EntertainmentThe TelegraphMonty Python Holy Grail sketch shares its punchline with 15th Century manuscript, researchers find
When devising material for comedy classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the six members of the Python troupe likely assumed that their ‘Black Knight’ sketch was something completely different. But a new manuscript reveals the surrealist troupe’s routine - which features John Cleese’s defiant character describing the removal of his limbs by King Arthur as “but a scratch” - was predated by 15th Century jesters. British Library curators have unearthed a 600-year-old version of the same punchline in the margins of a newly digitised manuscript in what they have described as a “wonderful instance of medieval cartoon violence”. The illustrated Sherborne Missal, thought to have been created at the start of the 1400s in Dorset, featured a battle that unfolded in its margins as well as the texts for the Easter Sunday Mass. The conflict took place between two ‘wodewoses’, mythical wildmen who represented the savage side of humanity, and had the same ending as the 1975 Python sketch.
