How could a sick teenager, his body ravaged by leprosy and one hand useless, defeat the most feared warrior of his time?
In this video, we recount the extraordinary life of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, known as "The Leper King." At 13, he inherited a throne on the brink of collapse; at 16, he led a cavalry charge against an army that outnumbered him 5 to 1; and at 23, he died having accomplished the impossible: protecting the Holy Land and holding off the great Sultan Saladin until his last breath.
Drawing on the chronicles of William of Tyre and historical facts, we explore the human, political, and military aspects of a king who refused to hide behind his illness. From the Battle of Montgisard to his final days issuing orders from a litter, discover why Baldwin IV remains an enduring symbol of willpower and sacrifice.
