Maraclea and Nephin were seigneuries in the earldom of Tripoli, one of the Middle Eastern crusader states founded in the course of the 1 st Crusade (10961099). This book examines genealogical relationships and, for the first time, investigates the history of these seigneuries in detail, their relationship to the feudal lords and the Johanniter Order, and their involvement in noble rebellions until the transition to service for the King of Sicily.
