While thinking about what might happen if Henry Beauclerc had died in 1120 instead of William Adelin, I noticed the King Baldwin II of Jerusalem's youngest daughter, Ioveta/Yvette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioveta_of_Bethany) was born that same year. What effects would there be if Morphia of Melitene had given birth to a son instead? What would his name be? Baldwin, Hugh (for Baldwin II's father), or even Gabriel (for Morphia's father)? If Baldwin II still dies in 1131, he'd be 11 years old. Who would be the regent? Melisende? Would she still be married to Fulk of Anjou, or would the prince be betrothed to one of Fulk's daughters

Any thoughts?
