   Arn: The Knight Templar contains various historical errors; for example, an all-female choir appears in the first part or episode, whereas young Arn Magnusson (Joakim Natterqvist) first notices the love of his life, Cecilia (Sofia Helin), in a church choir. The historical problem is that the Roman Catholic Church had no female communities anywhere in Europe or the Nordic countries until the late Middle Ages. Choirs consisted of men or of boys who in the 12th century could sing at a higher pitch than adult men.

   The name "Arn" is actually a mistranslation. Although Old Swedish names containing the element "Arn-" are well documented and have survived to the present day, they are inflections of the word "Orn" (eagle), which would be a more plausible name. Although the form "Arn" with the same root exists in Old Saxon, that language was not used in the film's setting, and German names were not common in Sweden in the early Middle Ages.
