A Knights Tale

     Hello all! The Corey family and I just watched a movie called A Knights Tale. I thought it was a really good movie. It was like stepping into medieval times mixed with the 70's. This movie has a lot of interesting characters and quite a bit of action.
     This is an action packed movie about a peasant squire named William, who has wanted to become a knight his entire life. He finally achieves this dream when his master dies right before a jousting tournament. He takes his master's place and rides in the jousting tournament, knowing that if he was caught he could be arrested or worse.
     He wasn't caught and he decided that, with the help of his two fellow squires, he could make himself a knight! He doesn't know how he is going to do it nor where he is going to go. When he stumbled upon a man who had been "robbed."  He had nothing - literally. He asked that he be clothed and fed and he would write up the papers to make William a legal nobleman so that he could be in the jousting and swordsman tournament.
     After becoming a nobleman, he set out to live his dream. His name changed to Sir Olrich van Liechtenstein and started to compete. After his first joust, he won. However, he lost the last round, causing him to be upset. He decided then and there that he was going to leave and go to the next joust and win that one. Before he left, he met Jocelyn. She was a fair lady who sent her handmaiden to ask what he was wearing to the banquet. He decided that maybe he would stay after all.
     As the movie goes on, he keeps winning tournaments until it was the semi-finals and his major opponent dropped out because he didn't want to go against the Prince of Wales. Him being Royal Blood and all. William didn't back down though. He almost did because to hurt the crown was treason and you would be sentenced to death. However, the Prince looked quite let down that he didn't get to joust because everyone was afraid. When William jousted him, he and Will became quick friends.
     At the finals, Willaim decided to visit his dad. He hadn't seen him in 12 years. When he saw him again, his father was blind. He welcomed Will home with joy. But someone was watching. His major opponent! The guy ratted Will out! William was arrested and sent out into the square for public humiliation. That was when the Prince of Wales stepped in and saved the day! He dubbed William Sir William Thatcher.
     There was still a tournament to win. Out he went and almost lost. Then he gave it his all and won! His father and sweetheart were there to watch it. They all lived Happily Ever After!
                                                                    The End.
