  • Robert d'Artois provides most of them thanks to his (very) Large Ham personality:
    • On learning his cousin-by-marriage Isabelle has a Sexless Marriage, immediately offers himself as a replacement for her husband.
    • While visiting the princesses in their prison, says he's come to deliver... (looks of hope on the princesses' faces) ... a message. Then tells the guard to go and fetch firewood and a veritable feast. When the guard still tries to protest that he has orders, Robert (while looking at the camera) asks if he's deaf.
    • Robert's reasons for going on crusade: battle, pillage... and all those virgins waiting to be relieved of at least one cause of distress (while making expressive hand motions).
    • When Beatrice d'Hirson tries to seduce Robert, he thanks her and declines... then slaps her ass and tells her to go put it on ice before she catches fire.
  • Cardinal Dueze, trapped in a conclave that won't make up its mind about a new pope (and have been given minimal rations and will soon have no roof), falls deathly ill, causing the conclave to decide to elect him just so they can leave. Cue Dueze getting up in perfect health.
  • Dueze explains his plan to bring all married priests back into compliance in six months: if their concubines are still around by the second month, a third of their belongings are confiscated, another third by the fourth, and the rest by the sixth.
  • Louis X's P.O.Vs are extremely funny in context. He's basically an Hormone-Addled Teenager (despite being 27) who's more concerned in finding the right wife to bang (and bang her properly after he's found her) while most of the people around him is plotting either to kill him or exploit him.
  • Mahaut faking her deathbed to have Philip of Poitiers paying her a visit. She doesn't fool anyone, neither Beatrice not Beatrice's uncle (who was recently doing the nasty with her in the very same bed), and Philip less than everyone.
    • While trying to appeal to his pity in taking Jeanne back, she flatly reminds him the economical disadvantages he would have divorcing Jeanne, still faking her mortal illness.
