    About Baldwin IV

    Baldwin IV, known as the Leper King, was the King of Jerusalem from 1178 until 1185. Despite his debilitating leprosy, he was admired for his willpower and dedication to the Latin Kingdom. He was a wise, calm, and peaceful ruler, known for his kindness and sympathy, yet not afraid to use violence when necessary. Baldwin was a brave warrior in the eyes of the crusader kingdom and a strong-willed, exceptional king.
