Our infanzons, as surely the Company, conscious of their duty and displaying the nobility of their race, they often promoted their troops at their expense and, leaving their homes and estates, set out to reconquer, enlarging the Aragonese kingdom and conforming with his effort and sacrifice what would later be the Crown of Aragon.
