County of Tripoli(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The beginnings of the County came in 1102, when Count Raymond IV of Toulouse, one of the leaders of the First Crusade, began a lengthy war with the Banu Ammar Emirs of Tripoli (theoretically vassals of the Fatimid caliphs in Cairo), gradually seizing much of their territory and besieging them within Tripoli itself.
After Bohemund III's death in 1201, the County was in personal union with Antioch for all but three years (1216-1219) until Antioch's own fall to the Mamelukes in 1268.
The death of the unpopular Count Bohemund VIIinin 1287 led to a dispute between his heir, his sister Lucia, and the city's commune, which put itself under the protection of the Genoese.
Antioch(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Antioch was destined to rival Alexandria in Egypt as the chief city of the nearer East and to be the cradle of gentile Christianity.
Antioch became the capital and court-city of the western Seleucid empire under Antiochus I, its counterpart in the east being Seleucia-on-Tigris; but its paramount importance dates from the battle of Ancyra (240 BC), which shifted the Seleucid centre of gravity from Asia Minor, and led indirectly to the rise of Pergamum.
Antioch gave its name to a certain school of Christian thought, distinguished by literal interpretation of the Scriptures and insistence on the human limitations of Jesus.

After the destruction of the port city of Tripoli in 1289 by the army of Qalaun, the Sultan decided to build a new city inland at the foot of "Pilgrims Mountain" where a Crusader bourg had developed over the years, around the castle of Saint-GilIes.
In rebuilding the fallen church BohemundIV, prince of Antioch and fifth count of Tripoli, probably took into his service Italian architects who gave the structure its "Lombard" tower.
Although this quarter was set ablaze by orders of Qalaun the tower did not collapse and was turned into a minaret and incorporated in the Grand Mosque.
