Battle of Mosul (731)
The Battle of Mosul was a battle that took place during the Second Khazar-Arab War between the armies of the Khazar Khaganate, led by the khagan's son Barjik, and the Umayyad Caliphate, whose commanding general may have been Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik. After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Marj Ardebil, the Arabs made a last-ditch stand outside Mosul to halt the Khazar incursion into Iraq, which threatened the Umayyad capital at Damascus.
