Hazart was a fiefdom of the Crusaders in the 12th and 13th centuries, which first belonged to the county of Edessa and later to the principality of Antioch .
The center and namesake of the rule was today's city of Azaz , in the Aleppo Governorate in Syria , which the Crusaders called Hazart . The Crusaders built a castle on the ancient castle hill of Azaz . The citadel, which had previously been on that hill, collapsed in an earthquake on November 29, 1115.
The rule was established by Count Joscelin I of Edessa , who conquered Azaz in 1118. The city had previously submitted to the Atabeg Ilghazi of Aleppo , who could not lift the siege by the crusaders. In 1120 Hazart was besieged by Ilghazi, who withdrew again when a relief army commanded by Joscelin I approached. Another siege by the Seljuks in 1125 was lifted by the victory of the Crusaders in the Battle of Azaz . After Edessa had been conquered by the Syrian Seljuks in 1144/47, Hazart remained in Christian hands, but was now under the sovereignty of the Principality of Antioch. Hazart seems to have been occupied by the Ayyubids between 1188 and 1194 . The rule was conquered by the Mamluks under Sultan Baibars I at the latest in 1267 .
The following lords of Hazart have been handed down:
- Tankred of Hazart († after 1170)
- Peter I of Hazart († after 1195)
- William of Hazart († after 1219)
- Peter II of Hazart († after 1263)
