Y7: Film Study – Knight’s Tale III

Year 7A & Year 7B

Today we will continue with the film that tells the story of peasant, William Thatcher who pretends to be a knight called Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein. However, before you start with the third “episode” of the film, we will first go over your exam…

Follow the order in which I give you instructions:

Now, read the following text which gives you an overview of the events in the third “episode” of the film:

In the previous “episode” William learnt that Sir Thomas Colville was actually Edward, the Black Prince. In this “episode”. Adhemar is called away to war (to the Battle of Poitiers). William takes part in more tournaments and achieved several victories in Adhemar’s absence. William proves his love for Jocelyn by complying when she first asks him to deliberately lose (in contrast to the countless knights who promise to win in her name), and then, just before he would be eliminated, to win the tournament in her name after all!

After this, the group travels to London for the World Championship. William remembers how he left his father as a little boy to become a squire for Sir Ector, to learn to become a knight, in the hope that he would “change his stars”. (That means to change his fortune, or to make his life better.) Adhemar has also arrived in London and announces that he is in negotiations with Jocelyn’s father for her hand in marriage. William dominates at the tournament. William also visits his father, now blind and living alone in Cheapside, London. However, Adhemar then realises who William (or “Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein”) really is…

Now, watch “Episode 3” by accessing it in Schoology Materials. (This “episode” is 34:51 minutes long.)

If, for some reason, it does not work, click on the square (at the top right) in the schoology page for “Episode 3” – then the video should work. (Make sure that you are logged into your school gmail account!) It looks like this:

If available on Schoology, complete the Quiz on “Squires and Knights” in Schoology – it is “timed” and will take you no more than 5 minutes…! (You only get one attempt at this. Also, please note that quiz will expire… So, make sure that you do it in time!)
