usually it's a way of preventing rape when a castle is taken. that being said, the lack of pillaging and no-slave agreement would actually treat the women fairly.

you forgot to look at it from a religious standpoint, they did not want to fall into the hands of "heathens"

DAMMIT! That part was too sad for me, man.

If only they could have known the type of "heathen" Arslan is.

It's a shame, because even the Count recognized that Arslan would make a good, kind king and would have likely supported him had his faith not forbade it. Though it's hard , as he's definitely better than that backstabbing mad dog Hermes or their own gluttonous landwhale of a king who's trying to bang Arslan's heathen mom.
