Baldwin II was in captivity during the conquest of Tyre, but was released later that year.[15] He immediately broke the terms of his release.[1] Baldwin II granted the Venetians extensive commercial privileges in Tyre, and thus ensured that they would maintain a naval presence in the Latin East.[4] The privilege included guarantees of property rights for the heirs of Venetians who were shipwrecked or who died in Tyre.[16]
