Does anyone know if crusaders or merchants ever brought female 
servants/slaves back to Europe from the Middle-East. Or is there 
any evidence of (female) Arabs visiting the 12th Century Norman 
court? My wife and I are looking for interesting reasons that a 
Lady of Queen Elanor's court (who doesn't travel much) might know 
something about Middle-Eastern music and dance. You needn't send 
me a complete text, just a source or a place to look would be 
nice.

Thanks
