Tips

Jean Conquer 🇫🇷🇺🇸

February 26, 2023

A Belgian figure who brought honor to the Kingdom, Godefroy de Bouillon, born around 1058 and died on July 18, 1100 in Jerusalem, was a Frankish knight and Duke of Lower Lotharingia. First sovereign of the kingdom of Jerusalem at the end of the first crusade, he refused the title of king for the more humble title of "Attorney of the Holy Sepulchre".
Respected by the Franks and the Byzantines, he also won the admiration of the Mohammedans for his integrity, his faith and his unconditional loyalty.

Godfrey of Bouillon, honored here as an equestrian statue, takes us back in time to the late 11th century; geographically, however, to the town of Bouillon, then the seat of the Duchy of Lower Lorraine (of which he was Duke) and today part of Neufchâteau in Wallonia, where a monument is also dedicated to him (if interested, see =>> komoot.com/de-de/highlight/5853588 ). In the second geographical perspective, however, this man takes us much farther away, across the Mediterranean to the Holy Land. He participated as a leading figure in the First Crusade and the conquest of Jerusalem. After the city's capture, he was to become king of the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, but he rejected such a title, arguing that the only king over Jerusalem could be Christ himself, who was crucified and buried here—and resurrected.
