Jerusalem Hostel: Youth hostels, in the country, will give you a bed for 30 to 40 cents and meals for about the same price apiece; which leads me to mention a youth hostel ship, named Chapman, moored in Stockholm at the quay of Skeppsholmen Island, opposite the Old City. It is open to all members of the International Youth Hostel Federation and also to anyone who can show the special identification card issued by the Swedish Touring Club at a low price. Meals are taken at a snack bar in the ship.After the deaths of Baldwin (1185) and his child-nephew Baldwin V (1186), the throne passed to Sibylla, and the barons only very reluctantly agreed that Guy should receive the crown. As king, Guy was weak and unpopular and could count on little support at the critical moment when the Muslim leader Saladin attacked jerusalem hostel in 1187. Guy was defeated and taken prisoner at the Battle of Hattin in July 1187, and jerusalem hostel fell to Saladin in October.
Acre, nevertheless, was taken by the crusaders, and in August Philip sailed for Europe. War with Saladin (q.v.) was renewed on account of Richard's atrocious massacre of 2,700 Mohammedan prisoners. At Arsuf, September 7, Richard won a decisive victory and in spite of prolonged negotiations moved on jerusalem hostel, arriving in December 1191 within a very short distance of the city. He fell back to Ascalon, where the contest between Guy of Lusignan and Conrad of Monferrat for the kingdom of jerusalem hostel was productive of dissensions among the crusaders. |
