Carbon Costume

The Black Knight (portrayed by John Cleese) is a minor character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  The defender of a small bridge, he declares the King Arthur and his knights, “none shall pass,” before suffering the loss of most of his limbs at the hands of the King.  There are some Black Knight costumes that exist, if you’d like one that includes the loss of a limb, though none are a perfect replica.  Add boots, gloves, and a long sword to complete the costume or create your own with a black helmet, black and red knights’ robes, and black leggins.

King Arthur is the main character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a comedy spoof of the Arthurian legend acted out and written by the comedy troupe, Monty Python. The king, played by Graham Chapman and his squire, Patsy, travel throughout England searching for people to join the Knights of the Round Table. He recruits men such as Sir Bedevere the Wise and Sir Lancelot the Brave on his quest. Arthur intends to lead the men to Camelot, but after a musical number, he decides against it. Then he is visited by God, who gives him the task to find the Holy Grail.
