[[Edward I of England|Edward Longshanks]] is shown invoking ''[[Droit du seigneur|Jus primae noctis]]'' in the film, allowing the lord of a medieval estate to take the virginity of his serfs' maiden daughters on their wedding nights. Critical medieval scholarship regards this supposed right as a myth: "the simple reason why we are dealing with a myth here rests in the surprising fact that practically all writers who make any such claims have never been able or willing to cite any trustworthy source, if they have any."<ref>{{cite book|first=Albrecht|last=Classen|title=The medieval chastity belt: a myth-making process|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r_hncxYRQIoC&pg=PA147|year=2007|publisher=Macmillan|location=London|page=151|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609130238/https://books.google.com/books?id=r_hncxYRQIoC&pg=PA147 |archive-date=June 9, 2013|isbn=9781403975584}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snopes.com/weddings/customs/droit.asp |title=Urban legends website |website=Snopes.com |date=July 6, 2008 |access-date=June 20, 2013}}</ref>
