      William of Tyre noted that Lusignan was "an obscure man, wholly incapable and indiscreet."

      "In part Baldwin's choice was governed by necessity, as Guy was the only unmarried adult male of sufficiently high birth then present in Palestine. Guy's connection with Poitou - a region ruled by Angevin King Henry II of England - may also have been a factor, for with Capetian France in disarray, England's importance as an ally was increased."
