Synopsis
In 14th-century England, William Thatcher is a lowly squire who nevertheless harbours a dream to change his social standing and compete in noble jousting tournaments. When his master, Sir Ector, dies during a tournament, William puts on the armour and unexpectedly wins. This victory ignites a fire inside him, and he soon aligns himself with Geoff Chaucer, a down-on-his-luck writer who promises William forged noble documents if he can work alongside him and share his spoils. As the two rise through the ranks and continue to emerge victorious in tournaments, William falls in love with noblewoman Lady Jocelyn, a twist in the tale which suddenly threatens their new way of life, especially when the ruthless Count Adhemar threatens to expose their hoax. An entertaining jaunt through a slice of British medieval history which deals in themes of class boundaries whilst asking questions of what we believe integrity to be.
