From the 7th to the 11th century, the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]], which unified [[Audonia]] under the banner of Islam, spread across the known world. The [[Melian Islands]] were taken by the Caliphate in [[728]] which lead to a century of large scale invasions into eastern [[Sarpedon]], followed by subsequent campaigns by individual adventurers to establish their own Caliphate-tributary realms in [[Sarpedon]]. The collapsing authority of [[Caphiria]] during this period made the continent especially vulnerable. Due to the strategic location of the islands in the [[Sea of Istroya]] and [[Prevailing Winds|prevailing winds]], Caliphal campaigns were waged with relative logistic ease. By the middle of the 11th century, the entire [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|ancient Istroyan world]] and eastern Sarpedon had been conquered by the Caliphate. The dynastic feuding and civil wars of the Caliphate beginning in the 11th century lead to the destruction of Christian holy sites in the [[Melian Islands]], enraging the [[Occident|Christian world]] and leading to social and political calls for retaliation. | From the 7th to the 11th century, the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]], which unified [[Audonia]] under the banner of Islam, spread across the known world.

The Second Crusade saw the [[Melian Islands]] attacked by the Crusaders, but the offensive bogged down in a long siege that was ultimately unsuccessful. Some minor islands in the [[Sea of Istroya]] were taken by the Crusaders, but its overall mission of cutting the [[Audonia]]-[[Sarpedon]] connection failed. It was the last time the Caliphate was able to launch a major campaign using Audonian resources in [[Sarpedon]]. | The Second Crusade saw the [[Melian Islands]] attacked by the Crusaders, but the offensive bogged down in a long siege that was ultimately unsuccessful.

The Third Crusade (1144) had significant and long-lasting effects on the balance of power between Sarpedon and Audonia. The Crusaders managed to capture the [[Melian Islands]] and supported an uprising of the [[Qustanti Islam|Qustanti Muslims]] living in the southern islands, and their alliance completely severed the connection between the emirs of Sarpedon and the [[Oduniyyad_Caliphate#Western_Division|western Caliph]] to whom they owed allegiance. The Third Crusade began the era of the independent emirates, a situation which would become ''de jure'' with the destruction of the western Caliphate in 1153. On mainland Sarpedon, Islamic control was pushed back roughly to the modern eastern border of [[Caphiria]]. | The Third Crusade (1144) had significant and long-lasting effects on the balance of power between Sarpedon and Audonia.

Many scholars consider the Audonian Crusades as a continuation of the Crusades in Sarpedon, as its driving power was following up on the successes of the Levantine Catholic forces against Islamic holdings in southern Sarpedon. While largely ineffective, a remaining legacy was the establishment of a Catholic Crusader state in [[Antilles]]. | Many scholars consider the Audonian Crusades as a continuation of the Crusades in Sarpedon, as its driving power was following up on the successes of the Levantine Catholic forces against Islamic holdings in southern Sarpedon.

With its elevation to Most Serene Duchy in 1574, the Most Serene Grand-Officer Duke Marcus Antonius was also elected as the Grand Master of the Order. This, lead to an almost 150 period of "northern knights" leading the Order. This also formally ended the "crusading" era in Joanusterrium and started the era of "administration". | With its elevation to Most Serene Duchy in 1574, the Most Serene Grand-Officer Duke Marcus Antonius was also elected as the Grand Master of the Order.

The [[Kurikilan Crusade]] was an extension of the [[First Princes' War]] in [[Faneria]], and a direct defiance of the peace made afterwards by the Wydd-Màrtainn branch of the royal line. The First Princes' War was fought over religious tolerance of protestant sects in Faneria and its surrounds as much as over succession rights and noble privilege, and resulted in a large number of protestants surrounding a sect in the city of Kurikila attempting to create an independent holy state, refusing to accept rule by a Catholic monarch. In response, a several years-long siege of the region was undertaken, eventually resulting in a number of massacres of protestant congregations, a refugee crisis, and a brief period of the Wydd-Màrtainns reneging on their promises to protestant elements of the nobility followed by decades of tension. The region was later populated heavily with colonists from eastern Faneria, creating a large mixed culture in the west and blotting out Protestant remnants in the area. | |||

Considered a proto-Crusade, the Tonsure Wars were a series of doctrinal and military conflicts between Latinic Alvarians and the Gaelians in Northern Levantia in the 8th century. It was named for the style of monastic tonsure worn by the clergy of each ethnic group. Alvarians monks wearing the coronal tonsure espousing a direct and puritanical application of Catholic rites and the Gaelians monks wearing the Celtic tonsure and embracing a more colloquial form of Catholicism. At the insistence of the clergy in Alvaria, in 738 an edict was passed that all monastic orders in Gaelia must conform to the "regular traditions and trappings of the Papal orders" with specific language regarding the cutting of hair and the wearing of plain robes, not to be colored in the "patterns of the forest". The edict was largely ignored as the Alvarians had no interest in enforcing the ruling and the clerics had no jurisdiction. In 754, a group of monks and mercenaries set out from Marialanus to "implore" Gaelian monks along the border to conform to the edict. The mercenaries looted the monasteries and got drunk on the beer and wine causing havoc and the venture was called off. In 768, another party was formed, this time with the blessing of the Archbishop of Rabascall, and the monks themselves had been given dispensation to take up arms. Additionally, the Pope had declared Celtic Christianity a pagan and blasphemous church the year before. This gave the monks dispensation to convert or "dispatch to God's judgment" the monks of Gaelia. The warrior monks descended upon the border regions and attacked a number of churches. The King of Gaelia formed and army and dispatched the Alvarian monks quickly. The Pope saw this as the temporal kingdom taking arms against Catholic Church and the Alvarian and Fanerian armies were called to bring the Gaelians back into the fold. A series of battles ensued and Gaelia was greatly diminished to the benefit of Alvaria and Faneria. In 783, the edict of 738 was adopted across Gaelia and the practice of shaving the Celtic tonsure ended as a common practice. Some remote monasteries continued the practice into the 1200s but it eventually fell out of style. The practice reemerged in the 1830s after the Northern Levantine Mediatization War and continues in some places to this day. | Considered a proto-Crusade, the Tonsure Wars were a series of doctrinal and military conflicts between Latinic Alvarians and the Gaelians in Northern Levantia in the 8th century.
