[edit] Longest Frankish rule? I think not people, time to take out your calculators

To suggest that any of the Holy Land states lasted the longest of all Frankish conquests is folly indeed. Look to the West and you will see the Kingdom of Cyprus alive from 1192 to 1489, thats 297 years people. Better still look at the Duchy of Athens 1204 to 1456, thats 252 years. Or the Duchy of Nazos, the Principality of Acheae. What worries me the most is that there is actually a references saying otherwise. Tourskin (talk) 08:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I added Tyerman's quote. He evidently means Frankish conquests in the Levant. PHG (talk) 08:23, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
