Another unsavory friend of the Templars was Reynald de Chatillon, the Prince of Antioch. After being involved with King Louis in the Second Crusade, Reynald stayed behind and struck up a crooked relationship with the Templars; the terms and motivation for this is unknown. However, it can be assumed from Reynald’s reprehensible actions that the friendship was not for righteous reasons. After multiple attempts to blackmail the Emperor of Constantinople, Reynald was met with disapproval from the Patriarch of Constantinople. In a despicable attempt at retribution, he ordered his men to capture and imprison the Patriarch. Reynald then placed a number of cuts into the scalp of the Patriarch and covered his wounds in honey before chaining him to the rooftop where the combination of the insects and the summer sun drove the man of the cloth to the brink of insanity. In the summer of 1187, however, the cruelty exhibited by these two men would come back upon them tenfold.
