The Flashing Blade ( French: Le Chevalier Tempête) is a French television serial made in the late 1960s.

She’s a far cry from the average action adventure series heroine of that era, but she demands our respect.And Bob learns a harsh lesson about being careful what you wish for as Siobhan joins him and Steve to review 'The Rings Of Akhenaten. One odd aspect of the British version is that every time they tried to transmit the final episode they encountered such severe technical problems that the broadcasts had to be abandoned. The dashing young chevalier and the young noblewoman do not hit it off at first but they slowly come to develop a certain mutual respect, and a certain mutual affection that we have reason to suspect will blossom into romance. The theme song was "Fight" by The Musketeers (written by Alex Masters), which was issued on a Philips single in 1969. The fictional story is based upon historical events during the War of the Mantuan Succession (1628–1631) between France and Spain and its allies.
