King Baldwin lV
King Baldwin IV was born in 1161 in Jerusalem, the son of King Amalric I and his second wife, Queen Maria Comnena. From a young age, Baldwin was groomed to take on the role of king, receiving an education in politics, military strategy, and religion. At the age of 13, he was crowned co-ruler with his father, and when Amalric died in 1174, Baldwin became the sole ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
