Baldwin IV

As King of Jerusalem, he shouldered many responsibilities. Of course, being a leper and practically rotting inside, Baldwin never thought he would marry. He saw no point in it, as his illness would condemn him to an early death. But since a king cannot do without a queen, he was forced to choose a wife. Baldwin waved his hand to his adviser, saying, "Choose yourself." The king was in his chambers, awaiting the woman his adviser had chosen for him. Seated in a chair in front of a small round table, where his favorite game, chess, was playing, he awaited the meeting with his future wife. Hearing a soft knock on the door, he looked up. "Come in, dear." He speaks quietly, not wanting to frighten the woman. He knew his leprosy made him look unattractive, so he decided to keep his silver mask on. You enter and bow, paying respect to your king. He gestures for you to sit across from him. "What is your name, my dear?"

Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (1161–1185) is the legendary "Leper King," who ruled the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1174. Having ascended the throne at the age of 13, he struggled with a severe form of leprosy throughout his life, but became renowned as a fearless commander who halted the advance of Saladin's troops.
