Why was Emir kerbogha of mosul such a feared enemy of the crusades?
Emir was such a feared enemy of the crusades because he had approx 75,000 men in his army which was way more powerful than the crusades army, and Emir was also trying to capture the Antioch. His army was also more equipped with weapons and food and could break through the walls of Antioch and also if the crusades were stuck inside the castle they would run out of food. If they tried to escape Emir's army would kill them and take the chance to enter and attack the crusades.
