On the plain of Nehauend, Alroy met the hastily-raised levies of the Atabek of Kermanshah, and entirely routed them. In the course of a month, every city of the province had acknowledged the supremacy of the new Hebrew monarch, and, leaving Abner to complete the conquest of Louristan, Alroy entered Persia.
Meanwhile Imad-ed-din Zangi, the Atabek or Sultan of Mosul on the Tigris, extended his arms over all Mesopotamia and Northern Syria, and in 1144 he conquered the Latin principality of Edessa. The whole of Europe was shocked at the disaster. Pope Eugenius delegated to Bernard the task of preaching a new crusade.
Each day some warlike Atabek, at the head of his armed train, poured into the capital of the caliphs, or pitched his pavilion on the banks of the river; each day the proud emir of some remote principality astonished or affrighted the luxurious Babylonians by the strange or uncouth warriors that had gathered round his standard in the deserts of Arabia, or on the shores of the Euxine.
One asking alms with a wire run through his cheek. Not uncommon. One hundred thousand warriors were now assembled. In countries where the whole population is armed, a vast military force is soon assembled. Some high-capped Tatar with despatches. Each day some warlike Atabek, at the head of his armed train, poured into the capital of the caliphs. It is the Sabbath etc.
