 Baldwin I of Edessa - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)

Meanwhile Baldwin repelled in successive years the attacks of the Egyptians (1102, 1103, 1105), and in the latter years of his reign (1115-1118) he even pushed southward at the expense of Egypt, penetrating as far as the Red Sea, and planting an outpost at Monreal.
In this way Baldwin was able to make himself into practical suzerain of the three Christian principalities of the north, though the suzerainty was, and always continued to be, somewhat nominal.

Baldwin of Boulogne (died 1118), count of Edessa (10981100), and first king of Jerusalem (11001118), was the brother of Godfrey of Bouillon, son of Eustace II of Boulogne.
In the spring of 1101 Baldwin had Dagobert suspended by a papal legate, while later in the year the two disagreed on the question of the contribution to be made by the patriarch towards the defence of the Holy Land.
Baldwin died in 1118, after an expedition to Egypt, during which he captured Farama, and, as 17th century historian Thomas Fuller remarked, "caught many fish, and his death in eating them." His cousin Baldwin of Bourcq was chosen as successor, although the kingdom was also offered to Eustace, who did not want it.
