Description: (Ruler)
Raymond III, Count of Tripoli, was a prominent figure in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, serving as a regent and bailiff during the reigns of young kings. He engaged in military campaigns against various rulers, including Nur ad-Din and Saladin. Raymond faced challenges such as imprisonment and political conflicts, ultimately playing a role in the events leading up to the Battle of Hattin. Despite differing historical interpretations, he was acknowledged for his intelligence and leadership abilities, though his actions were later scrutinized following the crusaders' defeat.
