After October 17. Brother William of Chastel Neuf (Frater Guillelmus de Castro Novo), sanctae domus Hospitalis Jerusalem magister informs Frater Gualterus de Sancto Martino praedicator that the captives of the Egyptians, including the king of France and his brothers, have been freed and have gone on to Acre. The king cannot leave Syria. He has sent his brothers and other nobles back to France for assistance. A major dispute has arisen between the sultans of Aleppo and Egypt, which may be advantageous.
