recipient: King Louis VII of France
institution: Templars
text: Late Aug. Frater G. Fulcherii domorum pauperis militiae Templi procurator informs King Louis VII of France of the dire state of the land of Antioch and the kingdom of Jerusalem. In July King Amalric, together with the master of the Temple and other leaders of the Holy Land, invaded Egypt and besieged Syraco [Shirkuh] the conestabulus of Nur ad-Din in Berbesium [Bilbais]. Nur ad-Din responded by laying siege to Harenc, situated on the frontier between Antioch and Aleppo, with siege engines and petraries, reducing the garrison to starvation. Prince Bohemond decided to [march in] support, together with the count of Tripoli, dominus Torosius, the dux Marmistensis and brothers of the Temple. So many milites, Turcopoli and pedites were involved that there had never in modern times been such a fair army. In a battle on 12 August the prince and the count were captured. Of 600 milites and 12000 pedites, few survived. The infideles have taken Harenc and besieged Antioch. Frater G. appeals to King Louis for assistance. Late Aug. Frater G.

738
year: 1164
initiator: Patriarch Aimery of Antioch
recipient: King Louis VII of France
text: Late Aug. Patriarch Aimery of Antioch writes to King Louis VII of France. He describes the misfortunes of the Latin East and appeals to the king to come to its assistance. Nur ad-Din, who now rules Damascus, invaded Egypt with a great army of Turci. The king of Egypt [Aegyptus], who is called the sultan of Cairo [Soldanus Babyloniae], appealed to King Amalric for assistance, offering annual tribute and the liberation of captives. Committing his kingdom to the care of his relation Prince Bohemond of Antioch and to the patriarch of Antioch, Amalric led a large army to Egypt and made a truce with the sultan, involving the payment of annual tribute [by the sultan] and the release from Egypt of Christians held in captivity. Ignoring offers of truce, Nur ad-Din besieged the castle of Harenc. The defenders - around 7000 persons, fighters, women and children - appealed for help. Bohemond left Antioch on 10 August to relieve Harenc. In the battle that ensued Prince Bohemond, the count of Tripoli, a Graecus called Calamannus Dux Mamistiensis, Hugo de Lesiniaco, and brothers of the Temple and the Hospital, who had come from Tripoli with the count, were captured. Others were killed or captured. Harenc fell to the Turci, although women, children and the wounded were allowed to withdraw to Antioch. The countryside is now open to the enemy. The clergy have taken over the defence of the city of Antioch. Late Aug. Patriarch Aimery of Antioch writes to King Louis VII of France.

text: Nov. 1-30. B. de Blancafort pauperis militiae Templi minister humilis writes to King Louis VII of France. Louis already knows that King Amalric made war in Egypt, taking with him the relic of the True Cross. Nur ad-Din had sent Syraco [Shirkuh] with a great army to the kingdom of Cairo [regnum Babyloniorum] with the intention of uniting Old Cairo [Babylon] and Damascus. Syraco [the above-named Turcus], who had occupied the strong city of Berbesium [Bilbais] and had garrisoned it with 30000 warriors, was forced to withdraw. But on returning to the Holy Land the Christians discovered that the city of Paneas, one of the strongest in the kingdom of Jerusalem, had been betrayed and occupied by the Turci and that Antioch had suffered the defeat of its army and is in danger of falling to Graeci or Turci. King Amalric cannot defend Antioch, Tripoli, Jerusalem and Cairo [Babylon] at the same time, whereas Nur ad-Din has at his disposal enough forces to attack all of them. Frater Heustercanis, Louis’s friend, is sick and cannot travel. B. is sending frater Walterus in his place to deliver his messages. Nov. 1-30.

Bertrannus militiae Templi minister humilis writes to King Louis VII of France, who has heard how King Amalric, following general advice, went to Egypt [regnum Babiloniae], with the relic of the True Cross, after Nur ad-Din had invaded it. Amalric succeeded, but he returned on hearing of the disasters in Antioch. Nur ad-Din had wanted to subject the kingdom of Cairo [Babilonicum regnum] to his lordship and hinder any invasion by the Christians. Antioch and Jerusalem are in such great difficulties they cannot be described in writing. Bertrannus is, therefore, sending frater Galterius to Louis, to whom everyone is looking for assistance.
