We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are---
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Check out "The Knights of New Jersey." It's a poke at all of us Rennies. Search the web.

A Knights Tale  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183790/  I think it was great fun. Anachronisms galore (intentional) which irked a lot of people who obviously missed the point. It is a comedy, after all.

The Lion in Winter https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063227/  A more serious look at things...

When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

Being an archer, I am partial to the 2010 version of "Robin Hood" with Russell Crowe.

I also like the 2004 "King Arthur" with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley.  It's set in the actual period that Arthur would have been king.  There's not a lot of shining armor or a Camelot stone castle.

A friend recommended Ironclad, with James Purefoy, and The War Lord, with Charlton Heston. I enjoyed both.
