Knights, castles and dragons make a compelling foundation on which writers can develop a human story. Films and television programs centered around this foundation (“Game of Thrones,” “Lord of the Rings,” etc.) are known for taking inspiration or, in some cases, making direct adaptations of classic medieval literary works. Medieval literature is known for heavy themes of chivalry, honor and truthfulness as the codes of knighthood. Knights aren’t around anymore though, so why do writers choose to adapt these works?
