		Aside from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there were also three other major Crusader states on the mainland, the County of Edessa, the County of Tripoli, and the Principality of Antioch, which nominally bore some dependency on the Kingdom.
		The King of Jerusalem was bound to reconcile them in case of disputes (or between the Prince and Patriarich in Antioch), and could claim the regency in case of a vacancy or minority in their successions.
		Edessa was perhaps the most closely tied to the Kingdom, despite its distance; two of the first Counts later succeeded to the throne of Jerusalem, and the County was bestowed as a royal gift on Joscelin I.
