"There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it, some could not speak. They held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down prisoners at my lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left.
Then jean de rye, an aged knight of burgundy who had been sore wounded in the fight, rode up to the group of young knights and said: "are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For the battle is fought to be won, and this is what happens if you lose."

täsmentämällä, mistä tämä pätk on kotoisin? Se auttaisi sijoittamaan tarinaa.
En tiedä mitään oikeastaan tästä tarinasta.. törmäsin siihen vain eräässä videossa, joten tämä oli vain villi heitto sen toivossa, että joku tietäisi tästä jotain =D, mutta luulen että tarina sijoittuu Englannin ja Ranskan satavuotiseen sotaan...
...öh. Googlella sama tekstinpätkä löytyy N:Bergin murhavideosta puhuttaessa:
