    It’s amazing that the council didn’t want him to retire. That says so much about him & them! Usually, there is a lot of intrigue & backstabbing in bids to get ahold of power & the throne.

      You should read about the succession crisis That took place in the final years of baldwins life and the immediate years after of his death, It’s got all the political backstabbing you could want. The nobles may not have wanted Baldwin to leave but they definitely did not want Guy to succeed him.

A year ago i when i was 17 i learned about the Achievements of Baldwin the IV and said to myself this great men when he was the same age as me achieved so much while i was wasting my time doing nothing with myself. Then i realised if this men went to battle with leprosy and commanded so much respect i have no excuses why i can't get up early and go work out and improme myself everyday. Truly an inspiration.

    Leprosy is such a fascinating historical disease. Mycobacterium leprae is so slow-growing, manifesting the characteristic skin lesions can take so long (most mycobacterium skin infections carry uniquely painless ulcers). To have carried the stigma of disease with dignity and faith, inspiring warriors who would likely be disgusted by you, all while having to be a king and military strategist, is a remarkable testament to Baldwin IV's sheer force of will and devotion to Christ. Glad to see people taking an interest in this amazing figure from history again.

    Baldwin IV was, indeed, the second and youngest son of King Amalric, but he was not, by any possible means, the younger brother of Baldwin III, since Baldwin III was actually Amalric's older brother (in shorter words, Baldwin III was the paternal uncle of Baldwin IV). Baldwin's older sister was Sibylla, future Queen of Jerusalem after her brother's untimely death in 1185, and her own son's (Baldwin V) in 1186.

    I think a movie should be made that tells the life story of King Baudouin, he deserves it because ,In addition, with the best character mask words and eyes in the movie King Baudouin, Edward Norton showed his superior talent in acting in the movie ,The truth is I was impressed by this man's story, there have been such tragic and heroic leaders in history !!
