The Kingdom of Jerusalem was a short lived country established in the 12th century by the First Crusade.
The kingdom came into being with the Crusader capture of Jerusalem in 1099. Godfrey of Bouillon refused, however, to take the title of King, saying that no man should wear a crown where Christ had worn his crown of thorns; instead, he took the title Defender of the Holy Sepulchre. But Godfrey died the next year, and his brother and successor, Baldwin I, was not so scrupulous, having himself immediately crowned King of Jerusalem.
The first King was Baldwin 1(1100-1118), and the last was Henry 11 (1285-1291)
