In this video, I tell the story of a historical character who has appeared as a supporting character a few times on the channel, such as in the episode about Saladin. Anyone who watched Ridley Scott's film Crusade will remember that king of Jerusalem who was all covered up and wore a mask: Baldwin IV, the most famous of the kings of Jerusalem. He managed to defend the Crusader kingdom in the Holy Land against Saladin's attacks despite having a debilitating health problem: he suffered from leprosy, known today as Hansen's disease or Hansen's disease, a disease that at the time was considered a divine curse.
