I wonderwhat would have happened have Tiberius stayed in Jerusalem?

Great writing. You have nailed the characters in this movie.

Balian so reminds me of Squire Johan from 'The Smurfs' cartoon series of the 1980's. In fact, if Joh an had indeed bulked up a little and grown a beard, well, there would not be much difference in looks. Balian challenging Guy was classic, no wonder they became enemies.

good

Another good story in your KoH series. I liked Tiberius and it's nice to hear his pithy views on King Baldwin's court, as well as his opinion of the lovely Balian.

Regrettably, in reality, there were very few, if any, honourable knights fighting in the crusades - they were all after the same things, land and treasure. They treated the native Christians and Jews shamefully, putting the population to the sword and ransacking the Byzantine churches and temples with the same zeal as they applied to attacking the Muslim population - leaving a legacy of resentment that lasts to this day. And, of course, they were all fighting each other as well - competing in a never-ending power struggle. Perfect knights really do only exist in poetry and fiction.

Like how Tiberias insults and mentally/verbally aggresses against Guy.

Wonderful retelling of two marvellous movie scenes which I have now clearly in mind again. Elegantly written and, in addition, from one of my favourite characters!

I love this Tiberias's POV! At times perhaps it sounds a bit too modern, but it is definitely nice to crawl into his head and see what is going around there. I wish there were more Tiberias stories around, he deserves much more attention. He, along with the King and Godfrey, were my favourite characters. And the Hospitaller too. I'm always glad to give you plot ideas, especially involving those characters. :)

Hey!

Great, I loved it. I hope you have more of these coming.

Bye

Awesome fic. This was very well written and I loved it! You are a great writer.

That was SO GOOD! Please don't let it end there. You really are a talented writer, especially when describing Guy, comparing him on the surface as to what he is on the inside. And your story had an original POV, Tiberias is a cool character we should read about more often. Again, great job.

Excellent piece within movie universe - re-examining an existing scene from the POV of another character. Raymond is one of my favourites, anyway!

Nice! It was like watching the movie again, well, at least part of it...

I guess you matched Tiberias thoughts to the bit. Of course that is not too difficult (no offense meant), since everybody in their right minds would probably feel the same...

I'd like to read more of your works... already read 'Morning musings' and am going to read 'Know thy enemy' asap...:-))
