- 'Top Medieval Historian Reviews Famous Movie Scenes | Part One'
Dr Eleanor Janega, who holds a doctorate in medieval history and lectures at the London School of Economics, rates 10 well-known scenes from movies focussing on the medieval period.
Eleanor reviews both the siege of Stirling and the Battle of Loudoun Hill as portrayed in 'Outlaw King' (2018) starring Chris Pine. She explores how 'The Black Death' (2010) presents medieval attitudes to witchcraft and paganism, before deconstructing scenes featuring jousting and the poet Geoffrey Chaucer in 'A Knight's Tale' (2001).
She looks at the presentation of King John and Magna Carta in the movie 'Ironclad' (2011), as well as the famous siege of Rochester Castle. Finally, she discusses the death of Richard the Lionheart as shown in the Russell Crowe movie 'Robin Hood' (2010).

Dr. Janega’s the real deal. An obvious expert who still has her humanity intact enough to appreciate “A Knight’s Tale” and Chaucer’s obscene humor. 10/10
Eleanor taught me in the first year of my History degree at King's College London, and she was brilliant, bringing the same amount of energy to a class of 18 year old who had only done half the reading as to these videos.
I love how much time-scales get lost on modern folks. Putting something in the 1300's instead of the 1600's for instance, would be literally like putting cell phones and internet into the hands of George Washington.
Between Dr. Janega and Dr. Konijnendijk, I could watch medieval & ancient warfare content all day.
Can Dr. Janega have a channel? I could listen to her tell these stories for days. Lots of personality and knowldge.
I love her. She's serious and knows her stuff but still loves A Knights Tale. That's just awesome.
I love her cause she is so knowledgeable and breaks down mistakes but also shows appreciation for movies
Cannot tell you how much I love Dr. Janega’s insight and commentary!! We need more of her!!
"Pointy Stick" is the main and most important weapon of war from the Neolithic to the broad implementation of gunpowder. The Spear in all it's forms is the cheapest and one of the most versatile and effective ways to kill with.
Dr. Janega made this video, she is amazing, i will absolutely watch any more videos she is featured in.
"Expert rates" videos are some of my favourites, and this one is possibly the best I've seen. The love for A Knight's Tale is a MASSIVE plus.
The Magna Carta line had me laughing, I’d love to have been taught by her! 😂
one thing that i love about a knight's tale is that it is historically accurate to the vibes of the time.
"Rusty, sort your accent out!"
I love how Doc breaks things down. She's humorously dry in the best way.
Love learning from her. You can tell she loves this. You can tell she’s a great educator because she isn’t arrogant or dismissive. She also gets movies. They aren’t documentaries, they’re trying to incorporate the realities of the period with the truth that it’s a ‘story’. I’m going to be very busy binge watching
Brilliant reviews, but there are a couple of questions left unanswered. What was the origin of the Holy Hand grenade of Antioch, and was there if fact a Knight of the Round Table who indeed had to push the pram a lot?
Outlaw king was incredible. There were several trenches made before the battle took place.
Thanks Dr. Janega or treating history with humor. I loved a knights tale and Chaucer's bodily humor. Brava!!!!
I'm a History Major and now that I I've watched this video, it is officially peer reviewed and can be considered to be a legitimate scientific source, having been put forth by a qualified academic and examined by a peer.
