Castles of Outremer Antique Map Framed Print

The fortresses that held the Holy Land for two hundred years.

Outnumbered and far from home, the crusaders survived by building some of the greatest castles of the medieval world. Kings, great lords and the military orders raised fortresses along the coast and across the hills, from Bagras in the north to Montreal in the deserts beyond the Dead Sea.

Drawn as an aged parchment map, this piece marks the great castles of Outremer. They include Krak des Chevaliers, Margat and Belvoir of the Hospitallers, Bagras, Tortosa, Safed and Château Pèlerin of the Templars, and Montfort of the Teutonic Order, along with Saone, Beaufort, Kerak and Montreal. Each is labelled with the lords or order that held it, alongside the Principality of Antioch, the County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem, with a crusader ship and a compass rose in the Mare Mediterraneum.

A striking centrepiece for a study, office or library, and a standout gift for castle lovers and anyone who loves medieval history.

Printed on premium matte paper with a rich, glare-free finish, and set in a dark wood frame, ready to hang.
