To those who have not watched Kingdom of Heaven, do go with low expectations and you will be pleasantly entertained like I was.

To those who have watched it already, here are some truths...

- balian is actually stepfather to sybilla and there was never an affair between them, not documented anyway.

- balian was never a child out of wedlock and in fact had two other brothers and they all grew up together and fought for the king together.

- balian's father is also called balian, not godfrey

- sybilla was actually very committed to Guy de Lusignon, as the king of jerusalem (sybilla's brother) tried anulling sybila's marriage but she refused

- sybilla was crowned as a sole queen on the condition she divorced Guy but allowed to marry her next husband of her choice. As queen, she remarried Guy and allowed him to crown himself king of Jerusalem.
