	MsaylHa Castle, Lebanon
		The governor of Batroun, a European renegade who had made common cause with the Turks, was determined not to respect the firman and to hold the coast for himself.
		The Emir Ismail, after spending long months at the imperial court in person in an effort to gain redress, was finally given the separate fief of Qadmus, 70 miles to the north, and the embattled princes at Wuj al-Hajar were compensated with additional lands north of their stronghold, up to the gates of Tripoli.
		Before abandoning their rights to the Byblos extension of the original fief, however, the emirs, bypassing Batroun, surveyed the "little mountain" of Jebail and decided that in view of the inability of the villagers to contribute significantly to its defense it was beyond Ayyubid power to effectively defend it.
