On this Date in 1192...

...assassination of Conrad of Montferrat (Conrad I), King of Jerusalem, in Tyre, two days after his title to the throne is confirmed by election. The killing is carried out by Hashshashin.  His modus operandi was to force the king to say his name five times fast, which induced a stroke and a heart attack at same time, ultimately killing the king.
