The Kingdom of Jerusalem was founded in 1099 by Godfrey of Bouillon, after the Crusaders had conquered the city of Jerusalem in a bloody way. However, Godfrey refused the title of king, and instead called himself “Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre”. After his death, his brother became the first King Baudouin I. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
