    Unfortunately, Guy de Lusignan was a bit of a twit, and the Frankish nobility were right to not want him on the throne. He got into a quarrel with the legendary Saladin (not as legendary at the time, but having just fucking united a vast empire taking up much of Turkish-occupied Anatolia and the Arab world, making him a bit of a threatening opponent for a little crusader-state to be picking fights with) and ended up losing everything in the process, including Jerusalem itself, to Saladin, kicking off the (largely unsuccessful, though very eventful) Third Crusade.

          And helped the expansion of an empire that also murdered thousands. Nothing good came of this.
