Now as the King knew that, above all other things, the Queen loved to be told that she was beautiful, he ordered that her portrait should be painted, and that a tournament should be held, at which all the bravest knights of his court should maintain against all comers that Grumbly was the most beautiful princess in the world.

Who acts: King, Queen, wedding, bravest knights, Grumbly · What happens: know, love, tell, be, order, paint · To what, where: that, other things, portrait, tournament, beautiful princess, world · Speech: someone speaks here
