They were pungent, pertinent, allusive, succinct, supplementing, as with meat, those others. The Count of Saint-Pol wrote, for instance, 'Kinsman, kill the killer of your kin, and could hardly have expressed himself better under the circumstances. King Philip of France sent two letters: one by a herald, very long, and chiefly in the language of the Epistle of Saint James, designed for the Codex.
What am I about? his heart cried. 'I ought to be ashamed to look this fellow in the face, and here I am making a brother of him. 'Saint-Pol, he said immediately, 'I should like to speak with you. I owe you that. 'Your Grace's servant, said Eudo, with a stiff reverence, 'when and where you will. 'Follow me, said Richard, 'as soon as you have done with all this foppery.
The grandees, the princes in these hideous wars, had acquired a strange taste for blood. What can one say when one sees Jean de Ligny, of the house of Luxembourg, exercise his nephew, the Count of Saint-Pol, a child of fifteen, in massacring those who fled? They treated their kinsfolk in the same manner as their enemies. For safety better be a foe than a relation.
If you do not know them, how does it happen that you have summoned them for such duties?" Buchez et Roux, XXX., 435. "The prisons," says Le Bon, "overflowed at Saint-Pol. I was there and released two hundred persons. Well, in spite of my orders, several were put back by the committee of Surveillance, authorised by Lebas, a friend of Darthe.
Adhémar saw that too, and got no comfort from it, until it occurred to him that if he occupied one tower and left the other to Saint-Pol, he would be free to act at his own discretion, that is, not act at all against the massed power of England and Anjou. Saint-Pol, you see, fought for the life of Richard, and Adhémar for a gold table, which makes a great difference.
The Duke of Burgundy charged Saladin with the murder; Saint-Pol loudly charged King Richard, and the Duke's death, coming timely, left him in the field. He even sent messengers to Richard himself with open letters of accusal. Richard laughed, but for all that broke off negotiations with Saladin until he could prove Saint-Pol as great a liar as he himself knew him to be.
'By Beelzebub, the god of this place, said that deep-voiced hairy man, 'you shall see what the Archduke is when you want him. But I am no murderer. I am going home. I know what is due to a prince, and from a prince. 'Do as you please, my lord, said Saint-Pol; 'but our schemes are like to be endangered by such goings.
'As God lives, said Richard, 'I will see to it. 'I do not think He can be living any more, said Rolf, 'if He lets thee live, King Richard. Richard went away. The time dragged, the rain fell pitilessly, without end. He found rivers in floods, fords roaring torrents, all ways choked. At every turn the Duke of Burgundy and Saint-Pol worked against him.
All he could suggest was that his 'good cousin' would do better to help him to the certain throne of Jerusalem. 'What do you want with more than one king in a family? asked the Marquess. Saint-Pol grew rather dry as he assured him that one king would suffice, and that Anjou was nearer than Jerusalem. He went on to hint at various strange speculations rife concerning the history of Madame Alois.
'They disturb me horribly, said the Marquess, with Italian candour. Saint-Pol laughed. 'I told you that I could bring you in a man, he said. 'Now, Marquess, you have our two clean reasons. What is yours? 'I have given you mine, said Montferrat, shifting his feet. 'He called me a liar. 'It lacks cogency, said Saint-Pol.
