The film itself, due in the summer, follows the adventures of a Medieval squire, William (played by Heath Ledger), who, after his Master dies unexpectedly, decides to try jousting and hits the road with a couple of friends. An unknown writer named Chaucer agrees to forge genealogy papers to provide William with a fresh history that will pass him off as a knight. With an acceptable pedigree now in hand, the young squire sets out to prove himself at jousting competitions throughout the land. Finding time, of course, to be chivalrous on the way.
The official sitefor ‘A Knight’s Tale’ features a music station that just might be playing some Bowie, but it’s hardly worth leaving the comfort of BowieRadioto find out.
