Council of Nablus established first written laws for Kingdom of Jerusalem

Summary:
Baldwin II and the patriarch Gormond of Piquigny felt that Jerusalem was suffering from God's wrath, shown in earthquakes, military defeats and plagues of locusts and mice. They therefore jointly held a council at Nablus of the prelates and nobles of Jerusalem to raise moral standards. The result was the first written laws for the kingdom, in 25 articles which are preserved in many church archives
