نور الدين يفك حصار الفرنج عن دمشق
نور الدين يفك حصار الفرنج عن دمشق
c. 1148 CE · 543 AH
In 543 the Franks besieged Damascus; Nur al-Din Mahmud ibn Zangi, then lord of Aleppo, reached it with his brother Ghazi, lord of Mosul — the Muslims were victorious and the Franks routed. Nur al-Din pressed on against them, taking what they had seized of Muslim lands {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 673}.
