Playing as the Hospitallers I launched an attack against Tripoli (it was occupied by another catholic faction but it was an opportunity I couldn't let slip by) from my base at Rhodes. I won the battle and conquered the province and I then started to rebuild the place.

I then noticed an English crusade in Syria but didn't think anything of it. Next year came and the English crusade entered Tripoli and I gave the messenger my blessing that they were allowed to pass through my land on their holy quest. However, a ransom demand came up from the English of 8000 florins for my army stationed in Tripoli Hey I just let you guys in and now you hold my army for ransom? I paid the ransom and the English crusade took over my province

I attempted to build a port in time in order to pull my troops out but couldn't. So really I'm up a certain creak without a paddle .
