Everybody seems to miss the point of this scene- she asks him to lose because she doesn’t know he’s originally a peasant. For her she thinks he’s like Ademar where he’s rich and been winning his whole life. She doesn’t understand he’s only just started winning. She’s not a selfish bitch, this is a very good test to see if he loves her or himself more.

[@jeetdhindsa]

⁠@@heyhey439I believe they're suggesting that Jocelyn's demand for William to jeopardize his career and compromise his loyalty to friends-who rely on his successes for their livelihood-echoes behaviors often seen in narcissists or those with borderline personality disorder tendencies. This implies selfishness, manipulation, and an ego-centric motive. Reducing the criticism to a sarcastic rebuttal, suggesting that calling out this behavior is equivalent to expecting her to be sexually submissive, sidesteps the real issue. It's an oversimplification that some, especially those with toxic feminist views or narrow perspectives, might use to deflect from addressing a woman's problematic actions.

[@puniopenetrante]

You are witness of Robert Baratheon's days as squire. YOu should see him in his days as a knight, gods he was strong then!!!

[@CeltycSparrow]

Can we just appreciate that Princess Jocelyn challenged William to prove his love to her by going AGAINST his masculine nature and losing the tournament for her, rather than winning, so she could see the full weight of his love...He refuses to do this, at first, but then, rather than just withdrawing from the tournament and losing that way to give her what she wants, William sits there gallantly on his horse and takes, by my count, at the very least, between 13 and 15 strikes to the chest, with the opponent's lance, without even trying to protect himself with his shield or blocking the lance or ducking out of the way....he takes the full weight of the pain, hit after hit, and even causes grave damage to his arm to prove his love for the princess. This is why she finally gives him her name and tells him to win the tournament for her. He proved his mercy to Jocelyn by showing it to the Prince and allowing the prince to withdraw with his dignity, rather than crushing him in defeat, as Adhemar would have done. Now, he proves his love by showing gallantry and courage in the face of her challenge. He is a worthy knight.

Jocelyn basically asks William to risk his job and hurt his friends who rely on him, even if it gets him hurt. Sounds kinda like narcissistic or borderline behavior.
