“Thus, in an old code it is written, “and no one shall hunt in the deer forest without the Bishop of Maury’s sanction. But if a knight shall come with many-coloured clothes, with an ermine bonnet and a yewen bow with a silken string, with arrows whose shafts are feathered with peacocks’ feathers, and with a snow-white hound with long pendent ears, led in a silken leash, such an one shall be aided to do his will, and without let or hindrance.””
