A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . the south and the Turks on the north soon renewtd THE CHRISTIAN STATES IN PALESTINE. 265 their attacks. Renaiid was made prisoner; and King Baldwin, amidthese disturbances, died in February, 1162, poisoned, it was said, bya Saracen physician. His brother, Amaury I.
