It's loosely based on the schism with the SCA that created Acre.
I have often heard this alleged, but never heard any good grounds for believing it. That crown tourney was in the fall of 1979, the bad feeling took some months to become a schism, and Knightriders came out in the spring (maybe very early summer) of 1981. Is that enough time? Maybe, the production values don't clearly bespeak a long labour of love. What's the diffusion mechanism supposed to be?
Also worth mentioning Boston/Cambridge street entertainer Brother Blue as Merlin.
Other "sca core" movies (though I may be dating myself) used to include the Errol Flynn Robin Hood, The Court Jester, and Man for All Seasons. Nowadays may include Braveheart, for all I know.
