Already in 1120 Fulk had visited the See also:Holy See also:Land, and become a See also:close friend of the See also:Templars. On his return he assigned to the. See also:- ORDER

order of the Templars an See also:annual See also:subsidy, while he also maintained two knights in the Holy Land for a See also:year. In 1128 he was preparing to return to the See also:East, when he received an See also:embassy from See also:Baldwin II., king of Jerusalem, who had no male See also:heir to succeed him, offering his daughter Melisinda in See also:marriage, with the right of eventual See also:succession to the See also:kingdom. Fulk readily accepted the offer; and in 1129 he came and was married to Melisinda, receiving the towns of
See also:Acre and See also:Tyre as her See also:dower. In 1131, at the See also:age of See also:thirty-nine, he became king of Jerusalem. His reign is not marked by any considerable events: the kingdom which had reached its See also:zenith under Baldwin II., and did not begin to decline till the See also:capture of See also:Edessa in the reign of Baldwin III., was quietly prosperous under his See also:rule. In the beginning of his reign he had to See also:act as See also:regent of See also:Antioch, and to provide a husband, See also:Raymund of See also:Poitou, for the See also:infant heiress See also:Constance. But the See also:great problem with which he had to See also:deal was the progress of the atabeg Zengi of See also:Mosul. In 1137 he was beaten near Barin, and escaping into the fort was surrounded and forced to capitulate. A little later, however, he greatly improved his position by strengthening his See also:alliance with the See also:vizier of See also:Damascus, who also had to fear the progress of Zengi (114o); and in this way he was able to capture the fort of Banias, to the N. of See also:Lake See also:Tiberias. Fulk also strengthened the kingdom on the See also:south; while his See also:- BUTLER

W. to overawe the See also:garrison of See also:Ascalon, which was still held by the Mahommedans, and to clear the road towards See also:Egypt. Twice in Fulk's reign the eastern See also:emperor, See also:John See also:Comnenus, appeared in See also:northern See also:Syria (1137 and 1142); but his coming did not affect the king, who was able to decline politely a visit which the emperor proposed to make to Jerusalem. In 1143 he died, leaving two sons, who both became See also:kings, as Baldwin III,
and See also:Amalric I.
Fulk continued the tradition of See also:good statesmanship and
See also:sound churchmanship which Baldwin I. and Baldwin II. had begun. See also:- WILLIAM

Little, perhaps, need be made of these censures: the real See also:fault of Fulk was his neglect to envisage the needs of the northern principalities, and to See also:head a combined resistance to the rising See also:power of Zengi of
Mosul.
His reign in Jerusalem is narrated by R. Rohricht (Geschichte See also:des Konigreichs Jerusalem, See also:Innsbruck, 1898), and has been made the subject of a monograph by G. Dodu (De Fulconis Hierosolymitani regno, See also:Paris, 1894). (E.
