Mawdud joins Toghtekin of Damascus in 1113…

1113 CE

Mawdud joins Toghtekin of Damascus in 1113 and their combined army aims to cross the Jordan River south of the Sea of Galilee.

Baldwin I offers battle near the bridge of Al-Sannabra.

Mawdud uses the device of a feigned flight to entice Baldwin I into rashly ordering a charge.

The Frankish army is surprised and beaten when it unexpectedly runs into the main Turkish army.

The surviving Crusaders keep their cohesion and fall back to a hill west of the inland sea where they fortify their camp.

In this position they are reinforced from Tripoli and Antioch but remain inert.

A number of Christian pilgrims newly arrived from Europe also rally to the army after Al-Sannabra.
