Starting out as Emir of Aleppo, he steadily increased his territory at the expense of his <a href="/wiki/Muslim" class="mw-redirect" title="Muslim">Muslim</a> and Latin neighbors, until he gained the great city of Damascus in 1154. He seriously defeated the Crusaders at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Lake_Huleh_(1157)" title="Battle of Lake Huleh (1157)">Battle of Lake Huleh</a> in 1157, but fell very ill immediately afterward. This event allowed the Franks a chance to recover and, with the help of <a href="/wiki/Thierry_of_Alsace" class="mw-redirect" title="Thierry of Alsace">Thierry of Alsace</a> and an army of pilgrims, to capture Harim castle later in the year.
