Serious big brain/heart energy.
She was part of the ruling family in a crusader state and almost certainly killed her son after he developed leprosy.
Guy was unpopular because he was cruel and stupid. Guy was banished to Outremer in the first place because he participated in a kidnapping plot against Eleanor of Aquitaine.

If you want to give Syballa a pass for being a woman in what’s definitely a man’s world that’s one thing but her heart was as stupid as her brain and it got her killed.
On the other hand, she was part of the series of own goals that led to Saladin destroying the crusader states so maybe it’s good that it was.
The 2005 Kingdom of Heaven movie really did Guy and Sibylla dirty. I’m fairly sure the history was especially distorted because the writer and director were atheists and clung too tightly to a “religious tolerance is ideal” message, even at the expense of accurately portraying the actions of the actual historical figures.
You’re right, they should have made it more clear the crusaders were all evil and deserved worse.
Guy was exiled to Outremer in the first place for trying to kidnap Eleanor of Aquitaine btw.
That weirdly smooth skin and odd hair shape behind the neck are reminiscent of AI

iirc that image was made shortly prior to AI, just good ol’ photopea and that shit
i mean, yeah. they clearly asked an ai to make an female version of the Chad meme.
