It’s started getting more interesting. It got more into Baldwin’s life, more on his family at first. Talking about his mother and past marriages, and finding Sibylla a husband because of Baldwin’s diagnosis. It mentions about his diagnosis from Baldwin’s teacher William of Tyre. When Amalric died, there was no choice but to crown Baldwin. Even though they didn’t want him to be crowned.

It goes more into baldwin’s mother, describing her. Then Raymond of Tripoli.
Baldwin’s leprosy started getting worse as he got older and it got more obvious he had it. It started scaring the servants and maids with his face.
