Further reinforcements from France arrive in the Crusader camp over the summer, led by Henry II of Champagne, Theobald V of Blois, Stephen I of Sancerre, Ralph of Clermont, John of Fontigny, Alain of Saint-Valéry, the Archbishop of Besançon, the Bishop of Blois, and the Bishop of Toul.
Life in the city and the Christian camp quickly became difficult after their containment by Saladin.
Food remains limited, the water supply had become contaminated with human and animal corpses, and epidemics soon began to spread.
Louis of Thuringia, sick with malaria, makes plans to return home when the French arrived; he will die in Cyprus on the way back on October 16.
Among the victims of disease is Guy's wife, Sibylla, the source of his own claims to the throne, a few days after both of their daughters, Alais and Marie.
Sibylla’s rightful heir is her younger half-sister, Isabella of Jerusalem.
