When the Franks heard that Saladin’s army was at Tiberias,
many of them wanted to march at once, but Raymond said,
‘Tiberias belongs to me. I’ve never seen so strong a Muslim army,
and I think that we’re not wise to fight them even if my castle
and my wife are in danger!’
But Reynald of Chatillon replied, ‘You’re trying to make us
afraid because you prefer the Muslims to us!’
