monty python and the holy grail who killed the historian
Monty Python and the Holy Grail Their first stop is a French-controlled castle. One of the soldiers tells the knights that they already have a grail, then taunts them with ridiculous insults. After a failed invasion of the castle, with the French soldiers throwing animals at them, the knights try sneaking into the castle in a Trojan Rabbit, but they forget to hide inside it. The rabbit is catapulted at them and crushes one of the knights' servants. Arthur decides the group should break into smaller groups to seek the Grail. A modern-day historian, describing the Arthurian legends, is abruptly killed by a knight on horseback, triggering a police investigation.
