To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But for my part I do not advise you to take their lands, for I know right well that they have the assistance of Ernaut de Doai: in no land have I beheld such warriors. Seek to come to terms with them before you do them aught of harm."6o The notable feature of this warning is that it is prefaced by Bernier's express avowal "/ am your liegeman {Je sui vostre hom, ja nel vos celerai)." Raoul proceeds to lay wa§te the Vermandois, and Bernier is gloomy and thoughtful when he sees the lands of his fa...ther and his friends thus burned; and he almost dies with wrath. Wherever they go, Bernier always delays, and is in no haste to arm himself.^i But although in this attack upon the Vermandois, Bernier strives to avoid taking an active part against his own father, the idea of deserting Raoul never occurs to Bernier. The bond of homage and fealty in this case is stronger than the ties of son to father — a situation in early feudal life which served the poet as his sole and all-inspiring theme. Not long thereafter Bernier meets with his mother and talks with her about the designs Raoul has upon the Vermandois.
