I was requested to come and explain the miracle.

But I remained in my tracks, like a statue, and said: "If it is a command, I will come, but my lord the king knows that I am where the laws of combat require me to remain while any desire to come against me." I waited.

Nobody challenged.

Then I said: "If there are any who doubt that this field is well and fairly won, I do not wait for them to challenge me, I challenge them." "It is a gallant offer," said the king, "and well beseems you.
Whom will you name first ?" "I name none, I challenge all! Here I stand, and dare the chivalry of England to come against me--not by individuals, but in mass!" "What!" shouted a score of knights.
"You have heard the challenge.

Take it, or I proclaim you recreant knights and vanquished, every one!" It was a "bluff" you know.
