Our story starts in the year 1009, when the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim orders the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Not only do the Caliph's actions stir up the first rumblings of a possible Crusade in the West, but the eventual success of the Crusaders a century later will be predicated on the decline of Fatimid Egypt as a regional power.
So who were the Fatimids? What role did they play in the Levant? Find out on this week's episode of History of the Outremer. New episodes every other week. For more info, sources, and useful maps, visit historyoftheoutremer.wordpress.com
