| abstract | - Although there are few reports of his early life, it is known he grew up in Flanders under the education of a bishop and close friend of his father's, Armand du Earcluc. He would later become courtier and good friend of Philip Augustus. In c.1180, he was betrothed to Marie of Champagne, daughter of Henry I, Count of Champagne. They would not meet for the first time until 1184. They were officially wed in 1186, at Henry's traditional manor in Flanders. Several nobles were in attendance, along with Philip II Augustus. His marshal skill ensured attendance in the Third Crusade - however issues in the homeland forced Philip to reconsider the crusade, and eventually he had his army return to France. Baldwin did not return and instead fought as a commander under Richard I the Lionheart, which would earn him the animosity of Philip. He was involved in several major battles, which heard him a stark reputation of an ironclad leader. When the Third Crusade ended in 1192, Baldwin returned to France. Baldwin's standing with Richard continued to disintegrate as the conflict between Richard and Philip became more uneasy. Baldwin resigned from Philip's court to return to his own - however Philip saw this as the ultimate betrayal and called for Baldwin's arrest on 11 May 1193. However, the two friends reconciled later that year.
