BALDWIN IV TRĘDOWATY i jego Królestwo Niebieskie.

Baldwin IV the Leper was one of the most recognizable figures of Outremer and the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Made famous by Ridley Scott's film "Kingdom of Heaven," the ruler was a doubly tragic figure – due to his terminal illness and the fate of his kingdom, which was on the verge of collapse in the face of Saladin's growing power. 0:00 Introduction 1:32 The Rise of the Crusader States 11:50 The Kingdom of Jerusalem 20:56 Baldwin IV 26:31 The Battle of Mont Gisard 1177 33:09 The Question of Succession 38:24 Kerak, Guy, and Reynald 48:20 The Last Years of Baldwin's Life LINK TO THE PARELTHON CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@Parelthon/vi...
