.
The problems of the reign of Baldwin IV. may be said to have been two—his See also:sister Sibylla and the fiery Raynald of See also:Chatillon, once See also:prince of See also:Antioch through See also:marriage to See also:Constance (1153–1159), then a See also:captive for many years in the See also:hand of the Mahommedans, and since 1176 See also:lord of Krak (See also:Kerak), to the See also:east of the Dead See also:Sea
.
Sibylla was the heiress of the kingdom; the problem of her marriage was important
.
Married first to William of See also:Montferrat, to whom she See also:bore a son, Baldwin, she was again married in 118o to See also:Guy of See also:Lusignan; and dissensions between Sibylla and her See also:husband on the one See also:side, and Baldwin IV. on the other, troubled the latter years of his reign
.
Meanwhile Raynald of Krak took See also:advantage of the position of his fortress, which See also:lay on the See also:great route of See also:trade from See also:Damascus and See also:Egypt, to See also:plunder the caravans (1182), and thus helped to precipitate the inevitable attack by Saladin
.
When the attack came, Guy of Lusignan was made See also:regent by Baldwin IV., but he declined See also:battle and he was consequently deposed both from his regency and from his right of See also:succession, while Sibylla's son by her first husband was crowned king as Baldwin V. in 1183
