en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batiniyya
- "Bāṭiniyya" is not a neutral self-designation accepted by Ismailis; standard Ismaili and academic reference works describe it as a pejorative label used mainly by opponents.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Sicily
- Robert Guiscard did not conquer Sicily in 1060. The Norman conquest began in 1061 and was only completed decades later, in 1091.
- Palermo was conquered by the Aghlabids in 831, not 886. The year in this sentence is incorrect.
- The 740 expedition did not capture Syracuse outright. Reference works describe it as a siege that forced Syracuse to pay tribute before the Arabs withdrew.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saladin_Governorate
- This governor name is outdated. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan, not Badr/Badir al-Fahl.
- This listed governor is incorrect. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan.
- This council chairman listing is outdated. Salah al-Din’s provincial council chairman is Adel al-Sumaidaie.
- Tarmiyah does not belong in this governorate list. Al-Tarmiyah is in Baghdad Governorate, not Saladin Governorate.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_II_of_France
- This sentence is chronologically impossible: Charles was made duke of Normandy in 1355, but John II was not captured at Poitiers until 19 September 1356. The 1355 grant therefore did not happen during John's captivity after Poitiers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_VII_of_France
- This sequence is backwards. Charles VII’s last son, Charles of France, was born on December 28, 1446, but Louis was banished to the Dauphiné on September 27, 1446—months earlier.
- This birth date for Charles of France, duke of Berry, is incorrect. Reliable references place his birth in late December 1446, specifically on December 28.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poitiers
- Hilary was an early bishop of Poitiers, but not the first bishop. The Diocese of Poitiers' own list places Saint Hilaire ninth, and local tourism material calls him the 'first known bishop' rather than the first bishop.
- In 1418 Charles was not yet King Charles VII. He became Charles VII in 1422; the Parliament of Poitiers was created in 1418 by the dauphin Charles while Charles VI was still alive.
- Poitiers Basket 86 is not in France's top Pro A/Betclic ÉLITE. The LNB's official current competition coverage places PB86 in ELITE 2, the second tier.
- France Business School no longer exists as a current school in Poitiers. The FBS association was dissolved in 2015.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc
- This overstates the timeline. After her abjuration in May 1431, Joan was made to wear women’s clothing before later resuming male attire.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_IX_of_France
- This mixes up two different battles. 8 February 1250 was the Battle of Mansurah; the Battle of Fariskur happened later, on 6 April 1250, during the crusaders’ retreat.
- The sack of Baghdad did not happen in 1260. Hülegü’s Mongol army captured and sacked Baghdad in February 1258.
- Provence was not annexed by Louis IX. It remained outside the French kingdom for centuries and was only annexed to France in 1481/1486.
- Gregory IX did not simply order all copies of the Talmud destroyed. His 1239 letters called for Jewish books to be seized and examined; the later condemnation and burning followed the Paris proceedings.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lusignan
- The Lusignans ruled Jerusalem and Cyprus, and later claimed Armenia, but they did not rule the Principality of Antioch or the County of Tripoli.
- Aimery of Lusignan left Poitou after rebelling against Henry II, not because Richard the Lionheart expelled him.
- This has the chronology backwards: the castle was dismantled long before Louis XIV's reign, not fortified by him.
- By the 18th century no Lusignan 'principal branch' retained Lusignan or the County of La Marche; those lands had long since passed to the French crown.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalric,_King_of_Jerusalem
- This should be Louis VII, not Louis VIII. Louis VII was king of France in the 1160s; Louis VIII was born later, in 1187, and did not reign until 1223–1226.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulk,_King_of_Jerusalem
- Constance was not an infant when she married Raymond of Poitiers. Standard reference works date her birth to 1128 and the marriage to 1136, making her about eight or nine years old.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joscelin_III,_Count_of_Edessa
- This compresses two different arrivals into one month. Philip II reached Acre in April 1191, but Richard I did not arrive until June 8, 1191.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joscelin_I,_Count_of_Edessa
- Zengi did gain Aleppo, but he did not control Damascus by 1129. Damascus remained outside his rule; even Britannica says control of Damascus was a goal he never achieved.
- Zengi controlled Aleppo, but not Damascus. Contemporary Syria was still politically divided, and Damascus remained under Burid rule until Nur al-Din took it in 1154.
- 1146 is not the correct date for the county's conquest. Edessa itself fell in 1144, while the remaining remnants of the county survived until 1150.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_II_of_Jerusalem
- This date is wrong. Alberic of Trois-Fontaines was a 13th-century chronicler, and his chronicle was composed in the 1230s–1240s, not in 1119.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Innocent_III
- This is chronologically wrong. Innocent III knew about the planned move against Constantinople before the sack, and Alexios IV was restored in 1203, before the city's fall in 1204.
- Baldwin I was crowned emperor, not king. Standard references identify him as the first Latin emperor of Constantinople.
- This understates the crusade's toll by using a figure associated with the 1209 massacre at Béziers for the whole war. The crusade lasted from 1209 to 1229 and involved multiple massacres and campaigns beyond Béziers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel
- This is wrong on both the date and the participants: the bombardment was on November 3, 1840, and France was not part of the 1840 attacking coalition.
- This is outdated: Hapoel Acre is currently listed in Liga Leumit, Israel’s second division, not the Premier League.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Innocent_I
- This attribution appears to be based on a misused source. The cited Cerri page is about the country of Albania, while standard references identify Innocent I's birthplace as Albano.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Acre_(1291)
- This is too absolute. Many Latin Christian inhabitants escaped Acre by sea to Cyprus rather than being killed or enslaved.
- Acre’s fall ended permanent Crusader rule on the mainland, but not all later crusading efforts toward the eastern Mediterranean. Later projects and attempts sought to regain a mainland foothold after 1291.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_I_of_Jerusalem
- This sentence is off by about a year on both points: Roger I died in 1101, and standard reference works describe Adelaide's regency as lasting until 1112, not ending in 1111.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynald_of_Ch%C3%A2tillon
- Raynald did not become lord of Transjordan in 1175. Reliable sources place his acquisition of the lordship in 1177, when he married Stephanie of Milly.
- This is too absolute. Other Christian leaders, including Baldwin IV and Guy of Lusignan, also fought Saladin during the 1180s.
- Raynald's reign as lord of Transjordan did not begin in 1176. Standard references place the start in 1177, when he married Stephanie of Milly.
