Jury-Law books

Since you're our
judge, arrange things quickly.'
"'My lord, I'll tell you how it's going to be,' said the
king-of-arms, 'I can't be a judge between you since I've advised
you and Tirant, and I could be reprimanded as an unjust judge if
I did. But I'll get another competent judge that both you and he
can trust, whose name is Claros of Clarence. He's a
king-of-arms, and he knows a great deal about war and arms. He
came a short while ago with the Duke of Clarence, and he is a man
who would rather die than do anything against his honor.'
"'I'm satisfied with everything,' said the knight, 'as long as
the matter is equal and it is secret.'
"'I give you my word,' said the king-of-arms, 'not to tell this
to anyone at all except to Claros of Clarence.'
"'Now,' said the knight, 'take the weapons and give them to
Tirant, and let him choose the ones he likes best. I will wait
for you in the hermitage of Saint Mary Magdalene. So that if
anyone in my company should see me, I can pretend that I'm there
to pray.
