Inspired by the "Crusader Egypt" thread. Amalric's campaign, I admit, is not one I know too many details of-but of all the Crusader invasions of Egypt, it came the closest to actually working, and occurred at a time when the Fatimid Caliphate was dying (and gave way to the Ayyubids IOTL), thus making Egypt weaker than it might have been otherwise.

So, this in mind, could Amalric's campaign have worked, and if it had, what sort of state might Amalric and his successors have built in their newly-won "Kingdom of Egypt"?
