Raynald of Châtillon
In November 1177, Baldwin and Raynald of Châtillon defeated Saladin with the help of the Knights Templar at the celebrated Battle of Montgisard. In August 1179, the unfinished castle at Jacob's Ford fell to Saladin, with the slaughter of half its Templar garrison. The kingdom began to harass the trading caravans travelling between Egypt and Damascus. After Saladin retaliated for these attacks in the campaign but was defeated at the Battle of Belvoir Castle in 1182 and later in the Siege of Kerak of 1183.
