Balian was a prick in real life...

This may have been pure hollywood history - but its still a cool film I think. I liked this fight. Kept me entertained.

Furthermore - it had a surprisingly accurate portrayal of Saladin - strong, intelligent, brave, tactically sound, faithful, and above all - an honorable and virtuous man.

As a Christian myself - I look highly upon Saladin's memory.

@guilemaster147 This was the ''neutral''... thank you. But reputable sources also said that how Salahuddin, according to his captors/crusaders/etc mention of his chivalry. I guess we all believe in which ever way we want to. :)

nice knowing you guile.

@birdingable What you described is known as ransom. This was the "neutral" behavior during this period of history. It was neither chivalrous nor nefarious, it was the default. All reputable sources say that only a portion of the Christian people in Jerusalem were able to pay the ransom or be paid for by Balian. And I doubt that most people in today's society would have sold themselves to someone who would kill you at the first chance just for a few others. It's against our nature.

@guilemaster147 just a question...

i was reading up on this article and Salahuddin was more than kind enough to let them leave, women and children even the knights. Just that they were asked to pay an amount. I'm sure we all would have done what Balian had. But not many would release women, children and eventually even those crusaders. Had we be Salahuddin. :)

A compassionate heart and showing the crusaders back then the meaning of Chivalry.

@MrSupreme10 based on what are you saying this?

[ezioaltiar22]

@silvertusk king guy got his ass kicked. and he had 2 swords for christs sake. balian is a much better swordsman

[guilemaster147]

Balian was not really a prick in real life. He was like most lords at the time, but he cared for the people a lot more than many others at that time. Saladin did not allow everyone to leave freely in reality. Balian (and the Bishop) bought as many as they could and even offered themselves up as slaves to try to free more. That is more than any of us would have done, I can assure you of that.
