Superficially the lyrics appear to refer to a medieval warrior who has won a fight against an enemy and wants his "reward", a night of lovemaking with the woman whose attentions were fought for.
However I suspect it's allegorical and would like to hear other's interpretations.
IMO this song ranks with "Lady Writer" & "Single Handed Sailor" as the album's best songs.
