History Characters / MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail

A large three headed knight who seems to be a formidable fighter, where it not that the heads first must agree before an action can be taken.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Despite their constant insults, they never actually swear. The gag is that htey pretty much use the most colourful insults possible without outright saying anything profane (at least by modern standards).

* SirSwearsAlot

* ChekhovsGun: Their useless discussion does provide Arthur with a means to defeat [[spoiler: the bridgekeeper when he starts asking a question about swallows]]

* ChekhovsGunman

* WeHardlyKnewYe

A cartoon Monster that appears out of nowhere. It quickly devours Brother Maynard.

* ChekhovsLecture: Their useless discussion does provide Arthur with a means to defeat [[spoiler: the bridgekeeper when he starts asking a question about swallows]]

The main character. He is the king of the Britons. God send him and his knights on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Acts very stoic considering the amount of strangeness happening around him.

* TheSmartGuy: Much wiser than Sir Bedivere

A 37 years old peasant, whose community is based on a political system thats too modern for the dark ages. It certainly has no place for a mythical king like Arthur, which Dennis openly shows. This starts another pointless discussion in which Dennis wants to prove that just wielding Excalibur is not a reason to boss people around. Dennis is TropeNamer to InherentInTheSystem.

This Historian tells the audience about Arthur's defeat at the hands of the French. He also explains that the knights continued their search separately. He is killed by a knight riding on a '''real''' horse. His death sets up the events happing in the end of the film.

This is not a real character, but more of a gag when the narrator introduces the Knights of the round table. When his picture is shown, he appears as a baby wearing a chainmail helmet thats too large. This is actually Michael Palin's son, William Palin.
He is the TropeNamer to SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer and LadyNotAppearingInThisGame.

* [[{{ptitle12cnzhv6}} Sorry Billy, But You Just Don't Have Legs]]

* TheDeterminator: He build a castle in a swamp just to show the other kings its possible to do so. It sank into the swamp. The same happened to the second castle. Guess what? He build a third castle in the swamp...which burned down '''and''' sank into the swamp. But the fourth and current one stayed up.

* BadassMoustache: His moustache is ''much'' more badass then him.
