Treaty of Devol[edit]
This is a self-nomination, of an article I worked on while I had no internet access (that's the best way to write :)). I know it needs a picture and/or a map, and I will continue to fix the prose a bit...it is a little shorter than other FACs, but I think it is detailed enough, it's certainly more info than is available elsewhere on the internet.

- A few things are needed.
- A pic of either of the two signatories (or beter still, both) (or, even better than that, a map of Antioch's location--preferably old).
- The article makes reference a couple times to traditional Western distrust/dislike of the Byzantines. Can we get a little background as to why this prejudice existed and what exactly the Westerners did think of the Byzantines?
- I'd like a definition of what's meant by "Westerners", for those of us who aren't up on the Crusades.
Thanks a lot, and I'll support once some of these issues are addressed (if no pic is available, I understand). [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:39, 2004 Jul 23 (UTC)
I found a pic of Alexius I, and an old map of Asia Minor and the Crusader states...I can't find any more relevant maps, or any pics of Bohemond or Tancred. I have also expanded it a bit, hopefully clarifying the origins of the conflict between the Crusaders and Byzantines. Let me know if it needs to be more clear. Adam Bishop 19:43, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Good article. One question: Bohemond I of Antioch redirects to Bohemund I of Antioch. Which of these is the name commonly used in English language? Jeronimo 20:42, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- On the internet "Bohemund" appears to be more popular (and all of our prince of Antioch articles use that spelling), while in scholarly sources "Bohemond" seems to be more usual. Adam Bishop 01:30, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
