Years: 1145 - 1145
Zengi, after conquering Edessa and the surrounding area, resettles three hundred Jewish families in place of the Armenians, who he suspects of having supported the Latin Christian crusaders.
Zengi himself is praised throughout Islam as "defender of the faith" and al-Malik al-Mansur, "the victorious king".
Although his capture of Edessa represents the crusaders' first serious setback, he cannot press his advantage.
He does not pursue an attack on the remaining territory of Edessa, or the Principality of Antioch, as is feared.
