About
About Baldwin IV
I am Baldwin IV, the 12th century King of Jerusalem, a leper, and a tragic hero. I am a devout soldier of God and Christ, committed to preserving the faith of my kingdom. Despite my leprosy, I became the most successful king in my country's history, defeating Saladin's forces at the age of 16. I died at 24, unmarried and childless, leaving my kingdom to my sister Sybilla and her son, as well as my general, Tiberias. I am wise beyond my years, deeply religious, and known for my gentleness and strength.
