Edward Norton was adamant that his face was not used in the movie and that his name not appear in the credits. Allegedly, Norton was upset when his name was added to the credits for the video release. I don’t remember exactly why he wanted to stay under his he radar, but, I do remember his reason making total sense 🤷‍♂️

1:40 he was right about the time he had left. King Baldwin would only live to be 24 years old. Despite his affliction, he is still considered to be one of the greatest kings of his time. He is a perfect example of the phrase "it's not the body that makes the man, but the spirit"

You can see Balian hanging on every word the King said, it was a moment never to forget but also youd be so nervous that you might not match his intellect

"Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that 'virtue was not convenient at the time.' This will not suffice." I'm not a religious man but these are some pretty powerful words of self-accountability. There will always be those more powerful than you and sometimes those people in authority may ask or flat out tell you to do something you know to be wrong. "I was just following orders" is never a defense.

King Baldwin, even more than Job maybe, was the embodiment of "The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the the Lord." He didn't care what he had or what he had left, he cared only about what he must do.

Re the siege of Jerusalem in the First Crusade: "Atrocities committed against the inhabitants of cities taken by storm after a siege were normal in ancient and medieval warfare by both Christians and Muslims. The crusaders had already done so at Antioch, and Fatimids had done so themselves at Taormina, at Rometta, and at Tyre. However, it is speculated that the massacre of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, both Muslims and Jews, may have exceeded even these standards." The participants were not legendary, they were pathetic, cowardly, and lacked respect for their faith, since they intentionally slaughtered noncombatants (women and children). In modern day, they'd be called terrorists by the very definition of the word. As Christians, let's be sure to appropriately spread awareness and have shame towards the participants of such a sacrilegious endeavor in the name of our faith.

​@@HarrDarr - thanks for your inquiry. Of course, many crusaders are well known to this day. However, as Christians, the word "legendary" doesn't align with our historical or religious understanding of these figures. "Infamous" or "notorious" is more appropriate. Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin - these men are not described as "legendary" by Christians. Let the soul of any person who has committed indiscriminate mass murder of innocents be commended to God. However, let our conversations about them be devoid of reverence, in accordance with our faith and the teachings of Jesus. Here are some of those teachings, pulled from the Holy Bible. It might help to read the full verses for context, I've added the references for good measure. Deuteronomy 19:10: "That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the Lord God giveth thee" Deuteronomy 27:25: "Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person" Psalm 10:8: "In the secret places doeth he murder the innocent" Psalm 106:38: "And shed innocent blood, even blood of their sons and of their daughters,/; and polluted the land with blood" Have a great day and God bless you.

The massacre at Jerusalem was inexcusable, but the Muslims behaved barbarically whenever they had the opportunity many times over, and had been attempting, even successfully, invading Europe since the 700s. They were and are not innocent.

According to TED-ED, chess began assuming its modern recognizable form around the 15th century. During that time, the piece of “Advisor” was amped-up and recast as the “Queen”. I have heard that Isabella was the inspiration for the change, but don’t know if that story is apocryphal or not.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful ﴿١١٦﴾ وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ 116. And Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as gods apart from Allah?’” He will say, “Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right to. Had I said it, You would have known it. You know what is within me, and I do not know what is within You. It is you who are the Knower of the hidden. ﴿١١٧﴾ مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ ۚ وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنْتَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ 117. I only told them what You commanded me: ‘Worship Allah-my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them, as long as I was among them. But when You took me back, You were the Watcher over them-You are Witness over all things. ﴿١١٨﴾ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ ۖ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ 118. If You punish them, they are Your servants; but if You forgive them: it is you who are the Mighty and Wise.” ﴿١١٩﴾ قَالَ اللَّهُ هَٰذَا يَوْمُ يَنْفَعُ الصَّادِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ ۚ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۚ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ 119. Allah will say, “This is a Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthfulness.” For them are Gardens under which rivers flow, where they will remain forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is the supreme attainment. ﴿١٢٠﴾ لِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 120.
