Timeline

1. c. 1100–1187Jerusalem · PalestineThe Crusader states transplanted Western European feudal fiefdoms and ecclesiastical jurisdiction; the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller held fortresses and finances, while trading posts of the Italian maritime republics sustained supplies and trade.
2. 1191–1271Acre · LevantAfter Saladin recovered Jerusalem, the Latin polities contracted to coastal fortresses, with Acre becoming the political and military center; in the 13th century the states depended on Western reinforcements and the military orders for defense, but their territory continued to shrink.
3. 1271–1291Levantine coast · LevantSultans Baybars and Qalawun successively captured strongholds such as Antioch and Tripoli; between 1271 and 1280 only a few fortresses such as Acre remained in the Latin East; in 1291 the Mamluks captured Acre, and the remnants of the Crusader states came to an end on the Levantine mainland.
