I clearly disherit me thereof and
inherit them without any repeal[1] or condition. The lords and other
that ere there, every man beheld other and said among themselves: It
cometh of a great nobleness to give this gift.' They answered him with
one voice: 'Sir, be it as God will; we shall bear witness in this
behalf wheresoever we be come.' Then they departed from him, and some
of them went to the prince, who the same night would make a supper to
the French king and to the prisoners, for they had enough to do
withal, of that the Frenchmen brought with them,[2] for the Englishmen
wanted victual before, for some in three days had no bread before.
[1] 'Rappel,' i.e. power of recalling the gift. The word
'repeal' is a correction of 'rebel.'
[2] 'Who was to give the king of France a supper of his own
provisions; for the French had brought great abundance with
them, and provisions had failed among the English,' etc.
HOW THE PRINCE MADE A SUPPER TO THE FRENCH KING THE SAME DAY OF THE
BATTLE
The same day of the battle at night the prince made a supper in his
lodging to the French king and to the most part of the great lords
that were prisoners.
