No, there was not.  The First and Second Crusades utterly destroyed the
communities that had survived the Roman and Arab occupations, and the
communities that started resettling EY in the Ramban's day were all
immigrants who brought their chu"l minhagim with them, including the
minhagim of paskening like the Bavli, keeping two days of Rosh Hashana, 
and not benching lulav when the first day of Succos falls on Shabbos.
