Como era natural, los pueblos se resistieron a pagar tributos que a tanta costa habían redimido; pero el señor puso fuego a sus heredades, a sus alquerías y a sus mieses.
Entonces apelaron a la justicia del rey; pero el señor se burló de las cartas-leyes de los condes soberanos; las clavó en el postigo de sus torres, y colgó a los farautes de una encina.
Exasperados y no encontrando otra vía de salvación, por último, se pusieron de acuerdo entre sí, se encomendaron a la Divina Providencia y tomaron las armas: pero el señor llamó a sus secuaces, llamó en su ayuda al diablo, se encaramó a su roca y se preparó a la lucha.
