What does Aslan mean when he says Back let the prince win his spurs?

Answer 1

Golden spurs were the token of knighthood. When a man performed a deed worthy of becoming a knight he was said to have "won his spurs". Peter needs to fight this battle himself to prove himself worthy of knighthood and by implication worthy to be a leader.

In C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia," when Aslan says "Back let the prince win his spurs," he is referring to the idea of allowing Prince Caspian to prove his worth and demonstrate his bravery and skill in battle. The phrase "win his spurs" is a medieval term that signifies a knight proving himself in combat and earning his knighthood. Aslan is encouraging Caspian to show his courage and leadership abilities in order to become a true king.
