An emperor, engaged in mortal war, was in imminent peril of death. A knight, perceiving his danger, placed himself between the emperor and his enemies, and thus saved him from destruction. But in the attempt, the knight was grievously wounded; and not until after a tedious and dangerous illness, healed. The scars, however, remained, and gave occasion to many commendations upon the valour and loyalty which he had exhibited.
