The formerly known Cursat Castle was first mentioned of in 1133, when taken by Fulk, King of Jerusalem. By 1155, the castle came into the possession of the Latin Patriarch of Antioch, Aimery of Limoges, who used the castle as a sanctuary for himself and his treasures, to be known as 'Castrum Patriarchae' (Patriarch's Castle). In 1180, Aimery excommunicated the Prince of Antioch Bohemond III, following the orders of Pope Alexander III, for matters in his private life. Bohemond III who was angered by that decision, besieged Cursat until King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem intervened.
