Amalric's absence in Egypt leaves all three …
Years: 1164 - 1164
Amalric's absence in Egypt leaves all three crusader states without their rulers, but Nur ad-Din does not want to attack Antioch itself for fear of provoking a response from Constantinople, as the Principality is technically an imperial fief.
To his critics he replies, "I would rather have Bohemond as a neighbor than the King of the Greeks!".
Nur ad-Din goes on to besiege and capture Banias.
Amalric abandons Egypt and marches north with Thierry of Flanders to relieve Nur ad-Din's pressure on Antioch.
