Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Ice Station Zebra (1968)?
a.
Patrick Stewart
plays King Richard talking in a thick Scottish accent, a reference to
Sean Connery
s performance in
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Mel Brooks
). Technically, an English accent would have been no more appropriate than Sean Connerys Scottish accent and a French accent would have been best for Richard (and any other nobles of the time, possibly including Robin), as "English" did not yet exist as a language and English nobles spoke Anglo-Norman, a dialect of Old French, while the common folk spoke Old-English, an Anglo-Frisian tongue that has more in common with Old Norse than with Modern English.
