From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled Amalric I:
"French AMAURY, OR AMAURI, king of Jerusalem from 1163 to 1174, a strong ruler, who protected the rights of vassals and helped prevent Muslim unity around the Holy Lands.
"Amalric, the son of King Fulk of Jerusalem, had been count of Jaffa and Ascalon before succeeding his elder brother Baldwin III on the throne in 1163. He was forced first to annul his marriage to Agnes of Courtenay because she was his third cousin (rights of legitimacy and inheritance, however, were granted to his son Baldwin and a daughter by Agnes). Insisting that a case of an unjustly dismissed vassal be heard, he passed a law giving vassals the right to appeal against treatment by their lords to the High Court.
"Because Egypt had never paid the yearly tribute that it had promised Baldwin III in 1160, Amalric, hoping to gain control of Egypt and break Muslim unity, invaded Egypt in 1163. During this unsuccessful attempt, Amalric's kingdom was attacked by the Syrian ruler Nureddin. Gradually the war became a contest for control of Egypt. Amalric appealed both to the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus and to Louis VII of France for help. Manuel agreed to lend his fleet for one of Amalric's campaigns, with the provision that Amalric divide Egypt with Byzantium. The expedition failed, but the Byzantine-Palestinian alliance was maintained. Upon Amalric's death his son Baldwin was crowned king of Jerusalem as Baldwin IV."
