Hugh of Fauquembergues on 15August 1096, and RobertII of Flanders about a month later. After Baldwin seized Edessa on 9 March 1098, Hugh settled in the county that developed around the town. He was one of Baldwin's most trusted retainers. After Godfrey of Bouillon, who had become the ruler of Jerusalem, died on 18July 1100, Baldwin sent Hugh to Jerusalem to secure his claim to Godfrey's inheritance. Hugh and Robert, Bishop of Lydda and Ramla took control of the Tower of David, enabling Baldwin to enter Jerusalem on 9November. Baldwin was crowned king on 25 December 1100.

When Constantine I died, Leo’s brother Thoros I succeeded him; Leo may have ruled in the eastern part of “the Mountains” during the lifetime of his brother (although the basis of this proposition is not known). Sometime between 1100 and 1103, Count Baldwin II of Edessa gave his sister in marriage to Leo; but the name and origin of his wife are not known with certainty. It is also possible that his wife was Baldwin II’s sister-in-law, a daughter of the Armenian Gabriel of Melitene.
