Source details Reuven Amitai-Preiss, Cambridge University Press,1995. Historical event chronology consulted; no map or prose copied Cliopatria contributors / Seshat Global History Databank. CC BY 4.0 · Dated polygons selected; local transfers and shared frontier edges derived with documented historical event corrections. Simon Barton, The Cambridge History of the Crusades. Published summary consulted for dated conquests; no map copied The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Facts consulted; no prose or image copied Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters, 2014. Facts consulted; no prose or image copied Natural Earth. Public domain OpenStax, World History Volume 1. CC BY 4.0 The source retains a Latin Empire beyond 1261. Its territory is assigned to restored Byzantine authority, while the remaining Latin principalities in Greece retain their own outlines.
For Syria after Ain Jalut, the source’s coarse 1260–1271 Mongol stage is corrected using the next local Mamluk Syrian outline.
At some ports, source coastlines have offsets of several kilometers at their resolution. The original polygons are preserved, and the review record gives explicit coastal anchor tolerances.
