A Knight's Tale
A Knight's Tale is a 2001 American medieval action comedy film featuring Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who impersonates a knight to compete in tournaments. The film intertwines historical figures such as Edward the Black Prince and Geoffrey Chaucer into a deliberately anachronistic 14th-century story with modern references and a 1970s soundtrack.
