 What would have happend if Sir Robert had not disobeyed orders?
Behind the Templars rode the mailed knights of Brittany and Anjou. These were followed by King Guy of Jerusalem and the host of Poitou. He himself, Sir Robert de Bouain, was riding with the Norman and English troops, just behind the men of Poitou. Behind the standard-bearer, his great war horse moving with a steady, measured pace, his coronet of gold on his steel helm gleaming in the glaring desert sun, the lions of England on his firm-held shield, was the King himself. Sir Robert de Bouain twisted again in his saddle to look at the knight riding alongside him. Sir Robert's voice came like a sword: steely, flat, cold, and sharp. He has returned to France in haste, leaving the rest of us to fight the Saracen for the Holy Land leaving only the contingent of his vassal the Duke of Burgundy to remain with us." "Richard of England has never been on the best of terms with Philip Augustus," said Sir Gaeton. "Could we have permitted a quarrel to develop between the two finest knights and warleaders in Christendom at this crucial point? "You did what must be done in honor," the Gascon conceded, "but you have not gained the love of Richard by doing so." Sir Gaeton said nothing more, but there was a look in his eyes that showed that he felt that Richard of England might even doubt the loyalty of Sir Robert de Bouain.
