Actually, that doesn't bother me since "A Knight's Tale" never tried to be historically accurate. After all, the crowd at the joust at the beginning of the movie was singing Queen's "We Will Rock You." Little things like that suggest the movie was trying to have fun rather than take itself seriously. Funny movie, IMO.

According to the filmmakers, the reason they did that was to show the people's connection with the music. If they used actual period music, we wouldn't know that, apparently. And I'm
fine with a lack of historical accuracy, provided they don't try to use historical characters and real places. Once you throw in Geoffrey Chaucer and Edward of Woodstock (not called the Black Prince until some time after his death), you're getting into history and need to leave out the zippers. It's not like it's difficult to do. (And yes, I think it's funny, too. There are still some things that bother me, though. Like the whole concept behind the plot.)
