The kingdom flourished in the middle of the third millennium BC and controlled the middle Khabur valley.[2] It was ruled by its own monarch who was a vassal of Ebla,[3] and fought against the kingdom of Mari.[4] The king of Haddu declared to Mari's ambassador that he "I and Ebla have a pact of peace. And the oath of the pact is before Kura (the main Eblaite god) and before Hadda".[5]
