Abstract

On 28 April 1192 Conrad, marquis of Montferrat and lord of Tyre, husband of the last royal princess of Jerusalem and newly-elected king of that embattled state, was assassinated. The persons immediately responsible for that deed were captured and summarily executed, but there was and remains some doubt about who was to blame ultimately for the crime. A new analysis of the evidence may shed some light on that unidentified culprit.
