| Back | Why, thou wilt make it well-nigh impossible through not being a knight nor having any desire to be one, nor possessing the courage nor the will to avenge insults or defend thy lordship; for thou must know that in newly conquered kingdoms and provinces the minds of the inhabitants are never so quiet nor so well disposed to the new lord that there is no fear of their making some move to change matters once more, and try, as they say, what chance may do for them; so it is essential that the new possessor should have good sense to enable him to govern, and valour to attack and defend himself, whatever may befall him." |

| Front | Pues ¿lo vendrás a imposibilitar por no ser caballero, ni quererlo ser, ni tener valor ni intención de vengar tus injurias y defender tu señorío? Porque has de saber que en los reinos y provincias nuevamente conquistados nunca están tan quietos los ánimos de sus naturales, ni tan de parte del nuevo señor que no se tengan temor de que han de hacer alguna novedad para alterar de nuevo las cosas, y volver, como dicen, a probar ventura; y así, es menester que el nuevo posesor tenga entendimiento para saberse gobernar, y valor para ofender y defenderse en cualquiera acontecimiento. |
