Edward Norton quite literally disappeared in the role of Baldwin IV. I had no idea he even played him in Kingdom of Heaven until after viewing it. He was the best part of the whole film. A fascinating historical figure, King Baldwin IV.

“A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.” ― King Baldwin IV

[@aguyinagreenhat6614]

Ultimately, despite his youth and illness, Baldwin was very much a respected and effective ruler for the period. If anything, his resilience, despite his debilitations showed courage, commitment and devotion to duty. Something he pretty much carried out until his death.

[@faaarrrh]

I like how you clearly keep up to date with social trends. Baldwin is all over my tiktok at the minute

[@TheHellSpawn000]

King baldwin is really the ideal image of what a leader should be. The level of discomfort he must have been in is really only matched by his humility, morality and intelligence. To meet your enemy on the field of battle and actually talk to them before engaging in combat to actually save lives is something that is absolutely lost on everyone today and thats what the problem is today, no one is capable of a rational discussion.

To answer the question posed at the end of the video. I believe Baldwin was used by God to bring about the fall of Jerusalem, but the way in which God did it, proved Baldwin to be a wise and strong ruler who indeed would've been, and was, capable of leading Jerusalem to greatness 🙏

[@CARL_093]

i admired him for his wisdom and honorable personality The young king mastered horse riding despite gradually losing sensation in his extremities and was able to fight in battles until his last years. Leprosy precluded Baldwin from marrying. He hoped to abdicate when his sister, Sibylla, married William of Montferrat in 1176, but William died the next year

[@mattdurham4046]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧💪🏻🙏🏻 Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I believe his ability as a warrior is undeniable and had he not been ill he would have been even greater.🙏🏻.

[@BlCKuT-nv8gv]

Since King Baldwin had Leporsy... and he was basically rotting away under those robes and mask... many smaller historians are now referring Baldwin as "The Undead King of Jerusalem". And he was a very wise young man, spoke from his heart and fought with strategy... his armor and weapons were as strong as his people... as was his WILL. His strength and power may have been odd, because he wanted peace... and to fight back the Muslims. Monks wore armor, and carried weapons. Children had to stay close to their parents, as even they were armed with weapons to defend themselves just in case of an invasion.

[@jaimedavis439]

I think it's safe to say that his wasn't the only time in which monks wore body armor. Far from, sadly. Id be willing to bet that this very day somewhere there's holy 'men' relying on more than gods favor to keep them safe.

Its a very bittersweet story this is my first time hearing about him, but despite his illness, he was able to rule the kingdom but, it cost him dearly of Jerusalem but, that was also the other countries as well when he was trying to send aid to Europe but, sadly they were fighting amongst themsleves but, if they came sooner it would gave Baldwin to push he needed to rule the kingdom.

"A Thousand Years Later, Peace in the Kingdom of Heaven remains elusive..."

[@Diego-408]

The passage read about leprosy being a punishment from God actually has nothing to do with leprosy. That comes from Isaiah 53 which is a messianic prophecy. Verses 3-4 (which were read) speaks of how the messiah would take on the sins of his people, and the following verses up until the end of the chapter only highly emphasize that point, it was a messianic prophecy about Jesus, not leprosy.

Do you think Baldwin’s father loved his mother and kept her with him at the palace because of this? It seems like he divorced and remarried just to get the throne. Unlike other kings who got rid of their ex wives either by sending them away or execution he kept her close.
