Did You Know?
Trivia | Dennis Price was originally cast as Lord Wessex, but withdrew at the last moment (he was replaced by Leo Genn). Some posters and advertising material from the time credit Price as appearing in the movie. See more » |
Goofs | Where does one begin? There is no "County of Wessex" and the uniforms are inaccurate. The coat of arms in the court must have been drawn by a child. See more » |

Quotes |
Lord George Jeffreys:
You are all condemned, for crimes against king and kingdom, to hang... to dangle until you are but dead, to be then cut down still alive, to have your entrails drawn out and thrust into your own mouths, to be further hanged, then quartered like the carcasses of beef you are. You number five hundred, but even if you were five thousand, the execution of this sentence would be just before God Almighty... and may He have mercy upon your souls. See more » |
