Count of Edessa
The Count of Edessa was the ruler of one of the Crusader states of the 12th century. The title was created when Baldwin of Boulogne took over the Principality of Edessa in 1098, renaming it the County of Edessa. The last Count was captured by Nur ad-Din in 1150 and died in 1159.
==History==
The Byzantine Empire recovered Edessa. Thoros of Edessa called Baldwin for help.
In 1098 Baldwin of Boulogne left the main Crusading army, which was traveling south towards Antioch and Jerusalem, and travelled to Edessa. There, he convinced its king to adopt him as a son and heir. Thoros was a Greek Orthodox, and was disliked by his Armenian subjects. He was soon assassinated, although it is unknown if Baldwin had any part in this. Baldwin became the new ruler, taking the title of Count (as he had been called in Boulogne).
With the campaign of Maudud in 1110, fortune began to favor the Muslims. Edessa had to endure siege after siege. In 1144 it was stormed (Matthew being among the slain) by Imad ad-Din Zengi, ruler of Mosul, under Joscelin II, an achievement celebrated as "the conquest of conquests". An Edessan monk: John, bishop of Harran (died 1165), became responsible for the whole bench of bishops. Edessa suffered still more in 1146 after an attempt to recover it. Churches were now turned into mosques. The consternation produced in Europe by the news of its fate led to "the Second Crusade". In 1182 it fell to Saladin, whose nephew recovered it when it had temporarily passed (in 1234) to the sultan of Rum.
