About Joscelin II
Joscelin II or Joscelyn II, sometimes known as Joscelin the Younger and Joscelin of Courtenay was the fourth and last ruling count of Edessa. He succeeded his father, Joscelin I, after the latter died from wounds sustained in battle. He initially supported Princess Alice of Antioch for the regency over her daughter, Constance, as part of his opposition to King Fulk of Jerusalem. Relations with Fulk were restored after Joscelin's allies were defeated at Chastel Rouge. Joscelin and Fulk won the Battle of Qinnasrin in 1133, and Joscelin competed with the Zengids in the early 1130s.
