Tan; Rockford, Il; Softcover; -2; -2New; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; Crusader King A Novel of Baldwin IV and the Crusades. Born 1161- Ascended the Throne of Jerusalem 1174- Died 1185. Ascending the Catholic Throne of Jerusalem at age 13 in the year 1174, Baldwin IV faced one of the most difficult tasks in all of history. As Sovereigh, he had been entrusted with defending the embattled Kingdom of Jerusalem against the Turks, now led by a military genius know as Saladin. Yet there were enemies within his own ranks- the outrageously ambitious Count Raymond of Tripoli; the outlaw Hawk of Kerak with his private army; Baldwin's scheming sister, the gorgeous Princess Sibly- not to mention the fact that Baldwin's own body was slowly disintegrating with leprosy. There were few that the young leper King could trust; the Knights Templar, a few loyal barons...and God. With the burdens of manhood thrust upon him in the flower of his youth, Baldwin daily faced enormous challenges both on and off the battlefield. Teens and avid readers of all ages will delight in this fast-paced, inspiring and highly entertaining story based on history and bringing to life the tremendous drama of the Crusades!
