On a side note, what or why was Winia knitting when she was sitting next to Chris in the carriage (last episode, on way to Forsyth's coronation)?

kay_willow and I discussed that at some length without quite coming to a definite conclusion. However, I'm leaning toward the explanation that, during medieval times, even the highest born ladies spent an awful lot of time knitting, sewing, spinning, embroidering, etc., so it's not at all strange that Winia should do the same.

Especially if she finds herself completely unoccupied otherwise and as such needs some way of filling the time. *cough*
