This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yeah, but the following is not the description of a king:

"Should our folk require a sword, I am the sword that springs to their 
hands. Asked to heal, I cure their sick -- when I can": He isn't Christ, 
but he is a Christian figure. If they bring food, I eat it.  If they do 
not, I fast or find my own".

That's the Knights Templar (The Hospitalers), who protected pilgrims 
(lost travelers).
