He describes the fall of Jerusalem and the Holy Places and the danger threatening Antioch. He has preserved Tyre, in spite of the hostility of Guido de Lisigniaco quondam rex, the magister of the Templars and the local magnates. The magister of the Templars has withdrawn the money given in alms by the king of England. The Hospitallers, on the other hand, have spent more than 8000 brabantini of their own money, over and above the English alms, on the defence of Tyre. Appealing for assistance, Conradus is sending magister Bandinus, his cancellarius et secretarius, and Johannes, a miles and his familiaris, to the archbishop to inform him orally of the situation.Sept. 20.
