isis and al qaeda before it was cool
Rightful byzantine clay
Great, now I have the urge to spend dozens of hours playing Knights of Honor 2.
Considering the other post you just posted and this one, Are you trying to ragebait people today, OP?
Little Tripoli so cute 🥰
And they all lived happily ever after..
Quite embarrassing that an alliance of the entire Christian word achieved such feeble territorial gains in a war against one country. Makes Putin look good by comparison.
I have a denier from the principality of Antioch. Minted under bohemond III or IV. Somewhere between 1163 – 1233.
Very tiny amount of silver only 0.66 grams

How many Tripolis are there in the world
Calling the County of Edessa a Catholic state is a strong exaggeration, given that the majority of the county’s population were Armenians (Oriental Orthodox) and Assyrians (Nestorian).
Having read about these recently, I just find them funny.
Odessa was essentially set up to keep Antioch alive.
Antioch was basically founded to keep Tripoli alive.
And Tripoli was basically founded to keep Jerusalem alive.
Then came the mamluks to send them back to Europe 🔥
Crazy to think this timeframe is only about 70 years after Hastings. Basically a single lifetime of difference chronologically
Edessa: „Can I have some coastline?“
Antioch: „No.“
Biggest mistake. Not focusing on conquering Egypt first. That allowed the ayubids and mamlukes to generate loads of wealth/people/food to easily launch attacks
Yes but was they referring themselves Palestinians? 💀👀 No? Damn!
R.I.P cool places.
Promised to Italy 900 years ago
Why did they want to control so far north? Did they consider all that area the holy land? Or was it strategically important to holding more of Palestine/Judea? Or did they just take it because they could?
Turks stopped both the Mongols and the Crusaders. They even managed to keep the Zionists away for decades until their empire collapsed. If it wasn’t for the Turks, the entire Middle East would be different starting from a thousand years ago.
