I thought that's what you were suggesting?

Okay, that's good, but enough to leave Rum at a disadvantage? And how could they get to that point? They were tipped off, or they took a different route? I'll try to look, but I never found anything of the sort on Wiki.

I meant Caesarea as in the one from the 1067 Battle of Caesarea in Syria, Anatolia, and Armenia?

I didn't mean a German Empire as in the one from 1871, I mean just a basic replacement of the HRE in Germany, with the Duchies, Margraves, Electors, and such voting in very powerful families as German Emperor.

So Adelaide marries Adalbert.

But if that's not feasible, would Germany exist like England and France at the time?

But is it feasible to exist? I know that kings in Northern Italy were nominated HR Emperor. Some kings may very well be inclined to pursue the integration of the rest of Italy into the HRE? Could the HRE at least be the Papal States?

I wasn;t suggesting he could.

What if the Arab invasions had been halted at the Indus?

Thought they wouldn't.

A version of Tang could work. Though at this stage in the game, the Tang already came to power. There are others, I just don't have the time to find them right now.

Even at this time? I'm also having a hard time finding leaders. I've thought of having the Paulicians fleeing to the West after the death of some of their leaders, but that's too early. I could always make one up. But I hate doing that.

Wait, say Jeremiah / Bogomil (are they the same person?) lead the Paulicians and Bogomilians west?
