[677] According to one version, they implicitly refused it by
requiring, in addition, other conditions such as the garrison had not
power to accept without Saladin’s consent, which he was quite certain
not to give; _Gesta_, _l.c._, followed by R. Howden, iii. 171. Cf.
Bohadin, 233.
[678] Cf. Bohadin, 234, with _Gesta_, _l.c._

[686] See the various accounts of these negotiations in Bohadin,
235-7; Ibn Alathyr, _Recueil des Hist. des Crois., Hist. Orient._,
II, i. 44-7; other Arab authorities collected in Abu Shama, _ib._, V,

[692] _Itin._, 233, 234. According to Bohadin, French ed. p. 238,
this duty was entrusted to Conrad; the passage is omitted in the
Leyden MS. edited by Schultens, but is reproduced in an emphatic form
by Abu Shama (_Recueil, Hist. Orient._, V, 26).
[693] _Gesta_, 179, 180; _Itin._, 234.
[694] Bohadin, 237, 242; _Gesta_, 179. The _Estoire_, ll. 5217-19,
says the Franks were to have as hostages “Les plus hauz Turs e les
plus sages Que l’em poreit en Acre eslire,” and does not specify what
was arranged as to the garrison. But from the sequel it is quite
clear that the hostages really consisted of the whole body of the
garrison.
[695] Bohadin, 238. Cf. Ibn Alathyr, 47.
[696] He had sent his baggage thither on the night of the 12th,
Bohadin, 239; a fact which misled the author of the _Itinerarium_
(234) into saying that Saladin himself retired “eadem nocte sequenti
proxima post ingressionem nostram.” The _Gesta_, 181, agrees with
Bohadin in placing Saladin’s own removal on July 14.
[697] Bohadin, _l.c._
[698] _Ib._, 239, 240; cf. _Gesta_, 180.

[702] Otto of S. Blaise says of Richard: “Praeda communi universorum
sudore adquisita inter suos tantum distributa reliquos privavit, in
seque odia omnium concitavit. Omnibus enim fortiori militum robore
praestabat, et ideo pro velle suo cuncta disponens reliquos principes
parvipendebat” (Pertz, xx. 323). “Reliquos” seems here to include
Philip. Even Rigord does not go so far as this. It is certain that
Philip got his due share of the prisoners; and there is no reason to
doubt that he also got, as the English writers say, his due share of
the city and its contents.
