TimeTravel from Middle Age

He'd just wonder about. He'd try to talk to people but no one would understand him.

Hang on, why is it being assumed he is an English knight?

Well he wouldn't be American, because America was not yet discovered and the term Knight usually applies to a knight of the English realm, as it was coined by this.

DOES it? Since when does it 'usually' apply to English people?

I think you will find the major medieval Knight orders were from the continent.

I'm probably wrong, I'm not a history buff. I can't see anywhere where it was said that this knight was English anyway, I think the only person assuming that is you and maybe one other at most.

I think he'd be a South African knight, but oddly, with a sort of Portugese accent. Sort of like my mate Pedro.

What about criminal behavior by the good kinght?

What if he over reacts to being told he can't walk around with his weapon in public?

I had an european knight in mind, as far as concerned 🙂 I did not think much about origin, since I did not think it would matter much.

Is it illegal to walk around with plate, shield and sword? 😕

If he decided to fight people that opposed him, he would probably get shot very soon. I hightly doubt he would obey the policemen, even if they said they were among the good guy 😕

why not? i think people would get his general point after deciphering through the old english. If i can understand a crackhead i'm sure i would get the general idea of an old knights direction. He would have a much harder time understanding us than we would have understanding him.

I didn't; everyone assuming he is speaking an older version of English is.

Well what type of knight would it be? The classic chivalrous type, or the type in title only?

Weren't most of them less than chivalrous?
