For readers of romantic fantasy novels about medieval knights and true love.
Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (French: Baudouin) was one of the most peculiar young kings of his era, noted for his incredible courage and fortitude. Despite a serious illness - leprosy - that struck him as a child, he led successful military campaigns, was beloved by his crusader knights, and respected by his adversaries. Unfortunately, due to his dangerous illness, the king left no offspring. Almost nothing is known about his relationships with women. What might have been the fate of this courageous and wise ruler if he had received effective treatment in time and had met a worthy companion to share his earthly happiness. The fan fiction genre allows us to construct an alternative scenario with a happy ending and enjoy a satisfying story.
