They were eventually absorbed into the Turkmen federation of the "Black Sheep". Hosam ed din Yuluq Arslan, nicknamed the "Bald Lion", distinguished himself alongside Saladin during the battle of Hattin (1187), a severe defeat inflicted on the Crusaders which led to the fall of Jerusalem after eighty years of Latin occupation.
