Baldwin had fallen ill in 1117.

Convinced that the sickness was due to his bigamous marriage to Adelaide, he had sent Adelaide back to Sicily, much to her disgust.

Baldwin had recovered, however, and in 1118 he marches into Egypt and plunders Pelusium.

Afterward, he catches and eats many fish, and falls ill once again.

Baldwin is carried back to Jerusalem on a litter but dies on the way on April 2 at the village of Al-Arish.
