Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Paul Bettany (Geoffrey Chaucer) developed laryngitis because of all the yelling he had to do as William's herald.
Count Adhemar is announced as "son of Philippe de Vitry." De Vitry was a famous 14th century French musician and theorist, known for an influential text called "Ars Nova."
Movie Goof (continuity error): While Adhemar is being prepared for the final joust, his page puts on his helmet and begins to close the visor with his ungloved hand. In the next shot, Adhemar closes the visor again with his own, gloved, right hand which, as far as we have seen, is already holding his lance (he is holding the horse's reins with his left hand).
The phrase that Chaucer tells Will when they get to the first tournament, "I've got to go see a man about a dog," is an archaic reference for going to the bathroom. Although unlikely to have seen use in Chaucer's day, it was in use in the early-1900s.
