Summary/Abstract: The anonymous description of the life of Emperor Baldwin I, presented in this study, is a particularly interesting text with some of the details it provides about the events of 1204–1206. Although researchers cannot rely entirely on the data contained in it, the excerpt adds some details that clarify the way the Latin Empire was built in its first years. The information it provides about Bulgarian history is not new but confirms facts already known and thus offers a more reliable support to the researchers in the reconstruction of the events from the beginning of the 13th century.
