Overview
Arnat (Reynald de Châtillon), lord of al-Karak. Ibn al-Athir describes him as one of the devils of the Franks and the most hostile of them to the Muslims. This is Ibn al-Athir's judgement, not the museum's 2.
In 577 AH he resolved to march overland to Tayma and then to Medina, but Izz al-Din Farrukhshah, the deputy of Damascus, outwitted him until his ambition was cut off 2. In 578 AH he carried a dismantled fleet from al-Karak to the Sea of Aqaba. One group went to Aqaba and another to Aydhab to raid the coasts. The fleet of Egypt, led by Husam al-Din Lu'lu' the chamberlain, caught them and destroyed them 3.
