  • "When I was 16 I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be 100. Now I know I shall not see 30. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there." -Baldwin IV :)

    “A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus." Or that, "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.” ― King Baldwin IV
  • Edward Norton quite literally disappeared in the role of Baldwin IV. I had no idea he even played him in Kingdom of Heaven until after viewing it. He was the best part of the whole film. A fascinating historical figure, King Baldwin IV.

    Just watched Kingdom of Heaven the other day. One of Edward Nortons best roles.

    I like how you clearly keep up to date with social trends. Baldwin is all over my tiktok at the minute
  • Ultimately, despite his youth and illness, Baldwin was very much a respected and effective ruler for the period. If anything, his resilience, despite his debilitations showed courage, commitment and devotion to duty. Something he pretty much carried out until his death.
  • When you don't want to do something because you feel ill, just remember that Baldwin won wars and protected an entire Kingdom from a larger than life army for over 23 years while he suffered from Leprosy... and he never complained
  • @BlaqkEye888
    I appreciate how your videos take into account the possibility of bias in various historical documentation.
  • @Treayom
    Everytime he says "Issjue" I remember how royal proper english sounds. Great series!!
  • Godfrey of Bouillon King of Jerusalem, one of the leaders of the 1st Crusade, but also culinary genius, most of his fortune coming from his invention of Bouillon Cubes, some years prior. Though his reign was eventful, he's most remembered for his delicious addition to culinary history.
  • "The quote about keeping one's soul is a powerful reminder of personal responsibility and virtue, even when faced with the influence of power."

    Wish I had been taught this history at school
  • @GoogleUserOne
    Anyone ever watch the directors cut for ‘kingdom of heaven”?? It was so much better
  • @johnforbey8454
    Having seen 'Kingdom of Heaven' and it's proud representation of Baldwin I feel he if not having been compromised by his sickness would have surely presented a more present alliance toward enemies of Christianity in Jerusalem. Wish Baldwin had more support.

    I love how you just you do research and you know what you're talking about. I love that that about this channel.

    The passage quoted from the Book of Isaiah is a prophecy about Jesus
