Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freida the Jongleur, Vol. 1 of 3 He was then in the prime of life, a celebrated warrior, being the hero of many a hard -fought battle; excelled in all knightly accomplishments; and was so popular among the ruling powers of Chris tendom that he expected shortly to be elected Emperor of Germany besides which, he held at command the much disputed-for crown of Arragon. And so great was his influence over the King that it was said, Though Philip sits on the throne of France, Charles de Valois wields the sceptre also though so esteemed for personal advantages as to be distinguished by the cognomen of Philip le Bel, still, in height and noble proportions De Valois was the King's superior; but this awakened no jealousy or rivalship; on the contrary, the finest - we might almost say the only amiable trait in the characters of these two despotic men was their strong frater nal attachment, and which lasted during their remarkable lives.
