WHERE IS KNIGHTFALL FILMED AND SET?
What will happen in Knightfall season 2?
At the end of season one, it looked like the Knight’s had found the Holy Grail.
However, the final seconds of the finale suggested the Knights had not found the real grail after Templar Master Berenger (played by Peter O’Meara) uncovered a scroll with names written on it, hidden inside the grail.
Olivia Ross, who plays Queen Joan of France and Navarre told Syfy Wire: “I liked that the scene left it open to a little interpretation in the sense that it didn’t save her but perhaps instead saved the baby’s life. Is it the Grail, is it not the Grail? Tragically, it’s what you want.
“You’re leaving it to the audience to decide what they want to believe. There’s this ambiguity where you wish it works, but then it doesn’t, but something else takes over and it’s not what you expected.“
Ed Stoppard, who plays King Phillip, told Entertainment Online that the Grail amongst other things will be on his character’s mind.
He said: “I don’t expect Philip to open a hippie commune in southern France and retire to grow grapes and make wine.
“I think the after-effects of this will probably scar his character, and by extension, his behaviour.
“Now that it’s been revealed that the Grail is in France and close by, I would imagine that Philip would use everything within his power to try and take the Grail back.
“And I would also presume that Landry will be doing his utmost to keep it out of Philip’s hands.”
Season two of Knightfall could possibly cover the fall of the Knights Templar.
In 1312, the Knights Templar was disbanded by Pope Clement V under pressure from King Phillip IV of France.
King Phillip who was in deep debt with the Knights Templar and took advantage of rumours that the Knights denied Christ.
He ordered the arrest of all members and many were tortured into false confessions and burned at the stake.
Historian Dan Jones, who is a historical consultant on the show told Express.co.uk: “I think is what I enjoy about Knightfall is you just don’t know. Historically, I know what happens in the end. Like everything else in history, they all die in the end.
“But how the show achieves that and how it goes about the business of blending its own internal mythologies to the real known history of the fall of the Templars, which is to say they were brought down by a pack of lies and scurrilous persecution and medieval fake news on the part of the king of France at the time.”
IS KNIGHTFALL HISTORICALLY ACCURATE?
Is there a trailer for Knightfall season 2?
