It is often useful to search Wikipedia as a starting-point.
The article on the Kingdom of Jerusalem has a booklist at the end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Jerusalem |

The classic text on this would be Flavius Josephus _Antiquities of the Jews_.
Available from Project Gutenberg, but w/o the classic old engravings: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2848 William (who really should find the time to scan the images in his copy) |

I've just consulted a medieval historian over lunch.
There isn't one book about the kings. And there were a number of Queens too. Here's a list and brief account, from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Jerusalem Try one of these to read more: Bernard Hamilton, "Women in the Crusader States: The Queens of Jerusalem", in Medieval Women, edited by Derek Baker. Ecclesiastical History Society, 1978 Bernard Hamilton, The Leper King and his Heirs: Baldwin IV and the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem (Cambridge University Press, 2000). Zehava Jacoby, “The Tomb of Baldwin V, King of Jerusalem (1185-1186) and the Workshop of the Temple Area”, in Gesta, 18 (1979), pp. 3-14. Steven Runciman, A History of the Crusades, vol. II: The Kingdom of Jerusalem (Cambridge University A primary source: William of Tyre, A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea. E. A. Babcock and A. C. Krey, trans. (Columbia University Press, 1943). |

Well, here's something to start with:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook1k.html You'll need Latin for the western sources, Greek for the Byzantine ones, and Arabic for the Saracen and Islamic sources. Have fun. |

HarryT, thanks for the correction. I missed the Crusades aspect.

No problem! Completely agree with you about Josephus for the ancient history; he's a wonderful writer.
