Baldwin I

Baldwin I (1058-1118) was king of Jerusalem. He succeeded his brother Godfrey de Bouillon. By assuming said title, made himself master of most of the towns on the coast of Syria. He contracted a disease in Egypt, returned to Jerusalem, and died, where he was buried on Mount Calvary.

There were five of this name and title afterwards, the last of whom, a child of some eight years old, died in 1186.
