Revolution in Jersusalem, 1187

1186: Guy of Lusignan is crowned King of Jerusalem, along with his wife, Sybilla of Jerusalem. 1187: King Guy reconciles with Raymond of Tripoli, after Raymond and the native faction fail to make Sybilla's sister Isabella and her husband Humphrey of Touron queen of king of Jerusalem. When Saladin invades the kingdom ,King Guy attempts to relieve Tiberias, which was being besieged by Saladin. In this scenario, the native barons start out with King Guy, but abandon him before he reaches the Horns of Hattin. King Guy with a much reduced army is of course crushed by Saladin. In the meantime, the native barons have seized Jerusalem and have decided to make the kingdom tributary to Saladin, who decides to withdraw. What happens now?

The Barons could have Guy and Sibylla deposed and they could either proclaim Isabella and Humphrey as monarchs or they could go further and elect a new King from among their ranks... Also Raymond could make a move then and seize the throne (he had a claim to it through his mother Hodierna if i remember correctly)
