While I do not know how accurate the battle would look like I think the movie did well to convey how glory the war of the madden king would have looked like. The gore also added to King John’s cruelty and how much bloodshed he caused. The movie shows King John to be as crazy as I’ve pictured

When I was a baby, my Spartan parents had to take me to the Elders for inspection and since I passed, they had to assigned me to the barracks when I turned 6. My older sister had to go through the process the same way I did. She, too, was sent to school to be a great warrior like me.
