I always thought Tristan was the best warrior out of all of the knights, he made swordplay an art form as seen is his other brief sword fights throughout the movie. His fight here though was more heavy handed, more like the traditional heavy sword fighting that we see from Arthur or lancelot, than the smooth dancing moves he displayed previously. Then i got to thinking about why they would have Tristan lose this fight, and I came up with two reasons, firstly echoing Lancelot earlier in the movie, "I will die in battle and hopefully a battle of my choosing", and secondly Tristan is a warrior, all throughout he was the knight that killed easily as opposed to Galahad who actively disliked killing unless absolutely necessary. Tristan was free from service to Rome, he no longer had a war to fight or enemies to slay, ever the warrior he had no place in peacetime, so he chose this battle to die a warriors death, not for Rome but for Arthur and the Knights of the Round table - his brothers. This is why he failed here, because he was a man who had accepted death and no longer had a reason to fight to be alive, only to fight until he was laid low.

It Tristan didn't engage the Saxon leader first & thus tire him out could Arthur have ultimately prevailed in his clash of true champions with said Saxon warlord?? Food for thought.

Had he not switched up the tactic, pretty sure Tristan would have gotten the win. He didn't use any heavy attacks for his kills, and his style would have eventually tired him out. I think Cedric both saw and feared his defeat, and used a style that he wasn't used to defending.

Look at the ironic part. Mads Mikkelsen is a dane. The danish people was Saxons, you know vikings. He's ancestors are saxons and then he plays a role were he fights the saxons. I think it's ironic. Tristan was my favorite character and Mads Mikkelsen is my favorite danish actor. Proud to be danish!

How was the Saxon able to beat one of Arthur's knights, they were the best warriors ever, no one could beat them, how was this guy able to?

Two things I like about this duel: 1.) It was as honorable as you could expect to receive on a battlefield by two mortal enemies fighting to the death. 2.) The Knight who kills for pleasure was cut down by his own sword.

@@pietrpiepir6444 but he did pull one out against Tristan, right? Then that’s the proof you need to say that’s how he fights. If he never pulled out a knife in a fight in the entire movie, but I tried to argue that he would’ve, then that would be a baseless argument. But he actually has done it. Which means the argument that it’s how he fights not only has merit, it also has evidence to support it. Because he DID.

the cerdic was just better guys, its combat, there is absolutely no denying Tristan was the best though, thats why he killed him, he gave him a warriors death, it sucked but it was very honorable.
@pietrpiepir64442 жыл бұрын
I think they were too evenly matched for Cerdic to be in any condition to fight Arthur were he to win, which is why he pulled the knife on him. Cerdic wanted Arthur and Tristan was in his way, so he had to kill him asap and didn't care how dirty it was.
