Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Knights & Knighthood
So, meriting a higher confidence,
The knight was made Justiciar of the realm;
And when far lands call'd his loved Monarch thence,
Into his hands was thrust the state's proud helm.—
His firm and fearless rule gave wide offence,
The menace gather'd but could not o'erwhelm.—
He bent the rebel barons to his will,
Enforced the feudal vows each should fulfil.
