Years: 1137 - 1137
Leo’s three sons had quarreled in his absence: the eldest, Constantine, had eventually been captured and blinded by his brothers.
Meanwhile, the Danishmend emir, Mohammed II ibn Ghazi, had invaded Cilicia and destroyed the harvest.
Shaken by these disasters, Leo buys his freedom by offering to give up the Cilician cities (Sarventikar, Mamistra and Adana) to Raymond I; in addition he pays sixty thousand gold pieces and gives his son as a hostage; but on his return home he forgets his promise.
A desultory war breaks out again, until, early in 1137, Joscelin II patches up a truce between the combatants.
An alliance is then formed against the Emperor John II Komnenos, who is now pressing his claims against Antioch as well as Cilicia.
