Okay, so what if someone said that their persona believed the King had
to be mightier than him, and had to be able to best him in combat. Do
we then prevent women from fighting for non-fighting men because he
couldn't respect this "King"?

How about someone with a Christian persona... do we then prevent
anyone with a Muslim persona from fighting for the crown because
there's no way this one player could bend his knee to a Muslim King?

If your persona gets to dictate the rules and make certain
requirements, why can't everyone's "needs" in a ruler be accommodated?
The current system happens to support your character's desires in a
ruler, but that doesn't mean it's any more justified or reasonable
than those other scenarios.

On the off chance that two men did happen to win, why couldn't your
persona worship the princess while they were on the thrones? And for
the couple of months between Coronation and Crown Tournament, how
about pledging your sword to a Baroness? Or enjoy some schtick where
you wait for the "one true Queen" to return? Our middle name here is
"Creative" after all, if the situation arises, use it as an
opportunity to stretch your creativity.
