1 gen 1163 anni - The Muslims were defeated by the Templars

Descrizione:

Passed 1163, Nur al-din would commit to Jihad. He led a raiding party to the county of Tripoli

This attracted the Franks of Antioch who under the leadership of the Templar Gilbert of Lacy attacked the Muslim armies, who outer numbered the Muslims. Most were killed and Nur al-din barely "escaped capture" according to a Latin contemporary.

This defeat humiliated Nur al-din who is said to vow revenge for himself and Islam in a prayer to God. The following year the Franks offered a truce that Nur al-din refused.

Nur al-din also restored the army from his own purse. A rare act for a Muslim Warlord.
