Godfrey of Bouillon, the leader of the First Crusade. He was elected King of Jerusalem by the Crusaders after the Holy City's capture in 1099

July 22, 1099 marks the election of Godfrey de Bouillon as King of Jerusalem, one of the Feast Days of the Order. While his bravery and piety made him the unanimous choice of the nobles of the Crusade, he would not wear a crown of gold in the city where the Saviour wore a crown of thorns, so out of humility Godfrey declined the title of king and reigned simply as Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri (Defender of the Holy Sepulchre).

Soberana Compañía de Loyola, mensaje de este día. El hombre sabio no debe abstenerse de participar en el gobierno del Estado, pues es un delito renunciar a ser útil a los necesitados y un cobardía ceder el paso a los indignos Epicteto de Frigia.
