Is that Hodor's "willy" in the left edge of the pic ? Or all Danes get that "excited" when they charge into battle ? :wink:
Errors in geography: The film shows Rochester Castle standing next to a bridge in a totally empty moorland landscape. In fact the castle was (and is) on the edge of the City of Rochester, which was already a thousand years old at the time of the siege, and right next to it is the great 11th-century cathedral of Rochester. On the other side of the bridge was (and is) the town of Strood, plus a number of smaller settlements.
Anachronisms: King John's mercenaries are a band of "pagan Danes" several hundred years after the whole of Denmark was converted to Christianity.
Anachronisms: The Templar hero has a 5-1/2 foot two-hand sword, something which didn't exist in the 13th century.
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): King John's mercenaries, the band of ''pagan Danes'' are actually talking in Hungarian, not Danish.
Factual errors: In 1215, Rochester was already a sizable city. When Rochester castle is seen in the film, there is no sign of the dwellings that would have comprised the city, nor of the cathedral, which is a massive building, situated about one hundred yards from the castle. The cathedral was looted by King John's forces, during the siege.
Danes seem to be speaking gibberish, not Danish.
Watch Kingdom of Heaven instead.
Like... perhaps, old norse?
