Whilst she was in [[Palestine]] with Richard in [[1190]], Princess Joanna was given a [[jewel]] by [[Saphadin]] as a gift, although she did not believe that she had done anything to warrant his attention. She considered the [[First Doctor]] and [[Vicki Pallister|"Victor"]] to be strange people but arranged for new clothes for the latter. | |||
Princess Joanna wished for [[peace]] and asked King Richard if peace with [[Saladin]] were possible, telling him that his [[heart]] called for [[England]]. She became aware of Victor's true identity as Vicki and was not appreciative of the deception, but nonetheless took her under her protection. She asked the Doctor to learn what plans Richard might have concerning her, as she no longer felt that she was privy to Richard's mind. | |||
The [[Earl of Leicester|Lord of Leicester]] later told her of Richard's plan to have her marry Saphadin. She angrily confronted her brother and refused to marry an [[infidel]], invoking the name of the [[Pope]], who would never approve of the match. Richard almost struck her but she did not cower. | |||
Richard recognised that England could not fight [[Rome]] and, as such, the only way to succeed was to wage war with Saladin. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Crusade (TV story)|The Crusade]]'') | |||
