Reading edition

Roman de Rou, 12784;

“Venir a fet avant Rogier

Ke l’en dist de Montgomeri:

Forment, dist-il, en vos me fi;

...

E Guillame un seneschal,

Li filz Osber un boen vassal,

Ensemble od vos chevalchera

Et ovec vos les assaldra.

Li Boilogneiz è li Pohiers

Aureiz è toz mes soldéiers.”

“Soldéiers,” “soldarii,” are of course mercenaries.
