Before things like mountains were typically boundaries since they were a pain in the butt to cross. But with modern planes, and depending on the mountain, cars, mountains aren't as big a pain anymore. Deserts might have also been a boundary before. Today you turn on the AC and drive straight across it. At least for technologically advanced western countries, there really isn't any geographic feature we can't easily get around.

I'd say that the plot element that is most prominent in "The Knight's Tale" from Canterbury Tales is C. battling suitors. The story is about two young man who fight for the love of a beautiful woman. In the end, one of them dies, and the other one gets to marry her.
