Of course, I totally agree. You could energize at least a whole town with that eagerness/voltage between them.

The idea of chivalry and knightly things is something that passed through all generations through literature and other stories. Also Horo most certainly knows the traits of knights, or else she wouldn' have talked about Lawrence being like hers when he stood up with the knife.

She could not be active during the dark ages because otherwise she wold know about the changes regarding church.
I am arguing that while playing was her intent she is not particularly in control because of her lack of knowledge in this regard.

From my point of view, Horo is totally in control in case of Amati!
As Lightly_Toasted tried to explain (I guess), although Horo may not know any knights or nobles personally, she is of course familiar with menfolk and how they want to "protect their weak princess". She knows exactly how to push their buttons (especially of the naive ones), and I would bet that this is not the first time that she brings some guy to the point to spend a lot of money/wealth for her and endanger his career.

PS: Horo can in fact read! Otherwise we wouldnt have had this heartbreaking scene at the end of this episode!
