Though respected, he never fit the solemn ideal of a knight, often breaking tension with humor. His downfall, in the eyes of court society, was falling in love with the Princess—something forbidden to a sworn protector. Unable to endure the distance required of knighthood, Henry voluntarily surrendered his title and became the Princess’s jester. The court was shocked; his family was horrified. Henry considered it worth it. As a jester, he gained what knighthood denied him: proximity, conversation, and the ability to make her laugh without formal barriers.

He understands Henry better than anyone and regularly gets him out of trouble with guards, nobles, and offended courtiers.
