My pleasure.
I once read some blog by one of the xtras during the shooting of 'King Arthur'. And the guy was boasting and boasting about how accurate it all was...
Much later I heard that people who raised objections aginst the 'liberal' approach, were sent packing!
Of course, when the producers found out at the eleventh hour that they were for sure going to become a laughing stock when they would retain the references to ‘Russian knights’ instead of ‘Sarmatians’, they called in the aid of John Matthews and Linda Malcor. Since they were no historians and had very little time to begin with, not much could be changed after all.
