Topic: Battle of Harim


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  Battle of Harim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Harim was fought on August 12, 1164 between the forces of Nur ad-Din and the armies of the County of Tripoli and the Principality of Antioch.
Reginald of St. Valery, lord of Harim, called for help, and Raymond III of Tripoli, Bohemund III of Antioch, and Joscelin III of Edessa arrived to relieve the siege.
They were joined by Constantine-Colman, the Byzantine governor of Cilicia, and Thoros and Mleh of Armenia, as well as Godfrey Martel, brother of William IV of Angoulême, and Hugh VIII of Lusignan, both of whom had recently arrived on pilgrimage.

In 1164 Joscelin was taken captive by Nur ad-Din at the Battle of Harim, and remained a prisoner until 1176 when Agnes paid his ransom.
He was therefore allied with the inner circle of the royal family in Jerusalem, which was opposed by the lesser nobles led by Raymond III, count of Tripoli.
At the Battle of Hattin in 1187, Joscelin commanded the rearguard with Balian of Ibelin.

In the battle of Graus, Castile and the moorish Kingdom of Zaragoza defeat Aragon.
The battle of Nicopolis is exemplary because, as often, the impetuous charge of the knights while being very powerfull (they indeed entered into the janissary in front of them like in hot butter) meant they had lost the battle (the rest of the turkish troops isolating them from the rest of the army).

At the battle of Horns in 680/1281, the majority of Qalawun's personal mamluks were young and inexperienced, while the body of veteran royal mamluks - the Zahiriyya - had been weakened by Qalawun's purges.
In the tumult of the battle, they would have to search out their mounts (were they with grooms, other soldiers?), certainly a far from simple task given the general confusion that accompanies any battle.
In the case of Abulustayn at least, the Mongols realized that the battle was lost, and in effect declared their willingness to fight to the end by dismounting.

Bohemond was captured in battle with the Danishmends in 1100, and his nephew Tancred became regent.
Bohemund was taken captive by Nur ad-Din the following year at the Battle of Harim, and the Orontes River became the permanent boundary between Antioch and Aleppo.
Both, however, were swept up by the conflict between the Mameluks and the Mongols; when the Mongols were defeated at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, Baibars began to threaten Antioch, which (as a vassal of the Armenians) had supported the Mongols.

He was one of the handful of outstanding soldier-statesmen Europe produced under the stimulus of Turkish pressure, and as a general he was years ahead of his time in recognising the superiority of paid regular troops, whom he used in preference to feudal levies whenever possible.
This battle of Kossovo was most significant, in that it hastened the introduction of hand-guns in the Ottoman armies.

If the Battle of Qadesh stands to be the most well known of all antique battles, it is not because of its importance, but rather because of the publicity it was given, and the detailed documentation that remains from both sides of the conflict.
Yet, upon his return, Ramesses couched the battle as a victory for Egypt, and unleashed an unprecedented propaganda campaign on the theme.
No less than thirteen monumental versions of the battle were carved on temples.

Talmudic thought is parallel to chess training in seven ways: the indispensability of study, memory, visual comprehension, the centrality and rigidity of law, the importance of debate, the need for bold intelligence, and an antiauthoritarian and original way of raising alternatives.
The Talmudic option for the learner is to be either a Sinai (erudite) or an Oker Harim (sharp).
Theirs was a powerful battle of ideas, clashing the famous 1908 London game, which was followed with extraordinary interest.

 Indiainfo.com -> Spotlight -> Lanka peace process -> LTTE is preparing for war, says Kumaratunga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Colombo: Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga on June 25 warned that rebel Tigers, who pulled out of peace talks in April, were preparing for war and that the security forces were ill-prepared to meet a threat to the Northern peninsula of Jaffna.
Kumaratunga, who is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, felt that the Tigers were ready for a repeat of the 1995 peace process with her when the rebels abruptly pulled out of negotiations and returned to war, the President's spokesman Harim Peiris said.
Peiris said the Tigers were behaving in the same way they did just before a previous peace process with Kumaratunga ended up in failure and led to more fighting in April 1995.

Under the impression that we could match their might, we took up battle positions; but their strength was so awesome that we could not oppose them, and so in disarray we re-entered Antioch.
Thus arrayed in battle formation and protected by the sign of the Cross, the crusaders began to march out of Antioch by the gate which is before La Mahomerie.
This battle was fought on the twenty-eighth of June, the vigil of the Apostles Peter and Paul, in the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom is the honor and glory throughout eternity.

Agnes, daughter of Joscelin II of Edessa, had lived in Jerusalem since the western regions of Edessa were lost in 1150.
Amalric could not follow up on his success in Egypt because Nur ad-Din was active in Syria, having taken Bohemund III of Antioch and Raymond III of Tripoli prisoner at the Battle of Harim during Amalric's absence.
After an indecisive battle, Amalric retreated to Cairo and Shirkuh took his troops to capture Alexandria; Amalric followed and besieged Shirkuh there, aided by a fleet from Jerusalem.

He made specific mention of the Eastern Province and said that in the case of a Joint Task Force (JTF) or an interim administration the Muslim people too should be included in such a set-up alluding also to the demand that a separate administration should be granted to the Muslims of the East.
However what the Athaullah faction of the SLMC must realise is that it is playing with fire because feelings can run high not merely in the East but also elsewhere as demonstrated by the scenes at Maligawatte on Wednesday.

He is a prophet who first appears in I Kings wherein we learn yet another sad tale of Hebrew backsliding into idolatry and their subsequent punishment by God.
Perhaps those Danes were influenced by the thought of Elijah's ravens for anciently and until the battle of Lyndanisse in 1219, the raven was the symbol of Denmark.
We just don't know why, from out of a long list of possible worthies — angels, prophets and saints — Elijah was chosen, but he was, in a tiny homage to the way in which God Himself chose Elijah to be the only prophet since Moses to be granted theophany.

century leader, the Chiddushei Harim, was but a little boy, he was already known throughout the world as a genius.
At the end of Megillat Esther, the verse states, "The Jews had light, happiness, joy, and honor." Our sages explain that "light" refers to Torah, "happiness" is Yom Tov (the Jewish holidays), "joy" is the mitzvah of brit milah, and "honor" refers to the mitzvah of tefillin.
It is the lesson that the Chiddushei Harim as a boy taught the layman; to see Hashem as a real entity all around us, especially in our private lives, and to make within ourselves a place where Hashem can dwell.

In 1156 he had to submit to a treaty which cut short his territories; in the winter of 1157-1158 he besieged and captured Harim, in the territory once belonging to Antioch: in 1158 he defeated Nureddin himself.
In the same year Baldwin married Theodora, a near relative of the East Roman emperor Manuel; while in 1159 he received a visit from Manuel himself at Antioch.
In the same year Baldwin had to undertake the regency in Antioch once more, Raynald of Chatillon, the second husband of Constance, being captured in battle.

With few exceptions during the Dynastic Period, the Egyptian custom was to wed junior Princesses to dignitaries of foreign houses to forge trade and military alliances and for Pharoah to receive foreign Princesses in marriage for the same reason.
Ramesses II is recorded to have followed this custom and as he fathered over fifty Princes and at least forty-five Princesses borne by his seven principle wives and women of the harim, the likelihood of a younger Princess by a secondary wife being married in such a way is quite plausible.
The battle which then ensues between these two Peoples as they assume their place upon the land, may thus also be interpreted as the 'battle' between two forms of lore and magick, the older and the younger.

It was in essence, in familial microcosm, the very battle that >Misnagdim, led by the Goan, were fighting against the very institution >of Chasidus.
You write that "Ger is started as an independent chasidus by R. Yitzchoq meier (the Chidushei haRim), a talmid-choveir of the Kotzke- who broke with the Chozeh (to follow the Yid and then R.S. Bunim) and should thus be assigned to the first half of the century." Sorry, old boy.
First of all, the Chiddushei HaRim basically took over the Kotzer's chasidim when the Kotzker died in 1858; when the Chiddushei HaRim died in 1867 or 1867, it was not at all settled that the Gerer chasidim would follow his grandson and oldest surviving male descendant, the Sfas Emes.
