"As with one voice, together they spake in one accord: God, what a noble vassal, only he had a worthy lord!"
"As with one voice, together they spake in one accord:
God, what a noble vassal, only he had a worthy lord!"
These are the 19th and 20th verses of "El cantar del mio CID", the oldest preserved epic poem in Spanish (11th century)
The 20th verse about the noble vassal and the absence of a worthy lord captures my attention.
How did the vassal show nobility? What is nobility? What is a vassal? How has the lord made himself unworthy? What is worthiness? What would a worthy lord be like? Does the vassal make the lord? Does the lord make the vassal?
Had both vassal and lord had the opportunity to read "The prince" by Macchiaveli, or "The education of a christian prince" by Erasmus (written both in the 14th century), which one would they have preferred?
What would they say if they met today's #leaders and enrolled in a modern #leadership training?
What would they say if I told them about my professional experience? What could I offer them, if anything? Would I be decapitated? Become the buffoon of the court?
Down the rabbit hole I go ...
Until I look at verse 19.
No noble vassals. No worthy lords. Just a bunch of people who as one voice, together spoke in one accord.
I think I am going to enrole in a Choir.
