Jury-Law books

"
"I beg Your Highness to give me an audience, and not to be angry
at what I say to you. I see ambassadors from the Pope coming to
the court to arrange a marriage between Your Highness and his
nephew (and some wonder if he isn't his son). And I also see
ambassadors from the King of Naples, the King of Hungary, and the
King of Cyprus. Although I may not have the power of the most
Christian King of France, I would like to talk to your father and
Your Highness about the wedding. I see that you are wise and
discreet, my lady. But because of your perfection you deserve to
be on the imperial throne and subject to the crown of France: it
is of greater height than the Roman Empire."
At this time the queen arrived and interrupted their delightful
conversation. After a few moments the queen said to Tirant:
"Virtuous knight, scarcely an hour ago the king and I were
speaking of you and your chivalrous deeds, and the king wishes to
place an undertaking in your charge that is very important to him
and to me.
