More like "King, nor am I prince, nor duke, nor count either; I am lord
of Bruyerecourt." 

This is a variation of a quote of one of La Pucelle's companions, a
common born mercenary nicknamed La Hire (ire or anger) for his volatile
personality. He laid siege to a chateau and captured it, at which time
he uttered the above quote, except referring to the chateau he took,
which I changed to my own estate at Bruyerecourt.
