A knight of Asturias.
Then King Don Garcia called unto him a knight of Asturias, whose name was Ruy Ximenez, and bade him go to his brother King Don Alfonso and tell him what had past, and how King Don Sancho would take away his kingdom from him; and to beseech him as a brother that he would not let him pass through his dominions.
And with this answer, Ruy Ximenez returned, and bade the King look to himself for defence, for he would find no help in his brother.
