This was evaluated by Murray in his study of the Crusader Kingdom
of Jerusalem. The whole question is complex. There is no
document in which Godfrey uses any title with respect to his role
in Jerusalem. He is described by various contemporaries as
princeps, rex, or advocatus. However, when viewed in their
individual contexts, reaching a definitive conclusion from any of
these sources seems problematic.
