Abstract

The article focuses on the political instability and succession struggles in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the reign of Baldwin IV, which contributed to its eventual fall. Topics include factional rivalries over succession and the rise of Guy of Lusignan, the military and political challenges posed by Saladin, and how leadership tensions and dynastic weakness undermined the kingdom's stability.
