Balian of Ibelin: History vs Myth

Real Crusades History #253. And don't forget the Real Crusades History website!

This is J Stephen Roberts and Deanna Proach's second podcast talk show. We were very excited to have Dr. Helena Schrader on to talk about Balian of Ibelin. Balian has been made famous as the lead character in Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven. In this podcast Dr. Schrader discusses the myth versus the reality behind Balian. Dr. Schrader has written a novel about Balian's life entitled, KNIGHT OF JERUSALEM, which is available here: https://amzn.to/2D3JoFm

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
