  Amalric I - LoveToKnow 1911
It became a question between Amalric and Nureddin, which of the two should control the discordant viziers, who vied with one another for the control of the decadent caliphs of Egypt.
On the other hand, it was natural for Nureddin to attempt to secure Egypt, both because it was the terminus of the trading route which ran from Damascus and because the acquisition of Egypt would enable him to surround the Latin kingdom.
Nureddin was jealous of his over-mighty subject, and his jealousy bound Saladin's hands.

Bostana and Margiana hastily conceal Nureddin in the chest of the Damascan suitor and Abul is summoned to carry it forth.
Within lies Nureddin motionless and horror is general but, at the magic sound of Margiana's name breathed in his ear by Abul Hassan, the young lover rouses and thus relieves the Cadi of the suspicion of murder.

Nureddin was an unusual character in his time, smart and honest at the same time.

Nureddin's accomplishment reached far beyond the military and political achievements: many mosques were built from the booty collected on his campaigns, as well as a schools, hospitals and caravansaries.

The cadi is right, for Nureddin is not a corpse but only in a swoon because he was nearly smothered, but he is without doubt Margiana’s dowry and he will become so publicly.
