  imagine having to control the high table, the politics and factions.....imagine having to play war games with a great sultan Salahudin, and all that while at a young age and dying of leprosy.....King Baldwin IV was a complete badass.

  Dang, this kid defeated an experienced commander in battle at the age of 16! While he was fighting a disease at the same time! When I was 16, I was still very much a child in the way I conducted myself. Baldwin IV is right up there with Alexander The Great in terms of skill as a battle field commander and tactician.

  Can you imagine how exhilarated the leper king felt, after saving Jerusalem like that. Guaranteed, the pinnacle moment of his life. He must have been so proud of himself. I&apos;m glad he experienced that, in his short life. It&apos;s sad. The true noble rulers, never last long. The good die young. The wicked live &nbsp;and rule forever.

  Baldwin IV was a king who deserves the same level of respect as Alexander the Great

  It&apos;s a great shame Baldwin the 4th wasn&apos;t well and died so young, and Physicians didn&apos;t know enough to be able to help him and keep him well, it could&apos;ve made a huge difference in the whole history of the Crusades
