Balian of Ibelin decided to join the Crusaders primarily to defend Jerusalem against the advancing forces of Saladin. He was motivated by a sense of duty to protect the Christian population in the city and uphold his family's legacy. Additionally, Balian sought to assert his authority and secure his position in the tumultuous political landscape of the Levant during that era. His leadership and resolve became crucial in the defense of Jerusalem during the besiegement.
