  • Source: "Various stories are told about this incident raising questions about how and why Nicholas died , but in fact the weather was bad , the waves were high , and he may indeed have drowned because of rough seas." (Folda 2005, p. 487)
    • ALT1: ... that Patriarch Nicholas's valuables were found on a Venetian ship after he allegedly slipped to his death during boarding, leading some to suspect foul play? Source: "When the city of Acre fell Nicholas escaped to the harbour but was drowned while trying to board a Venetian ship, not, it would seem, without some hint of foul play, since his treasure-chest had already been taken onboard." (Hamilton 1980, p. 279)

    QPQ: Done.

    Overall: Everything looks great! I suggest a slightly more concise ALT2: "... that Patriarch Nicholas's valuables were found on a Venetian ship after he allegedly slipped to his death during boarding, leading some to suspect foul play?". I think that's more interesting than ALT0, because frankly, it seems normal to die during a sack, even by drowning; it's the details about boarding & treasure that make it suspicious and interesting.

    Also, just a request, but in the phrase "the rump Kingdom of Jerusalem" I'd appreciate a wikilink or gloss for what "rump" means in this context. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:36, 21 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
