A dread sovereign, fierce, and terribly opulent, and every way resplendent to such degree; and this threadbare Swiss gentleman-at-arms, once "my domestic" (as Ottocar loved to term it), preferred to me!

But there also Rudolf contrived to be ready for him.

Rudolf invaded his rich Austrian territories; smote down Vienna, and all resistance that there was; [1276 (Kohler, p.

253).] forced Ottocar to beg pardon and peace.

"No pardon, nor any speech of peace, till you first do homage for all those lands of yours, whatever we may find them to be!" Ottocar was very loath; but could not help himself.

Ottocar quitted Prag with a resplendent retinue, to come into the Danube country, and do homage to "my domestic" that once was.
