I recently made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land for Easter. It was... Bernard of Chartres once said we're dwarves standing on the shoulders of giants. That's what it was like. You could feel everyone who came before from the modern world, to the medieval, to the ancient and classical, and the time of Christ... It was humbling. I've been following y'all channel for a while. Y'all fight the good fight because it's already won. Keep up the great work.

It’s interesting to consider that he may not have grown up so noble without the leprosy. Many of the great leaders, like Abe Lincoln who grew up working alongside black laborers and slaves as his labor was sold by his father, are instilled with an empathy and purpose through those sufferings. The pretensions and vain excesses lose their appeal, and what truly matters comes into sharper focus. This is frequently the end result when one is forced by tragedy or strife to confront one’s own limitations and mortality that, should they be overcome, will yield them a honed sense of self and purpose which will better steel them against future challenges than any teaching or tangible resources ever could. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many of the great leaders of the past struggled through their early life, and so many megalomaniacal disasters had a charmed and easy upbringing.

Wow !! Thanks for sharing an interesting and exciting piece of history. I'm glad you referenced some of the video pics with a mention of "The Kingdom of Heaven". That seems like something definitely worth watching. Well done.

al meggs It’s an outrage that British history isn’t taught in school now. Our young people know very little of their history or the politics behind it.

There's something special about coupling this historical retelling and visuals with the dreamlike, almost psychadelic rock in the background. Really wished you posted sources for the instrumentals used here but otherwise very great video.

Suberb video. Bravo. According to genealogy, I am related to Balwin through his grandfather Fulk V, King of Jerusalem who is my 26th great-grandfather. Incredible.

Fulk V of Anjou (Foulques V d'Anjou) but not Fulk V, king of Jerusalem. He is the first Fulk to govern Jerusalem, but he does not wear the official title of king. He was the husband of Queen Melisende, daughter of the King of Jerusalem, Baldwin II (Baudouin II). Fulk is the son of the Count of Anjou, Fulk IV (Foulques IV d'Anjou). It is not therefore as king, but as Count of Anjou that his name is Fulk V (Foulques V of Anjou). But that does not change your story. Incredible! Your Majesty! ;)
