"When Knighthood Was in Flower" is a historical romantic drama and a swashbuckler. The events in the film occur during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. The king's sister Mary Tudor is in love with a brave young soldier, but is being forced into a hated marriage with an old and ugly monarch.
