:27:02
We shall need no pledge on paper,
you and I.
:27:06
Let Richard promise this instead.
:27:10
Let him promise justice to each man...
:27:13
...whether he be Saxon
or Norman or Jew...
:27:17
...for justice belongs to all men...
:27:19
...or it belongs to none.
:27:22
But that is a Christian teaching.
:27:24
Strange as it may be, sire,
we are taught it too.
:27:29
What you ask shall be done.
:27:31
So be it, then. Whatever money
you cannot find among your own people...
:27:35
...I shall try to find it for you.
:27:38
Does that fulfill our pact?
:27:40
Not quite.
:27:42
This combat at arms at Ashby
is a weather vane...
:27:45
...to test the strength of John.
:27:50
If his knights were to sweep the field,
how would it go with Richard's cause?
:27:55
Badly, sire. Money takes fright
when might conquers right.
:28:00
My worldly goods are what I stand in.
I have no armor and no warhorse.
:28:05
But I must ride against John's knights
at Ashby, or they will win.
:28:08
A horse and gear would borrow
from the ransom.
:28:12
Then I'll seek them elsewhere.
:28:15
You'll find me at the sign
of the longbow.
:28:17
Here is my hand,
in token of my pledge to you.
:28:24
Why do you look at me thus, Isaac?
:28:26
This is the first time I touch a Saxon hand
in friendship, Sir lvanhoe.
:28:32
It is Richard's hand you touch.
