Baldwin I became ruler of Jerusalem in July 1100, one year after the city was captured by the First Crusade and following the death of its first ruler, Godfrey of Bouillon. Godfrey’s tenure had been too short to establish Latin rule on a sound basis. He died unexpectedly and without designating an heir; thus the succession of his younger brother was by no means assured, and the fact that Baldwin had been absent from the siege of Jerusalem in 1099 counted against him in the accession crisis of 1100. Nevertheless, Baldwin benefited from some overspill of his brother’s heroic reputation, sharing (naturally) a mythical descent from the ’Swan Knight’, and had earned respect as the ruler of Edessa since 1097. In the event, he ruled for eighteen years and dealt successfully not only with external threats from Saracens and Turks, but also with rivalries between the new crusader states and, more insidiously, difficulties with the Latin patrarchate of Jerusalem. Shortages of manpower and money did not prevent his systematic conquest of the coastal cities, which represented a major threat as long as they were in Saracen hands, although the campaigns required naval support, and this had long term consequences for the kingdom’s relations with Byzantium and the Italian maritime cities. This is the first full length study of Baldwin I’s life, reign and reputation, and is based on a thorough knowledge of the source materials, which contain a wealth of detail and anecdote about this enigmatic and effective individual. Hardcover, Edition: 1, Label: Routledge, Routledge, Product group: Book, Published: 2018-09-08, Studio: Routledge, Sales rank: 6228945.
