- June 24th : Konrad III. and King Louis VII of France, the leaders of the Second Crusade , meet after a few defeats against the Seljuks in Acre and hold together with King Baldwin III. held a council from Jerusalem to discuss how to proceed. After a controversial discussion, the crusaders agree to besiege Damascus . The city is actually neutral towards the crusaders and an enemy only ad-dins and even pays tribute to the crusaders. However, it also appears to be a worthwhile destination as it is wealthy and nearby and does not have an overly strong military. Damascus is also strategically interesting, as conquering it would cut off the Muslim empires of Syria from those in Egypt.
- July 23 : In the Second Crusade , the siege of Damascus begins by the united armies of the Kings Baldwin III. , Conrad III. and Louis VII. The vizier Unur , who ruled there on behalf of the still underage Emir Mujir ad-Din Abaq , sends a messenger to Aleppo to ask Nur ad-Din for help.
- July 28 : The crusaders break off the siege of Damascus on the fifth day after it is learned that Nur ad-Din is approaching with an army. The disagreement between the three Christian kings about the progress of the Second Crusade lays the seed for its subsequent failure. Conrad III. moves with his troops to Ascalon , but without the help of the quarreling allies his German contingent is not able to besiege the city. He returns to Constantinople in September and allies himself there with the Byzantine emperor.
