* FridgeBrilliance: The classic rock soundtrack. On the commentary, the director admits it's a kind of audible TranslationConvention, to show that people in the middle ages thought their music was just as fun as we think ours is today. But at the time the film was released, the songs used were twenty years out of date. It's still an awesome selection of hits, but also puts you in the mindset of "the past," fitting oddly well with a period film that's fun and lighthearted.

** Widows of blacksmiths and other tradesmen really did take up the job -- not just the PoliticallyCorrectHistory you may have thought ([[AnachronismStew not that it would have been out of place]]). Blacksmiths paid their taxes to the local feudal lord in arrowheads instead of gold, so [[TruthInTelevision nearly all blacksmiths' wives were trained in basic smithing]] so they could make arrowheads and free up their husband to do the earning jobs.

The blacksmiths' guild had a rule that if a blacksmith died his widow would be allowed to continue working in the trade to support herself and any children (which is why Kate is established as being a widow).

** Kate is easily the most popular member of the supporting cast, despite being the last to join them. A lot of people wish she had been the main love interest, though just as many are happy that she is a prominent female character who ''doesn't'' end up as somebody's love interest. And like Christiana, many thought she was prettier than Jocelyn and she's a LauncherOfAThousandShips.

** For a third ''Game of Thrones'' reference, a major plot point of this film is Prince Edward jousting under an assumed name, and those who find out (except Will) withdrawing rather than endanger a member of the royal family. In ''Game of Thrones'', Robert Baratheon wants to compete in his own tournament (though in the melee, not the joust), and Ned Stark has to spell out that everyone would let him win rather than strike their king.

** The real Ulrich Von Lichtenstein -- yes there was a real one! -- was a 13th c. knight who, on one occasion in his career of errantry, rode the tournament circuit in the guise of 'Queen Venus' complete with silk gown over his armor and long braids of false hair dangled beneath his helmet.
