    Actually, as as has been posted, 67-68, I would have been 6 to 7, not 7 to 8

    You can find the intro on you tube. The theme and the two main characters galloping their horses

    A great, very stirring, theme song. Great action, as you have put. I was only 7 to 8 when watching it, but used to thoroughly enjoy it. I did not at the time realise the historical context , but several years ago I checked up on it. It is about the Franco-Spanish War, with the Burgundians being allies of the Spanish. Most of the action is between the French in general and the Burgundians.

    Yes, you are correct on the start of the song. Just ask for the total lyrics online. They will all come up. A great song, with very stirring words.

    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. I do not yet have, but am looking to get The Flashing Blade on DVD. The theme song is great. The lyrics are extremely stirring.p
