    Which Crusader State For You?

    Here's a nice esoteric history question for the hard core buffs out there.

    Which old crusader state from medieval Outremer is the one for you?

    I picked the Kingdom of Jerusalem, just because.
    17
    The Kingdom of Jerusalem: sacred, strong and sought-after
    23.53%
    4
    The Principality of Antioch: rich, rich, rich and half-built on a mountain
    52.94%
    9
    The County of Tripoli: has-been runner-up but with lots of cool castles
    5.88%
    1
    The County of Edessa: sentimental and short-lived
    5.88%
    1
    The Principality of Galilee: submissive and second-string vassal
    5.88%
    1
    The Lesser Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia/Banana Republic/Other: for the eccentric die-hards
    5.88%

      Edessa... just a fan of the underdog I guess.
      Unbelievable!

        This ought to be an internet quiz.

          It is -- you are on the internet, answering my silly OT poll question.

                The Norman Conquest of England was sanctified by a Papal banner, and the Reconquista was also a Crusade.

                  Yep, and there were also crusades against heretics, such as the Albigensian Crusade.

                  But this thread is entirely devoted to the Crusader States established in Outremer.

                    edessa - there's something very appealing about that story.
