Place of burial: Jerusalem, Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Genus: Gâtinais-Anjou, Jerusalem branch. Father: Amaury I. Mother: Agnes de Courtenay. Attitude to religion: Catholicism.

Baldwin was born in Jerusalem shortly before the coronation of his father, Amalric I. During his childhood, his parents' marriage was annulled, and his father married the Byzantine princess Maria Comnena. The historian William of Tyre oversaw the young Baldwin's education. From an early age, Baldwin suffered from leprosy, which manifested itself as sensory loss.

At 13, Baldwin became King of Jerusalem upon the death of his father. Due to his young age, regents ruled: first Miles de Plancy, then Raymond III. Since Baldwin was terminally ill and unable to have children, the barons focused on his sisters, Sibylla and Isabella, as potential heirs.

In October 1176, Sibylla married William of Montferrat, receiving the counties of Jaffa and Ascalon as her dowry. In 1177, Baldwin IV came of age and planned an invasion of Egypt. He freed Raynald of Châtillon from captivity and sent him to Constantinople to negotiate support for the Byzantine navy. Byzantium sent 70 galleys. William of Montferrat died of malaria, leaving behind a pregnant Sibylla.

In August 1177, Philip, Count of Flanders, arrived in Jerusalem, refusing to become regent and demanding marriages between the king's sisters and his vassals. The High Curia rejected his demands, and Philip left Jerusalem.

In November 1177, Saladin's army blockaded Doron and Gaza, occupied Ramla, and besieged Lydda and Arzuf. Baldwin, calling upon the Templars, defeated Saladin at the Battle of Montgisard. That same year, Baldwin consented to the marriage of his stepmother, Maria, to Balian de Ibelin, but refused to marry his sisters to members of his family.

In 1179, Baldwin continued his war against the Muslims. In April, he was attacked by Saladin's nephew, and the king was saved by the constable, Onfroy II, who was mortally wounded. In June, Baldwin, Raymond III, and Odo of Saint-Amand were defeated by Saladin. The king was rescued, Raymond III fled, and Odo of Saint-Amand was captured. In August, Saladin captured the fortress of Jacob's Ford, beheading the Templars. Baldwin lost approximately 800-1,000 men.

In 1180, Saladin concluded a two-year peace with Baldwin and sent troops to Aleppo and Mosul.
