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

When you don't want to do something because you feel ill, just remember that Baldwin won wars and protected an entire Kingdom from a larger than life army for over 23 years while he suffered from Leprosy... and he never complained

[@niki_0107]

feeling ill is a valid reason to rest. I'm not diagnosed yet, but I likely have some autoimmune condition (maybe lupus) and I feel ill more often than not. when I feel especially ill, forcing myself to do things anyway causes me to get so much worse - I end up in bed for a week straight

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.

Having seen 'Kingdom of Heaven' and it's proud representation of Baldwin I feel he if not having been compromised by his sickness would have surely presented a more present alliance toward enemies of Christianity in Jerusalem. Wish Baldwin had more support.

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

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.

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.

I really tried to watch the whole thing, but the fact that the images don't match the story makes a big difference. A lot of us have attention deficit and the droning of the narrator combined with the lack of relatable visual material makes this format untenable. I'd recommend looking at the story-telling format of Kings and Generals, which is much easier to follow along with since their visuals are telling the same story as the narrator.

The crusader state and the crusades never should have happened. My take is that the whole ordeal was a distraction to keep interest in the area away from Constantinople, a major trading point and strategic naval port, another supported state in decline. The consequences for both Europe and the Levant were felt for decades due to the crusades. A sovereign state should be able to sustain itself, not depend on outside help. True then, true now.
