      Its a more stable replacement of him being dying from his illness rather than appointing a new KING, when people were in favor of Baldwin (his illness was hidden from the public). ITS just a political move and that's iT.

The nobles may not have wanted Baldwin to leave but they definitely did not want Guy to succeed him.

    Leprosy is such a fascinating historical disease. Mycobacterium leprae is so slow-growing, manifesting the characteristic skin lesions can take so long (most mycobacterium skin infections carry uniquely painless ulcers). To have carried the stigma of disease with dignity and faith, inspiring warriors who would likely be disgusted by you, all while having to be a king and military strategist, is a remarkable testament to Baldwin IV's sheer force of will and devotion to Christ. Glad to see people taking an interest in this amazing figure from history again.

Then i realised if this men went to battle with leprosy and commanded so much respect i have no excuses why i can't get up early and go work out and improme myself everyday. Truly an inspiration.

      Honestly, he may have preferred to play Minecraft and explore it's beauty and dedicate his time to creating cool things, rather than commanding armies at 16. He might have lived longer and be a wonderful king. Perhaps his illness just made him not waste time, though he couldn't really just sit and enjoy a moment.

    Baldwin IV was, indeed, the second and youngest son of King Amalric, but he was not, by any possible means, the younger brother of Baldwin III, since Baldwin III was actually Amalric's older brother (in shorter words, Baldwin III was the paternal uncle of Baldwin IV). Baldwin's older sister was Sibylla, future Queen of Jerusalem after her brother's untimely death in 1185, and her own son's (Baldwin V) in 1186.
