“In medieval times, contrary to popular belief, most knights were bandits, mercenaries, lawless brigands, skinners, highwaymen, and thieves. The supposed chivalry of Charlemagne and Roland had as much to do with the majority of medieval knights as the historical Jesus with the temporal riches and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, or any church for that matter. Generally accompanied by their immoral entourage or servants, priests, and whores, they went from tourney to tourney like a touring rock and roll band, sports team, or gang of South Sea pirates. Court to court, skirmish to skirmish, rape to rape. Fighting as the noble's substitution for work.”

“Si Carlos hubiese casado a alguna de aquellas hijas a quienes quería tanto, no hubiese sido un suegro, sino más bien una suegra. [...] Aquel hombre que había hecho pasar a cuchillo fríamente a cinco mil prisioneros en Sajonia [...] tenía verdadero pánico a ese instante en que un yerno pudiese acudir a su casa y llevarse para siempre a una de sus hijas.”
