		The Battle of Hattin did not end in defeat just because of the heat- these soldiers have been marching in the desert for months already- a big contribution to the defeat is the retreat made by the footsoldiers leaving the horsemen to their deaths.
		The king Guy Lusignan was indeed captured along with his vassals but he was later ransomed by the French.
		Lusignan after the fall of Jerusalem became the king of Cyprus- and he ruled that place with Crown Princess Sybilla the sister of Baldwin- so the alleged romance of a Balian who has been horribly and heavily fictionalized and Sybilla is just a concoction made by the director to spice things up.
