And the best of it is that this king, or prince, or whatever he is, is engaged in a very bitter war with another as powerful as himself, and the stranger knight, after having been some days at his court, requests leave from him to go and serve him in the said war.
Y lo bueno es que este rey, o príncipe, o lo que es, tiene una muy reñida guerra con otro tan poderoso como él, y el caballero huésped le pide (al cabo de algunos días que ha estado en su corte) licencia para ir a servirle en aquella guerra dicha.
