God and my right--Richard I

"Thus have we defeated the king of France at Gisors; but it is not we who have done the same, but rather God, and our right, by our means; and in so doing, we have put our life in peril, and our kingdom contrary to the advice of all our people."

Battle of Gisors, according to Roger of Hoveden

Annals of Roger
