Kerbogha of Mosul

Qiwam al-Dawla Kerbogha besieged the city of Antioch during the First Crusade in 1098. While on his way to Antioch, his army made a quick stop at Edessa, where they attempted to regain the city from the Franks for three weeks.

Sadly, if they hadn’t stopped off on their way to Antioch, there was the possibility that the Crusade would have ended. As it was, the city was already taken by the time they arrived.
