| | Side Effects (of living and being me) :: King Baldwin IV :: June :: 2006 |
 | | As a leper, Baldwin was not expected to reign long or produce an heir, and courtiers and lords positioned themselves for influence over Baldwin’s heirs, his sister Princess Sibylla and his half-sister Princess Isabella. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Raymond’s regency ended on the second anniversary of Baldwin’s coronation: the young king was now of age. |
