400 Jerusalem, Latin Kingdom of
In 1113, an ordinance of King BALDWINI prescribed the
colonization of the city by Christians, including those of
Eastern sects. The royal government was concentrated
around the Tower of David in East Jerusalem. Power was
vested mainly in the churches and religious houses,
under the authority of the patriarch. Under the new
regime, economic activity was marginal, with resources
primarily derived from pilgrims and pious donations.COUNTY OF EDESSA
