* De Bracy butchers a Biblical story when he tells Fitzurse about his plan to kidnap and marry Rowena.
--> '''De Bracy:''' [Prior Aymer] told how, long since in Palestine, a deadly feud arose between the tribe of Benjamin and the rest of the Israelitish nation; and how they cut to pieces well-nigh all the chivalry of that tribe; and how they swore by our blessed Lady, that they would not permit those who remained to marry in their lineage; and how they became grieved for their vow, and sent to consult his holiness the Pope how they might be absolved from it; and how, by the advice of the Holy Father, the youth of the tribe of Benjamin carried off from a superb tournament all the ladies who were there present, and thus won them wives without the consent either of their brides or their brides' families.
--> '''Fitzurse:''' I have heard the story, though either the Prior or thou has made some singular alterations in date and circumstances.
