It is debatable how much of the ultimate success of the crusade (the most successful since the First in territorial terms) was attributable to Theobald's intentions and how much was just fortuitous.
Upitno je koliko se konačni uspjeh križarskog rata (najuspješniji od prvog u teritorijalnom smislu) može pripisati Tibaltovim namjerama a koliko je samo slučajan.
