The character is at the least an older teenager, probably a young man. And his scene ends happily with him getting to sing, he's perfectly fine. Even though he kinda falls out of a tower, off screen, but is saved.

A very fake cow, rabbits, a few cats... are all launched over walls at characters. Some of the animals are unharmed, but the cow probably isn't okay.

From 6:50 to 9:00 there are several background characters presumably dying of plague struggling to breath.
These are also lots of people already dead from plague.

References are made to Sir Robin having "personally wet himself at the Battle of Badon Hill" but this is prior to the events of the film, later on the same character when scared says "I've soiled my armour!" and soon after "I've done it again!". Nothing is shown and all mentions are comedic.

The character King Arthur is often seen as a christian king. When he triumphs over defeating the Black Witch, he kneels down and praises God. Also there are monks throughout the movie that appear. Their faces are covered by their robes and they often are seen smacking themselves in the head with boards as some kind of self-flagellation. An animated illustration of God and other heavenly beings shows up multiple times in the film to direct Arthur to find the holy grail. They also go to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and Brother Maynard quotes from a holy book that reads like the Bible but has no real religious content
