I wanted to make a bit of an analogue of the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in which Henry Jones saves him and Indy from a strafing Nazi fighter by making a flock of gulls take to the air in front of the plane. Henry then quotes Charlemagne:
Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky.
Only the problem is that this isn't a quote from Charlemagne. As Wikiquote says about this often falsely attributed quote:
Widely credited to Charlemagne on the Web, though no source has been found earlier than the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
