| Abstract | The vast majority of scholarship on the Latin East has been focused on the kingdom of Jerusalem. This session, however, is devoted to the study of two largely neglected crusaders states. It will demonstrate how new research on the principality of Antioch and the county of Tripoli can enhance our overall knowledge of the Latin East. The first paper analyses and contextualises the formation of the county of Tripoli; the second paper reassesses the intervention of Manuel Comnenus in Antiochene politics in 1158-1159; the third paper examines the legal aspect of the Antiochene succession dispute in the early 13th century. |
