Baldwin II of Jerusalem

Baldwin II of Jerusalem was a medieval king who ruled from 1118 to 1131 during the early years of the Crusader States. He was the last monarch of the first crusade who ruled over the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which was established after Christian forces captured the city in 1099. Baldwin II was known for his leadership in fortifying defenses against Muslim forces, diplomatic skills, and promoting the Christian community in the region. His reign saw both challenges and successes in maintaining the fragile Christian rule in the Holy Land amid ongoing conflicts and political intrigues.
