The Muslims captured the castle in 1118 only to lose it in the campaign of Baldwin II that resulted in capture of the entire Yarmouk valley. Nur ad-Din besieged Cave de Sueth in 1158, but retreated with the approach of Baldwin III.[6] In 1182 the castle was captured by Farrukh Shah, the nephew of Saladin, only to return to Frankish control later that year,[7] where it remained until shortly before the conquests of Saladin in 1187.
