The Queen and ladies at court command that he must seek the answer of â?? what it is women desire above all elseâ?? or he shall forfeit his life.. An old crone gives him the answer which is women desire â??mastery over their husbandsâ??. Knowing this will save his life, she demands he repay her by marrying her. He confesses he is repulsed by her, but upon sharing a kiss, she becomes young and beautiful and he is happy.
