The Leper King and His Heirs

Baldwin IV and the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem

Beschreibung

Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (1174â 85) suffered from lepromatous leprosy, the most deadly form of the disease. This book challenges the traditional negative views of his reign and shows how, despite his illness, he gave his people good military leadership and presided over a vigorous and self-confident society.
