My father’s cousin, Moussa Prince (nothing to do with Blackwater!), established his genealogic tree in the 60’s, which proved that he was the direct descendent of Raymond de St Gilles, Comte de Toulouse, the first Crusade (1105) to rule Tripoli.

Interestingly, some families converted to Islam when the city fell to Sultan Qalawun’s forces (1289) but kept their names such as Desguise (de Guise), Chamboor (Chambord), Zok (Duc), etc.
