- Alais breaks down and cries in her rival Eleanor's arms and calls her 'Maman', reminding us that Eleanor is also the only mother Alais can remember, as her biological mother died birthing her.
- Richard's breakdown in Phillip's chamber (the movie version) when he learns that Phillip never loved him. His speech to Henry is also heartbreaking.
