"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

lol Oh that is excellent! I have a much deeper appreciation for Sir Urlich. I had only done some rudimentary research after the movie came out and found that he was a real knight within the same time period but that was pretty much it! Thanks for sharing that Sir John!  :)

Yeah, I really have to attempt to ignore the anachronisms and inaccuracy, but otherwise I love that movie.

It's a good movie, but half the time I'm left shrieking "WTF ARE THEY WEARING!!!!!!" (That's usually when I start losing friends really fast, or people leave the theater...)

It's even worse now that I know they took the time to research a real historical figure.... *Forehead slap*

By the way, did you ever see "A Knight's Tale" with keith ledger? Well he pretends to be Sir Urlich von Lichtenstein. I did a lot of research on him, and he was not only in wars, but he was quite the character. He went on two tournament circuits and never lost! On one, he dressed as King Arthur and his companions as knights of the round table. The other was amazing, he loved venus, and used her image as his crest, but on one circuit, he actually dressed I (in a pink dress)  as venus...complete with wig and braids! And he participated in tournaments in that outfit!

That's truly a character! It would have been strange to see Heath Ledger in a pink dress, and even stranger to see him winning in it.

No the movie was hokey enough with him winning without armor and the lance strapped to his arm.  ;)

I attached my coat of arms which is copyrighted in the US. It all started out when I was a kid, my dad gave me a placque for our surname (from sears) Course I realize now except for a dircect ist son male line, everyone has their own coat. I added the crescent for the second son, then the estrucheon for the Hohenzollern family. When I was in high school a friend told me his family was descendant of them (His family only spoke German) so I asked him to knight me, which he did. So my first knighting was from a relative of the hohenzollerns so that's why I added that.

Yes I do have the blazon, but it's at work. I'll have to try to remember to copy it down...it's involved.

I decided that soon I will start a thread...this week's knight...and post sets I have made for different historical knights and a little about each one.

I gave it a go this weekend without much success.  This one's NOT easy! ;)
