Title: Troth! no honor do I count it
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain
Description: Rodrigo angrily rides away from King Ferdinand, followed by his 300 followers. Rodrigo and his father Lainez had just encountered the king while riding to Burgos, and though everyone else dismounted to swear homage to him Rodrigo initially refused due to his pride. When his father eventually convinced him, his sword slipped out of his scabbard while he knelt, frightening the king. The king shouted at him in surprise and fear, and Rodrigo, taking this as an insult, rode away.
