History 101: The Legendary Knights of Medieval Europe

Medieval Knights Movies Kingdom Of Heaven History

Kingdom of Heaven, Ridley Scott’s 2005 historical epic, stands as a notable entry in medieval knight films providing a richer, more nuanced portrayal of the Crusade Knights, delving into the complexities of the era with a focus on characters like Balian of Ibelin.
