<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ffrickey, post: 2327706, member: 20613&quot;]John the Blind is quite a romantic figure, and was esteemed a nearly ideal knight at the time.&nbsp; At the battle of Crecy he requested of his men &#039;Sirs, ye are my men, my companions and friends in this journey: I require you bring me so far forward, that I may strike one stroke with my sword.&#039;&nbsp; which he did, though he and his men were all killed in the process.&nbsp; </p><p>After the battle, a crest worn by John in the battle and his chivalric motto <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_dien" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_dien" rel="nofollow">Ich dien</a></i> (&quot;I serve&quot;) were adopted by Edward the Black Prince, and since then they have been part of the badge of thePrince of Wales and his coat of arms.&nbsp; (Wikipedia)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
