Who was the first king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, after the took by the Crusaders of the City ?

I was not sure "precis" was accurate French.
I would have have included an accent,
but I don't think my keyboard is capable.

I cannot recall this king at the moment.

I'll think about it, and if no one else gets it,
I'll do a google if it has not come to me.

 

[padisha emperor]

aaah, ok

"précis" does exist. it's an adjective.
in this case, the correct word was "précisemment" .

(you don't have accent on your keyboard ?)


Giant hint : His name was the name of a belgian King of the XXth c, and his title is the name of a french city, where Napoleon puted his camp when he wanted to invade UK, in 1805 (so, it is : "Name" of "name of city" )

If there is a way to insert accents on my keyboard,
I do not know of it.

The only crusader state monarch I have been able to think of
is "Baldwin", who may not have been king of Jerusalem,
and who does not fit your hints.

There were no kings named Calais, Dunkirk, Le Havre, or Cherbourg,
were there?!

Maybe King Brest?

Big guess, here, Justinian?

Sounds right to me. But what do I know, without my books?

 

[IControlThePast]

Well I was wrong about the women in history thing. Justinian did almost no work on his lawcode, while I believe his wife contributed a lot to it. Justinian just got the credit.

 

[Annie]

Well, do we have an answer, thus a new question?

 

[IControlThePast]

Well I've got a spare question for my correct nobel presidents answer, so I'll ask:

This cartel entered into an agreement with Standard Oil not to build refineries for hydrogenating coal if Standard didn't do research into hydrogenating coal.

The cartel didn't keep its word and built refineries to produce rubber for the Germans in World War Two, even using some concentration camp labor. Standard, however, was quick to bail them out after the war despite the broken agreement. A US panel ruled that Standard's agreement greatly contributed to the early German military successes.

I'll give you guys some hints if you need them.

Montesquieu fits the description.
