I just looked up the word "Mona" in Italian, expecting the translation to be something like "Lady", maybe akin to English peerage or suggesting a woman of the Italian upper class. Um, yeah... I was very, very wrong.

The hint made clear that it had to be something in the genital organs, but since I didn't consider an egg to be part of the body, I tried a lot of those very private thingies that I thought might possibly be single cells, but didn't get the answer...

Richard wasn't offering to trade his kingdom for a horse. After all, he was fighting a battle to /keep/ his kingdom. His horse had been killed, so he wasn't able to ride into the action and rally the troops. The line means, "I'm going to lose my kingdom for lack of a horse."
