In April 1179 while leading the army against the forces of Saladin in the battle of Banias King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem was caught off guard by a small detachment of Arabs soldiers lead by Saladin's nephew Faruk Shah... The King was thrown off his horse but he was saved the last moment by Humphrey II de Toron who was mortally wounded while protecting the King...
WI Baldwin IV dies then? His nephew was only 2 years old Sibylla was still a widow and Isabella was an infant... Could Raymond of Tripoli staged a coup and claimed power for himself? Or Baldwn d' Ibelin breaks through and marries (forcibly perhaps?) Sibylle? How i that changing History? Any thoughts?
