Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJean de Carrouges was born in the 1330s and Marguerite de Carrouges was born in 1362. They married in 1380. Thus Marguerite was 18 at her wedding and Jean was more or less 45. Also, Jean de Carrouges and Jacques le Gris were about the same age and were both squires and eventually knights, but at the time of the duel, Carrouges had participated in many more battles than le Gris, thus it can be surmised that he had better fighting reflexes and experience.
- GoofsThe crowd shouts, cheers, and gasps during the duel. This feels completely believable, but in real life trials by combat (including the one depicted in the film) actually took place in absolute silence, as any spectator making noise or otherwise disturbing the judicial duel was punishable by death.
- Quotes
Marguerite de Carrouges: I am telling the truth.
Nicole de Carrouges: The truth does not matter.

Featured review
If you want to watch something that has well-developed characters and plot and will really pull you in, give this a go.
It think the strongest thing about this movie is the storytelling, which is very mature, thoughtful and well-paced. It turns what would otherwise be another medieval action flick into an engrossing study about injustices, conflict and how human beings relate with each other. The acting is amazing and it's nice to see Ben Affleck in an unusual role, which he really nails.
Ridley Scott delivers again.
