Apologies for this taking so long - didn't have time to look into all these things for you before.

Prior to that date is when they would start, but they would certainly put more effort into it then.

That entire campaign is referred to as the "Battle of Caesarea." You're right about the city.

At that era, yes - though it's duchies, not kingdoms.

Were already in most of Northern Italy - and they can't get what they don't have. Not getting the Papal States. Doesn't doom anything.

No - it was Afghans centuries later that conquered Delhi.

Not impossible for larger kingdoms to exist in India periodically.

Can, something else to remember - those "heresies" you refer to are Orthodox heresies, not Catholic ones. More or less entirely irrelevant to the Catholic Church, and they'd be ignored.

Those names would work.

Possible to avoid the Qing.
