Baldwin V was a medieval king who ruled the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1185 to 1186. He was the son of Baldwin IV, who suffered from leprosy, and became king at a young age after his father's death. Baldwin V's reign was marked by political instability and the ongoing threat from Saladin, the Muslim leader who sought to reclaim Jerusalem. Due to his young age and health issues, Baldwin V's rule was heavily influenced by regents, including Raymond III of Tripoli. His reign ended when he died in 1186, leading to a succession crisis and further weakening the Latin Kingdom, which ultimately fell to Saladin in 1187.
