as a young boy I recall being wild about 4 series in the sixties;

1. Ivanhoe with Roger Moore, based upon Sir Walter Scot's novel about Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe during the 12th century reign of King Richard the Lionheart

2. the French series Thierry la Fronde ( the slingshot), played by Belgium actor Jean-Claude Drouot, during the Hundred Years' War, France occupied by the English, and the Black Prince rules France with an iron fist. In Sologne in the heart of France, Thierry of Janville is the hero.

3. a young Rutger Hauer in the series Floris , made by Paul Verhoeven, about the Burgundy wars in the Netherlands.

4. and a marvelous German series "Die merkwürdige Lebensgeschichte des Friedrich Freiherrn von der Trenck" / The Peculiar Life Story of Friedrich, Baron von der Trenck being Trencks history by the outstanding actor Matthias Habich

did any of you lads seen this series...?
