Exactly on all points. Again, for them to have portrayed all of what we know as correct on screen, would have been a longer show. LOL... All of which I wouldn't have minded in a mini series done right.
You say that like it's a bad thing....lol! :P There was a BBC show called Heroes & Villains with one done on Richard I. It was quite good. ;D

They should let us direct one.
You have my support and sword should you ever find an opportunity to do one. I think it would be a hit, even when it's done historically accurate, which producers seem to shy away from. ;) :)

It's an interesting discussion.

I think it's safe to say that throughout history, misguided men have horrifically translated just about every major holy text there is.....the Koran, the Bible, the Lotus Sutra....

Enteresting employment of gender there, without clarification Sister Hatchet.

BTW:
Olga, a Russian princess and widow of Prince Igor I, revenged her husband's murder by executing hundreds. She was regent of Russia 945-964, known as a ruthless ruler. She turned to religion, traveling to Constantinopole to be baptized as a Christian somwhere around 957. She eventually converted her grandson Vladimir I to Christianity. As was custom, that meant that the subjects of his realm turned Christian as well. It was under her influence that the Russian Church was autonomous of the Byzantine Church.

Sister Hatchet claps her hands in delight,

"Oooo, a new patron Saint for me.....and a brutal Rus Princess?  ;)  :P I've been wearing her brand of undergarmets for years.....who knew?"

Heroes and Villans I saw. it was a good show. I believe that one was them trying to see if Richard was really a hero or a greedy monster. A Steve something played him and I remember Andy Lucas playing Saladin I believe.

Steve Waddington.

He played Wilfred of Ivanhoe in the BBC TV mini series.

The Templar Grand Master Torroja in the Swedish hit: Arn the Knight Templar.

And for out of theme, Duncan the British officer in Last of the Mohicans.

Sir William Marcus

Waddington also portrays King Richard in Robin Hood-episode 1, and as King Richard again in the double feature A Good Day to Die / We Are Robin Hood.



He's a King Richard playing madman!  ;) :D

Another gorgeous day in the Forest of Wake...

I'm afraid I didn't obtain a good image of my new back baldric but I did manage to capture a welcoming of the clergy to my shire....

Excellent picture love the clergy outfit I play a monk in our local faire

It looks to me as if our "under-armored" Brother is taking confession, as Sister Hatchet whispers in his ear to prevent near by heretics from hearing anything that would represent weakness or indiscretion amongst the Sisterhood of Steel.

Monsignor de Beaumanoir

Sister Hatchet,

I want to thank you for pointing out the Warriors' facebook page. Terry and I are now in regular contact.

It appears the Warrior Monk episode about the Knights of Malta was a producer's choice. Terry is a big fan of the Templars and had asked to do a show on them.

He loves the Warrior Monk shots Brother William. Networking a new connection.

A couple more images from that Swedish film we know & love.

Oh yes, the "I could kill you now, if I wanted to stare" or "Hadji pleasssssse!" :P
