Look to it--thou and thy proudbarons, look to it!" "Proud may thy barons be, " said Fitzosborne, reddening, and with abrow that quailed not before his lord's; "for they are the sons ofthose who carved out the realm of the Norman, and owned in Rou but thefeudal chief of free warriors; vassals are not villeins. And thatwhich we hold our duty--whether to Church or chief--that, DukeWilliam, thy proud barons will doubtless do; nor less, believe me, forthreats which, braved in discharge of duty and d...efence of freedom, wehold as air. " The Duke gazed on his haughty subject with an eye in which a meanerspirit might have seen its doom. The veins in his broad templesswelled like cords, and a light foam gathered round his quiveringlips. But fiery and fearless as William was, not less was hesagacious and profound. In that one man he saw the representative ofthat superb and matchless chivalry--that race of races--those men ofmen, in whom the brave acknowledge the highest example of valiantdeeds, and the free the manliest assertion of noble thoughts [64], since the day when the last Athenian covered his head with his mantle, and mutely died: and far from being the most stubborn against hiswill, it was to Fitzosborne's paramount influence with the council, that he had often owed their submission to his wishes, and theircontributions to his wars.
