You quickly thought about what you had to say and you remembered that Oldfossil had to search to find a relative, however far away he is in the family tree, of the old lord. He said that according to local customs one relative, however far away he was, sufficed to forbid confiscation of the land by the liege lord. So you told.
-I am from France, a far away land where some relatives of Lord Random Settled, Oldfossil did all the genealogical research and he will give you all the information that you need better than me. When a line moves it can be hard to find documents and records from ancestors.
Some people nodded, understanding, while others seemed to protest. The Rival Lord and the Hostil Lord were in this second group. Then you continued.
-How was life for me in France, you may think, how to describe the fair fields of Champagne under the everchanging clouds of a sky battered by the wind ? It is a land of castles and fairs where merchants trade in spice, dyes and furs, of chivalry and of noble ladies where I lived like the son of many noblemen. I hunted joyfully, I followed the people of Charles de Valois, the brother of the King, when I was in the Capital, and I marvelled at the works of Thibaut de Champagne about love and knighthood, and the glory of crusades. I loved too the works of Chrétien de Troyes, a great poet that sung about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table that I heard when court minstrels recited it before the fair maidens and all the gentlemen of the Court while wine of Burgundy was poured in golden cups. We danced estampies in the great halls of the palace of the Cité under the music of hurdy-gurdys. It is a fair land, a land of poetry, of chivalry and of sweet life.
You looked at the ladies and you saw that Lady Takable seemed to find this charming while the other lady seemed mildly interested. You then continued.
