I was watching 'The King' on Netflix about King Henry V and there is a scene where the Dauphin of France threatens Henry in the middle of Henry's army yet they let him live, why not kill him right there? Was this historically accurate? More in post...

I feel like I see this a lot in historical movies with people in political power. Someone (another King perhaps) comes into another Kings territory and threatens said King or someone of power yet doesn't get killed on the spot, why? Is this something only in the movies? If this did actually happen, why wouldn't they just immediately kill the person right there during the threat if they were going to war with them anyway at that point?

Mary Queen of Scots Weds the Dauphin of France

The young couple appear to have been in love with one another, and Francois's death was a disaster in more ways than one for his bereft bride.

how did the Dolphin (Dauphin) become associated with the County of Vienne?

would the dolphin have been a recognisable animal in inland France in the Middle Ages? Does it have any particular symbolism?
