## Bio

Baldwin inherited Flanders in 1194 and Hainaut the next year, turning him into one of the Low Countries' most powerful lords. When the Fourth Crusade assembled, he joined as a leading commander, but the expedition never reached the Holy Land. In 1204 the crusaders stormed Constantinople instead, toppling the Byzantine Empire and carving out a new Latin state from its remains. Baldwin was elected its first emperor that May. The throne proved brief: in 1205 Kaloyan of Bulgaria crushed his army at Adrianople, took him captive, and Baldwin vanished into a Bulgarian prison, never seen again.
