As to my heritage, there was no hope for that. Once, when I had just broken with Sir Nele Loring, and left his troop, and times were hard with me, I took my horse and rode to Albricorte, but there was nought but the bare mountain, and the walls black with fire.
"It is not in sight of these mountain peaks," said Gaston, contemptuously, "that I am to be called a foreigner; and as to being landless, if I chose to take my stand on the old tower of Albricorte, and call myself Lord of the whole hill-side, I should like to see who would gainsay me.
"You have seen many sieges and passages of arms?" asked Eustace, looking up in his face with an expression at once puzzled and respectful. "Since our castle of Albricorte was sacked and burnt by the Count de Bearn, I have seen little else three stricken fields two towns stormed castles more than I can remember." "Alas!" said Eustace, "I have seen nothing but the muster of arms at Taunton!"
Well, Albricorte was always a noted house for courage, and my father, Baron Beranger, not a whit behind his ancestors. He called himself a liegeman of England, because England was farthest off, and least likely to give him any trouble, and made war with all his neighbours in his own fashion.
