About this quiz

What you’ll practice

From the Kingdom of Jerusalem to smaller lordships, this quiz focuses on linking Crusader-state names with their capitals and principal administrative centers.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can think through geography, chronology, and naming conventions without rushing.

Difficulty and common pitfalls

Difficulty is balanced by mixing well-known pairings with trickier entries, including alternate spellings and historically shifting centers of power.

A frequent mistake is confusing similarly named places (especially coastal cities) or assuming the most famous fortress is always the capital.

  • Watch for variant spellings and Latin/Arabic/Frankish name forms
  • Don’t mix up neighboring states with overlapping spheres of influence
  • Remember that “capital” can mean administrative seat, not the largest city
  • Use geography cues: coast vs inland often narrows options fast
  • Recheck look-alike names before locking in an answer

How to play and customize

Before starting, pick how many questions you want and select a difficulty setting to match your study goal; shorter runs are great for review, while longer sessions build recall.

Because there’s no timer and every item has four options, you can treat it as practice mode: learn from misses, then replay to reinforce the toughest capitals.
