Factual error: Richard I was not fighting his way back across Europe following the Crusades when he was killed. He had already returned to England and put down John's rebellion before returning to France to put down rebellions there.

Trivia: William Hurt as William Marshal repeats a line that he first spoke in "The Big Chill" with exactly the same inflection. In "The Big Chill" he was referring to his departed friend Alex, and in "Robin Hood" he was referring to King Richard. The line is: "Look what happened to him."
Question: An interesting wind-up lute-type musical instrument is played at one point. Would such an instrument have existed at that time?
