IRR1NTZI THE ANCIENT WAR CRY OF THt BASQUES
THE BATTLE AT THE CASTLE OF TORDESILLAS IN 1521; REMEMBERED A SAD MOMENT IN BASQUE HISTORY WHEN FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BASQUES FOUGHT BASQUES , WHILE SIDING WITH FRENCH OR SPANISH MONARCHS, THIS ESTABLISHES THE
STATUS QUO A DIVIDED BASQUE LAND,
A PEOPLE IN SPIRIT, IN HISTORY, IN CULTURE AND IN LANGUAGE UNITED.
THE DEATH OF THE (BASQUE) KINGDOM OF NAVARRE THE BIRTH OF MODERN SPAIN AND FRANCE TOMB OF SANCHO THE GREAT KING OF VASCON1A
?THE HISTORY OF SPAIN BEGINS WITH US, PRINCES, WARRIORS, DEFENDERS, NOBLEMEN AND WOMEN, VILLAGERS AND PEASANTS, BURNING WITH THE INNER FIRE FOR THE LOVE OF FREEDOM, ACCORDING TO THE NATURAL RIGHTS OF MANKIND, IN PROPER
CONSCIENCENESS AND THOUGHT.
OH VILLAGERS OF WISDOM, WITNESSES OF THE BIRTH OF KINGDOMS (OF SPAIN) WHICH WERE ALL BORN IN OUR KINGDOM, IN THIS LAND OF VIZCAYA (Means BASQUE COUNTRY, in
General sense.)
YOUR WILL AND YOUR BLOOD, ORDAINED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LABURDf, SOULE, NAVARRE, GU1PUZCOA, ALAVA, VIZCAYA AND NAVARRA, INTO ONE KINGDOM, YOU STRUGGLED TOGETHER TO ESTABLISH ONE LAW-THE ?LAGIZARRA? (THE ANCIENT LAWS OR FUEROS OF THE BASQUES.) THIS LAW YOU HAVE ALL DEFENDED SINCE TIME IMMEMORABLE. BEFORE ALL INVADERS YOU DEFENDED THE LAWS, CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS BY WHICH YOU HAVE LIVED; SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MAN. YOU REMAINED FREE, EVEN THOUGH MANY TRIED TO ABOLISH THEM AND BRING YOU TO SUBMISSION, YOU HAVE REMAINED, AND THE CELTS, ROMANS, FRANKS, AND MOORS HAVE FALLEN LIKE
MORTALLY WOUNDED HORSES.
THE ANCIENT ?ABOKA? -BASQUE HORN
RONCESVALLES -WHERE CHARLEMANGE IN 778 A.D. SUFFERED HIS ONLY DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF THE BASQUES, WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO INVADE THE IBERIAN PENISULA, HIS NEPHEWS PEPIN THE SHORT AND ROLAND WERE KILLED HERE, AT THE HANDS OF THE
OPPOSING BASQUES.,
-AND THE MONASTERY OF OUR LADY OF ORREAGA, NEAR THE RONCESVALLES PASS, A MOUNTAIN PASS USED BY PILGRIMS ON THEIR WAY TO SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELLA, WHERE THEY HOPED TO VENERATE THE BODY OF THE APOSTLE ST. JAMES THE LESSER, APOSTLE TO THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (SPAIN).
?THIS PLACE (ORREAGA, AND THE BASQUE COUNTRY, IN GENERAL) IS A VERY SPIRITUAL PLACE, OF GREAT PIETY, FAITH AND REVERANCE, BUT FOR A FEW UNWELCOMED SORTS, IT HAS PROVEN A VIOLENT AND MOST UNHOSPITABLE PLACE, FOR SORTS LIKE INVADERS, POLITICAL-UPSURPERS, SPYS, THOSE WITH EVIL-EYES, FAC1ST, AND ANTI-BASQUES. THE BASQUES HAVE HAD TO DEFEND THEMSELVES OFTEN, AGAINST THE FRENCH AND SPANISH.
