Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson in Blackadder Goes Forth (1989)

FAQ

Blackadder Goes Forth

FAQ



    Yes, and his portrayal, according to historical record, is nothing like the real Manfred. Manfred was written by historians as a cool, calculating man with a great tactical mind.

    As some sources have it, Adrian Edmonson's portrayal is more like Lothar, Manfred's younger brother. Sources have it that Lothar would recklessly charge into his enemy, guns blazing, and hope for the best. Surprisingly, Lothar survived World War I. He died in 1922 in a plane crash resulting from engine failure.
