"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem composed early in the thirteenth century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate, and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and personification of luck. In 1935--36 "O Fortuna" was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff for his twenty-five-movement cantata Carmina Burana. (-- text from Wikipedia.org). This video features both the Latin lyrics and an English translation, along with images of knighthood and a clip from the film "Henry V" (1944).

Those charging knights are amazing! Multiply them by 10,000 and you would have had King Jan Sobieski's charge at the Siege of Vienna. What a sight that must have been! Enough to live and die for.

@MarineCorps413 The Battle of Vienna, my dear Sir, occurred in 1683 when the Ottoman Turks attempted to take the city of Vienna and expand into Europe. The Holy Roman Empire and the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania sent troops to relieve the city. While the Ottomans engaged the allied infantry, the Polish King came down from the hills, with 20,000 heavy cavalry upon the Ottoman rear. The charge of thousands of tons of muscle, flesh and steel instantly broke the back of the ottoman army!
