>>5514977>>5514995>>5515085That is a wise idea, and if we see more jews we will probably see other Christians, and maybe Prester John's realm.
>>5517170Yes, these men are strange, they insult the good values of chivalry and courtly love. But they are commoners so it is not like their opinion matters.
>>5516187You decided to share your opinions with Isnott.
-Only human rule ? Of course God rules everything. But we must not let a dog or a duck rule in our place. It would be practically as absurd as those commoners in some cities that rule themselves. Our good Guelph queen is an example of human rule, so I fail to understand your opinion.
Isnott seemed worried, he frowned deeply saying.
-God ? But... But I thought that you were an atheist ? And no, elves are not human, what are you saying...
-Yes, yes I am a Christian, you understood me well. And of course Guelphs are human beings, being tall, thin and pointy eared does not make them less human than an Englishman who, for his sins, has been punished by god by having a small tail behind his back.
You never managed to verify this rumour about Englishmen, you had tried to inspect the backsides of some English prisoners after hearing the rumour but an English counterratack forced you and Ancel to flee before your scientific curiosity had been satisfied. So the existence of tails in the backs of englishmen was left as "likely but not yet proved". He frowned even more.
-Humans have no tails, and what are you saying, no, their differences in appearance make them not human. What will you say, that dwarves are human with their beards and their short legs ?
You looked at him.
-Look, short scotsmen have two arms and two legs, and a soul, so they are human, of course some of the Indian peoples are strange, but so are the Ethiopians and some Saracens who are completely black, can you say that they are not human while they look less like us than Guelphs ? God created many different peoples of men, or better, they became different after trying to build the tower of Babel.
-But... It is absurd, of course black people are human, I am not a man from Poltard to think that they are not. But the dwarves are not, they are dwarves and any child between them and humans is a half dwarf. Just like elves give half elves. Their childs are hybrids.
But your logic was invincible.
-And I saw some occitan women raped by saracens who had kids with tan skin, hybrids of the two peoples, even if they are children of mahometan heathens they stay creatures of god and human beings.
-But you cannot compare the two... look, we cannot breed with some races.
