El Desheredado?

Wood Jim:

When the bad duke talks about his missive he uses the phrase

.....encre hight.....


now encre, I assume is literally anchor...the funny thing is that 
hight, I suspect, comes from the "norse" root whose contemporary 
version is "att heta" (to be named, or called)....now hight can also 
been taken as "raise".......but why the sudden slip into French 
here? My guess is that it may be a "pointer" to de Nerval.....
