What texts/books would you recommend for research on the history based on the events of the film Kingdom of Heaven? I know fully well that the film is highly fictionalized, and I am not looking to it as some epic war story. Any recommended original texts or books (preferably in English) would be appreciated.

1965, but authoritative and easy to read.

Ignore Runicman. Most modern historians dismiss him from what I know. I'll try and find some books for you now, one second.
