Nur ad-Din goes on to besiege Antioch…

July 1149 CE

Nur ad-Din goes on to besiege Antioch itself, but is unable to take it.

Although devastated by the loss of its prince, the city is vigorously defended by Raymond's widow Constance and the Patriarch Aimery of Limoges.

King Baldwin III of Jerusalem marches north to relieve the siege.
