Recently I watched a documentary about the Arthurian legend. Essentially nobody has been able to prove or disprove the existence of King Arthur. That part of history in Britain is pretty much a blank as to who was running things and how things worked.
The knights in the movie 'King Arthur' (with Clive Owen and Keira Knightley) are Sarmatian knights. Without respect to Amazons and the women, it seems the movies somewhat accurately represents the knights.
