Baldwin II of Jerusalem - Crusader King

Real Crusades History #37

In this video, J Stephen Roberts discusses the legendary King Baldwin II of Jerusalem (1060, 1118-1131), who against incredible odds, led the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem to success against its Saracen enemies. Baldwin II's reign saw the jarring Battle of Ager Sanguinis, the sponsorship of the Knights Templar, and the epic Battle of Azaz. In addition, Baldwin II features as a prominent character in J Stephen Roberts' historical novel Why Does the Heathen Rage?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
