To the age of fourteen I was brought up in a castle, compared with which all the castles of the German barons would not have been fit for stabling, and one of my robes would have bought half the province of Westphalia.
Hasta que tuve catorce años, me criáron en un palacio al qual no hubieran podido servir de caballeriza todas las quintas de barones tudescos, y era mas rico uno de mis trages que todas las magnificencias de la Vesfalia.
