Then doth it well appear
the Salique law...
:08:03
was not devised
for the realm of France,
:08:07
nor did the French possess
the Salique land...
:08:09
until 421 years after
defunction of king Pharamond,
:08:15
idly supposed
the founder of this law.
:08:21
King Pepin,
which deposed childeric,
:08:25
did, as heir general,
being descended of blithild,
:08:29
which was the daughter
to king Clothair,
:08:31
make claim and title
to the crown of France.
:08:33
Hugh Capet, also, who usurped the
crown of Charles, the duke of Lorraine,
:08:38
sole heir male of the true line
and stock of Charles the great,
:08:41
could not keep quiet in his conscience
wearing the crown of France...
:08:44
until satisfied that fair queen
Isabel, his grandmother,
:08:48
was lineal
of the Lady Ermengare,
:08:51
daughter to Charles,
the aforesaid duke of Lorraine,
:08:54
by the which marriage the line
of Charles the great...
:08:57
was reunited
to the crown of France.
:09:06
So it is clear
as is the summer sun.
:09:09
[Men chuckling]
:09:11
All appear to hold in right
and title of the female.
:09:16
So do the kings of France...
:09:20
unto this day.
:09:25
Howbeit, they would hold up
this salique law...
:09:30
to bar your highness
claiming from the female.
:09:36
May I, with right
and conscience,
:09:41
make this claim?
:09:46
The sin upon my head,
dread sovereign.
:09:55
Stand for your own.
Unwind your bloody flag.
:09:58
Your brother kings
and monarchs of the earth...
