@artemiscollective: Slight pivot from my usual content to talk about someone I have always been obsessed with, Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. He had leprosy, died at only the age of 24, yet was one of the most effective rulers in history (IMO). He commanded armies when he could no longer walk, he navigated toxic court politics, and fought off a powerful enemy. So yes, he's incredible. #History #HistoryTime #TikTokLearningCampaign #baldwiniv #historytok

AJ 📚👑 Fantasy Author :

Kingdom of Heaven is such an underrated movie 😩

SDIYBT :

Saladin came too close to be bold

G_Man83Hall :

"When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there".

ColbyTravelingSomewhere :

Wow I didn’t realize he was only 24!

yesofcoursenotyes :

How/when did he contract leprosy?

Goblin Welder :

The depiction of Saladin in KOH was also perfect and done with respect.

Le artist Pat :

so hear me out

justscrolling :

Edward Norton did an incredible job

thesassycat :

He was such a badass

earflutter :

Baldwin IV is my 6th cousin 28 times removed

Juul_Peeters@03 :

the Mask is so much aura

keiraimc :

He is SUCH a fascinating historical figure

Miles Wilburn :

Speaking of Kingdom of Heaven, Baldwin IV is one of Edward Norton’s best performances.

The Credible She Hoke (Quako) :

I’ll never pass up a Baldwin video

FYP Frenzzy :

x_zen :

I love him to

DoYouKnowLife :

He definitely deserves to be in the running for the argument for one of the greatest leader/generals of all time, and the only reason he gets passed over in the discussion because of how short a time he ruled for

hhhhh :

The Kurgan :

he didnt wear a mask as he didnt want to hide his illness. This made him, as it is mentioned by his tutor, admired by many as a result of being so open about his illness.

Najeeb Khan :

Kingdom of Heaven should only be watched in director’s cut format

Ryan :

Kingdom of Heaven is one my favorite movies. You gotta watch the directors cut. Theatrical cut feels incomplete in comparison. It adds back so much missing subtext especially about Sabilla because it includes her son, Baldwin V.

When I was 16…

I’ve done a lot of research about king Baldwin very motivational especially how he was a man of God and his faith everyone can learn something from him

BBQBaoBun :

I still think about the “A king can move a man, but the soul belongs to the man” exchange. It weirdly keeps me grounded, and makes me care less about the worlds pressures to do this or that. I’m not religious but it’s good advice. I wonder, did he ever say or write something similar?

one the greatest warrior of God ever!!!
