Bertrand of Toulouse (son of Alfonso Jordan)
- ... that Christians were outraged when Count Raymond II of Tripoli helped Muslims capture his cousin Bertrand, who had tried to conquer Tripoli?

- Comment: This article is tied to the article Hodierna of Jerusalem, which is also nominated for DYK. I have considered a double hook, but decided that the separate hooks are more interesting. I hope that the two hooks can be featured on the same day as a compromise solution.

Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - I don't have the source, so I could AGF, but from the preview Google does provide, the outrage was about Raymond seeking the assistance of Muslims in capturing 'Urayama, not about him helping the Muslims. Also, I believe the source claims the outrage was about the capture of the fortress, not about the capture of Bertrand. Finally, isn't the end of the hook a supposition made by historians?
- Interesting:
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: This hangs on what an AGF source says. Either a clarification about it or a rewording of the hook to be more accurate will do. Muhandes (talk) 17:19, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- All of history is historians' suppositions., Muhandes :) It is true that on page 155 the outrage is connected to the capture of the fortress. On page 157 the outrage is about Bertrand's capture, but it is Raymond's wife and sister-in-law/aunt who are accused of collaboration. Therefore I propose the following alternative hooks:
- ALT1: ... that Christians were outraged when Count Raymond II of Tripoli helped Muslims seize a fortress from his cousin Bertrand?
- ALT2: ... that the capture of the crusader Bertrand of Toulouse by Muslims was blamed by an anonymous monk on the "treachery" of Queen Melisende and Countess Hodierna?
- See which you like best. ALT2 might be my favorite. Surtsicna (talk) 08:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
