 Duqaq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This new alliance was sealed with a marriage between Radwan and Yaghi-Siyan's daughter.
Over the winter of 1097-1098, Antioch was besieged by the Crusaders, and Yaghi-Siyan and his son Shams ad-Dawla sought help from Duqaq.
Duqaq died on June 8 of that year.

 Crusader assault on Antioch
Duqaq had left Damascus earlier that month accompanied by his atabeg, Tughtigin, and Janah-ad-Dauluh of Homs.
Both sides were taken by surprise and, although the crusaders were driven from the field, they inflicted enough damage on the Duqaq's forces to convince him to return to Damascus.
We were thus left in the direst need, for the Turks were harrying us on every side, so that none of our men dared to go outside the encampment.

Battles with Duqaq force Tancred's men away from the region east of the river Jordan, which becomes the de facto border.
The death of Duqaq of Damascus in 1104 [2] leads to a succession crisis in the east, giving the Christians just enough time to get their house in order.
Tancred doesn't overstep the mark as regent, and refuses to be acknowledged as Defender of the Holy Sepulchre, instead remaining Prince of Galilee and 'servant of God'.

With Duqaq’s forces defeated more Crusader forces poured into Antioch and slaughtered the defenders, the city proceeded to be sacked.
Also word from the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I who offered congratulations and a warning that Duqaq of Damascus with a horde of other Seljuk allies (he was finally able to convince Kerbogha lord of Mosul to lend some support in destroying these invaders) had marched south with a sizeable army to eradicate the Crusaders.
First Duqaq’s successor, his son Tutush II, was only a child and his atabeg, Toghtegin who seized power when Duqaq fell, signed over section of territory held by the Emir of Damascus which basically doubled the current size of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

With the gate shut in front of them, the Normans were butchered by the Turks while the Franks watched from atop the battlements.
The muslim potentates who opposed the Crusaders, Yaghi-Siyan of Antioch, Duqaq of Damascus and Ridvan of Aleppo, were all quite able to fight together in face of this new threat.
If I remember correctly, Duqaq's army was even annhiliated by a mere foraging party led by Bohemond, IMO the greatest general of the Crusade I might add.

 Orontes, battle of the, 28 June 1098 (First Crusade)
Korboga attempted the traditional Turkish tactic of retreating before the enemy, forcing them to advance through a hail of arrows, but the battlefield was too tight for that tactic to work, and the crusaders were able to engage the Turkish army in a melee, where the crusaders were at an advantage.
Seeing the battle going badly, Kerboga's allies, led by Duqaq, emir of Damascus, began to desert him, until all of his allies were gone, at which point Kerboga also fled.
The crusaders followed up, and inflicted very heavy casualties on the fleeing army, while many more were killed by the local population.

 Book Review: The Crusades Through Arab Eyes
Maalouf begins with Ibn Al-Qalanisi, the young Damascene scholar who observed the Frankish armies as they advanced through Palestine in 1096.
Only 23 at the time, he lived to the age of 87, and as a city official was a longstanding witness to the fratricidal hatred of Radwan and Duqaq in Syria, the sectarian struggles of the petty Arab princes, and the military impotence of Baghdad.
Many of the other sources of Maalouf's story are close to the principal characters on the Arab side: Usama Ibn Mundiqh, an emir and adviser to the great soldier-statesman Zangi; Abul Fida', the governor of Hama; Ibn Shaddad, an advisor to Saladin, as was 'Imad Ad-Din Al-Isfanhani, and Abduzahir, a secretary to two sultans.

I've also seen the genesis of the "play with five city sections or you suck" philosophy, though that would have happened with or without Duqaq, to be fair.
