Whenever Usama stayed in Nablus, he would use the lodgings ran by a certain Muizz. There was a Frankish wineseller in Nablus whose house was close by, and he would take some wine in a bottle and go around shouting "so-and-so the merchant has just opened a cask full of this wine; anyone who wants to buy some will find it in such-and-such a place". This man was not at all jealous of his wife and would not become suspicious even when he found another man in bed with her. [There follows a case of trial by combat, ridiculed by Usama.] A peasant from a village near Nablus was accused of helping Muslim thieves, and fled from king Fulk. Fulk had his children imprisoned, and this brought him back, and he challenged his (unknown) accuser to a duel. Fulk then asked the tenant of the village to bring the accuser, but he chose the village blacksmith [presumably to minimise the chance of losing one of his peasants]. The viscount of Nablus provided the man and the blacksmith with a cudgel and shield each, and gathered an audience, who made a circle. The blacksmith killed his opponent, and thus justice was done!
