@@vincentnin1 That's true, but these are true regardless of location. During the American Civil War the carnage was so ridiculous and it took place in people's farms and backyards. There are accounts of farm animals especially hogs just eating the dead bodies. Free State of Jones depicts this but not many others.

One of the most stupid decisions of the crusaders was to attack Saladin without knowing where he was. That's why they all died, and that's why Jerusalem fell

Tiberias knights ended up on Rhodes island my home there the build a spectacular castle witch stands to this day the lasted for nearly 300+ years before the Othomans took the island
Tiberias is based on Raymond the Count of Tripoli and Tiberia. If I remember correctly he did not forsake the kingdom, but died a few years after Jerusalem taken.
And the survivors moved to Malta, to continue harassing the ottomans, and when the ottomans came yet again, they successfully beat them back this time, and the knights are still on that island to this day, what a group of champs.

I can't imaging the King lead his army marching in the sizzling dessert without enough water supply. He acted like a child claiming himself a King of a sand fortress.
The movie does not depict the tactical masterpiece Salah al din had employed at this battle by setting bushes and shrubs ablaze and filling up the wells in the area with dirt which massively contributed dehydration of Frankish troops. Hence the lopsided casualty count. Also heavy armors of Europeans did not help either.
@@mersedmuratovic3819 ah yes, dirting the well. That little effort of filling the well with dirt truly made huge impact in any medieval dessert warfare. Not to mention the hardliners (from both sides) who always recklessly demand a more aggressive approach without thinking the preparation and logistics. Must be pure headache to discuss a war tactic with them in the team
@@rkadi6540 you ever tried doing anything when dehydrated? Combine that with smoke inhalation, heavy armour, shield and weapon and even a simple task of lifting your hand becomes hard. Did I say anything about logistics of crusaders? Do we have any documents on their provisions before they set of to meet the opposing army? The facts are that crusaders were thirsty and tactics employed by Salah al Din were masterful for the situation that the battle called for.
The character Irons is playing here is Historical Fiction, and is basically a stand in for Raymond III, Count of Tripoli. Raymond never actually left the Levant, but rather, fought alongside Balian and Guy de Lusignan, who were actually on the same side btw 😂, at the Battle of Hatrin, and later died in Tripoli following Jerusalem's capture by Islamic forces.
@@MrLeovdmeer well in real history they were executed because they were the fiercest warriors in Christendom and wouldn’t convert to Islam, not because they massacred innocents (like reynald)

1177, the Battle of Montgisard: "Exactly one week after he had crossed over from Egypt, Saladin and his army were crossing a ravine near Montgisard, southeast of Jerusalem, when the Christians came crashing down on them from the north. Saladin had no idea what was coming his way. With the element of surprise on their side, the Christians, despite being incredibly outnumbered, were able to send Saladin's army from the field of battle. The victory was owed in part to the Templars and their heavy charge led by Odo de St Amand and eighty of his brethren. Ralph of Diss in chronicling an eyewitness account of the Battle of Montgisard wrote of the devastating effect of the Templars' charge: 'Spurring all together, as one man, they [the Templars] made a charge, turning neither to the left nor to the right. Recognizing the battalion in which Saladin commanded many knights, they manfully approached it, immediately penetrated it, incessantly knocked down, scattered, struck and crushed. Saladin was smitten with admiration, seeing his men dispersed everywhere, everywhere turned in flight, everywhere given to the mouth of the sword.' Many of Saladin's men left the field, those who had the courage to hold their positions were all but destroyed by the Christians. Soon the Egyptian army was in flight, abandoning not only the booty they had captured as the pillaged their way towards Jerusalem, but also many of their own weapons. If the humiliation in the field was not enough, the journey home only added to it. As the army crossed the Sinai Desert, they were regularly harassed by Bedouins, while others who stopped in villages to beg for food and water were slain or handed over to the Christians as captives." "Among the notables who took part in the attack, there were, in addition to Baldwin IV, Raynald of Chatillon, Baldwin of Ibelin and his brother Balian, Raynald Sidon, and Joscelin of Edessa. Along with them there was also the famous relic of the Cross of Christ, normally kept in the Resurrection Basilic in Jerusalem." "While exact casualties for the Battle of Montgisard are not known, reports indicate that only ten percent of Saladin's army [10-20,000 men] returned safely to Egypt. Among the dead was the son of Saladin's nephew, Taqi ad-Din. Saladin only escaped the slaughter by riding a racing camel to safety. For the Crusaders, approximately 1,100 were killed and 750 wounded."

Perfect Summer Soldier. When the battle gets tough he breaks all his oaths, all bonds of fellowship and abandoned everything and everyone he claimed to believe in. Most wretched character in the movie.
Yes absolutely. Especially knights armor and weapons would have been significantly higher quality. Looting dead soldiers was a type of payment for the winning army. Royalty and army leaders might have been spared from looting depending who the opposing side was. And their bodies would be offered to be returned as a sign of chivalry.

@@warriorking0723 you do realize that in real life the real Tiberias or Raymond of Tripoli was in the fight. He's one of the only ones that manage to escape. He died later due to the injuries.
yes they got slaughtered because the army marched without water there leader was a real dumbass saladin just waited until they started dying from dehydration then wiped em out in the hot desert wearing metal armour lmao
There is no way those dead bodies would have anything on them that long after the battle. The soldiers on the winning side would have been busy stripping the soldiers of everything valuable. Weapons, armor, but even their clothes would have been taken. Movies always seem to get this wrong and love showing a battlefield that is full of dead armored men with weapons lying everywhere though. Even if they had to move and didn't have time to take much, looters would often follow armies in the hopes of getting rich.
Isn‘t it very out of character for Tiberias to abandon the people of Jerusalem? He is NOT the kind of guy to run in times of need. I never understood that, I found it to be one of the few weak points of the plot.
BECAUSE he didn't in real life. He was leading the front of the army, he manage to escape but the injuries got to him later. He was the only one saying they should not head towards to Hattin, even if his own wife was sieged inside Tiberias. He wasn't listened to.
Well, there was no God in the Crusades. It was a false call from the Pope in Vatican. 😂 That pope deceived a lot of people for an easy salvation of their souls
Many Muslims sought shelter in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, and the Temple Mount area generally. According to the Gesta Francorum, speaking only of the Temple Mount area, "...[our men] were killing and slaying even to the Temple of Solomon, where the slaughter was so great that our men waded in blood up to their ankles..." According to Raymond of Aguilers, also writing solely of the Temple Mount area, " in the Temple and porch of Solomon men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins." Writing about the Temple Mount area alone, Fulcher of Chartres, who was not an eyewitness to the Jerusalem siege because he had stayed with Baldwin in Edessa at the time, says: "In this temple 10,000 were killed. Indeed, if you had been there you would have seen our feet coloured to our ankles with the blood of the slain. But what more shall I relate? None of them were left alive; neither women nor children were spared."[22]
that was the first crusade. This film is about the third. Also as an explanation the first crusade it was mainly made up of prison inmates offered redemption and gold to retake the holy land. So no surprise a bunch of criminals slaughtered thousands.
Because he was fighting a rich man's war, and not for God. He said in the movie that he was ashamed. There are lots of historical wars that were fought for something darker under the guise of a noble cause.
until to this day, I don't feel christianity in the modern world feels like more of a business, reason I stop going to church I'd rather pray by myself rather go to these people that preaches for nothing
god never care about how written his name. cares about what is purpose and what is the will behind. recommend... never put your minds games on his name. God or god... show your respect with your doings.
@@pandabear1576 believe me that entity does not care... you know what I mean... do not force you grammar centeric person, you just lose your mind and creativity.
"God wills it". What a bunch of complete nonsense. If there is a god, which I doubt very, very much, he did not willed stuff like this, any more than did allah (whose existence i also doubt).
While this movie was visually great, the actor's performance was also great, it unfortunately, severely lacked in historical accuracy. A crusader would never doubt the will of god and have this bleak atheist post modern look on faith. And almost all protagonists display such view in this movie. And the ones that don't, are the antagonists, the evil templars willing to go to war. This simply did not happen in such manner.
I don't agree that Tiberias has a "atheistic" view. Nor is it post-modern in any way. He simply feels that the purpose he had when coming to the levant has become hollow, corrupted by greed and ambitious men. There are contemporary writers that noted this by the third crusade, with the notion being even more wide spread by the more infamous fourth crusade.
@@Boon2Dock You would perhaps be correct, if it was only this character. However, Balian repeatedly says things like "god does not know me, I'm outside god's grace" and more. The hospitaler knight also remarks, that he "puts no stock in religion". The only faithfull christians are templars and the bishop and they are portrayed as villains.
@@Overwatch9 The hospitalier puts no stock in religion because he thinks that the relationship with God is a personal one, not one driven by a corrupt church (see indulgences). Balina says what he says because he goes to the temple mount and thinks that just because he's there God should be as well. The hospitalier responds with saying that God will know you through your good deeds, not by simply wlking up a hill. The Bishop and the templars are the least faithful christians in the story.
@@Boon2Dock There is also a scene in the extended cut, where a bush catches fire and Balian expresses further doubts to the Hospitaler. My point is, a crusader would have never doubted the existence of god, faith or even the righteousness of the church. He would not be against the killing of the infidels (muslims), and the Templars were never ever hanged for raiding the arabs. There is a series of videos, titled "historical accuracies of KOH" made by a channel called Real Crusades History, I believe. I strongly advise watching it.
@@Overwatch9 Saying people that lived a thousand years ago would never do x or say y is a bit presumptuous, people are people. This isn't the first crusade. Balian isn't a crusader, he is pilgrim with who's wife was abused by a priest. Of course he would express doubts, othetwise his character would be pretty unlikable.

Actually, the Crusades were fought as retaliation to about four hundred years of Muslim aggression, murder, rape and conquest, but whatever you need to say to shoehorn your message in, I guess.

He still should have helped balian. Even though Jerusalem was practically lost he and his knights still could have helped balian to save the people.
Seeing the thing he fought for throughout his life being lost , anyone would be broken enough just to abandon
@@warriorking0723 you do realize that in real life the real Tiberias or Raymond of Tripoli was in the fight. He's one of the only ones that manage to escape. He died later due to the injuries.
templars got slaughtered.. aight imma head out
yes they got slaughtered because the army marched without water there leader was a real dumbass saladin just waited until they started dying from dehydration then wiped em out in the hot desert wearing metal armour lmao
There is no way those dead bodies would have anything on them that long after the battle. The soldiers on the winning side would have been busy stripping the soldiers of everything valuable. Weapons, armor, but even their clothes would have been taken. Movies always seem to get this wrong and love showing a battlefield that is full of dead armored men with weapons lying everywhere though. Even if they had to move and didn't have time to take much, looters would often follow armies in the hopes of getting rich.
There were symbol of cross in their uniform. They will not take it
Betration in battle or war is a crime responsible for those people for dojokh and to much betration is road to whole army of that time.
In real battle .. Bailan were on rear and flee after battle was lost
Isn‘t it very out of character for Tiberias to abandon the people of Jerusalem? He is NOT the kind of guy to run in times of need. I never understood that, I found it to be one of the few weak points of the plot.
BECAUSE he didn't in real life. He was leading the front of the army, he manage to escape but the injuries got to him later. He was the only one saying they should not head towards to Hattin, even if his own wife was sieged inside Tiberias. He wasn't listened to.
Tiberias should've became the king after baldwin
they left jerusalem and went to quebec
Rumor has it that he went to Israel.
Tiberius: He is no longer with me…
Me: BLASPHEMY!!!

Leaving traitors on their own, is always a good desicion...
Many Muslims sought shelter in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock, and the Temple Mount area generally. According to the Gesta Francorum, speaking only of the Temple Mount area, "...[our men] were killing and slaying even to the Temple of Solomon, where the slaughter was so great that our men waded in blood up to their ankles..." According to Raymond of Aguilers, also writing solely of the Temple Mount area, " in the Temple and porch of Solomon men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins." Writing about the Temple Mount area alone, Fulcher of Chartres, who was not an eyewitness to the Jerusalem siege because he had stayed with Baldwin in Edessa at the time, says: "In this temple 10,000 were killed. Indeed, if you had been there you would have seen our feet coloured to our ankles with the blood of the slain. But what more shall I relate? None of them were left alive; neither women nor children were spared."[22]
Just pure evil
that was the first crusade. This film is about the third. Also as an explanation the first crusade it was mainly made up of prison inmates offered redemption and gold to retake the holy land. So no surprise a bunch of criminals slaughtered thousands.
@@DeathDeliveryGuy nope moron!

No.
Honestly it didn't make sense that Tiberias just abandoned Jerusalem.
Historical facts says he did, and to Cypress
Because he was fighting a rich man's war, and not for God. He said in the movie that he was ashamed.
There are lots of historical wars that were fought for something darker under the guise of a noble cause.
@@flatearthisahoax4030 well - he *fought* a rich mans war yes. But by now all the richmans were dead. Who were left were... the people.

god never care about how written his name. cares about what is purpose and what is the will behind. recommend... never put your minds games on his name. God or god... show your respect with your doings.

Best movie ever!!! well director cut version
A coward to run in sneaky aristocratic way
A token can be loose,But there r still some good people,Who makes Vatican City.
"God wills it". What a bunch of complete nonsense. If there is a god, which I doubt very, very much, he did not willed stuff like this, any more than did allah (whose existence i also doubt).
Check out the big brain on Jimmy!
While this movie was visually great, the actor's performance was also great, it unfortunately, severely lacked in historical accuracy. A crusader would never doubt the will of god and have this bleak atheist post modern look on faith. And almost all protagonists display such view in this movie. And the ones that don't, are the antagonists, the evil templars willing to go to war. This simply did not happen in such manner.
I don't agree that Tiberias has a "atheistic" view. Nor is it post-modern in any way. He simply feels that the purpose he had when coming to the levant has become hollow, corrupted by greed and ambitious men. There are contemporary writers that noted this by the third crusade, with the notion being even more wide spread by the more infamous fourth crusade.
@@Boon2Dock You would perhaps be correct, if it was only this character. However, Balian repeatedly says things like "god does not know me, I'm outside god's grace" and more. The hospitaler knight also remarks, that he "puts no stock in religion". The only faithfull christians are templars and the bishop and they are portrayed as villains.
@@Overwatch9 The hospitalier puts no stock in religion because he thinks that the relationship with God is a personal one, not one driven by a corrupt church (see indulgences). Balina says what he says because he goes to the temple mount and thinks that just because he's there God should be as well. The hospitalier responds with saying that God will know you through your good deeds, not by simply wlking up a hill. The Bishop and the templars are the least faithful christians in the story.
@@Boon2Dock There is also a scene in the extended cut, where a bush catches fire and Balian expresses further doubts to the Hospitaler.
My point is, a crusader would have never doubted the existence of god, faith or even the righteousness of the church. He would not be against the killing of the infidels (muslims), and the Templars were never ever hanged for raiding the arabs. There is a series of videos, titled "historical accuracies of KOH" made by a channel called Real Crusades History, I believe. I strongly advise watching it.
@@Overwatch9 Saying people that lived a thousand years ago would never do x or say y is a bit presumptuous, people are people. This isn't the first crusade. Balian isn't a crusader, he is pilgrim with who's wife was abused by a priest. Of course he would express doubts, othetwise his character would be pretty unlikable.
🤔
This is the time when chrislam lose it’s first right in Jerusalem.
What right Jerusalem is for Muslims and you tried to occupy Jerusalem !!
truly? You speak with confidence that you have a right to the place you occupied 😂
U lost it by 1800,Now 3rd right.
damn Renald and guy, that's trash
If u trully want it then go in my,Accept that u loose u r right in Jerusalem for end of earth,and take the 3rd right of Alaska mosque.Only see the symbol of love.
When I see touch of Alaska mosque see Jews feel of that love,When I see chrislams in around Alaska mosque I see think of that rock and when I see Muslim paying in that mosque I see like for that mosque.
Actually, the Crusades were fought as retaliation to about four hundred years of Muslim aggression, murder, rape and conquest, but whatever you need to say to shoehorn your message in, I guess.

Could have been a better film. Alright for a Sunday night filler but it’s so boring. I think this made people question putting Orlando bloom as the main actor in films because he is terrible. Stick to playing magic elves Orlando
👌👌👌
The Director's Cut is far far better
Even being into the time period, this movie was boring. We watched it in school, thats how you know its not going to be what you expect.
Far greater than crap can still be garbage.
I forgot this movie came out after Lord of the Rings. Knowing the history, I feel like this is just a waste of time and supposed to show you how bad the Crusades really was, it makes saladin look good but he was in the 3rd crusade and I thought this movie was about the 1st or 2nd
@@ravinraven6913 This movie is about the fall of the kingdom of Jerusalem which triggered the 3rd crusade in the first place. You even see Richard the Lionheart at the end. I do agree it shows too much positive bias in favour of muslims, but it was a stunning visual representation of the period, the action was great and it had good drama. Balanced experience
@@kimok4716 it was average. The costumes and scenery and all that were good and the action scenes but were very limited but the story telling and pacing was terrible. If they had of stuck to the accuracy it probs would have been a better story. It’s Orlando bloom I cringe every time he takes a lead role.
