   the movie is Ever After: A Cinderella Story and it is referencing the siege of Weinsberg.
   
   in 1140 King Conrad III defeated the Duke of Welf and placed Weinsberg under siege. the wives of the besieged castle negotiated a surrender which granted them the right to leave with whatever they could carry on their shoulders. The king allowed them that much.
   
   Leaving everything else aside, each woman took her own husband on her shoulders and carried him out. When the king saw what was happening, he laughed and accepted the women's clever trick.
   
   "A king" he said, "should always stand by his word."
