The Frankish rulers of the Levant: Power and succession, c. 1100-74

Two of the most important issues for the rulers of the Latin States to confront were the establishment of their dynastic line and the maintenance of their authority over the nobility. These problems were familiar to other contemporary rulers, but the turbulent military situation in the Latin East and the settlers’ position as a minority of the Levantine population added significant pressures to the equation. The need to integrate newcomers (and their entourages) to the political life of the Frankish East was a further challenge. Most of the evidence concerning succession and authority pertains to the royal house of Jerusalem, but reference will be made to the circumstances in Antioch, Tripoli and Edessa as well.
