Hugh , Count of Champagne Hugh ( 1074 – 1125 ) was the Count of Champagne from 1093 until his death . Life . Hugh was the third son of Theobald III , Count of Blois , bearing the title Count of Bar - sur - Aube . His older brother Odo V , Count of Troyes , died in 1093 , leaving him master of Troyes , where he centred his court , and Vitry - le - François . In this way the three contiguous countships that formed the core of an emerging Champagne were united in his person , and though he preferred " Count of Troyes " , the oldest of his lordships and site of the only bishopric in his domains , his descendants chose to use only the title of Count of Champagne . His first recorded act , a monastic gift in 1094 , became the oldest document of the comital archive . The act of his that resonated longest in history was his grant of lands in 1115 to the monk Bernard of the reformed Benedictines at Cîteaux — the Cistercians — in order to found Clairvaux Abbey , a Cistercian monastery at Clairvaux ( in the present Ville - sous - la - Ferté ) , in a wild valley of a tributary of the Aube , where Bernard was appointed abbot and became famous as Bernard of Clairvaux . Hugh ' s charter makes over to the new foundation Clairvaux and its dependencies , fields , meadows , vineyards , woods and water . A deeply affectionate letter from Bernard to Hugh survives , written in 1125 , as Hugh went off for a third time to fight in the Holy Land , joining the Knights Templar , leaving his pregnant wife , and disinheriting his son Eudes I – Hugh believed himself impotent and never acknowledged his son . Instead , he transferred his titles to his nephew , who became Theobald II of Champagne . Eudes I two sons , Eudes II of Champlitte and William of Champlitte were important figures in the fourth crusade . When Hugh became a Knight Templar himself in 1124 , the Order comprised few more than a dozen knights , and the first Grand Master of the Templars was a vassal of his , Hugues de Payens , who had been with him at Jerusalem in 1104 . Hugh was also the generous patron of the abbeys of Moustier - Ramey and of Molesme , at his castle of Isle - Aumont , south of Troyes . In a surviving letter to him from Yves of Chartres ( Letter CCCXLV ) , the Bishop of Chartres reminds him of his obligations of marriage , perhaps to deter him from making vows of continence .

Battle of Qarqar The Battle of Qarqar ( or Ḳarḳar ) was fought in 853 BC when the army of Assyria led by king Shalmaneser III encountered an allied army of twelve kings at Qarqar led by Hadadezer ( also called Adad - idr and possibly to be identified with Benhadad II ) of Damascus and King Ahab of Israel . This battle , fought during the 854 BC - 846 BC Assyrian Conquest of Syria , is notable for having a larger number of combatants than any previous battle , and for being the first instance in which some peoples enter recorded history ( such as the Arabs ) . The battle is recorded on the Kurkh Monolith . The ancient town of Qarqar at which the battle took place has generally been identified with the modern - day archaeological site of Tell Qarqur near the village of Qarqur . According to an inscription later erected by Shalmaneser , he had started his annual campaign , leaving Nineveh on the 14th day of Iyar . He crossed both the Tigris and Euphrates without incident , receiving the submission and tribute of several cities along the way , including Aleppo . Once past Aleppo he encountered his first resistance from troops of Iruleni , king of Hamath , whom he defeated ; in retribution , he plundered both the palaces and the cities of Iruleni ' s kingdom . Continuing his march after having sacked Qarqar , he encountered the allied forces near the Orontes River . The Twelve Kings . Twelve Kings is an Akkadian term meant to symbolize any kind of alliance . The most famous example is in the Kurkh Monolith , where an alliance of 11 kings are listed as 12 in the Assyrian document as fighting against Assyrian King Shalmaneser III in the battle of Qarqar . Shalmaneser ' s inscription describes the forces of his opponent Hadadezer in considerable detail as follows : Battle . Shalmaneser boasts that his troops inflicted 14 , 000 casualties upon the allied army , capturing countless chariots and horses , and describes the damage he inflicted on his opponents in savage detail . However , the royal inscriptions from this period are notoriously unreliable . They never directly acknowledge defeats and sometimes claim victories that were actually won by ancestors or predecessors . If Shalmaneser had won a clear victory at Qarqar , it did not immediately lead to further Assyrian conquests in Syria . Assyrian records make it clear that he campaigned in the region several more times in the following decade , engaging Hadadezer six times , who was supported by Iruleni of Hamath at least twice . Shalmaneser ' s opponents held on to their thrones after this battle : though Ahab of Israel died shortly afterwards in an unrelated battle , Hadadezer was king of Damascus until at least 841 BC .
