The '''Fall of Tripoli''' was the capture and destruction of the [[Crusader state]] of the [[County of Tripoli]] (now parts of [[Lebanon]] and [[Syria]]) by the [[Mamluk Sultanate]] based in [[Cairo]]. The battle occurred in 1289 and was an important event in the [[Crusades]], as it marked the capture of one of the few remaining major Crusader possessions. The event is depicted in a rare surviving illustration from a now-fragmentary manuscript known as the '[[Cocharelli Codex]]', thought to have been created in Genoa in the 1330s.
