** Recent material uncovered by Mystic Knight of Spirit (who was responsible for spearheading the aforementioned Preservation Project) also suggests that there would have been a villainous Mystic Knight named Seanin, [[EvilCounterpart the Mystic Knight of the Swamp]] who would have been allied with Maeva. He would have been portrayed by Joesph Barton (archived images [[https://ia801504.us.archive.org/8/items/mystic-knights-image-collection/Seanin%20-%20Mystic%20Knight%20of%20the%20Swamp%20-%20Seosamh%20Online%20-%20Official%20Website%20for%20Joseph%20Barton.jpg here]] and [[https://ia801504.us.archive.org/8/items/mystic-knights-image-collection/Seanin%20-%20Mystic%20Knight%20of%20the%20Swamp.jpg here]].)

* DuelingWorks: The show aired during the same 1998-1999 timeframe as ''Series/YoungHercules'', and reportedly was made out of fear of the latter eating into sales and viewership of ''Power Rangers'' (even though all three shows aired on Fox Kids...)
** That said, ''Young Hercules'' was not an in-house Fox Kids/Saban show -- it was from the people who were producing [[Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys the parent show at the time]], Studios USA[[note]]the renamed form of Creator/{{Universal}} Television after it was bundled with the Creator/USANetwork and sold to media mogul Barry Diller[[/note]] and [[Creator/SamRaimi Renaissance Pictures]], so presumably that also played a factor.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Shortly before cancellation, Joel Barkow recalls the network demanding "more action", and even wanting "The Trial of Angus" to open with a random battle scene.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: A long out-of-print VHS was this series' only home video media release in North America. It has never been released on DVD because of [[Creator/{{Disney}} Disney's]] buyout of the [[Creator/SabanEntertainment Saban]] library. It has, however, seen DVD release in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Germany]], of all places. It can be found online if you look but the only existing copies of the English version are heavily compressed and degraded rips from broadcast recordings that are nigh-unwatchable, making the show a particularly unfortunate version of the trope (Saban not reacquiring the show from Disney when it took back ''Power Rangers'' from them doesn't help matters).

Added DiffLines:

* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: Early toys show Ivar as being white, suggesting that Justin Pierce's casting was a case of AbilityOverAppearance.

Added DiffLines:

* KidsMealToy: UsefulNotes/McDonalds sold a set of eight figures in 1999. These consisted of the four knights (Rohan, Angus, Deidre, and Ivar) and the four villains (Queen Maeve, General Torc, Midar, and Lugad). Each villain came with a piece of the Dragon, and collecting all four pieces would allow one to build a figure of the Dragon.
