     Don Johan Arias, abbot of Saint Claudius, on his behalf and on behalf of his convent, in the presence of Fernán Vello, confronted and protested Fernán Vello and Johan Garcia, who was present there, because they went to his men, and his serfs, and his tenants of Lousende, who dwell in his properties and are his vassals by charter; because they told to his men that they should not say to be his vassal, that anyone that would dare to say that was his vassal, that they would break their arms and legs and throw them into the river
