		The period between the Memluk takeover in 1260 and the invasion of Tamurlane in 1400 was one of a relative prosperity to Damascus.

	History - Review - Damascus: A Brief History
		The history of Damascus in particular is remarkable and that is the main reason for which I opted for posting this information, as opposed to omitting it altogether.
		But in 333 BC, Damascus was to come under western control for the very first time in its history when the armies of Alexander the Great swept through the near East, capturing the city (amongst other conquests) and marking the start of a "classical" civilisation, which was to last until 630 AD.
		Christianity was introduced to Damascus and the whole of Syria during this period and it was not long before it became an important centre of Christianity.

	Crusader assault on Antioch
		When, Yaghi Siyan, the Emir of Antioch (that is, prince and lord) saw how heavily he was besieged by us, he sent his son, Shams ad-Daula by name, to ask for the help of Prince Ridwan of Aleppo and Prince Duqaq of Damascus.
		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.

		Battles with Duqaq force Tancred's men away from the region east of the river Jordan, which becomes the de facto border.

		Tutush's sons Radwan and Duqaq inherited Aleppo and Damascus respectively, further dividing Syria amongst emirs antagonistic towards each other, as well as towards Kerbogha, the atabeg of Mosul.
		These states were on the whole more concerned with consolidating their own territories and gaining control of their neighbours, than with cooperating against the crusaders.
		They arrived in October, 1097 and set it to a siege which lasted almost 8 months, during which time they also had to defeat two large relief armies under Duqaq of Damascus and Ridwan of Aleppo.

		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.
