Bosra, Battle of

Years: 1147 - 1147

In the Battle of Bosra in 1147, a Crusader force commanded by King Baldwin III of Jerusalem fights an inconclusive running battle with Turkish forces from Damascus led by Mu'in ad-Din Unu, aided by Nur ad-Din's contingent from Mosul and Aleppo.

Since the Frankish army's attempted acquisition of Bosra is thwarted, the campaign ends in a strategic victory for Damascus.

“What experience and history teach is that nations and governments have never learned anything from history."
