  King Faisal (King Faycal) : [as Gertrude rides into the desert on her camel]  How could she know that we will be kings?

  King Abdullah : She is the maker of kings. She is the crowned queen of the desert.

  Title Card : Faisal and Abdullah soon became kings in Iraq and Jordan. Gertrude Bell delineated the borders of their kingdoms. Based on her recommendations, the British helped Ibn Saud claim Arabia as his kingdom. Gertrude Bell never married. She died in Baghdad in 1926, where she is buried. The Bedouin tribes still remember her fondly as the single foreigner who understood them best.
