 | | According to William of Tyre, Godfrey may have supported Daimbert's efforts, and, if the crusader conquest could be extended to Egypt, would have exchanged a theocratic kingdom in Jerusalem for a secular one in Cairo, but during his short reign the rudiments of a secular state were also established. |
 | | Godfrey died of an illness in July 1100, and in Jerusalem, his brother Baldwin of Boulogne was elected to succeed him, against the ambitions of Daimbert, who had in the meantime become Latin Patriarch. |
 | | Baldwin expanded the kingdom even further, capturing the port cities of Acre (1104), Beirut (1110), and Sidon (1111), while also exerting his suzerainty over the other Crusader states to the north – the County of Edessa (which he had founded), the Principality of Antioch, and, after Tripoli was captured in 1109, the County of Tripoli. |
