As a mark of his love for his wife, Baldwin II had postponed his coronation until Christmas Day 1119 so that Morphia and his daughters could travel to Jerusalem and so that the queen could be crowned alongside him.
As the new king, Baldwin II had been encouraged to put away Morphia in favor of a new younger wife with better political connections-one that could yet bear him a male heir.
By the time of his election as king, Baldwin II and Morphia already had three daughters.
For her part, Morphia did not interfere in the day to day politics of Jerusalem, but demonstrated her ability to take charge of affairs when events warranted it.
"Morphia" is an older official term for morphine also used as a slang term. "Driving Miss Emma" is intravenous administration of morphine.
