A noblewoman is seduced by a strange knight bearing magical gifts. When her husband finds out, he leaves her. So she gets even. Disguised as “Sir Henry,” she wins tournaments, her husband’s trust, and eventually… him. 

The Belt by Dietrich von der Glezze is a 13th-century German tale of trickery, transformation, and what happens when your wife becomes a better knight than you and outbids your libido - posted, appropriately, on International Women’s Day.
