<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 6257079, member: 56653"]I would normally agree with you regarding the devolution of style and possibly fabric in time, but at least in this case I have not seen any reference to push this type later than the first reign of Bohemond IV. As I look at it, I too consider it of low enough quality to be put around 1250 or so, especially looking at that wire border between legend an mid field. Your specimen is the same story.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, the early part of the 13th century was marked by the War of the Antiochene Succession, in which Antioch itself was hard-pressed to recognize between the de facto ruler and the Frankish-Armenian faction of the extended "family."
