  Kingdom of Jerusalem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During Baldwin's reign the Kingdom began to collapse internally, as factions formed behind Baldwin's cousin, Count Raymond III of Tripoli, who led the "nobles' party" of native barons, and Baldwin's incompetent brother-in-law, Guy of Lusignan, who led the "court party", backed by the royal family and relative newcomers to the kingdom.
A Fourth Crusade was planned after the failure of the Third, but it resulted in the sack of Constantinople in 1204 and the Crusaders involved never arrived in the Kingdom.

Crusader was released about a year prior to Vikings, and it is readily apparent that with Vikings the developers polished and refined some of the sound basic materials present here.

 Ibelin - Wikipedia
Ibelin was a castle in the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century, which gave its name to an important family of nobles.
The crusader castle was built in 1141 between Jaffa and Ascalon, near Montgisard and Ramla.
When the Kingdom of Cyprus was destroyed in the 15th century, the Ibelins apparently also lost their lands and positions (and the family possibly went extinct) — the sources, at least, no longer mention them.

 saladin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
While Saladin was consolidating his power in Syria, he generally left the Crusader kingdom— the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem— alone, although he was usually victorious whenever he did meet the Crusaders in battle.
One exception was the Battle of Montgisard in 1177, although he soon recovered and defeated the Crusaders at the Ford of Jacob's Daughters in 1179.
In July of 1187, Saladin invaded the Kingdom of Jerusalem and annihilated the Crusader army at the Battle of Hattin, a major disaster for the Crusaders and a turning point in the history of the Crusades.

Although the army that the crusaders assembled at Nicaea in 1097 was very large by the standards of the time, crippling losses sustained during the long summer march across Anatolia and at the battle of Dorylaeum, left them with not more than 25,000 men to attack mighty Antioch.
Architecturally, the crusader castles were an extension of the architectural concepts of 12th and 13th century France,—the Franco-Burgundian genius that was giving the world Mont St. Michel, Chartres and Rheims.
When the crusaders arrived in the Levant at the end of the 11th century, fortification was neither elaborate nor subtle.

 DragonBear History: All That: Crusades
The Crusade was divided against itself from the beginning: Philip and Richard were enemies (or at best, rivals) back home; and the crusader kingdom - what was left of it - was torn between rival factions, one faction looking to Philip for support and the other to Richard.
Of the realms of Outremer, the foremost was of course the Kingdom of Jerusalem (later the Kingdom of Acre).
The affairs of the kingdom were mostly run by the High Court, a council made up of the ranking peers of the realm, clergy of the major cities, and officers of the kingdom (the constable, the seneschal, etc.).

 Battle of Hattin, 4 July 1187
The battle of Hattin was the greatest disaster to befall the crusader states, and saw the destruction of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
However, to maintain their numbers they needed to attract new crusaders from the west, and these new crusaders were much less willing to live peacefully with the infidels that they had come to fight.
In normal circumstances this move would have been a mistake for Saladin, as the crusader army was quite close to his in numbers, and would have been able to punch a hole in the weakened Muslim cordon, but after a day and a night without water the crusader army had lost much of it's cohesion.

During the crusade the dispute between the metropolitans of Toledo and of Tarragona -- respectively Roderick Simon of Rada and Peter of Albalat -- smoldered warmly.

He was active in the crusade, assisted at provincial councils, presided over the sudden expansion of his diocese into Valencia, and reorganized the canonical regime at his cathedral.

The Crusades are generally thought of as a series of Wars between the forces of Christianity and Islam in the levant---Byzantine territories and parts of Greece, the middle East, and Egypt---beginning with the First Crusade in 1096, and brought to a conclusion by the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453.
Crusade histories and numismatic texts focus on this era and region as if holy wars were unique to that time and place.
Recent scholarship on the crusades has expanded the definition to include holy wars approved by the Pope as political-religious conflicts between Christian forces and a region which was not Christian (or was suffering from some loathsome heresy) which was to be brought under the control of the faithful by force of arms.

The wreckage of his crusade that year by storm at sea, and the emotional storms of romantic love and shame (played out to the comment of troubadour and pope), constitute together one of the best-known episodes of the king's career.
The king appoints Ramon de Montcada for life "in the office of majordomo of the kingdom of Valencia" to serve whenever the king is in that kingdom, the actual work to be done by a sub-appointee of Montcada's choice (602).
In this case the king was closing a tower bordering the Jewish cemetery and the castle at Játiva, to restrict the range of the stones (820).

Crusader states can also include the lands of the Teutonic and Livonian Knights in the Baltic, which lasted until Prussia was secularized in 1525 and the last Grand Master of the Livonian Knights was made Duke of Courland by Poland in 1561.
The Kingdom of Jerusalem included three significant feudal dependencies: the County of Edessa (1098-1144), the Principality of Antioch (1098-1268), and the County of Tripoli (1109-1289).
To be sure, the Crusaders in the 12th century displayed a great deal more brutality than the armies of the Caliph 'Umar had in the 7th, with Jews and even Christians as well as Moslems falling in the occasional indiscriminate slaughters; but they also came from what was actually a much more barbarous place.
