Quote from: Erpingham on May 28, 2024, 04:34:16 PMWhile on the subject of military myths, we will all recall the scene in Olivier's Henry V with the knight being lowered into his saddle with a crane. I'm sure no-one here believes this but some may think that Olivier invented it for dramatic effect. Not so. There are a number of explanations for it around but the best I found so far is by Robert Woosnam-Savage here. Yet another Victorian contribution to medieval history.
