10 Movie Character Fates Only Explained In DVD Extras
3. Guy De-Lusignan - Kingdom Of Heaven
The last we saw of Guy De-Lusignan was the captured King being paraded on a mule in front of the walls of Jerusalem.
After Jerusalem surrenders, the cities inhabitants are given leave to depart. But there is no further mention of Guy for the rest of the film even though history states he survived.
It wasn't until the release of Kingdom Of Heaven's Directors Cut on DVD that a final fate for Guy was revealed.
Once released by Saladin, Guy enters the city and discovers Balian re-cooperating after the end of the fighting. Fueled with hatred for his rival, Guy challenges Balian to a duel and attempts to kill him.
Despite being fresher for the fight, Guy gets his ass handed to him by Balian. Left on his knees and further humiliated in front of the watching men-at-arms and civilians, Balian opts not to kill the disgraced King and delivers this final burn.
"When you rise again, if you rise, rise a knight."
We wouldn't be surprised if he was still kneeling.
