1140 CE

Zengi’s move against Damascus sparks a recognition of their common danger and results in a Jerusalem-Damascus alliance, a kind of diplomacy by now common with the second-generation Franks.

Fulk helps the Muslims of Damascus, under the vizier Mu'in ad-Din Unur, to ward off Zengi's armies in 1140.
