Excerpt from Rogeri De Wendover Chronica, Sive Flores Historiarum, Vol. 1 Circa hos etiam dies rex Britonum Leir, cum esset senio confectus et filium non haberet, tree filias, quas habuit, nobilibus disposuit copulare maritis; sed, ut sciret qum illarum pottore regni parts dignior haberetur, sciscitabatur ab eis, quze ipsum magis diligeret. Cui, cum dum respon-a dissent, quod plus petrem quam seipsas dilige rent, tertia, quaa natu minor erat, setorum adula tionem intelligens, ait, Ego te semper ut patrem dilexi, et, si a me plus extorquere desideras, dice tibi, quoniam quantum babes tantum vales, et ego te tantum diligo.' Que andito, rex cum in dignatione respondit, Quoniam in tantum senec tutam meam sprevisti, quanto to plus cecteris sororibus tuis diligebam, in tantum te diligere dedignabor, qum nunquam in regno meo'cum se roribus tuis partem habebis. Et, his dictis, pra fatas duas puellas ducibus Cornubiaa et Albania cum divisa Britannia maritavit, ita quidem ut post mortem ejus totius insulm dominio frueren tur. Tandem cum hujus facti fama ad Aganip pum, regem Francorum, pervenisset, misit nuntios ad regem prwfatum, rogans ut filiam suam junio rem, nomine Cordeillam, transmitteret, legitimo sibi matrimonio copulandam. Sed rex in prmdie tam adhuc perseverans ira, misit filiam suam con tinue absque terra, auro et argento, atque sine omni substantia maritandam; quam rex Fran corum gratulanter suscipiens, in societatem tori illam admisit et ob nimiam ejus pulchritudinem ut reginam honoravit. Sed non multo post tempore dnces praedicti insurrexerunt in regem Leir et abstulerunt ci regnum et regiam dignita tem. Rex igitur, ignarus quid ageret, delibe ravit adire filias sues, quibus regnum diviserat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
