Consolidation in the first half of the 12th-century established four crusader states:/The County of Edessa (1098–1149)/The Principality of Antioch (1098–1268)/The Kingdom of Jerusalem, founded in 1099, lasted until 1291, when the city of Acre fell./The County of Tripoli (1104–1289, although the city of Tripoli itself remained in Muslim control until 1109) Seems like citation for all might be on the Tripoli one, if so please add it to the end of all of them and the end of the colon before the list.

Thanks for cutting me some slack @Iazyges:, but I checked the citation and it was in fact only for Tripoli. Now added for the other states as well. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 09:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
