Another scene in that movie, adapted from history, was when Thulsa Doom asked the young lady on the ledge to “come to him” and she did, plunging to her death.
That was from when a Christian Knight went to see the cult of the Hash smoking Assassins (NOT making this up!) and the Knight bragged about the power of his army - the lord of the Assassins asked one of his men to step off the ramparts - and he did - he asked a second - and he did as well - he was about to ask a third when the Christian Knight cried out over the loss of life. “THAT is power!” the lord of the Assassins bragged.
Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I will avoid hash as well.
