It goes more into baldwin’s mother, describing her. Then Raymond of Tripoli.
Baldwin’s leprosy started getting worse as he got older and it got more obvious he had it. It started scaring the servants and maids with his face.

There was also trading involved between the Franks and Muslims. Silk, cane sugar, etc. It mentions a lot about the background of the kingdom and Baldwin’s family. But I haven’t read a lot about Baldwin himself. I know there aren’t a lot of records based on him but I’d like to have a more deeper dive on him himself instead of his family and the kingdom during his reign.

Baldwin has just been crowned. He was described to be quite handsome, and very smart. The next chapter then mentioned about the kingdom during his reign. Mentioning the pope and William of Tyre. They mentioned the crusaders, talking about what they wore. And a few mentions of Saladin invading Jerusalem.

It’s started getting more interesting. It got more into Baldwin’s life, more on his family at first. Talking about his mother and past marriages, and finding Sibylla a husband because of Baldwin’s diagnosis. It mentions about his diagnosis from Baldwin’s teacher William of Tyre. When Amalric died, there was no choice but to crown Baldwin. Even though they didn’t want him to be crowned.
