1 lugl 1182 anni - Battle near La Forbelet
Descrizione:
Saladin prepared a campaign against the Zengids in Mosul and Aleppo. When setting off to Syria by passing through Transjordan, Reynold of Chatillon convinced Baldwin to gather an army to confront Saladin in fear that newly planted crops may be destroyed. A series of small attacks occurred in Southern Galilee with the Franks winning.
This would show Christian strength, however Saladin determined these battles to weaken the Franks at minimal risk or cost rather to overthrow them in a large campaign.
A series of letter to Bagdad from Saladin shows longing for Jihad against the Latins, but frustrations by Islamic disunity halting Holy War.
