Kerak is a crusader castle begun in the 1140s under Pagan the Butler, Lord of Transjordan. It was the centre of power for Transjordan and was subsequently ruled by the crusader Renaud de Chatillon, the Ayyubids, Mamluks and Ottomans. It is a spur castle with walls protected by projecting towers and its glacis providing extra defense against the enemy.
