In the twelfth century, Brooklyn was a wilderness sparsely occupied by Native Americans. The landscape was basically forest.

It originally began to be built then, but it has changed over the centuries and the building has only been used as a museum since 1793.

Legend mentions him in the 1190s, at the time Prince John ruled England. He would have been around during the lifetime of King Richard the Lionheart. No way to be sure if he was an actual person, or a legend made up from a number of people. It is also possible he was a common thug ... but lets not kill the romanticism :)

Mesa Verde National Park was created in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world. In the late 1190s the Anasazi began to build the cliff dwellings for which Mesa Verde is famous.

Yes, for a time. the Muslims got it back after a while, though. the battle of Dorleaum in modern Turkey, the conquest of Antioch and the conquest of Jerusalem can be given as examples of Crusader victories. all these advancements took place between 1096 and 1100 Also, in the 1190s, Richard the Lionhearted pretty much helped save the crusader states and let them live on for another hundred years. Just as when defeat seemed certain for crusaders with only one settlement left in the Holy Land, Richard arrived and recaptured the entire coastline from Saladin, the Muslim leader. If I remember correctly, Richard did not even lose a battle to Saladin. But in the end, strategic impairments, such as fear of overstretching supply lines, prevented him from attacking Jerusalem.
