King Baldwin IV is in a bit of a pickle. He's dying of leprosy, but unfortunately, there are very few options for a suitable successor. There are Sibylla, his sister, and his nephew, Baldwin V. There's Guy de Lusignan, the first cousin to the King Henry II of England and married to Sibylla. And then there's Raynald of Chatillon, a noble pirate (of sorts). And all of them are vying to be the next king of Jerusalem. You know, while it's under siege in the middle of a crusade.
