Question: Looking for title of epic poem - Knight gets into Princess' school by dressing like woman - Old book!!?
I read this book years ago and I don't remember the title!.

I don't remember the details extremely well but I believe a Princess leaves home and starts a school for women where they discuss philosophy and science!. Several men have been sent by her father to bring her back home but her guards protect the school!. One man gets inside by dressing as a woman and saying he wants to join the school, and I believe there is a war on the outside and the princess comes to love the man after he's discovered!. Again, all written as a poem, and I think the princess has big cats as pets :x Any help!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
