You see, Sibylla actually loved Guy enough as to fight to make him a king, even if the barons of the kingdom were against him. However, he was not only a political opponent of her husband (Guy de Lusignan), but also of HERS. However, the only connection of Balian and Sybilla was that he indeed helped her defend Jerusalem and negotiated its subsequent surrender to Saladin. However, being an enthusiast of the history of the crusader states, I would like to mention some historical facts and accuracies that generated the film.įor a start, all the main characters of the film are historical figures, from Balian to the unfortunate Baldwin IV (oftenly referred as 'Baldwin the Leper'). Kingdom of Heaven is an entertaining and spectacular film, to say the least. In Jerusalem at that moment-between the Second and Third Crusades-a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from fighting in the East.

Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. The religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama.

A blacksmith named Balian has lost his family and nearly his faith. It is the time of the Crusades during the Middle Ages - the world shaping 200-year collision between Europe and the East.
