[I got their attention, you go and win their hearts (Introduction Speech) | A Knight's Tale (2001)] Scene where Sir Ulrich Von Liechtenstein (Heath Ledger) first encountered Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell) and it was rude. I love the quote from Sir Hunter (Heath Ledger) to Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon), "perhaps angels have no names, only beautiful faces." Then the mind-blowing speech from Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) introducing Sir Ulrich Von Liechtenstein. Jerusalem, Italy, Greece, Whisper! Later, the Joust between Sir Ulrich Von Liechtenstein and Sir Thomas Colville. and to Count Adhemar, "Mercy is weakness."
When William's true love finds out he is not of royal lineage she offers to run away with him despite the hardships. Even his friends tell him to run away. He chooses Courage, despite the unknown...

William is Knighted by Prince Edward | A Knight's Tale
"Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough. But you also tilt when you should withdraw and that is knightly too."Words cannot express how amazing I think this line is
James Purefoy (the Prince) is an underrated actor. He always brings depth and intensity to his roles. I love this scene. Especially the knighting by the Prince. I felt pride for the Prince & SIR William. It makes me tear up a little. (Sniff). 3:20 onwards; the moment has come where William's life has been directed since he was a boy. This is what he's been dreaming about. By taking that knee, with Prince Edward ready to knight him, that dream has crystallized to reality. This has always been one of my favorite scenes. That, and about leadership. "You're men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, it would be enough."
I always wondered if he actually had historians who discovered this, or if Prince Edward decided that this guy was worthy of knighthood and felt this explanation is the easiest to hand waive “nah, he was noble the whole time. The paperwork got lost in the mail”.Nah, the whole point of the film is that a man can change his stars. Him actually being royalty negates that. Plus, you can tell Edward is making it up, that’s why he said his word is “beyond contestation.” Remember, at this time they believed we were all descended from Adam and Eve, and later from Noah and his family, thus he might claim a familial relationship, if he were challenged, but did anyone note the size of his backup and where his hand when he said "And as such is beyond contestation, " there was the added unspoken phrase "Unless you want to challenge my word, and me!"
[He needed someone to kill Adhemar, and thought William could do it? He had also talked to William during an earlier joust, plus seeing William's friends being loyal to him convinced him that William could be trusted.So part need, part tool, and part trust. (1) Prince Edward had likely been getting nervous about Adhemar's ambition and honor (or lack of it), and figured that William would be more useful. William had the basics (willing to fight, encouraging loyalty in friends), and by becoming a knight William's ambitions were dealt with.]
A good mans fate, jesus christ being the prime example of the mob turning against the righteous
