TENTH
History counts nine Crusades. TENTH is the tenth: the one believers fight now, for faith, family and the Church. Gear for the modern crusader, led by King Baldwin IV, the Leper King who rode out anyway.
Baldwin IV.
Crowned King of Jerusalem at thirteen, already sick with leprosy. He covered his face with a silver mask and kept the throne.
His hands failed.
His grip didn't.
The disease took his hands and his sight a little more every year. He kept leading anyway.
He knelt first.
Sixteen years old, before about 375 knights, he knelt before the True Cross. Saladin's army was many times larger.
He rode anyway.
And won.
The king still
has an army.
History counts nine Crusades. The tenth is the one we fight now, for faith, family and the Church.

Why TENTH
Strong is not
hateful.
Christ taught us to love our neighbor and our enemy. He also taught us to stand firm, resist sin, and never be ashamed of his name.
Why it's called TENTH
Historians count nine Crusades, from 1096 to 1272. TENTH is the next one, and it's ours. It isn't fought with swords. It's fought by standing firm in the faith, protecting your family, defending the Church and refusing to be ashamed of Christ in public. Every piece in this collection is gear for that fight.
Who Baldwin was
Baldwin IV was crowned King of Jerusalem in 1174 at thirteen, already sick with leprosy. At sixteen he led about 375 knights against Saladin's army at Montgisard on November 25, 1177, after kneeling before the True Cross, and won. He kept leading until his body gave out, and died at twenty-three. He is the center of TENTH: faith that keeps showing up when it costs everything.
Why the Crusades
By 1095 the Christian East had been under attack for decades. Pilgrims were being killed on the road to Jerusalem, and Byzantium asked the West for help. The men who answered left everything to defend Christians and the holy places. That is the mindset this collection carries: defend what is yours to guard, and keep going when it costs you.
What TENTH is not
TENTH is not a hate brand, and it is not a political or racial movement. We stand against no people for their race or where they were born. We stand for Christ, for the Church and for our families, and we stand against sin, starting with our own.
What we are defending now
The faith passed down to us, our homes, and the courage to say so in public. Hold the line.
