About Baldwin II of Jerusalem

Baldwin II, also known as Baldwin of Bourcq, was the count of Edessa from 1100 to 1118 and the king of Jerusalem from 1120 until his death. He accompanied his kinsmen, the brothers Godfrey of Bouillon and Baldwin of Boulogne, to the Holy Land during the First Crusade. He became the second count of Edessa when the first count, Baldwin of Boulogne, left the county for Jerusalem following Godfrey's death. He was captured at the Battle of Harran in 1104. He was held first by Sökmen of Mardin, then by Jikirmish of Mosul, and finally by Jawali Saqawa. During Baldwin's captivity, Prince Tancred of Antioch and Richard of Salerno governed Edessa as his regents.
