Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military conflict Шаблон:Campaignbox Zengid-Crusader War The Battle of al-Atharib occurred in 1130 when Imad al-Din Zengi laid siege to al-Atharib in spring and defeated an army led against him to relieve the town commanded by King Baldwin.[1]

Imad al-Din Zengi sought to reassert Muslim control over the eastern frontier of the Principality of Antioch.[1] Zengi invaded and raided the territories of Antioch, in the Spring of 1130 he laid siege to al-Atharib.[1][2]

When the Franks and King Baldwin, who was in command of a Latin army, advanced to relieve the city, the officers of Zengi advised him to retreat, however Baldwin scorned their advice.[3] A battle followed and Zengi emerged victorious.[3][2][1] After conquering the citadel of al-Atharib, Zengi destroyed it and razed it to the ground.[4]

Zengi then advanced on the fortress of Harim but its inhabitants persuaded him to abandon his siege in return for half of the districts revenues.[3] A truce was concluded and Zengi returned to his territories.[3]
