King Richard was a stubborn man, but it wasn't just pride with him.
He was clever. He knew when he was being manipulated.
The Doctor and de Tournebou convinced him that he could save face by trading with Saladin.
And with that thought in mind, he introduced us to his sister, the Princess Joanna.
I remember she showed a particular interest in Vicky, who we were trying to pose as a threat to.
Vicky called herself Victor.
Later, after a most impressive meal, Vicky insisted that I dress up, and at the King's request.
Obviously, I felt ridiculous.
But it turned out that King Richard was desperate to make peace with Saladin,
and planned to offer his sister Joanna in marriage to the Princess.
And he planned to offer his sister Joanna in marriage to Saladin's brother, Safadin.
I wondered why he was telling me this, and then it all made sense.
The King's emissary had to be suitably attired, and I was to be the one who delivered the message.
That's when I became Sir Ian, Knight of Jaffa.
The journey to Rambla wasn't long, and I finally met with Sir William de Preo.
He who told me that Barbara had been kidnapped by El Aqeir.
