Duke Godfrey of Lorraine, also known as Godfrey of Bouillon, is famous for being a leader of the First Crusade (1096-1099) and for becoming the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem after its capture in 1099. He is renowned for his pious nature and his refusal to wear a crown in Jerusalem, considering it inappropriate to wear a crown of gold where Christ had worn a crown of thorns. His legacy is also marked by his role in promoting Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land and establishing the foundations of Crusader states.
