he was the first ever to beat english cavalry which took some skill. also his sword is 6'1" which would suggest he was at least as tall and apparently used it with one hand. THe average height at the time according to architectural records was about 4'8". He was a massive barbaric bloodthirsty SOB.
As to the passion play. Jesus and his apostles were ALL jewish - the first non jews to follow jesus are a roman centurian and a eunuch, and that is after jesus death. The crowd that screamed for jesus death was jewish - sanhedrin most likely and there would only have been about a dozen of them, but that doesnt make for a good crowd scene in a movie.
