As usual, Pierre Aubé gives us here a very good biography of a little known king and whose tragic fate touches us even after so many centuries. Ideal to understand the beginning of the decline of the Frankish kingdom of Jerusalem. Better than the Ridley Scott film "Kingdom of Heaven", you will be at the heart of this kingdom and its contradictions by reading this book and the energy expended by the Leper King will make you admire the will and honor possessed Baudouin. By the way, some P.Aubé puts record straight about the Middle Ages so often maligned and we perceive deformed way. A masterful job like other books P.Aubé.
