Princess Joanna acts as King Richard the Lionheart's sister in the Crusader court at Jaffa during the Third Crusade. She wields courtly authority to protect allies like Vicki while probing secrets from figures like the Doctor. Loyal to family yet fiercely autonomous, she rejects forced marriages to Saphadin by citing papal obedience over royal command. Her perceptiveness uncovers deceptions, and her defiance challenges Richard's control, revealing tensions between personal conviction and political duty in her relationships with Chamberlain, Doctor, Vicki, and Richard.
