Great movie. Major scene is a copy of the Battle of the Golden Spurs.

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2019)

It is a great and universal story. The streetkid that slaughters the French army.
The most important scene is that of the battle between the (spoiler alert) heavy armed French troops drowning in the mud, slaughtered by the lighty armed Englisg troops.
As it is shown in the movie, the battlescene is a copy of the 'Battle of the Golden Spurs', anno 1302 in the mud of the Flemish fields between the French army in armour on horses and the lightly armed on foot Flemish army, as it is described (romantisised) in the 1812 novel by Hendrik Conscience: De Leeuw Van Vlaanderen (The Lion of Flanders). In this 'The King'-movie, they even show the moment where they not collect the spurs, like in the Conscience novel, but in stead the swords of the French. A beautiful symbolic moment in this movie.
A must watch story about wisdom above arrogance.
