of_o voice_n the_o one_o party_n choose_v alfonso_n king_n of_o spain_n the_o other_o richard_n duke_n of_o cornwall_n brother_n to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n these_o prince_n claim_v the_o

by_o divine_a judgement_n and_o for_o example_n that_o empire_n have_v be_v so_o judge_v we_o read_v that_o the_o roman_n be_v in_o war_n with_o the_o albanois_n it_o be_v by_o consent_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o emperor_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o fight_v in_o person_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o emperor_n already_o possess_v and_o invest_v for_o if_o the_o election_n be_v

age_n be_v repute_v either_o subject_n vassal_n or_o tributary_n unto_o the_o emperor_n in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v think_v unfit_a that_o the_o emperor_n shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o fight_v with_o any_o king_n or_o prince_n of_o what_o state_n or_o quality_n soever_o it_o appear_v also_o that_o the_o honour_n and_o respect_v bear_v towards_o they_o be_v excessive_a because_o the_o civil_a law_n do_v call_v the_o emperor_n lord_n of_o the_o world_n affirm_v he_o have_v jurisdiction_n over_o king_n and_o all_o prince_n yea_o there_o want_v not_o of_o those_o that_o have_v name_v he_o god_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o consequent_o reasonable_a that_o he_o shall_v refuse_v to_o fight_v in_o combat_n with_o any_o king_n or_o other_o potentate_n on_o the_o contrary_a side_n may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o dignity_n and_o title_n of_o king_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o that_o of_o emperor_n and_o that_o they_o have_v the_o like_a sovereignty_n over_o man_n for_o well_o we_o know_v that_o aeneas_n romulus_n &_o numa_n govern_v in_o room_n many_o and_o many_o year_n before_o that_o julius_n caesar_n usurp_v the_o title_n of_o emperor_n nevertheless_o lancislao_n king_n of_o hungary_n challenge_v the_o emperor_n be_v repulse_v as_o unworthy_a it_o happen_v also_o that_o another_o king_n contend_v with_o the_o emperor_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o polonia_n the_o say_a king_n do_v challenge_v the_o emperor_n to_o combat_n as_o before_o that_o time_n carlo_n martello_n the_o son_n of_o carlo_n the_o second_o have_v do_v for_o trial_n of_o the_o title_n of_o hungary_n which_o he_o claim_v by_o descent_n from_o his_o mother_n the_o say_a king_n of_o hungary_n who_o be_v then_o possess_v be_v of_o person_n puissant_a do_v condescend_v to_o fight_v with_o carlo_n martello_n a_o young_a man_n of_o twenty_o year_n and_o unexpert_a in_o arm_n yet_o indeed_o rightful_a heir_n these_o prince_n resolve_v to_o make_v trial_n by_o arm_n upon_o a_o day_n certain_a &_o appoint_v the_o king_n of_o england_n to_o be_v their_o judge_n and_o they_o to_o perform_v the_o fight_n in_o a_o certain_a island_n of_o he_o which_o be_v do_v &_o carlo_n martello_n become_v victorious_a and_o take_v from_o the_o hungarian_a king_n his_o helmet_n which_o have_v a_o chain_n hang_v at_o the_o same_o which_o helmet_n carlo_n martello_n and_o all_o his_o successor_n use_v as_o a_o badge_n but_o for_o resolution_n of_o this_o matter_n thus_o we_o conclude_v that_o prince_n or_o king_n have_v dependence_n of_o the_o empire_n may_v be_v repulse_v to_o fight_v with_o the_o emperor_n but_o a_o king_n sovereign_n acknowledge_v no_o superior_a and_o hold_v his_o dominion_n of_o god_n and_o his_o own_o sword_n only_o may_v challenge_v and_o fight_v with_o any_o emperor_n of_o the_o equality_n and_o disequalitie_n of_o great_a nobility_n and_o of_o the_o privilege_n due_a to_o all_o man_n profess_v arm_n cap._n 4._o a_o king_n uncrowned_a may_v lawful_o challenge_v a_o
