** The myth that knights were so heavy that they had to be hoisted upon their horses by a crane is attributed to this book, but the first known instance of this gag is in a ''Punch'' magazine of 1843. The trope is [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]] because the book only mentions a "derrick" in passing; it was the 1931 film adaptation that fully milked the idea for laughs.

* UnfortunateImplications: Twain refers to a group of prisoners' stoic acceptance of their brutal treatment as being like "White Indians", the implication being that their fortitude is not due to any form of heroism but the brutal nature of their society which neither gives or expects mercy. His view of medieval peoples is similar to the patronising view of aboriginal peoples at the time, as being naive "childlike savages". Of course, this is mostly FairForItsDay.
