Biography
He was a Turk who owed his success to his military talent. The Turkish people (Türk Halkı also known as " Turks " ( Türkler) are defined mainly as being speakers of Turkish as a First language [2] In 1098, when he heard that the Crusaders had besieged Antioch, he gathered his troops and marched to relieve the city. The Crusades were a series of military campaigns of a religious character waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal opponents For other uses please see Siege of Antioch (disambiguation The Siege of Antioch took place during the First Crusade in 1097 By the time he arrived, around June 5-9, the Crusaders had been in possession of the city since 3rd June. They were not able to restock the city before Kerbogha, in turn, was besieging the Crusaders in the city.
During the siege, Peter the Hermit was sent as emissary to Kerbogha by the Christian princes in the city, to suggest that the parties settle all differences by duel. Peter the Hermit (died July 8 1115 in Neufmoutier by Huy) was a priest of Amiens and a key figure during the First Crusade. Presumably feeling his position secure, Kerbogha did not see this course of action as being in his interest and he declined.
During the siege, inside the city, Peter Bartholomew claimed to have discovered the Holy Lance through a vision. Peter Bartholomew (died April 20[[ 099]] was a soldier and mystic from France who was part of the First Crusade. The Holy Lance (also known as the Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, Spear of Longinus or Spear of Christ) is the name This discovery re-energized the Christian army. At the same time, disagreements and infighting broke out within the Atabeg's army. On 28th June, when Bohemond, the leader of the Christian army decided to attack, Kerbogha was taken by surprise because the information he had received was of a weak, disorganized Christian army. Bohemond I (also spelled Bohemund or Boamund; c 1058&ndash 3 March 1111) Prince of Taranto and Prince of Antioch Instead, he found himself facing a motivated, unified Christian army while his own force was divided. He had to retreat, and returned to Mosul a broken man. For the village in Azerbaijan see Mosul Azerbaijan. Mosul (الموصل Al Mūṣul, Kurdish: Mosul/Ninawa, Musul
