The Worst Witness


As I remember, a character in this series was possibly the most incompetent crime witness ever on television. Since she was the victim her upset mental condition explains a lot, of course.

After being attacked, she correctly described her attacker as wearing medeieval-looking clothing, an obviusly important clue, of course.

But she forgot to mention one minor little detail of his appearance.

HE WAS WEARING A CROWN!

How often did that happen in real life during the 1990s? Not very often. How many times have you seen someone attacked by a person wearing a crown in fictional tv shows set in the 1990s? Not very often.

So the crown that her attacker wore was very imprtant clue to his itentity.

Does anyone remember the episode in which this happensd?

Does anyone rmember thename of her attacked? As a hint, he dide in 1314 according to the hisotry books, and was an enemyof an organization which was a precursor of hte Legacy organization.

The episode never explained if his evil spirt continued to be active after his death or if he gained immortality though evil sorcery and faked his death in 1314.

I am curious. I don't remember. I think Edward died around that time and so did King Phillip of France. But didn't that guy from Braveheart die around that time peroid too? I wish I could remember this ep, I probably will if I see it but I'm not sure. Let me know!!!! I know it's been a while since this was posted but don't keep me in suspense!

Since no one else has replied I guess I can tell you that the character in question was King Phillip IV the (Un) Fair of France and Navarre, persecutor of the Knights Templers.

Talk about a totally unexpected plot twist, even in a fantasy tv series!.

I just looked it up and The episode is "The Last Good Knight" 07 August 1998 for anyone who wants to look it up and watch it sometime. But if you watch it with someone else, don't spoil the plot for them!
