Summary
Amalric, king of the Franks, died at the beginning of the year. According to Ibn al-Athir, he had been the greatest of their kings in courage and judgement. He was succeeded by his son, a leper in appearance with nothing of substance beneath, and the management of affairs passed to Count Raymond, lord of Tripoli, who had recently been released from captivity to Nur al-Din in exchange for 150,000 dinars and a thousand prisoners 2.
