  	Fought as a running battle, the Battle of Harran was a costly defeat for the Latin states of north Syria. In demonstrating beyond the Euphrates, Bohémond and Baldwin II were attempting to secure their borders and interrupt the lines of communication between Aleppo and Baghdad. Reversals were the result: the Turks were able to recover lost territory, including the town Artah; the Armenian Christians were emboldened; and the Greeks secured Latakia and Celicia. Joscelin de Courtenay and Baldwin II were also captured and subsequently held for ransom by the Turks. [3]
