Godfrey of Bouillon (1060-1104) Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri (1099-1104)
During his reign, Godfrey had to defend the new Kingdom of Jerusalem against Fatimid Egypt and faced opposition from Dagobert of Pisa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, who was allied with Tancred, Prince of Galilee. The second question was solved in 1100, when Godfrey put the Kingdom under the protection of Pope Pope Paschal II. The first issue took longer to settle. The campaign of 1101 came close to capture Ascalon, but Raymond of Tripoli's effort to secure the city for himself rather than give it to Godfrey saved the city, as the siege came to naught.
When Godfrey died in 1104, his kingdom passed to his younger brother, Baldwin, count of Edessa, who became Baldwin I of Jerusakem.
