Talk:Crusader invasions of Egypt

Nice start, but...
This is a pretty good topic for an article, but it needs a lot of work. Some things that jump out at me: Zengi had nothing to do with Egypt, he died in 1145; the maps are kind of pointless, 90% is wasted space and everything is crammed into a corner...

Hopefully I can find the time to add to this. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I like the maps, even thought they do waste some space they are useful. Most people dont realize how close Crusader victory in Egypt was. Tourskin (talk) 02:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Michael Fulton's book
I haven't had a chance to do any work on this article (I see I made the same comment 16 years ago as well, haha), but there is a recent book by Michael Fulton that would be very useful:

Michael S. Fulton, Contest for Egypt: The Collapse of the Fatimid Caliphate, the Ebb of Crusader Influence, and the Rise of Saladin (Brill, 2022)
