1st. CRUSADE:
"III. Baldwin II, Lord des Marets, received for his bravery in the Holy Land from the King of Jerusalem, in fief the city of "Rhosas," in Palestine which fact according to Le Carpentier's named genealogy caused his ancestral Arms to be augmented with four roses, or. These completed Arms, at least the shield, seem to have occurred on a medal which is mentioned in the Will of Baldwin's great-grandson, Baldwindes Marets, Lord of Sorick." Early Genealogical Records, pg. xviii,para. 1.
"Le Carpentier, in his work, "Histoire de Cambray," quotes the work of William, Archbishop of Tyre, folios 861, 896, and 900, so as to prove that this Baldwin des Marests, together with the Count of Edessa, Josselin de Courtenay, re-occupied the City of Edessa in 1142, taking it from Sultan Noradin, and that Baldwin fell against the Turks in1145."
Early Genealogical Records, pg. xviii, para. 2.
"Baldwin II, Lord des Marets, married with the daughter of EustaceGrener, Constable of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Lord of Sydon and ofCaesarea, in the Holy Land." Early Genealogical Records, pg.xviii, para. 4.

Notes:

"II. Baldwin I, Lord Des Marets, is mentioned among the nobles who took part in the Tournament of Anchin, in 1096, the original call-rol of which has been preserved. This tournament was preparatory to the First Crusade, and Baldwin took part in this crusade." pg. xvii,para. 3.

"... Anchin was a Convent situated on a small island in the rive rScarpe. Here Anselm, duke of Ribemont and Valenciennes, called together the chief nobles of his vicinity for a brilliant tournament, shortly after Peter of Amiens had preached the crusade. All participants in the tournament took solemn oath that they would go on the crusade. The document of this oath still exists..." pg. xvii,para. 4.

"The deeds in Palestine of further members of the des Marets family in Cambray and Cambesis have been described by William, Archbishop of Tyre, in Phoenicia, who lived in the time of the 2nd Crusade and who was an eyewitness to many happenings, ..." pg. xvii, para. 5.

"This work, after having existed in manuscript for many generations,was finally printed ... at Basel in 1549, ... A copy of this beautiful book is in the Royal Library at The Haque, Holland." pg.xvii, para. 6. (Next sentence) "It gives details about Baldwin II, des Marets, and his brother, Reginald, son-in-law of Josselin de Courtney, Count of Edessa." In Chapter XIV is described how Baldwindes Marets in a nightly expedition accompanied Josselin with his horsemen, and how they crossed the river before Edessa. After the recapture of Edessa (from Sultan Noradin) by the Christian army, Baldwin des Marets was in command of the forces which operated in Northern Palestine, on the western borders of the county of Edessa and the northern portions of the County of Antioch, mainly for the protection of the road used by the Crusaders on their way to Jerusalem(c.1142 A.D.). A station on that road was named "Maresia" for the commander. Maresia, however, was never a separate county of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Formerly the name of the place had been "Germanica Caesarea," so named for Ceaser Germanicus. In the mouth ofthe Turks, "Maresia" has become "Marash." pg. xvii, para. 8.

"JERUSALEM, LATIN KINGDOM OF,medieval Christian state comprising whatis now Israel, as well as parts of Jordan and Lebanon, with itscapital at Jerusalem. Established at the time of the First Crusade in1099, it lasted until 1291. When Jerusalem was taken from the Muslims,on July 15, 1099, it became necessary for the Christian conquerors toestablish some permanent rule for the Holy City and for such otherconquests as Antioch (now Antakya, Turkey) and Edessa (now Urfa,Turkey). They adopted the feudal system of government, the only systemthey knew well. The French nobleman Godfrey of Bouillon, one of theleaders of the Crusade, was chosen to govern the kingdom as baron anddefender of the Holy Sepulcher. The succession thereafter was notelective but hereditary. When Godfrey died, in 1100, he was succeededby his brother, Baldwin I, who took the title of king and ruled until1118. He in turn was succeeded by his cousin, Baldwin II, who wasfollowed by his son-in-law, Fulk V the Young, count of Anjou(1092?1143). Under Fulk the kingdom reached the highest point in itsdevelopment; most of Syria was then also in the hands of theChristians. In 1187 Muslim forces under Sultan Saladin reconquered thecity of Jerusalem, but the Latin Kingdom persisted. The Crusadersregained the city in 1228 under Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, whowas crowned king of Jerusalem the following year. The Muslims retookJerusalem in 1244 in the first of a series of victories for Islam thatfinally, with the reconquest of Acre in 1291, brought the LatinKingdom to an end."
