Et vueil, Jehan beau frere, ou cas que je vous establis ycy a estre mon lieutenant, que vous
me juréz sur vostre foy et par vostre gentillesce, que le chastel, en la fourme et
maniere que je le tieng, vous le tenréz, ne pour mort ne pour vie ja vous jamaiz n’en
defauldréz." Jehan de Berne le jura ainsi. Adonc se departi de Lourde le chevalier messire Pierre Ernault, et vint a Ortais et descendi a l’ostel a la Lune, et quant il sceut que point et temps
fu, il vint ou chastel d’Ortais devers le conte, qui le reçut liement et
le fist seoir a sa table, et lui monstra tous les beaux semblans d’amour qu’il pot88. Et aprés disner il lui dist: "Pierre,
je ay a parler a vous de plu seurs choses, si ne vueil pas que vous partéz sans mon congié." Le chevalier respondi: "Monseigneur, volentiers. Je ne partiray
point, si l’aréz ordonné." ¶ Advint que le tiers jour aprés ce qu’il fu venuz, le conte de Foiz prinst la parole a lui, pre sent le viconte de Bruniquiel et
et le seigneur
d’Auchin de Bigorre, et autres chevaliers et escuiers, et lui dist en hault, que tous
l’oirent: "Pierre, je vous ay mandé et vous estes venu. Sachiéz que
monseigneur d’Anjou me veult grant mal pour la garnison de Lourde que vous tenéz, et pres en a esté
ma terre courue, se ce n’eussent
esté aucuns bons amis que je ay eu en sa chevauchie. Et est sa parole, et l’oppinion de pluseurs de sa compaignie qui me heent, disans que je vous soustien pour tant que
vous estes de Berne. Et je n’ay que faire d’avoir la malvueillance de si
hault prince comme monseigneur d’Anjou est. Si vous commande, en tant
comme vous vous pouéz meffaire encontre moy, et par la foy et lignage que
vous me devéz, que le chastel de Lourde vous me rendéz." Et quant le
chevalier oÿ ceste parole, si fu tout eshahis, et pensa un petit pour savoir quele chose il
respondroit, car il veoit bien que le conte de Fois parloit a certes. Toutefois, tout pensé et consideré, il dist: "Monseigneur, voirement je vous doy foy et
linaige, car je sui un povre chevalier de vostre sanc et de vostre terre, mais le chastel
de Lourde ne vous rendray je ja. Vous m’avéz mandé, si pouéz faire de moy ce
qu’il vous plaira. Je le tieng du roy d’Angleterre qui m’y a mis et establi, et a
personne qui soit je ne le rendray, fors a lui." ¶ Quant le conte de Fois oÿ ceste response, si li mua le sanc en
felonnie et en courroux, et dist en tirant hors une dague: "Hoo! traïtre, as
tu dit que non? Par ceste teste tu ne l’as pas dit pour neant." Adonc feri il de sa
dague sur le chevalier par tele ma niere que il le navra moult villainement en
cinq lieux, ne il n’y avoit la baron ne chevalier qui osast aler audevant. Le chevalier disoit bien:
manda
le conte qu’il feust mis en la fosse, et il le fu, et la mourut, car il fu povrement
curéz de ses plaies."
¶ "Haa! Sainte Marie", di je au chevalier, "et ne fu ce pas grant cruaulté? " "Quoy que ce feust", respondi li chevaliers, "ainsi en advint il. On s’avise bien de lui courroucier, mais en son
courroux n’a nul pardon. Il tint son cousin germain le viconte de Chastelbon,
et qui est son heritier, VIII moys en la tour a Orcois en prison, puis le
raençonna il a XL mil frans."
¶ "Com ment, sire?" di je au chevalier, "n’a donc le conte de Fois nul enfant, que je vous os dire que le viconte
de Chastelbon est son heritier?" pb 216 v
