Trad West @trad_west_ - >King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem
>Contracts leprosy as a child
>Takes the throne at 13 to protect the Holy Land
>Saladin marches on Jerusalem with a massive, undefeated army
>Baldwin is 16, physically decaying, can only use one hand to hold a sword
>Rides out with a tiny fraction of the men, gets off his horse, and kneels in the sand in front of the True Cross to pray for victory
>His men are inspired beyond words
>Gets back on his horse, charges the lines, and absolutely obliterates Saladin's army at Montgisard
>Keeps the kingdom safe until his dying breath, commanding from a litter when he can no longer walk
>The ultimate Crusader King
This is the type of leader we need.
