Where is my gracious
lord of Canterbury?
:06:38
God and his angels guard your sacred
throne and make you long become it.
:06:44
Sure we thank you.
:06:45
My learned lord,
we pray you to proceed...
:06:48
and justly and religiously unfold...
:06:51
why the law salique
that they have in France,
:06:54
or should or should not
bar us in our claim.
:06:58
And pray, take heed
how you impawn our person,
:07:03
how you awake
our sleeping sword of war.
:07:07
We charge you,
in the name of God, take heed.
:07:11
For never two such kingdoms did
contend without much fall of blood.
:07:19
Then hear me,
gracious sovereign.
:07:22
There is no bar to make against
your highness' claim to France...
:07:27
but this, which they
produce from Pharamond.
:07:33
"In terram salicam
mulieres ne succedant."
:07:37
"No woman shall succeed
in Salique land."
:07:43
Which Salique land
the French unjustly gloze...
:07:47
to be the realm of France.
:07:49
Yet their own authors
faithfully affirm...
:07:53
that the land Salique
lies in Germany...
:07:56
between the floods
of Sala and of Elbe.
