Someone wrote : " As is sometimes depicted by films and paintings, Baldwin would wear an iron mask to hide the hideous boils and sores that covered his face. [citation needed]"
I have deleted it - since there is NO historical mentioning of this, neither in writing nor in historical depiction of Baldwin IV. It only happened in a film called "the kingdom of heaven " and is historically incorrect.

Something in this article seems contradictory. From the battle description:
Saladin and his troops entered Chastellet. By 30 August 1179, the Muslim invaders had pillaged the castle at Jacob’s Ford and killed most of its residents. On the same day, less than one week after reinforcements were called, Baldwin and his supporting army set out from Tiberias, only to discover smoke permeating the horizon directly above Chastellet. Obviously, they were too late to save the 700 knights, architects, and construction workers who were killed and the other 800 who were taken captive
If "most" were killed why were their more captives than casualties? There is a citation, but I don't have the book. Is this unclear or contradictory? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.47.217.42 (talk) 19:20, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
