Baldwin III
When John headed into the DETMOLD he left behind his young son Baldwin III who would be in the hands of regents.
Aachen faced changes starting in his reign. His reign was not short, but he ascended to the throne as an toddler in 1183 md. Much of his reign was dominated by SILAS MARNER COUNT OF HARZ, who served as his regent from 1183-1201. During those years Marner's conservative policies led to greater strife with the growing Vul presence in the north of the Kingdom.
Marner's policies not only stood in the way of peace they exacerbated hostilities with the Vul. This lead to much of Baldwin III's reign from 1201 until his death in 1209 in fighting with the incoming Vuls. Baldwin III under took an extensive campaign to expel the Vul, and it was during this that he died in 1209 at the BATTLE OF NORTHBERG.
