!!This film provides examples of:
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Much of what Cerdic does is open to this. His intentions are hard to read, and he doles out kindness and cruelty in the same gruff tone of voice.

Added DiffLines:

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Not quite, but Tristan's armor had a distinct Asian design, as did his sword (which was a Chinese Dao sword) and bow (a Mongolian composite bow). These are closer to actual Sarmatian armor and weapons than were those of the other knights, which look more European.

* ManipulativeBastard: Bishop Germanus.
* MercyKill: Ambiguously played when Cerdic stops a couple of his men from raping a captured woman, ostensibly to avoid mixing bloodlines with the Celts. When one of the men objects, Cerdic kills him, then kills the woman too. Whether he does this because he knows he can't protect her for long, or out of a genuine concern for racial purity is left to interpretation.
