Imad ad-Din Zengi laid siege to Edessa in late November 1144. Along with Manasses of Hierges and Philip of Milly, Eliland was appointed by Melisende to lead a relieve army to the town. They did not reach Edessa, because its defenders surrendered before the end of the year. Barber proposes that they most probably went to Antioch and participated in Raymond of Antioch's unsuccessful counter-offensive in early 1145.
