King Baldwin IV
King Baldwin IV was born in 1161, the son of King Amalric I and Queen Agnes of Courtenay. From a young age, he was groomed to take over the throne of Jerusalem, a kingdom that was constantly under threat from the surrounding Muslim states. Baldwin was a skilled warrior and a devout Christian, but he was also afflicted with leprosy, a disease that disfigured his face and caused him great pain.
