1133 CE
Baarin, a village in northern Syria, serves in the early twelfth century as a fortress of the Crusaders, who refer to it as "Mons Ferrandus" or "Montferrand."
In 1133, Pons of Tripoli escapes to Baarin for refuge where, according to chronicler William of Tyre, he is shortly besieged by the Muslim army of Aleppo led by Zengi before being rescued by King Fulk of Jerusalem.
