I always assumed that word here meant things with this apprentice didn't go well, he or she couldn't handle the pressure of being tested by Shrewd and lost his/her mind or betrayed the king or something awful happened. I realise now the word could also mean "broken" like when you "break in" a wild horse, ie, teach the horse that it must obey humans.
Hmm.
I though of this in a very different sense. I assumed that Chivalry 'broke' or 'snapped' causing him to lash out and marry Patience instead of continuing to blindly do as he was told.
