So we know that Reinhard is brokenly overpowered with all the blessings he
has. (A google of "re zero reinhard blessings" will bring up a fair number of
sources describing roughly the same list.)

Even if we assume that his grandmother Theresia only had the Sword Saint one
"Sword Saint: Swordsmanship maxes out, and become able to draw Raid, the
Dragon Sword.".

How does Wilhelm defeat her in a sword fight as witnessed in the anime, before
they sort of become a couple. Does the light novel or web novel shed more
light on this?

Or did Wilhelm seriously outfight the sword saint in a sword fight? I assume
she still had at least the sword saint blessing, as their grandchild Reinhard
didn't exist yet to take the blessing from her yet.

question
re-zero
How and why does Wilhelm win against Theresia?


Judging by character [synopsis on
Wiki](http://rezero.wikia.com/wiki/Wilhelm_van_Astrea/Synopsis), it was not
covered by all. He simply left during Demi-Humans War, and then returned and
defeated Theresia.

One thing - I'm not sure, that Divine Blessing of Sword Saint gives its owner
_perfect_ swordsman skills. I suppose, Theresia only had certain fixed
swordsman skill level, obtained by blessing. But Wilhelm spent years for
training and a lots of effort to gain his skills. So, it is not that strange,
that, if taking into account only swordsmanship skills, it was possible for
ordinary human to overcome Sword Saint in duel. Maybe, if Theresia were to use
any of other her blessings, she would defeat Wilhelm.
