- The Battle of Antioch is also the name of a major event in the fictional StarCraft universe.
In 1260 Baibars, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria, began to threaten the crusader state of Antioch, which (as a vassal of the Armenians) had supported the Mongols, the traditional enemies of the Turks. In 1268 Baibars besieged the city of Antioch, capturing it on 18 May. He razed the city and killed or enslaved the population.
