THE PRINCESS AND HALF THE KINGDOM

Princezna a půl království

Honza, an ordinary peasant, kills a dragon and gets the princess and half the kingdom. And there, where other fairy tales end, this one begins. Neither the princess nor her royal parents like ordinary Honza. He has no manners and not even the teacher of court etiquette knows how to overcome that particular obstacle. Enter the princess’ former suitor, the ruler of the neighbouring kingdom, the selfish King Egon, who had left the princess at the mercy of the dragon. The princess is fooled by his excuses and forgives him. Honza truly loves the princess and when he understands just how unhappy she is because of the entire situation, he cancels the wedding and returns to his family cottage. The princess leaves with Egon for his kingdom, but once there she learns his true nature. When she wants to flee, Egon imprisons her. Luckily the princess’ counsellor, the teacher of court etiquette, the knight Valerián, manages to escape. He is convinced that Honza is the only one who can save the princess. But can Honza learn courtly manners so that he can infiltrate Egon’s castle without being detected and save the princess a second time?
