	Gerard de Ridefort - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Gerard of Ridefort (died October 1, 1189) was Grand Master of the Knights Templar from 1184 until his death.
		In 1186, when Baldwin V of Jerusalem died, Gerard took the side of the royal court faction in the ensuing succession struggle, simply because Raymond was the leader of the baronial faction.
		On May 1, Gerard and fewer than 100 Templars attacked Saladin at the Battle of Cresson; Saladin, however, had over 5000 men, and Gerard was one of a very small number of survivors.

	Battle of Cresson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
