Who was Baldwin IV?
Baldwin IV was the King
of Jerusalem from 1174
until his death in 1185.
Baldwin IV suffered from
leprosy (although he didn't
let that stop him) and by the
time of his death at the
age of 24, he had won many
victories against the Muslim
forces led by Saladin.

Sound familiar? That's
probably because he is
one of the main characters
in the 2005 movie "Kingdom
of Heaven." Yeah, he's the
mask guy. No, he didn't
actually hide his face in
real life. Edward Norton
was incredible as Baldwin
though, so the mask is okay.
