baldwin battle crusades death jerusalem king kingdom leprosy war

Year 1174, a boy at age thirteen is suddenly thrust into power upon the death of his father, King Amalric. He inherits a kingdom at war--the Kingdom of Jerusalem. However, he possesses a secret. He is dying of leprosy. Knowing he could be cast out of society forever, and knowing even if he remained king, he would suffer much and die young, King Baldwin IV determines to rule to the best of his ability although he often faces impossible odds with his inexperience and illness, but he refuses to give up. 

This is a collection of poetry and short stories based on the real life of King Baldwin IV. To read the series I'm writing based on him, go to my website under my pen name, Serafia Cross, at www.serafiacross.com, and you will find the series, 'The Last King of Legends' there. 

Though I try to keep as close to the truth as possible in the events of Baldwin's life, at times I exercise creative license and explore the 'what ifs'.  I hope you enjoy them! Thank you!Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

The story of the legendary and great leper king from the land of Jerusalem will always be a history that will never be forgotten. But what if in an alternate universe, the leper king actually lived a long life and even married the girl he loved? Would history have changed? In a reimagined Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, Hyacintha, a spirited Greek-Egyptian noblewoman, is taken into the royal court at the age of 12 by her father-and after her father's death, she growing up beneath the watchful eyes of King Baldwin IV. Behind his regal poise lies the burden of leprosy, a secret shared with few-yet Hyacintha, with her boundless heart and fierce loyalty, comes to learn the truth. As childhood companionship deepens into a forbidden love, she becomes Baldwin's sanctuary in a world of thrones, thorns, and hidden daggers. Defying court expectations, Hyacintha seeks to cure the king's affliction, delving into medicine and ancient healing. Against all odds, her devotion begins to restore what fate had taken, altering the course of the kingdom. But the palace is not kind to girls who dream too loudly. Viewed as unworthy of a crown, Hyacintha becomes the subject of scorn, political sabotage, and violent attempts to drive her away from Baldwin's side. Even the noble Balian, her closest friend, is drawn into the dark web of power plays and vendettas.

The survival of a civilization. The Ring of Fire oleh LiviuTudose

My dear warm-hearted reader, Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime!? All you need is a drop of courage, and the adrenaline will get you right in the middle of this adventure. In my story, no one feels SAFE, and life has a single purpose: SURVIVAL! The beginning reveals a titanic fight between two kings of nature - the King of the Dry Land and the King of the Seas. One fights in order to cross the seas and augment his territories, the other one want his turbid waters to invade the land. And because they are equally powerful, the line of war is almost always at the shore. A balance that prevents their advancement on the enemy territory. Until one day when the "Legend of the Four Sons" disrupts this balance, and the Kingdom of the Seas invades mercilessly the Kingdom of the Dry Land, breaking it into a number of islands; over time, only four pieces of land are left amidst the seas; on them - four port-towns: Isbynorr, Narzomand, Salgornu, and Zendovir. On the other hand, the Kingdom of the Dry Land sends its explorers to cross the endless seas in search of other territories. Even so, nature seems to be unfair; it has some gifts for some and almost nothing for others... Everything is an adventure, and each event, each character will enchant your eyes. They hope to survive! Do you have any HOPE for something GREAT? Do you feel SAFE? You can answer these questions on your own! QUENCH your curiosity RIGHT NOW! Arrrrrrrgh!

By Royal Decree //Princess&Bodyguard oleh EstieBestie016

When the king of Andorra suddenly dies, Mias eldest brother, Luke, is forced into the position of king. Mia was one step closer to the throne than she'd ever liked, and that began her freedom streak, including parties and concerts. It sent the royal guards crazy, so many of them had quit. Her brother hired an American guard, one that was not on the royal payroll, but soon to be, to protect his sister. They were civil, until one night ruined it all, forcing them into the most poisonous hatred for each other. Despite this, he'd do anything to protect her, and she'd do anything to defend him. He was harsh and she was stubborn. Would either of them come to love one another? Or would the disagreements drive them insane? -- 'Theo will be here shortly.' My brother spoke softly. 'Theo?' I asked, my heart speeding up. He'd never mentioned anything about a visitor. 'Your new bodyguard. I thought you could use taming.' He responded, not even looking up from his newspaper. 'Isn't he a royal guard?' I frowned. 'No, none of them could keep up with you. Hes American.' -- ⚠️will include sexual content, swearing, sensitive subjects. Not intended for those under 16. I own all characters and storylines, the information about the royals may not be all true, as some will change to fit my story. Thank you :) enjoy.

The Leper King's Healer oleh fgtan3

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Context that no one reads♥ The five Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes is all about romance defying social construct. A chivalry, courageous and honourable type, conveying courtly love and national unity. I had only found out about this poetry book very late but coincidentally it complimented the story brilliantly, so I have featured it in this piece. I decided to name this book after all five novels, calling this the 6th Arthurian Romances, as it is also set in that time. Essentially, it is about love between two different classes. As you know they took King's bloodlines very seriously as well as the hierarchy in the 12th century. But what if this king, like the Knight of Lion and the Knight of Cart, followed their hearts rather than society?

You're someone I'm willing to die for so get it through your head." "Why?" I breathed. "Because I want to." He kissed my forehead, "and because I can." **** A king on the path of revenge and a girl running for her life. Can he protect her? Will she save him?
