Frankish Remains at Adalia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

The city of Adalia on the Caramanian coast, still a very fine example of a mediaeval walled town, has been thrice attempted by western arms and was for twelve years garrisoned by the French kings of Cyprus.

It was taken by Gautier de Montbeliard early in the reign of Hugues I. Lusignan (1205–18) but hurriedly abandoned. The warlike Pierre I. captured it in 1361 and it was held till 1373, when his successor, Pierre II. surrendered it. Lastly the ‘Crusaders’ of Mocenigo's expedition in 1472 stormed and sacked the seaward quarter but were unable to make good their footing. The surviving Frankish monuments must be attributed to the second Cypriote period.

The coat evidently attracted his attention as a Lorrainer, since both bearings occur in the coat of the Dukes of Lorraine; and a bearing identical with that of the house of Lorraine (or, a bend gu. charged with three alierinons arg.) occurs in Cyprus on the tomb of a Lady Marguerite Fardin (Chamberlayne, Lacrimae Nicossienses, p. 156, Pl. XXVIII).
