A.D. 1147, after Edessa's fall a call to crusade has been made to counter the constant offensives of Saracens. Will you defend an ideal or seek for power ? Will you crusade or conquer ? Will you find your own path to salvation ?
The colors might change, until i've found the correct ones for tinctures.
My friend do you have some evidence for this one?
For this one not really good evidence, just took it from Wikipedia hoping the guy who put it was right! I know not everything is right on wikipedia but sometimes it is. I would have prefer find in it in old armorial but didn't found it yet. I don't know the source where wikipedia took it. The only little other "evidence" i have, is in France there is a noble house named Barbazan and there was a Barzaman (Barbazan in french) castle in county of Edesse and a french knight lord of this place named "lord of Barbazan". The coat of arms of this french family is the exact same one. Family names and heraldries were not set up very much in those times, that might not be impossible that this first lord of Barbazan took his name and coat of arms from his crusading experience.
CA used it in ‘Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms Crusaders’ Wiki.totalwar.com(M2TW-K-CC_unit)
Wiki.totalwar.com
So it might be not accurate but kind of established in popular culture already.
Didn't know! this is funny, but that might be pure "luck", i see many errors in their other banners but CA is not really known for his accuracy. I think Edesse is a part of Jerusalem in their campaign setting? Never played this game even if it has really good reputation.
