Joscius and Balian continue on to Tiberias. …
Years: 1187 - 1187
May
Joscius and Balian continue on to Tiberias.
Balian is still a day behind, and had also stopped at Sebastea to celebrate a feast day.
After reaching the castle of La Fève, where the Templars and Hospitallers had camped, he found that the place was deserted.
He had sent his squire Ernoul ahead to learn what had happened, and news of the disastrous battle soon arrived from the few survivors.
Raymond had heard about the battle as well and meets the embassy at Tiberias, and agreed to accompany them back to Jerusalem.
Raymond is finally willing to acknowledge Guy as king, but the damage to the kingdom is severe, and both Gerard and Raynald consider Raymond a traitor.
However Guy, knowing that Saladin's army is already forming for a renewed assault on the kingdom, cannot afford to let this internecine quarrel continue and welcomes Raymond with open arms.
