King Sancho of Navarre was excessively friendly, with a gift of six white stallions, all housed, for Dame Jehane; nobody knew why or wherefore at the time, except Bertran de Born (O thief unrepentant!).
'Countess Jehane, with her ladies, being set in a great balcony of red and white roses, herself all in rose-coloured silk with a chaplet of purple flowers, the first day came Count Richard in green armour and a surcoat of the same embroidered with a naked man, a branch of yellow broom in his helm.

None held up against him that day; the Duke of Burgundy fell and brake his collar-bone.

The second day he drove into the melee suddenly, when there was a great press of spears, all in red with a flaming sun on his breast.

He sat a blood-horse of Spain, bright chestnut colour and housed in red.

Then, I tell you, we saw horses and men sunder their loves.
