I vow to our Lady of the Broken Lances, that I desire every furrow of land I possess every honour which I can call my own, from the Countship of Paris, down to the leather that binds my spur, were dependent and at issue upon this fair field, between your Caesar, as men term him, and Brenhilda of Aspramonte."
