1:18:02
Kill Griswold? But how?
1:18:03
Whose is the deadliest
blade in England?
1:18:06
Who is the only man alive who
can best Griswold in mortal combat?
1:18:09
Only the Black Fox!
1:18:10
But the Fox is a commoner
and cannot fight in tournament.
1:18:13
We shall see.
1:18:16
No, Ravenhurst,
I do not understand.
1:18:18
What do you mean Griswold
himself suggested a solution?
1:18:21
You yourself heard him, sire.
1:18:23
He said were the
jester of noble rank,
1:18:24
he would challenge
him to mortal combat.
1:18:26
But the jester cannot fight in
tournament! He's a commoner.
1:18:29
Then, sire,
knight the jester.
1:18:33
Knight the jester?!
1:18:34
Griswold can then challenge him for
the hand of the princess Gwendolyn,
1:18:37
and by the rules of chivalry,
she must wed the victor!
1:18:43
Knight the jester.
Sir Griswold will challenge him.
1:18:47
He dare not refuse.
1:18:50
They meet at the
tournament, tomorrow,
1:18:53
Sir Griswold's lance
runs the jester through,
1:18:56
and the marriage and
the alliance proceed.
1:18:59
Yea? Hm. Ha!
Ha! Magnificent!
1:19:03
Thank you, sire.
1:19:04
But your majesty,
knighthood is an arduous ritual!
1:19:07
It will take three years
to knight the jester.
1:19:10
Three years? Nonsense!
1:19:12
Ravenhurst,
take that nincompoop,
1:19:14
and knight that nincompoop
by noon tomorrow!
1:19:18
Sire.
1:19:22
By order of his
sovereign majesty,
1:19:23
the jester Giacomo shall enter
upon a series of tests of manhood,
1:19:27
skill, and courage requisite to
his becoming a knight of the realm.
1:19:31
M-me a knight? But why?
1:19:33
To make you eligible for the
hand of the princess Gwendolyn.
1:19:36
M-marry the princess? W-when?
1:19:38
Upon your passing
each and every test.
1:19:40
Oh! Well that's different.
1:19:41
It takes four or five years
to become a knight, doesn't it?
1:19:44
We shall see.
Let the tests begin!
1:19:47
Uh, w-wait! What's
the hurry? I- b- ch-
1:19:51
He must scale a stone
wall in full armor!
