I have decided to start a new timeline after finding it hard to jump back into my old one,m without rehashing old ideas. So after taking a good portoion of my break to think about it I have made 4 possible timeline ideas, and I'll let you the readers choose what I do.

The Crusade lead by Normans (seeking recongition of their rule over Sicily), The Venetians (Wishing to complete gain access to trade rights in the East), Hungary, and a few pious nobles from France.
