Several of the Clergy of the Cathedral presently appeared in procession, bringing with them the book of the Gospels on which Richard had taken hisinstallation oath, with others of the sacred treasures of the Church, preserved in gold cases. The Priests were followed by a few of theNorman Knights and Nobles, some of the burgesses of Rouen, and, toRichard's great joy, by Alberic de Montemar himself. The two boys stoodlooking eagerly at each other, while preparation was made for theceremony of the... King's oath.
The stone table in the middle of the room was cleared, and arranged so asin some degree to resemble the Altar in the Cathedral; then the Count deHarcourt, standing before it, and holding the King's hand, demanded ofhim whether he would undertake to be the friend, protector, and good Lordof Richard, Duke of Normandy, guarding him from all his enemies, and everseeking his welfare. Louis, with his hand on the Gospels, "swore that sohe would. " "Amen!" returned Bernard the Dane, solemnly, "and as thou keepest thatoath to the fatherless child, so may the Lord do unto thine house!" Then followed the ceremony, which had been interrupted the night before, of the homage and oath of allegiance which Richard owed to the King, and, on the other hand, the King's formal reception of him as a vassal, holding, under him, the two dukedoms of Normandy and Brittany.
