When Reynaud heard these words he rose up from his knees, for before he had been kneeling to the King, and said, speaking to Roland and to the other lords that were of the King's part, "Seeing that the King has hardened his heart, and will have no mercy on me and my kinsmen, I do call you to witness that I will henceforth seek my right by all means that a true knight may lawfully use."

Who acts: Reynaud, that, King, I, all, true knight · What happens: hear, rise up, kneel, say, speak, be · To what, where: words, knees, King, Roland, heart, mercy · Speech: someone speaks here
