An Excerpt from the book-


CHAPTER I

In the fertile, rich and lovely island of England there lived a
most valiant knight, noble by his lineage and much more for his
courage.In his great wisdom and ingenuity he had served the
profession of chivalry for many years and with a great deal of
honor, and his fame was widely known throughout the world.His
name was Count William of Warwick.This was a very strong knight
who, in his virile youth, had practiced the use of arms,
following wars on sea as well as land, and he had brought many
battles to a successful conclusion.

The count found himself at the advanced age of fifty-five, and
moved by divine inspiration he decided to withdraw from the
practice of arms and make a pilgrimage to the holy land of
Jerusalem.This virtuous count wanted to go, because he felt
sorrow and contrition for the many deaths he had caused in his
youth.

That evening he told the countess, his wife, about his plans, and
although she was virtuous and discreet, she became very upset at
the news because she loved him so much.In the morning the count
had all his servants, both men and women, come to him, and he
said:

"My children and most faithful servants, it is the will of His
Divine Majesty that I should leave you, and the time of my return
is uncertain.Since the journey will be very dangerous, I want
to pay each of you now for all the good services you have
rendered to me."
