'''Godfrey of Bouillon''' was a [[France|French]] [[noble]] who helped capture [[Jerusalem]] in the [[First Crusade]]. After the armies had captured Jerusalem the crusaders wished to make him king of the city, but Godfrey refused this title and said "I will not wear a crown of gold wear Our Lord wore a crown of thorns." So instead he declared himself the Defender of the [[Holy Sepulcher]].
