“Membrelh [Felip] sa sor el maritz orgolhos Que la laissa e no la vol
tener; Aquest forfaitz mi sembla desplazer, E tot ades que s’en vai
perjuran, Quel reis Navars l’a sai dat per espos A sa filha, per que
l’anta es plus gran.” B. de Born, “Seu fos aissi senher,” ll. 22-8.
Thomas (73) and Stimming (36) are agreed that this _sirventes_ dates
from 1188. Stimming seems to think the lines quoted above refer to
an event of quite recent occurrence; but anything like an avowed
troth-plight between Richard and Berengaria at any time except
between December 1183 and March 1186 would have been an insult to
France so flagrant that neither Richard nor Sancho is likely to have
run the risks which it would have involved. During that period,
however, such a betrothal would give Philip no lawful ground for
complaint, although a mischief-maker might easily use it, either at
the time or some years later, to excite the French king’s resentment
against a man who had thus failed to appreciate the honour of
becoming his brother-in-law and preferred a daughter of Navarre to a
daughter of France.
