Mi'ilya ((アラビア語:معليا), ) is an Arab local council in the western Galilee in the Northern District of Israel. Its name during the Kingdom of Jerusalem era in Galilee was Castellum Regis.〔 All of its inhabitants are Melkite Greek Catholics. The town is located immediately to the northwest of Ma'alot-Tarshiha. ==History== Archaeological excavations in Mi'ilya gives indication of inhabitation from the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, as well as Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Mamluk and Ottoman periods.〔Porat, 2009, (Mi‘ilya, the Church Square Preliminary Report )〕 In the Crusader era, Mi'ilya was first mentioned in 1160, when it and several surrounding villages was transferred to a Crusader named ''Iohanni de Caypha'' (Johannes of Haifa).〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. (2 )-3, No. 2; Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. (89 ), No. 341; Cited in Pringle, 1993, p. ( 30 ) and in Ellenblum, 2003, p. ( 41 )〕 In 1179 Viscountess Petronella of Acre sold the houses, vineyards and gardens of Mi'ilya to Count Jocelyn III, uncle of Baldwin IV,〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. (11 )-12, No. 11; cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. (156 ), No. 587; cited in Pringle, 1997, p. ( 71 )〕 and in 1183, Baldwin IV transferred a house that he had bought in Mi'ilya from the scribe, John of Bogalet, in addition to other possessions in the vicinity of Mi'ilya to the same uncle, Jocelyn III.〔Strehlke, 1869, p. ( 16 ), No. 17; cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, pp. ( 165 )-6, No. 625; Cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 30 )〕 However, already in 1187 Mi'ilya (including its castle) fell to Saladin.〔Abu'l-Fida, in R.H.C. Or. I., p. (56 ), Ali ibn al-Athir, 1231, Kamel-Altevarykh, as given in R.H.C. Or. I., p. (690 ) and Al-Maqrizi, all cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 30 )〕 In 1188 it was granted by Conrad of Montferrat to the Pisans who were defending Acre,〔Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. ( 180 ), No. 674, cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 30 )〕 but it is unclear if they ever took control of it. In 1220 Jocelyn III´s daughter Beatrix de Courtenay and her husband Otto von Botenlauben, Count of Henneberg, sold Mi'ilya to the Teutonic Knights on the 31st of May, for the sum of 7000 marks of silver. This included Mi'ilya with its dependencies, and a third of the fief of St. George.〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. ( 43 )-44, No. 53; pp. (47 )-49, Nos. 58-59; Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. ( 248 ), No. 934; Cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 30 )〕〔Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. (190 )〕 In 1228 Jocelyn III´s grandson James of Mandale sold his part to the Teutonic Knights.〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. ( 51 )-53, No. 63; pp. (53 )-54, No. 65; Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. ( 263 ), No. 1002; p. ( 265 ), No. 1011; Cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 30 )〕 Between 1220 and 1243, the Teutonic Knights bought a number of properties from private owners around the castle.〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. (120 )-128, No.128; Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, pp. (134 )-135, No. 510; Cited in Pringle, 1998, p. ( 31 ) and Ellenblum, 2003, pp. ( 42 )-44〕 Another document from the year 1257 mentions a house and other property in Mi‘ilya that belonged to the Bishop of ‘Akko.〔Strehlke, 1869, pp. (91 )-94, No. 112, ; Cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, p. (331 ), No. 1260; cited in Ellenblum, 2003, p. ( 149 ) and Khamisy, 2013, ( Mi‘ilya )〕 By 1268/71 Mi'ilya was conquered by Baibars.〔Pringle, 1997, p.
