No, she told him to lose. :-)

It's not her best moment, but how does that make her a slut?

Winning tournaments wasn't going to make him a true knight. Her point was for him to prove that he wanted to be with her more than winning.

I agree it was a good move on her part, but did she have to let it happen so much? After the second or third loss he obviously loves her, but no she had to have him lose what, six rounds?

If she didn't wait so long we wouldn't have had the great scene with the raining lance shards(and the big chunk caught by the blacksmithess).

And that's a hell of a cool song.

There's a moral to this story Del Boy but for the life of me I can't find it!

I know this is an old post, but dang, that's stupid.

A good partner supports you in your interests. A *beep* asks you to prove yourself to her without having done anything remotely resembling a favor in return.

Just testing his devotion, and enjoying her power over him.

Come on. She s a bit spoiled yes. But not a slut. She wanted to test him. She was tired of men hunting her like a trophy - to satisfy their own ego - she wanted compassion, she wanted him to hate her she teases him cuz she s in love and does not want to be the only one in love. She wants him to want her. Totally realistic move
Even if its annoying. But come on - relationships have those annoying phases whenever one party feels threatened or underappreciated. Imagine they get married and Joce' decides to play cards with chaucer every sunday. I bet William will test her too.

Actually, I think that she's actually rather immature, with this romantic idea of love being willing to sacrifice everything to prove your love. William is as well, to be honest (he's only nineteen, if I've got the sums right), so it kind of works - and provides an excellent comedy sequence as well.
