  • It's hard to believe this is a Renaissance story with so much female empowerment. 
    • Granted she disses her fellow women when she talks about them doing feminine things like needlepoint, etc. 
  • How does she have faith that she will love this guy?
    • Why does she love this guy?
  • How did her nurse became skilled enough to pass for a squire?
  • When people discover she's a women, they are amazed at her beauty, but not at the fact that she's such a skilled fighter for a women. 
  • What if the roles were reversed and this dude was going killing people to find a girl he had only seen in a mirror
