Contrary to what is stated (that there were no knights in the city), Jerusalem did have a modest number of knights and men at arms, but not enough for a proper defense. Sixty new knights were created from squires and freemen (not the huge number shown in the film, and not from random servants). These provided the main defense of the city. Although their help was requested, almost no people from the population of the city joined in the defense.
