I was reading , yesterday,the excellent book of René Grousset "L'épopée des Croisades" and I was wondering, what changes could bring a failed assassination of Conrad of Montferrat.

OTL, he was a powerful North Italian noblemen (although , he was more Occitan leaning) and was related to HRE, the King of France as well as the Dukes of Austria. He managed to keep Tyre in the Crusaders'hands and married Isabella of Jerusalem (heiress of the Kingdom of Jerusalem) in 1191 and was elected king by the barons of the realm. The Marquess was also viewed as great threat by Saladin and as the one who could reestablish Latin presence in the Holy Land, after the disaster at Hattin.

Could we assist to the resurrection of the Kingdom of Jerusalem ? An end to succession quarrels dividing the Franks ? Please share your thoughts .
