Hugh III Embriaco
Hugh III Embriaco or Hugo III of Gibelet (also called "The Limping One"; ; born before 1164 – died c. 1196) was the Lord of Gibelet, located in the County of Tripoli. Biography Hugh III was the son of Hugh II Embriaco, Lord of Gibelet. Upon his father's death around 1184, he succeeded him as ruler of the city. Like his predecessor, Hugh III promoted the interests of Genoese merchants, particularly the powerful viscount families who dominated trade between Genoa and Syria. This policy allowed the Embriaco family to assert increasing autonomy from the Genoese Republic itself—an evolution that drew protests from Popes Alexander III and Urban III, though without tangible consequences. In 1187, during the Battle of Hattin, Hugh was captured by Sultan Saladin. In order to secure his release, he was forced to cede Gibelet. The city was later reclaimed by his son Guido I Embriaco during Emperor Henry VI's Crusade of 1197. Marriage and issue By 1179 at the latest, Hugh III had ma ...

Christians Of The Crusade Of 1197
A Christian () is a person who follows or adheres to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians form the largest religious community in the world. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title (), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term ''mashiach'' () (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.3 billion Christians around the world, up from about 600 million in 1910.
