What title did Godfrey prefer instead of king?
Duke
Emperor
Advocate
Baron
Answer
The title of "Advocate" held greater significance for Godfrey of Bouillon than the coveted title of "king." As a devout Catholic and staunch advocate of the Church, he saw himself primarily as a protector and defender of the Christian faith in the Holy Land. This humble and selfless disposition differentiated him from other leaders of the First Crusade, who sought personal glory and temporal power.
