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 was son of his predecessor, Joscelin I, and Beatrice, daughter of Constantine I of Armenia. Joscelin succeeded his father, Joscelin I, after the latter died from wounds sustained in battle. He initially supported Alice for the regency over her daughter, Constance of Antioch, as part of his opposition to Fulk, King of Jerusalem. Functional relations 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.
