All quotes here have been taken from different sources of media, literature, television, movies and more regarding medieval or period drama quotes in the context of those stories, some might work on more modern setting but these were made with the intention of medieval and fantasy settings. Change names, pronouns and locations as you see fit.
I just wish he'd have the decency to say whatever he came to say in front of his wife.
His wife should track him like a bloodhound.
Let him who knows who he is be no other but himself.
Seduction, as you know by now, for women starts with the ears and for men starts with the eyes.
She is my friend, and there is nothing you can say or do that can stop me from helping her.
You seem a might bit distracted this evening. Is something the matter?
History belongs to those who write it.

IΒ΄ve always wanted him to love me the way I loved him.Β 
We were arrogant and naive, thinking we knew what we felt then was love.Β 
A manΒ΄s desire is a powerful thing. It can reduce a strong man to nothing. When he sees a woman who fascinates him, he will give up everything for her.
Β You are like a golden rose, a rare bloom but no less lovely.
So, you see, you're not the only ones who have lost someone. War doesn't discriminate, Petra.Β 
What you think is indecent, I do to my wife every morning before breakfast. There is no such thing as indecent between a husband and a wife. The only thing indecent is a cold marriage bed.Β 
The earl and I...We were... not intimate.
He fought in the war. He might fall apart, fly off the handle, go off the rails.
Mr. Russell, don’t you think I’m too young for you?
To be humiliated so publicly. I don't know. I never wished him ill.
He wasn’t quite what you’d hoped for, was he, Mother dear?
It is easier to start a war than to end it.
All I am guilty of is surviving, and for that, I will not apologize.
There is no law that gods must be fair, Achilles.
How many times can a heart be shattered and still be pieced back together?Β 
She succeeds because she is loved and respected.Β 
I have waited to see you again when none believed that you should ever return; I would have waited for ever.
Your lips are calling for me.
This is your home now. You're one of us, and we take care of our own.
You have a spine of steel and fire in your eyes, Rosalie.Β 
I've never met anyone as kind as you are.
A little taste before the wedding, Jayden?
God’s given you to me, and as soon as He allows, I’ll claim you as my own.
I brought you something. It gets cold in Nashville in the wintertime.
It seems you want me at your mercy, Princess. The question is why?
I am a slave in your palace.
To speak my truth, even if my voice shakes.
What would you say if I asked to kiss you?
Will you allow me to kiss you?
Do I have a choice? Doesn’t it happen with or without our consent? Falling in love, that is.
I have the power, and you will obey me.

Remember when I told you I would marry none but a warrior, Collector?
I want you to be the father of my child, yes, more than any other man in the world.Β 
I am the flesh of your flesh, and you are the heart of my heart.
My father fought against the infidels during the last crusade. It cost him his life.Β 
Grace saves us, but is not grace beautiful? I think it must be full womanly, even, to draw men in, and to give us a second birth.
Marriage is less about love and more about who is right.
A woman's life is never a fairy tale ... neither is war.
You're not made of kings, boy, but of common clay.
I'm Uther's daughter and sole heir: Morgan Pendragon.
Who better than you, King Lot, my father's strongest opponent.
If we forge a union, we'd have the strength to unite the realm. As King and Queen.
Ambition for its own sake is worthless.
Uther's daughter, Arthur's sister. You can't be defined by others. People need to know you for yourself.
The past doesn't matter. Define yourself in the present, and you might rule in the future.
We are going to build a land full of hope and honor where fear is extinguished, to which people will flock from far and wide, seeking out our beacon of light.
With a little luck, in time, you might fall in love with him. And if you don't, before you know it,he'll give you children, and then you'll love them.
Well, the most enticing aspect for any man is the forbidden. But you'll just have to forego the looks from men other than your husband.
What exactly do you think I'm capable of?
To forget myself. To lose the world for a moment.
One rumour of my death, and you proclaim a new leader! A king could get offended.
If she takes the crown, I'll tell you what you get. Fear!
You have no rights in this kingdom anymore.

All of these sentences are mostly taking by my own mind and i'm not joking. It was hard finding material quotes regarding tournaments in historical or fantasy setting. Some are from shows or media but eighty percent is all from my own mind, please give credit if use these. Change pronouns, names, locations as you see fit. All of these involve the medieval event of a tournament and what happens around them.
I fear I am already bending far too many rules just by taking you, my young princess.
Show me your hands, you will have blisters soon.
Lady Eglantine doesn’t believe in love, only lust.
In the world of competition, only the strongest shall prevail.
A true champion is not defined by their victories, but by the obstacles they've overcome.
Victory is sweetest when it's earned through sweat, hard work, and determination.
Will you not participate in the tourney, my lord?Β 
May I have the honor of wearing your favor today, my lady?
Good luck to you, my Prince.
The tournament is not just a test of skill, but a test of character as well.
Is it always this bloody? Will those poor men die? Someone must see them.
I want him to wear my favor.Β  Only him.Β 
If he wins, the knight has the right to name his Queen of Love and Beauty. And at the feast, they shall dance.
Be careful. A tourney is a grand place for courtly love, but also, for blood to rise and affairs to appear.
Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick.
Kings may be chosen by God, but they still make the mistakes of men.
When even those who rule can sink this low, it is not possible to change anything.
It's my lucky charm, be sure to bring it back to me.
My favorite blue ribbon. Take it.
It will bring you good fortune and you will return from joust unharmed.
I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor.
How about a kiss, for luck?
Courtly love was the culture around the performance of love at court.
And now, rather than admit these feelings, you're dancing around one another with this mind-numbing and frankly boorish mating ritual.
The knights take on the duties of shadows with pride.
Whoever wins the tournament, shall become the prince/princess’ new betrothed.
You want to marry my daughter? Prove yourself worthy.
Petyr survived only because I begged Brandon not to kill him.
When Petyr heard of my engagement, he challenged Brandon to a duel.Β 
You do qualify to marry my daughter.
What matters most is who she will give her favor to.Β 
Her face is one that can create dynasties or crumble empires.
I was hoping for a word before you rode on the tourney, my Prince.Β 
My brother is the one competing against you, please be gentle with him.
The games are done for the day, please, feast and drink as you wish.Β 
You have been staring all day, my lord. I was beginning to wonder if I had something in my face.
Any damsel that's in distress - she'll be out of that dress when she meets Jim West.
Great men do not seek power... they have power thrust upon them.
My daughter seems. . .infatuated with you. I have yet to see why.
The princess is naive and thinks any man who is kind means well. A tournament will only show her the reality of life.
You honor the arena with your combat. May your swords and shield preserve the peace.
In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.
I will be brave for Princess Pea.
As a squire, your first duty is to your knight’s armor. Your knight’s armor is more important than your own life.Β 
You will be knighted and you will have earned your knighthood.
You are hurt. At least let me tend to your wound.
The men laugh and fight and the ladies search for husbands.
Nothing like a good tournament to find a husband, or a companion for the night.Β 
Rumors are always spread with ease in these.
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die.
We're married now, but we still haven't told your dad. This is the right time.
Are you promised to someone?
My sister's getting married. It's a love match. A rare thing. I’m not so lucky. My husband is to be chosen by who can hold a sword the longer.
Why can’t women participate in the games?
There are games for the ladies, Your Grace. But they are less. . .gruesome. And of course, the dancing.
Princes and Princess all over the realm and across the sea are coming for this event. You must shine brighter.
Let me help you with your armor. It appears loose.
As I promised, I return your favor to you, my lady.Β 
The Prince never loses a joust. He will crown his queen and then all will be well.
I do not understand the appeal of this.Β 
I spend days making these favors, let me stay a little longer.
My lady, I do not need your favor to win, but perhaps, a kiss of good faith.Β 
I do not care who wins these games, your hand is already arranged for another.
Men are scoundrel, specially when blood runs hot after a good battle, stray away from them.
These games are done in honor of the king’s heir.
The lord’s daughter is said to have bloomed, and the man chooses to announce it like this.Β 
A tournament is for men to boost their strength, fathers sell their daughters like mares and for affairs to happen.
I saw you on the stands today, my lord. But you did not participate on the games.
My brother wishes to dance with you, my lady. He is all too shy to ask himself.
You were injured. Have you allowed someone to heal them or are you too stubborn to let them?
Princess, you must not stray too far away.Β 
Mother is too drunk and annoyed to care, she won’t mind.Β

All these quotes are taken from different media and some made from scratch about the royal succession line and the troubles it brought during a medieval/fantasy period. Change pronouns, names, titles and locations as you see fit.
You poison a king so that they may take his place.
Have no fear, Stark. I was only keeping it warm for our friend Robert. It's not a very comfortable seat, I'm afraid.
I swear to you, sitting a throne is a thousand times harder than winning one.
Seat Stannis on the Iron Throne and I promise you, the realm will bleed.
I will claim the Iron Throne by myself, with your swords and your allegiance.
If Daenerys is no more than a sweet young girl, the Iron Throne will cut her into sweet young pieces.
Princess Catherine. Your loss has endeared you to the people. They share your grief.
Β You've had your courses for days, but you do not tell anyone. I don't understand.
God would have me wed Prince Harry.
But you are his brother's widow. It is impossible. It is forbidden.
I am every inch the soldier... And commander.
In England, widows don't handle swords, much less a widow carrying a prince in her womb.Β 
And I'll wager that you were praying for a boy.
My mother is already planning my next marriage, though in God's eyes it will be my first marriage.
If you are still a maid, then, Catherine, I can be your husband.Β 
I will raise you up, you... you and all of England. You will be my princess and... and my queen.
Ten years since the king has been on the throne and there is no heir apparent. Only his brother, gods forbid.Β 
Daughters don’t inherit, sons do.Β 
You have a son but you must have a spare too. Gods know what would happen if the boy dies.
The line of succession is clear on these matters. Girls are the last resource.
I am a woman, whoever I marry must be clear on his duty. He is not the crown, I am.
His Majesty has no male heir and will have none but he, Buckingham will succeed to the throne.
By assassinating His Majesty.
Right of Conquest is still a rightful way to gain a throne. Has anyone banned it as a law?
Will you like it when an old man tries to make love to you?
Β God forbid that the king should abandon her just to ease his own conscience. I don't think the English people would ever forgive him.
She is threatening the peace in this realm by playing the king with empty promises. No one can predict a son.Β 
Perhaps the succession must change, this dynasty is large and will survive.
Your Majesty, I beg that you yield to the King's will.
To your wife, the mother of your child. You treat me so unkindly and in public neglect me.
You think he might invade England in support of the queen?
You underestimate the support he/she has with the smallfolk and highborn alike. They wouldΒ  go to war if you dismiss them.
Perhaps, one day this little girl will preside over empires.
Now I am indeed Queen.
Perhaps Elizabeth isn't even mine!Β 
Perhaps there should be reasons to annul the marriage and make the king consider marry another. He is still young.Β 
Nothing like a young bride to make a man forget his troubles.Β 
He will have his heir or else he will have my head.
Tell Sir Francis to double the guards around the Princess Mary and defend her with their life- for if the King dies, some will be for the boy, others for her.
There shall be a proclamation soon, the king shall announce his heir and the realm will rest.
A lifetime of building an empire can fall in a day because of the wrong successor to the empire.
It is not by blood, anyhow, that man's true continuity is established.
He became their king by right of blood; he's held the position by beating the crap out of anyone who tries to take it away.
When the crown is weak and struggles, anyone can come and sweep it away. And in this world, it is allowed.
This small council tried to work out what that meant for the line of succession.
If she were to wed him, her claim to the throne will increase, as her popularity.Β 
While the king entertains the highborns, the prince/princess makes friends with the people they rule. The decision is easy.
Whoever he marries is as important as how many heirs he can produce.Β 
Sons are good for the realm, Daughters are good for alliances.Β 
My father chose me, his firstborn child, to succeed him. He held to his decision until death.
They stole my crown and murdered my daughter, and they shall answer for it.
I would rather feed my sons to the dragons, than have them carry spears and cups for your drunken, usurper cunt of a king.
I understand why you're angry. And you are my sister and technically have a claim to the throne. And believe me, I would love for someone else to rule. But it can't be you.
Father would hate to see you sit in his seat, when it was never you he chose.
The pretty decent king split the crown between his heirs.
Proclamations are good, but this should have been in written, send to every corner of the world. Now we have war.
When the king needed to be replaced, one of the royal family would be elected to be the new king.
Succession is never peaceful. The King new this and the reason he called a council for his new heir to be chosen.
The line must always continue.
That little bit of dragon blood in him allowed Robert Baratheon to sit on the throne and continue.
Our son is a wastrel and a halfwit. We shudder to think of the throne in his hands.
My greatest hope is that you will surpass me in every way, consigning my name to some forgotten corner of history.
What's most important is what he isn't likeβ€”his father. I think you'll find him to be a reasonable man.
The King is easily controlled by those in his council. All too happy to give some of the power away to another.
A king is a martyr to their ideals.
If the world of men is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne.
Women can rule as wise as men, perhaps even more.
Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.
Have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne?
We have royal wombs, you and I. The child bed is our battlefield.
Ten years you’ve been king, and yet not once have you asked me to be your Hand.
The princess remains your best bet to step closer to the throne. Seduce her, marry her.Β 
In the end, history will remember little, as history is written by the winners.
You have not one son now but two, Your Grace. Perhaps some changes to the successions are to be made.
I know why you are here. Men want my crown as much as they want the pleasure of a woman.Β 
I need to give the realm an heir and plenty of spares.Β 
What use is to gain a throne if you are already in crisis by having no heir by blood?
I can give you what she never gave you. Another son.Β 
Are the rumors true, then? There is a child in your belly?Β 
All of my father’s work will crumble if I leave it all to a weak sickly child.
