“I love to see a lord when he is the first to advance on

horseback, armed and fearless, thus encouraging his men to

valiant service; then, when the fray has begun, each must be

ready to follow him willingly, because no one is held in esteem

until he has given and received blows. We shall see clubs and

swords, gaily coloured helmets and shields shattered and spoiled,

at the beginning of the battle, and many vassals all together

receiving great blows, by reason of which many horses will

wander riderless, belonging to the killed and wounded. Once he

has started fighting, no noble knight thinks of anything but

breaking heads and arms — better a dead man than a live one

who is useless. I tell you, neither in eating, drinking, nor sleeping

do I find what I feel when I hear the shout "At Them" from both

sides, and the neighing of riderless horses in the confusion, or

the call "Help! Help!," or when 1 see great and small fall on the

grass of the ditches, or when I espy dead men who still have

pennoned lances in their ribs.”

Bertran de Born, A Poem of Chivalry, 11th Century
