      The monarch's standard includes a quadrant with the Fleur De Lys: this relates to the monarchy's French possessions. However, this connection did not arise until 1066 when William of Normandy defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings to become William 1, so the standard could not have been that of monarchs of Saxon times.
    • Quotes

      Robert: We're going to Merlin. He made your father king; perhaps he can make you queen.

      Katherine: Now I know you're lying. Nobody knows where Merlin is.

      Robert: Well, that will make things more difficult, won't it?

    A truly abysmal film, saved only by the wonderfully arch 'Limping Man', beautifully played by Jerome Willis.

    A truly abysmal film, saved only by the wonderfully arch villain - 'The Limping Man'- beautifully overplayed by Jerome Willis. As a keen Arthurian scholar and Dark-Age reenactor, I can say that this movie bears absolutely no relation to history - or even legend! Who was Edmund of Cornwall for goodness sake? He is unknown to this period of history.

    However,it is the type of film that I would love to own,if only for Jerome Willis's character.

    The film is so typical of its genre and is a 'must have' to complete anyone's kitsch collection of cheesy swashbucklers, in the same way that one has a copy of 'Agadoo' and 'The Birdie Song' in a record collection.
