    Okay, so I don't know anything about this era, but I have a question about the crusade that took place under King Baldwin.

    How did this all take place, I know he ruled over Jerusalem, but if they had already taken the city, why did France send another crusade?

    When Saladin layed siege to Jerusalem, was this before, or after france sent the crusade?

    If someone could clear up the timeline of how this all happened, i'd be most pleased.

    The time of king baldwin was the time of the first crusade, and the crusaders from the latin,italian and french states captured jerusalem and then the kingdom of Jerusalem was formed. France sent another crusade after the fall of jerusalem to Saladin..the second crusade.
