He combined forces with Raymond III Count of Tripoli, Konstantinos Kalamános, and Bohémond III Prince of Antioch to repel the attack by Nur ed-Din on the castle of Krak in Sep 1163. Joined the same group in Aug 1164 to relieve another attack on Harenc, but was captured in an ambush at Artah, together with the other leaders, and taken bound to Aleppo and never regained his freedom.
