'I swear through fire and ice to be your humble knight.' Tells us a lot about and itself exemplifies the medieval ideal of chivalry. Knights sweared lojalty to their lord and fouht for them in times when they were needed. That is also exactly what we can observe here; he stated that he would fight for him and swore lojalty to him.
