The author puts in appraisal of her own, and that creates, hm, peculiar style of the article.

... hehe, look at it, one of the paragraphs is called "Shameless Guy".

Yeah, and "an adventurer"! But I think that's true in some way ;)

LOL =)))
Yeah, she calls Baldwin "our hero" and "our sickly hero", if i choose a right word.

Ha! And there is this passage:
"It is often questioned why didn't the church canonize this virgin king and martyr as he had done a great deal for Christianity and had lead exceptionally pious life" (c)

Well i would dispute about the arguments given.

sorry i'm dull, your "but" puzzles me))

Eh well, I'd be the first in a queue of those suggesting to canonize him)) But was his life "exceptionally pious" and what was that great deal for Christianity?.. I wonder.

Maybe she means that he kept Jerusalem in Christian hands?
