Page "Guy of Lusignan" Paragraph 19

The conflict continued throughout the siege of Acre, although it did not deter Guy from gallantly saving Conrad's life when he was surrounded by the enemy.

A temporary settlement was then reached by which Guy was to remain king in his lifetime, but to be succeeded by Conrad and Isabella or their heirs.

However, in April 1192 Richard finally realised that he could not return home without a final resolution to the matter, definitely relinquishing the crown in May 1192.

The kingship was put to a vote among the barons of the kingdom: Conrad was elected unanimously, and Guy accepted defeat.

Only days later, Conrad was assassinated by Hashshashin, and Isabella married Richard's nephew Henry II of Champagne ; when he died in 1197, Isabella married Guy's brother Amalric.
