Baldwin III, King of Jerusalemb. 1130; d. 1163Succeeded his father, Fulk of Anjou, in 1143. Under his reign the Christians lost Edessa, taken in 1144 by Zengi, Turkish Prince of Aleppo and father of the famous Nur-ad-Din (Nureddin). Baldwin was forced to struggle during the greater part of his reign with the power and abilities of Nur-ad-Din. Louis VII of France and Conrad III, Emperor of Germany, joined Baldwin's forces in an attempt upon Damascus, in which they failed (1148). In his reign the Christian kings began to lose power in the East. He was succeeded by his brother, Amalric, who died in 1174.
