Author's Notes: This story's based on the movie "A Kingdom of Heaven,", and historical facts pertaining to the actual characters the movie was based on. Please note that it's completely AU as I've taken the movies collaborated character of Sybilla; yes, she was an actual historical person, just not the one portrayed on the screen, and sort of squished her into the character that I chose to portray as Buffy. Isabella was the king and Sybilla's younger stepsister, however, she wasn't the woman that married the real Balian of Ibelin. That was her mother, the Dowager Queen of Jerusalem. The real Balian was quite a bit older than the luscious Mr. Bloom. So, I'm taking great creative license with the character that I've created for Buffy while trying to pull in more facts than were portrayed in the movie. By no means, will I try to recreate the movie, or quote every line word for word, that's not the way I work, or very interesting in my humble opinion. Some easily recognizable quotes used, while others I've paraphrased or created new conversations, depending on what I was trying to portray. I created the original character of William II of Champagne, combining the stories of Isabellas first husband, Humphrey IV of Toran, who she married when she was about 11, and her second husband, Henry II of Champagne, who she fell in love with but was assination. I've convuleted their stories into one for my own purposes.
