| | |  Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Conrad of Montferrat - Conrad and the crusader statesHowever, feeling that his service had been insufficiently rewarded, wary of Byzantine anti-Latin sentiment (his youngest brother Renier had been murdered in 1182) and of possible vengeance-seeking by Branas's family, Conrad fled to the Kingdom of Jerusalem in July 1187. (Some popular modern histories have claimed that he was fleeing vengeance after committing a private murder: this is due to a failure to recognise Branas's name, garbled into "Lyvernas", in the French continuation of William of Tyre, and an error by Roger of Howden, who also ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Acre - The double siege During the autumn, more European crusades arrived, allowing Guy to blockade Acre by land. News of the imminent arrival of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor reached the crusaders, which not only raised the morale of the Christian soldiers, but also compelled Saladin to bring in so many more troops that he was able to surround both the city and the crusade camp in two separate sieges.
The next fifteen months passed with no major actions on either side. On October 31 fifty Muslim galleys broke through the Christian sea blockade and supplie ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Richard I of England - Richard on the Third Crusade In April 1191, Richard stopped on the Byzantine island of Rhodes to avoid the stormy weather. It seems that Richard had previously met his fiancée Berengaria only once, years before their marriage. He had assigned his mother to represent him and convince her father, Sancho VI of Navarre, and her other relatives to agree to the marriage, and to bring the bride to the wedding. Richard came to their rescue when they were shipwrecked on the coast of Cyprus. He left Rhodes in May but a new storm drove Richard's fleet to the island. On May 6, 119 ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Medici - Art and architecture The most significant accomplishments of the Medici were in art and architecture, within which the portfolio of talent employed by Medici is a virtual "Who's Who?" of Renaissance art and architecture. Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, the first patron of art in the family, aided Masaccio and ordered the reconstruction of the Church of San Lorenzo. Cosimo the Elder's notable artistic associates were Donatello and Fra Angelico. The most significant addition to the list over the years was Michelangelo, who produced work for a number of Medici, begin ...

Portsmouth - Early history of the area.
Although there have been settlements in the area since before Roman times, mostly being offshoots of Portchester, Portsmouth is commonly regarded as having been founded in 1180 by John of Gisors (Jean de Gisors). Most early records of Portsmouth are thought to have been destroyed by Norman invaders following the Norman Conquest. The earliest detailed references to Portsmouth can ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Conrad of Montferrat - Early life Conrad was the second son of Marquess William V of Montferrat, "the Elder", and his wife Judith of Babenberg. He was a first cousin of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, Louis VII of France and Leopold V of Austria.
In his teens, Conrad served at the court of his maternal uncle, Conrad, Bishop of Passau, later Archbishop of Salzburg. (He may have been named after him, or after another maternal uncle, Conrad III of Germany.) He seems to have been well-educated, and was regarded as intelligent and cultured, fluent in several languages. Retur ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Conrad of Montferrat - Conrad in the Byzantine Empire In 1179, following the family's alliance with Manuel I Comnenos, Conrad led an army against Frederick Barbarossa's forces, then commanded by the imperial Chancellor, Archbishop Christian von Mainz. He defeated them at Camerino in September, taking the Chancellor hostage. (He had previously been a hostage of the Chancellor.) He went to Constantinople to be thanked by the Emperor, returning to Italy shortly after Manuel's death in 1180. Nicetas Choniates describes him at this time (in his mid-thirties) as "of beautiful appearance, comely in the springtime of life, exceptional and peerless in cou ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Acre - Tyre In Tyre, Conrad of Montferrat had entrenched himself and had successfully resisted Saladin’s assault at the end of 1187. The sultan then turned his attention to other tasks, but then tried to negotiate the surrender of the city by treaty, as in mid-1188 the first reinforcements from Europe arrived at Tyre by sea. Under the terms of the treaty, Saladin would, among other things, release King Guy, whom he had captured at Hattin. This would have escalated the conflict between Guy, who was blamed for the catastrophe of Hattin, and Conrad, who ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Acre - The kings at Acre Philip arrived on April 20, 1191, and Richard on June 8, after he had (rather thoughtlessly considering the situation at Acre) used the opportunity to conquer Cyprus along the way. Philip had used the time before Richard’s arrival to build siege engines, and now that stronger leadership from Europe had arrived, it was the city and not the Christian camp that was besieged. When Richard arrived, he sought a meeting with Saladin, and an armistice of three-days was agreed upon so that the meeting could take place. However, both Richard and Philip fell ill and the meeting did not take place. ...

| | | | Leopold V of Austria: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Acre - Battle of Acre On October 4 Saladin moved to the east of the city to confront Guy’s camp. The crusader army under Guy stood its ground in front of Saladin’s forces. The Christian army consisted of the feudal lords of the kingdom, many smaller contingents of European crusaders, and members of the military orders; the Muslim army consisted of troops from Egypt, Turkestan, Syria, and Mesopotamia.
The Muslims lay in a semicircle east of the city facing inwards towards Acre. The crusader army lay in between, with lighty-armed crossbowmen in the first ...

Instead of turning against John, Richard came into conflict with his former ally and friend, King Philip. When Philip attacked Richard's fortress, Chateau-Gaillard, he boasted that "if its walls were iron, yet would I take it", to which Richard replie ...
