| | Side Effects (of living and being me) :: King Baldwin IV :: June :: 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Baldwin IV was educated by the historian William of Tyre (later Archbishop of Tyre and Chancellor of the kingdom), who made a disturbing discovery about the prince: he and his friends were playing one day, attempting to injure each other by pinching their arms, but Baldwin felt no pain. |
 | | Sibylla was being raised by her great-aunt, Ioveta or Yvette, (the youngest sister of Baldwin’s grandmother, Queen Melisende), in the convent of Bethany, and Isabella was at the court of her mother, the dowager queen Maria Comnena, in Nablus. |
 | | Baldwin also betrothed his 8-year-old half-sister Isabella to Humphrey IV of Toron, repaying a debt of honour to Humphrey’s grandfather, who had given his life for him at Banias, and removing Isabella from the control of her mother and the Ibelin faction. |
