Many of us LOTR fans are partial to things medievalesque.

The knights, honour, the ARMOUR, the maidens, and the ARMOUR...

Whoops...sorry about that...

Just to let you know that Beleg is not the only valiant warrior to whom I lost my heart so long ago. Watch "Kingdom of Heaven" and you will briefly see the true, compelling, heart-wrenching and inpiring figure that was Baldwin IV of Jerusalem...the tragic boy-king who kicked some real backside while he was able... His sheer GUTS and courage will take your breath away, and reading his biography will leave you in tears. (Bernard Hamilton, "The Leper King and His Heirs") The battles of Montgisard (alluded to in the film) and Le Forbelet were major Frankish victories under his command. Alas, for Baldwin the Virgin King...how come history has ignored him so?

Oddly, there are some Baldwin groupies cropping up on the 'net inspired by the film...

SOOO--this leads me to some backside-kicking music on this site for Knights of Honour, a computer game that is evidently truly grounded in history (for us history/canon nuts):

Go to DOWNLOADS and select MUSIC. This is great if you like this king of "action/adventure/honour" music.
