Yes and Prokofiev wrote the music for the ballet. I did say that it could have two names. But when I did my degree ( in Music! ) I studied this and it was referred to / called Montagues and Capulets. I am aware that this relates to Romeo and Juliet.
Track three on this album - same as The Dance of the Knights, but you can just see that it's called Montagues and Capulets!

Romeo & Juliet is a play and a film about two rival families, The Montagues and The Capulets, set in Verona and written by William Shakespeare.
The BBC have not got it wrong. "Dance Of The Knights" is the correct title for this piece of music.
Proof of this is at the below two links where you can see and hear for yourself. One link to HMV and one link to Amazon. Here you will find no track listed as "Montagues & Capulets" but you will see and hear "Dance Of The Knights" Hope this now clears this up.
