Historical background
HOLY GROUND - KINGDOM OF JERUSALEM - BALDWIN III
(1143-1162)
Jerusalem fell into the hands of the Crusaders on July 15, 1099. Godefroy de Bouillon was appointed attorney and protector of the Holy Sepulchre. On his death in 1100, his brother Baudoin succeeded him and took the title of king (1100-1108). During the reign of Baudoin III took place the second Crusade under the direction of Louis, king of France, and Conrad III of Hohenstaufen. Jerusalem was recaptured by Saladin's troops after the Battle of Hattin (1187).
