The era of the Crusader states and of the Ayyubids under Salah al-Din, and of the Mamluks in Egypt and the Levant, ending with the Ottoman conquest. The museum roughly bounds it from 1095 CE to 1517 CE. These boundaries are the museum's own organising convention and are not absolute.

This era is still thinly covered in the museum (13 items only), so this page should not be read as a comprehensive survey of it. Its items are being added gradually from primary sources with each new batch.

The era's boundaries are the museum's own organising convention and are approximate. For the wider history of this period, see ^{1 2}.
