	GERARD DE RIDEFORT - MARTYR OR MADMAN?
		Unfortunately for the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Gerard bore a vehement hatred for Count Raymond for the rest of his life, and this grudge was to have a disastrous impact on the Kingdom in the future.
		Gerard saw this as further cause to denounce Raymond as a traitor to the Crown.
		Gerard was incensed, and ordered Jacques de Mailly, the Marshal of the Order, to summon the ninety knights from the Templar castle at Caco, and, along with the forty secular knights from the Nazareth garrison, went in search of the Muslim host.

	Gerard de Ridefort - Wikipedia
		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 the only survivors.
