Det Sjunde Inseglet (The Seventh Seal) 1957 Ingmar...
KNIGHT : Who are you?
DEATH : I am Death.
KNIGHT : Have you come for me?
DEATH : I have been walking by your side for a long time.
KNIGHT : That I know.
DEATH : Are you prepared?
KNIGHT: My body is frightened, but I am not.
DEATH : Well, there is no shame in that.
The KNIGHT has risen to his feet. He shivers. DEATH opens his cloak to place it around the KNIGHT'S shoulders.
KNIGHT : Wait a moment.
DEATH : That's what they all say. I grant no reprieves.
KNIGHT : You play chess, don't you?
A gleam of interest kindles in DEATH'S eyes.
DEATH : How did you know that?
KNIGHT : I have seen it in paintings and heard it sung in ballads.
DEATH : Yes, in fact I'm quite a good chess player.
KNIGHT : But you can't be better than I am.
The KNIGHT rummages in the big black bag which he keeps beside him and takes out a small chessboard. He places it carefully on the ground and begins setting up the pieces.
DEATH : Why do you want to play chess with me?
KNIGHT : I have my reasons.
DEATH: That is your privilege.
KNIGHT : The condition is that I may live as long as I hold out against you. If I win, you will release me. Is it agreed?
The KNIGHT holds out his two fists to DEATH, who smiles at him suddenly. DEATH points to one of the KNIGHT'S hands; it contains a black pawn.
KNIGHT : You drew black!
DEATH : Very appropriate. Don't you think so?

Medieval sword
The swords of medieval Europe (approximately 500 to 1500 AD) evolved from steel Celtic swords, which in turn arose from a tradition of straight, double-edged swords which began with bronze swords as early as 1,500 BC.
