Crusade's O'Clock Episode 17 - Baldwin to Jerusalem: His Travels to be King


Listen Later

With Godfrey de Bouillon dead, Jerusalem is threatened by internal turmoil and external pressures. Does the Holy City need a Latin King? The Patriarch Daimbert doesn't think so...

However, Godfrey's old adherents in Jerusalem certainly do! Swept up by a deep seated loyalty to their former master, they contact his kinsman Baldwin, Count of Edessa, to come and take Godfrey's place at the head of the Jerusalemite state.

Tune in to find out how Baldwin responds, the long journey that he endures, and the means by which he takes power, preparing the ground for his crowning, which we will see in a month's time, in our next episode.
