Balduin (Vice Count of Nablus)

Baldwin ( lat. Balduinus , French. Baudouin ; † after 1164) was vice count of the reign of Nablus and lord of Vaux Moise .

He was the only son of Ulrich († around 1155), Vice Count of Nablus and Lord of Vaux Moise.

He followed his father on his death as Lord of Vaux Moise and in the office of Vice-Count of Nablus. As the latter, he was a court official of the Lord of Nablus and was responsible for judicial, administrative and economic use of its territory. However, he held his rule over Vaux Moise as a royal fief.

In 1158 the Vaux Moise Castle withstood a siege by the Fatimids from Egypt.

In 1161 the Lord of Nablus, Philip of Milly , exchanged the rule of Nablus with King Baldwin III. against the rule Oultrejordain , which was also incorporated into the previously independent castle and rule Vaux Moise. Baldwin remained Vice Count in Nablus, but had to give up the rule of Vaux Moise and was presumably given as a replacement the castle "Castrum Fontis Tancredi" located in his Vice-Count's district as a royal fief.

Baldwin is documented for the last time on July 16, 1164. He left behind his wife Isabella and nine children named Amalrich, Rainald, Johann, Roger, Raimund, Balian, Melisende, Gisela and Agnes. His eldest son Amalrich , followed him as Vice Count of Nablus and Lord of Castrum Fontis Tancredi.
