I can't believe they left Geoffroi de Charny off the list. Y'know — the knight that wrote the book on knighthood?

Taliesin his list sucks in general. Roland who was an icon of knighthood for real medieval Knights is not on the list, nor are any other of Charlemagne's paladins. William the bastard needs to be on that list, so do saint Louis and Philip Augustus (despite being a shrimp of slender build and with a long neck which made him even more of a runt then his shortness and slenderness implied, he faced Richard I personally on the battle field and survived. Richard was nothing like the Richard in the Hollywood films. He was a seven foot hulk who had trouble even finding warhorses to ride). PS I'll edit this if "sucks" is considered an offense term here.
