A
coarse
white
dress
,
of
the
simplest
form
,
had
been
substituted
for
her
Oriental
garments
;
yet
there
was
such
an
exquisite
mixture
of
courage
and
resignation
in
her
look
,
that
even
in
this
garb
,
and
with
no
other
ornament
than
her
long
black
tresses
,
each
eye
wept
that
looked
upon
her
,
and
the
most
hardened
bigot
regretted
the
fate
that
had
converted
a
creature
so
goodly
into
a
vessel
of
wrath
,
and
a
waged
slave
of
the
devil
.
A
crowd
of
inferior
personages
belonging
to
the
Preceptory
followed
the
victim
,
all
moving
with
the
utmost
order
,
with
arms
folded
,
and
looks
bent
upon
the
ground
.
This
slow
procession
moved
up
the
gentle
eminence
,
on
the
summit
of
which
was
the
tiltyard
,
and
,
entering
the
lists
,
marched
once
around
them
from
right
to
left
,
and
when
they
had
completed
the
circle
,
made
a
halt
.
There
was
then
a
momentary
bustle
,
while
the
Grand
Master
and
all
his
attendants
,
excepting
the
champion
and
his
godfathers
,
dismounted
from
their
horses
,
which
were
immediately
removed
out
of
the
lists
by
the
esquires
,
who
were
in
attendance
for
that
purpose
.
The
unfortunate
Rebecca
was
conducted
to
the
black
chair
placed
near
the
pile
.
On
her
first
glance
at
the
terrible
spot
where
preparations
were
making
for
a
death
alike
dismaying
to
the
mind
and
painful
to
the
body
,
she
was
observed
to
shudder
and
shut
her
eyes
,
praying
internally
doubtless
,
for
her
lips
moved
though
no
speech
was
heard
.
In
the
space
of
a
minute
she
opened
her
eyes
,
looked
fixedly
on
the
pile
as
if
to
familiarize
her
mind
with
the
object
,
and
then
slowly
and
naturally
turned
away
her
head
.
Meanwhile
,
the
Grand
Master
had
assumed
his
seat
;
and
when
the
chivalry
of
his
order
was
placed
around
and
behind
him
,
each
in
his
due
rank
,
a
loud
and
long
flourish
of
the
trumpets
announced
that
the
Court
were
seated
for
judgment
.
Malvoisin
,
then
,
acting
as
godfather
of
the
champion
,
stepped
forward
,
and
laid
the
glove
of
the
Jewess
,
which
was
the
pledge
of
battle
,
at
the
feet
of
the
Grand
Master
.
"
Valorous
Lord
,
and
reverend
Father
,
"
said
he
,
"
here
standeth
the
good
Knight
,
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
Knight
Preceptor
of
the
Order
of
the
Temple
,
who
,
by
accepting
the
pledge
of
battle
which
I
now
lay
at
your
reverence
's
feet
,
hath
become
bound
to
do
his
devoir
in
combat
this
day
,
to
maintain
that
this
Jewish
maiden
,
by
name
Rebecca
,
hath
justly
deserved
the
doom
passed
upon
her
in
a
Chapter
of
this
most
Holy
Order
of
the
Temple
of
Zion
,
condemning
her
to
die
as
a
sorceress
;
--
here
,
I
say
,
he
standeth
,
such
battle
to
do
,
knightly
and
honourable
,
if
such
be
your
noble
and
sanctified
pleasure
.
"
"
Hath
he
made
oath
,
"
said
the
Grand
Master
,
"
that
his
quarrel
is
just
and
honourable
?
Bring
forward
the
Crucifix
and
the
Te
igitur
.
"
"
Sir
,
and
most
reverend
father
,
"
answered
Malvoisin
,
readily
,
"
our
brother
here
present
hath
already
sworn
to
the
truth
of
his
accusation
in
the
hand
of
the
good
Knight
Conrade
de
Mont-Fitchet
;
and
otherwise
he
ought
not
to
be
sworn
,
seeing
that
his
adversary
is
an
unbeliever
,
and
may
take
no
oath
.
"
This
explanation
was
satisfactory
,
to
Albert
's
great
joy
;
for
the
wily
knight
had
foreseen
the
great
difficulty
,
or
rather
impossibility
,
of
prevailing
upon
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
to
take
such
an
oath
before
the
assembly
,
and
had
invented
this
excuse
to
escape
the
necessity
of
his
doing
so
.
The
Grand
Master
,
having
allowed
the
apology
of
Albert
Malvoisin
,
commanded
the
herald
to
stand
forth
and
do
his
devoir
.
The
trumpets
then
again
flourished
,
and
a
herald
,
stepping
forward
,
proclaimed
aloud
,
--
"
Oyez
,
oyez
,
oyez
.
--
Here
standeth
the
good
Knight
,
Sir
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
ready
to
do
battle
with
any
knight
of
free
blood
,
who
will
sustain
the
quarrel
allowed
and
allotted
to
the
Jewess
Rebecca
,
to
try
by
champion
,
in
respect
of
lawful
essoine
of
her
own
body
;
and
to
such
champion
the
reverend
and
valorous
Grand
Master
here
present
allows
a
fair
field
,
and
equal
partition
of
sun
and
wind
,
and
whatever
else
appertains
to
a
fair
combat
.
"
The
trumpets
again
sounded
,
and
there
was
a
dead
pause
of
many
minutes
.
