Kingdom of Heaven

Balian surrenders Jerusalem to Saladin and gets safe passage for the city's people to go to the shore. He returns home to his blacksmith shop with former Queen Sibylla. He tells the King of England, who was planning to capture Jerusalem and is looking for Balian, that he is only a blacksmith. Balian and Sibylla ride off.

Hospitaler: I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the 'Will of God.' Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to head], and here [points to heart], and by what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man. Or not.

Question: It seems like a glaring factual error that Balian is able to read and write, given that he was raised as a peasant in the Middle Ages. Did I miss some mention as to how he became literate?
