Goofs

In the film William d'Aubigny dies during the siege in 1215. In reality he lived until 1236.

A large stone is catapulted through the stain glass cathedral window. All later scenes show the window fully intact.

Albany is described a couple of times as a 'wool merchant'. In reality as a Baron he collected money from the land that he owned. No Baron would lower himself to be involved in trade as a merchant, it would have been demeaning to him.
