Full Description
First published in 2006. The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was the great lost realm of chivalry. Created by leaders of the First Crusade at the start of the 12th Century, it was a feudal state comprised of Antioch, Edessa, Tripoli, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Ashqelon Krak, Montreal, Sidin and Galilee that lasted for two hundred years, surrounded by the Muslims of Palestine and Syria. This classic volume presents a picture of the curious social conditions which resulted from the establishment of a feudal society amid Oriental surroundings and traces a growth of civilization and prosperity during the two centuries of Latin rule.
