Roman rule. In this movie, how the bishops use the Christian movement for certain
purposes. Christian teaching was used as a tool to make some people became slaves.
Everyone who denies will be punished and killed. In this way people who dare to
deny the teachings of bishops are considered infidels and to atone their sins, they
must be punished. Unlike Pelagius who spreads the ideology of freedom and equality.
This teaching is called as heretic prophet. Arthur and other knights also wanted
intelligence for British society. They do not believe in something that is considered
destiny.

Told that woads hate Arthur. Even though they realized that Arthur has a king's
characteristic, they formed an alliance. Arthur and other knights have a good
relationship with the tribe of woads because Arthur has saved Guinivera as the
descendants of woads.
