Have seen this film a few times, so I guess it is worth revisiting. Almost inevitably, perhaps, with films of this historical genre, one's sense of period tends to be more 20th century than 9th. Arguably compares favourably with the much later Braveheart - although, here again, some of the fighting scenes lacked conviction. Of course, always worth watching to see Edith (Sinead Cusack in her film debut).
