comments: [214] Grandclaude (‘Liste’, pp. 340-1), suggested that this assise could not be earlier than 1177, when no one was considering three candidates for the hand of Sibylla of Jerusalem (William of Tyre, pp. 977-81). On the other hand, it must certainly have been in force by the reign of King Aimery, because of his disapproval of the marriage of Beatrice of Courtenay (Lignages d’Outremer, p. 69) and because it is treated at length in the Livre au roi. [215] Grandclaude (‘Liste’, p. 344) lists two other assises, but the use of the term ‘serfs’ in the first – a word very rarely used on the mainland – suggests that this may have been Cypriot legislation, perhaps even of the fourteenth century, (‘Assises de la Baisse Court’, pp. 226-7) and the reference by John of Ibelin (p. 186) to an ‘assise ou usage’ concerning lost property suggests that he was not sure that there was an assise on this subject, as opposed to custom.

Confident of victory, they sortied from the castle of the Knights Templar called Faba and met the enemy at Casel Robert. They were defeated. The master of the Hospital, frater Robbertus Frauiel and frater Laquelinus de Mali and many others were killed. Saladin, having devastated the land, returned to Damascus. Collecting an army, he camped at the pons Tyberiadis. Then he invaded and besieged Tiberias, taking the city after three days. The king of Jerusalem, encamped with his army at fons Saforiae, decided to relieve Tiberias. In the battle [of Hattin] that ensued, Bernardus Liddensis episcopus and Rufinus Achornensis episcopus, who carried the relic of the [True] Cross, were killed. The Cross was taken. The king, the master of the Knights Templar and Aymericus, the king’s brother and constable, were captured, as was princeps Reynaldus, who was murdered by Saladin himself. Many others were killed; including Templars and Hospitallers. The leaders appeal for assistance.Late Jul.
