Description:

His brother, Amalric, succeeds him.
Still good relationship with Byzantium.
Amalric made 5 attempts to capture Egypt between 1163 and 1170 - made sense. Protect southern borders and provide money.
Amalric had to divorce his wife, Agnes, when he became king on grounds of consanguinity. Agnes was blamed for preventing Amalric from becoming Patriarch of Jerusalem. Their marriage was also bigamous.
