I don't agree on the 'narrative gap' at the end. Yes, it would in reality have taken a couple of months to get back to France from the Holy Land, but I don't see what value there would have been in showing us any of that. After the climax of the story (the surrender of Jerusalem), you need to get to the coda as quickly as possible.
