Great pick-up Ron! Nice to see the medieval time period represented now and then.

I find the history of this kingdom very interesting, how they were forced to leave their homeland and how they established a new Christian kingdom in the Taurus mountain region. Their minimal part they played during the Crusades, and they were effected by, the Mongols, Islamic, Byzantine and Western European contact. And that I have 2% DNA from the Caucasus region.
