Rise A Knight Scene - Kingdom of Heaven

[@erickam6733]

This scene hits hard if you understand the context behind what a knight was. It wasn't simply a more heavily armored soldier, Being a knight carried with it respect, and pride. Both of which are heavily needed for men under siege. If you can convince men to fight they will fight. Morale was key and for these men-at-arms and servants who were fighting because they had no choice gave them a level of comfort as they were not fighting and potentially dying as faceless nobodies, they were dying as knights, men worthy of respect and praise, and to men at that time, that was everything.

[@edvardkvist3656]

Yes and because the strong belief in god, the courage that god brought with the crusaders was absolutely crucial for their moral and hope. Moral and hope makes for a better warrior.

[@matsch6777]

@@edvardkvist3656 Crusaders, contrary to popular believe had not been true knights, nor have they been holy warriors. A true knight fights with honor, he is selfless in face of danger, protecting the ones in need and fend the enemy away. The Arthur Prayer in Dragonheart is more in the spirit of a true knight, than any crusader was. The crusade armies constited mostly of beggars, thieves, criminals, poor folk, farmers or children that the nobility and church promised salvation if they fight "in the name of god" - they mostly had been tricked for just fighting back the arabs and saracen people. Most of them where rapers, killed innocent townsfolk, murdered caravans, desacrated holy temples or robbed the cities and people they were ment to protect. Only the armies of King Richartd the Lionheart or Frederic Barbarossa were trained men-at-arms or noble swordsmen. Many of them however didnt make it through the journey to the holy land. Richard got terribly ill (but was well respected for his rightfullness by Saladin) and Frederic drowned in a river - demoralizing his full army.

[@petermccormack2525]

This isn't "completely" inaccurate. At the Siege of Jerusalem, there are primary sources that have depicted Balian knighting roughly 60 burgesses because they lacked Knights (he didn't knight all the "men at arms", but by knighting the burgesses he probably used them similarly to officers to organize and increase morale of the defenders). Burgesses in middle ages would have been "free-men" (non-serfs), so while the servant (likely a serf) wouldn't have been able to be knighted, city merchants, soldiers, blacksmiths (sometimes they were free men under guilds and not in servitude) may have been knighted. It's important to remember (and almost always glossed over) that while Muslims kept slaves at this point in history, so did Europeans, they just called it serfdom.

[@TheBongReyes]

Same. As a student of history, I’m always nitpicking in historical accuracy of movies. I know it’s unfair to do so. Learned to take many of these “historical” movies for what they are. Entertainment. I have enough of an imagination to re-enact history in my head. 😂
