This unique study bridges the history of the Crusades with the
history of Armenian nationalism and Christianity. To the Crusaders,
Armenian Christians presented the only reliable allies in Anatolia
and Asia Minor, and were pivotal in the founding of the Crusader
principalities of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem and Tripoli. The
Anatolian kingdom of Cilicia was founded by the Roupenian dynasty
(mid 10th to late 11th century), and grew under the collective rule
of the Hetumian dynasty (late 12th to mid 14th century). After
confrontations with Byzantium, the Seljuks and the Mongols, the
Second Crusade led to the crowning of the first Cilician king
despite opposition from Byzantium. Following the Third Crusade,
power shifted in Cilicia to the Lusignans of Cyprus (mid to late
14th century), culminating in the final collapse of the kingdom at
the hands of the Egyptian Mamluks.
