AI overview
I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview. The phrase "Christian states in the Levant, 1098–1291" indicates the time period and region, but you've asked me to base my response only on the context given, which lacks descriptive information about what these states were, how they functioned, or why they matter historically. To write accurately without inventing facts, I would need context that explains these aspects of the Crusader states.
