He found the Christian army in a dreadful state, torn by disputes and featuring poor moral behaviour, while hemmed in and under attack from the Turci. Saladin’s potency grows while Christian power dimishes. On 8 January the Turks killed 4000 Christian foot soldiers. Other deaths include those of the queen of Jerusalem, comes Stephanus frater archiepiscopi Remensis, comes Barensis nepos archiepiscopi Remensis, comes de Ferreres frater comitis de Clara, Bernardus junior de Sanwaleri and Randulfus de Glanvilla.Oct. 21.

comments: [232] A letter from Pope Innocent III [dated probably 10-31 May 1199] reveals that the papal curia had concluded that the marriages of Queen Isabella to Conrad of Montferrat and later to Henry of Champagne had been illegitimate. (Innocent III, Die Register 2 :128-9, no. 72). The sentiment in the Christian camp before Acre at the forcible separation of Isabella and Humphrey was conveyed in evidence given in October 1213 to a commission chaired by Cardinal Robert of Courçon by the following witnesses, who had been present: Guido de Dampetra; Odardus marescallus Campaniae; Guido de Capis; Petrus Turkinus; Willelmus comes Jonviniacensis; Hugo de sancto Mauritio; Robertus de Miliaco; Rogerius de Sancto Karauno; and Lambertus de Barro.
