I never was the type of noblewoman to stay by the hearth while the men rode into battle anyway. As my father always used to say with the shake of his head, the blood of the Old Tribes runs strong in me.

About This Quote

The Old Tribes of Israel, the Israelites, were the first people to settle in Palestine. They are also known as the Hebrews. It is said that the origin of the Hebrews were descendants of Jacob, the son of Isaac. The tribe of Judah was considered the most important among the tribes.

The people of Judah form part of the Chosen People who are expected to be a light to all around them. It is said that if you’re not a member of this tribe then you’re not one of God's chosen ones. This is why the tribe of Judah is so important to Judaism and why they are considered by many to be one of God's chosen people.
