In this podcast, J Stephen Roberts is joined by Deanna Proach and historian Dr. Helena P. Schrader as we explore the life of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, separating his character in Kingdom of Heaven from the historical reality. In particular, we try to determine whether King Baldwin IV wanted peace with Saladin as portrayed in Kingdom of Heaven, or if he was a tough young warrior king bent on protecting Jerusalem from the Muslims and defeating Saladin.

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.
