The Ghassanids were a collection of Christian tribes from Southern [[Arabia]] which emigrated in the [[3rd Century]] C.E to Southern [[Syria]] and [[Jordan]]. In this area they intermarried and intermingled with the local [[Helleni]]c population and the imported [[Roman]] population. The Ghassanids acted as [[East-Roman]] and later [[Byzantine]] proxies in their incessant [[border]] warfare with the [[Sassanid]] empire. This border warfare caused trade to be redirected through the relatively untouched deserts of Northern Arabia, which made it easy prey for the [[nomadic]] and semi-urban Arab civilization which languished in this area in the 3rd through [[6th centuries]] C.E. The Ghassanids sometimes clashed with their Byzantine masters, as they had long ago accepted the [[orthodoxy]] of the [[monophysite]] creed of the [[Miaphysite]] or [[Jacobite]] [[Christians]], which was strictly [[heretical]] to the ultra [[religious]] [[Byzantine]] authorities. The Ghassanids briefly controlled a [[kingdom]] in the late [[5th century]] which was promptly swallowed in the wave of Arab conquests. A large proportion of the Ghassanids defected to the [[Umma]] of [[Omar]] following the [[Battle of Yarmuk]] in 636.
