Translation
Alors, sur l’ordre du roi, les musiciens — sans hésiter et sans crainte — firent retentir des centaines, voire des milliers, de tambours de guerre et de conques. La proclamation de l’autorité royale devint ainsi audible pour tous, marquant un instant public décisif et l’élan grandissant vers le conflit à venir.
