You wake up, you are now Guy of Lusignan, the Regent of the Jerusalemite throne. The year is 1182, King Baldwin's health is declining. You have 5 years to prevent the capture of Jerusalem by Saladin and reclaim lost land, what do you do?

make sure that Barbarossa doesn't go for a swim, so that the 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand) [Multitudes more men than Saladin has in his army] stay for the fight.

Appeal to the Pope to threaten all Christian rulers who do not assist in the defense of Jerusalem with excommunication, attempt to convince any local religious minorities to help fight in the defense as well as disrupt Saladin's activities by promising them freedom to continue practicing their heathenry (outside of the actual holy city itself, obviously) after Jerusalem is successfully held.

So I assume you retain all knowledge from modern day life, right?
If so:
>Modernize into guns ASAP. Build an arsenal and push cartridge and gunpowder development while issuing single-shot falling block rifles with polygonal rifling.
>Focus on producing an heir. Sibylla wants teh codpiece. :)

This except have thousands of young redheads kidnapped from their homes to serve as the royal sperm bank.
Oh, and I'd probably settle for simple muzzle loaded firearms and artillery, at least in the short term until more complex production capabilities are created.

You have to build up metallurgy and gain access to Woortz steel just to be able to build a simple musket. That'll take you at least a century.
>Assainate Saladin, who's just a hired general of a major army.
You realize that the crusaders had just gotten accepted into decent society after behaving like retards (or Americans).
Not acting chivarous will get every emir to try to take you out, instead of trading with you.
>Are you 14 years old???
