| '''Baldwin II of Jerusalem''' (c. 1060 – 21 August 1131), formerly '''Baldwin II of Edessa''', born '''Baldwin of Rethel''', was the {{Wiki|County of Edessa|Count of Edessa}} from 1100 to 1118 and {{Wiki|Kingdom of Jerusalem|King of Jerusalem}} from 1118 to his death.
| |
| | |
| By 1119, [[Hugues de Payens]], the leader of the secret [[Templars|Templar Order]], planned to turn the organization public. He proposed to Baldwin that the Order be founded to protect pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. Approving this, Baldwin gave [[Al-Aqsa Mosque]] to the Templars as a headquarters.
