** After Danielle punches Marguerite for insulting her dead mother, Marguerite steals Danielle's copy of "Utopia", the last thing her father gave her before he died. She gives Danielle a SadisticChoice: the book gets burned, or Marguerite gets the shoes that belonged to her dead mother, the only memento Danielle has of her. After some thought, she silently hands the shoes over to her. That alone would be pretty rotten, but Marguerite crosses the MoralEventHorizon when she [[ILied intentionally burns the book anyway]] just out of spite at Danielle's punching her. Then the step-mother crosses it when she holds a tearful Danielle and forces her to watch the book burn after she tried to save it. After that scene, there was no way either of these characters could gain any sympathy in the eyes of the audience. But Danielle is still whipped afterwards. [[spoiler:While Harry later reveals that copy was actually from the castle library, it still crosses this.]]

* HilariousInHindsight. Lee Ingleby makes his film debut here as Gustave, Danielle's childhood friend. Meanwhile, the character of Prince Henry is a romanticized version of the historical Henri II of France, with his ArrangedMarriage to Catherine de' Medici omitted. More than 20 years later, Lee Ingleby would play a more accurate version of Henri II in the Catherine de' Medici-centered series ''Series/TheSerpentQueen''.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The manner Danielle rescues Henry from the bandits is certainly amusing, but it was inspired by a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Weinsberg real-life moment from the 12th-Century]] where a German king besieged the castle of his political rival, but a peaceful surrender was agreed with the women being allowed to leave with whatever they could carry so they lifted their husbands onto their shoulders and headed out of town. The king found this [[ActuallyPrettyFunny pretty funny and accepted the women's clever trick]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: When Danielle and the Baroness have a quiet heart-to-heart, it concludes with Danielle gently inquiring to her stepmother if she ever loved her father. To this, Rodmilla soberly sighs "I barely knew him". Is she being a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and implying that she married him so quickly for the money? Or is it supposed to mean she bitterly envies that her step-daughter had more time with her father, while she only married her new husband for a brief while [[YankTheDogsChain before their time was cut short by his untimely death]]?
