Al-Din and the Holy War

Nur al-Din's coalition would have fallen to pieces under other circumstances. But instead, with the timing of everything, they end up with roughly the same coalition kind of facing them just under a new leader. Now he has almost fully reconstituted Nur al-DIn's state and they're just back in the same position they were to start with. And it's at this point that he really turns his attention to the Holy War. He concludes the truce with the Franks at this point.
