Irritated by his Damascus overlord, the emir of <a href="/wiki/Bozrah" class="mw-redirect" title="Bozrah">Bosra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Salkhad" title="Salkhad">Salkhad</a> invited the Crusaders to occupy the two places. Before the Latin army could take possession of Bosra, the emir's wife allowed a Damascene garrison into the city, and the thwarted Crusaders were forced to retreat via a grueling march through enemy territory. The Turks constantly harassed the retreating Latin column but were unable to inflict a defeat on their enemies. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Bosra_(1147)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the spring of 1147,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESmail1995129_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmail1995129-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Altuntash, Emir of Bosra and <a href="/wiki/Salkhad" title="Salkhad">Salkhad</a>, squabbled with his nominal superior, Mu'in ad-Din Unur, ruler of Damascus.

Many Latin soldiers were eager for battle, but more cautious heads prevailed. Posting extra guards to watch for a surprise attack, the Frankish army made camp and spent the night. After a council of war the next day, Baldwin and his officers determined to continue the expedition to Bosra in a fighting march. The Latin army moved in the usual formation when opposed by an army of Turkish horse archers. Provision was made to oppose attacks on the van, the flanks and the rear. The Frankish foot soldiers marched in close formation with foot archers ready to fire back at the Turkish horse archers and spearmen ready to repel a direct attack. "In order to maintain the solidity of the column, the pace of the mounted troops was made to conform to that of the infantry."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeeler1971141_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeeler1971141-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>For four days, the Crusaders advanced toward their intended goal, under constant archery and probing attacks. Further, the soldiers were bedeviled by thirst in the hot summer weather. When they arrived at Bosra, the Franks managed to obtain water and other supplies. The Crusaders' high hopes were dashed when they found that Altuntash's wife, made of sterner stuff than her husband, had introduced a Damascene garrison into Bosra's citadel. Unwilling to chance a siege close to an enemy host, Baldwin elected to withdraw. </p><p>The Franks suffered even worse on their return march from the heat, dust and constant harassment by the Turks. One day, the Saracens set fire to the dry brush upwind of the Franks, adding to their misery. The Crusaders carried their dead and wounded with them so that their enemies would not be encouraged by their losses. "Any man who left his place in the ranks was threatened with severe penalties."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESmail1995159_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmail1995159-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Leaving the ranks without permission was forbidden. However, one exception was that a knight was allowed to rescue a Christian if he was about to be killed by a Muslim. </p><p>As the Franks neared their own territories, the Saracens redoubled their attacks on the Latin rearguard, trying to separate it from the rest of the formation. Near the moment of crisis, a Turk fighting with the Crusaders rode out without leave and killed an opponent in personal combat. This so dismayed the Damascenes and encouraged the Franks that "excuses were found for his breach of orders."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESmail1995129_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESmail1995129-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ultimately, the Saracens were unable to stop the Crusader army from recrossing the Jordan and safely returning to the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Jerusalem" title="Kingdom of Jerusalem">Kingdom of Jerusalem</a>.
