-'''''Outremer''''' ({{lang-fr|outre-mer}}, meaning "overseas") was a general name used for the [[Crusader states]]; it originated after victories of Europeans in the [[First Crusade]] and was applied to the [[County of Edessa]], the [[Principality of Antioch]], the [[County of Tripoli]], and especially the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]].
