I'm so glad for this series. Thank you for making it.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

You're very welcome.

The man parroting "God wills it" is supposed to be Gerard de Ridefort. The thirtysomething man with long hair riding outside of Kerak is supposedly Humphrey of Toron. The written screenplay (not filmed or edited out) shows Isabelle, Humphrey's bride, in Kerak as 16 years old. She was almost 12 at the time.

I have never seen either the coronation of Baldwin V or the scene where the bush catches fire. I assume they are cut out when the film is shown on network TV, to make room for commercials; or are they perhaps only found in a 'director's cut'?

[@Ninjato7]

William Cooke They have to be a director's cut because I have the film on DVD and I've never seen those scenes.

[@Opinwood]

Irrespective of the film's gross historical inaccuracies, the director's cut is FAR FAR superior. it has been widely praised (google/read up on it) and is worth a watch in my opinion. At the very least, it fleshes out the characters and plugs in a few plot holes. Cheers.

Thank you for an amazing video!

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

The Hospitaller you say, the Angel I would suggest.

[@toddlewis8715]

At 3:3--4:00 Sterling Bridge had failed charge of knights? That battle was an infantry battle between Saxons and Norwegians.

[@spokoziomTHC]

+Todd Lewis I think he talks about battle of Stirling of 1297

[@toddlewis8715]

+Lord Inquisitor Yeah, must have miss-heard him. 1066 was Stamford not Sterling Bridge.

[@Sole-Witness]

Another great video.

[@FurryAminal]

Reynalds punishment opened his skin and then made him kiss Baldwin's leprous hand.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

Diden't Raynald of Châtillon kill Saladins sister?

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

No.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

@@RealCrusadesHistory I mean in the movie, not i reality, as s plot divice.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

@@RealCrusadesHistory never mind, I found this on the net. 4. _In 2005, Monahan and Scott write into the KoH script that Reynald captured and killed Saladin’s sister; either because they want to whitewash Saladin by implying that he only attacked the Franks as a result of frightful provocation (there’s no doubt that they did deliberately portray Saladin as much more peaceable than he was), or just because they want to bump up the shock-blood-and-horror quotient of the movie generally. This is the first time since 1187 that anyone at all has suggested that Reynald harmed Saladin’s sister in any way._

[@SiminaDar]

That scene didn't occur until after Guy was king later in the film.

[@user-uy1rg8td1v]

The quality of the woman's recording is so bad I can no longer listen.

[@Sforza_1994]

So?

[@Dougie_Schecter]

@@Sforza_1994 you can't read

[@adrian-vasilebud4444]

She can be understood properly with basic English knowledge, if the person listening, has enough interest for the subject.
