Reference excerpt

The Lignages d'Outremer ("Lineages of Outremer") describe the pedigrees of the most important Crusader families. A first version was written in 1270 and is available in two manuscripts of the 14th century. A later version was produced in 1307/08, another in Italian, 1398 (Notizie sopra i Re di Gerusalemme e di Cipro e loro parentela etc.). It was compiled by Pierre de Flory (Piero de Fiorin), viscount of Nicosia, who probably also comes from Antioch, and Simon of Jerusalem, and was probably written in Cyprus. The lineages name more than a thousand people in the different versions. Among them are the Ibelin counts of Jaffa. It is included as an appendix to Recueil des historiens des croisades.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lignages d'Outremer

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lignages d'Outremer claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lignages d'Outremer before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lignages d'Outremer ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lignages d'Outremer

In research: Lignages d'Outremer appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lignages d'Outremer in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lignages d'Outremer is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Christians of the Crusades, Genealogy, Texts about the Crusades, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lignages d'Outremer outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
