The history records that Sancho did not sleep that afternoon, but in order to keep his word came, before he had well done dinner, to visit the duchess, who, finding enjoyment in listening to him, made him sit down beside her on a low seat, though Sancho, out of pure good breeding, wanted not to sit down; the duchess, however, told him he was to sit down as governor and talk as squire, as in both respects he was worthy of even the chair of the Cid Ruy Diaz the Campeador.
Cuenta, pues, la historia, que Sancho no durmió aquella siesta, sino que, por cumplir su palabra, vino en comiendo a ver a la duquesa; la cual, con el gusto que tenía de oírle, le hizo sentar junto a sí en una silla baja, aunque Sancho, de puro bien criado, no quería sentarse; pero la duquesa le dijo que se sentase como gobernador y hablase como escudero, puesto que por entrambas cosas merecía el mismo escaño del Cid Ruy Díaz Campeador.
