The power of the monarch at that period was much restrained, by a class of men called Leudes, Anstrutions, or faithful, being companions in arms of the king, and sharing with him whatever lands or booty might be gained by conquest.
It carries one across the plains of imagination. But let me return to what I wanted to prove to you logice it is this: We need not worry ourselves over the leudes nor any other armed bands that might be in pursuit of us, because, logice the Lord God will perform a miracle in our favor to disengage us of our enemies." "A miracle in favor of us, Vagres?
A voice was heard saying: "Is that you, Ronan?" "I and mine. Lead, Simon, you good servant of the episcopal villa! Lead on, we follow." "We shall have to wait." "Why delay?" "Count Neroweg is still with the bishop, with his leudes." "All the better! We shall capture a fox and a wild-boar at once! A superb hunt!" "The count has with him twenty-four well armed leudes." "We are thirty!
Given up to extravagance and pomp, it pleased him to imitate the magnificence of the imperial court at Constantinople, and at one time he laid hands for that purpose, upon the possessions of certain of his "leudes" or of certain churches; at another he gave to his favorite church, the Abbey of St.
Chram's words provoked violent murmurs from the count's leudes; not only did they see themselves deprived of a spectacle that was to delight their eyes, but they imagined themselves humiliated anew, now in the person of the master of the house, their count. The murmurs grew louder.

He threw himself upon me; I tried to resist; he struck me in the face with his fist; my face was bathed in blood; pain and fright rendered me senseless, and the seigneur count violated me. I was afterwards locked up with other female slaves in the apartment of his wife Godegisele; a very gentle woman for so wicked a man. To-night, one of the leudes came for me and brought me hither on his horse.
"It is better far to run the Vagrery than to cultivate our fathers' lands under the club of a count and his leudes!" "Bishop! Bishop!" remarked Ronan to the prelate. "Behold what your allies have turned our old Gaul into!
"It is Count Neroweg, whom your father dexterously kidnapped from the very midst of the leudes with the aid of two of his comrades." "Neroweg in our power! In the power of Ronan, Loysik and Karadeucq, the descendants of Schanvoch! Heaven and earth!" "Hello, old Karadeucq, come this way Ronan will not believe that we kidnapped the Frankish wild-boar."
"It belongs to glorious King Clotaire, like all the rest of the lands of Gaul that have not been distributed as benefices either by himself, or by his father, King Clovis, to the chiefs of the leudes and the Church." "Are you not a friend of Clotaire's?" "That great King shows me a good deal of kindness."
