"Outside of the seigneur King, the bishop or Neroweg, whosoever should approach the iron railing to speak with the prisoners " "Will instantly fall under our axes, Sigefrid they are sharp and heavy." "At the slightest event, let the horns blow the alarm we shall then immediately rush to your aid." "Those are all wise precautions, Sigefrid, but superfluous.
The Vagres, who just announced the approach of Count Neroweg and his leudes, had taken a path across the thicket that was impracticable for the horses of the Franks, a good deal shorter than the road that these were obliged to take in order to arrive at the clearing where the Vagres had halted for the night.
His words were favorably received by the warriors of Chram, who, stepping towards Neroweg, said: "Count, we demand of you grace for this brave animal, and we do so in the name of the old German custom, according to which a guest's request is always granted." "King, the custom to the contrary notwithstanding, I shall avenge the death of Mirff and Morff, who cost me six gold pieces.
"I have told the count a hundred times that his cooks are detestable; they do not know how to prepare the food. Tell me, Neroweg, how much did you pay for the slave who is the chief of your kitchen?" "I paid nothing for him. My leudes found him on the road to Clermont, they took him and brought him to me in bonds.
The three of us fell upon him unawares, and threw him down; I planted both my knees upon his chest and both my hands over his mouth to keep him from crying out for help; one of our men took off his jacket, gagged Neroweg and wrapped the jacket over the Frank's head, while our other companion tied his feet, legs and arms firmly, took a large piece of rough cloth that lay near and wound it around the seigneur count.
"I shall have a chapel built in your honor on this very spot, holy bishop, in order to glorify this miracle " "That is far from enough no, that is not enough. Listen, count, listen attentively: "Neroweg and his leudes fled like cowards from the episcopal villa when it was attacked by the Vagres.
After the warriors of Chram and those of Neroweg had long fought in the dark in the banquet hall, they suddenly dropped their quarrel, and leaving the dead and wounded on the field of battle, gave no thought but to the fire the men of the count to extinguish it, the men of Chram to save the horses and baggage of their master and take them out of the burning stable.
"Neroweg, honor is before dishes even if the dish be of gold or silver." "Certainly, but it is unnecessary to provoke a quarrel. Keep yourselves on your guard, and see to it that watch is kept at the door of the women's apartment hand on sword." "It will be done as you order." A moment later Prince Chram and the count found themselves alone in the latter's treasure room.
He filled his cup and drained it at one draught, looking askance at the royal favorite. "Come, Count Neroweg," said Spatachair, "there is mercy for every sin; some other day you will treat us to a choicer feast and you will promise your wife to preside at the banquet." "And by the faith of the Lion of Poitiers, I promise not to chuckle her under the chin too freely."
There they locked up their chained Gallic slaves at night. Such a cave was an adjunct also to the old Roman camp on which now stood the burg of Neroweg. The bricks and cement were still so closely joined that they jointly constituted a body more solid than marble itself.
