ABSTRACT
And upon this the court separated with great joy and concord ; and the Lord King gave great gifts to all the hundred and fifty richs homens and knights who had come to Jaca to take part in the combat, and he made good to them all they had spent, as well on horses as on arms and on rations in coming and going to and from their places. So everyone went away joyously and pleased with the King ; and so they should be, for there never was a lord who ruled his vassals so well as he did all his, each according to his merit. So, also, En Domingo de la Figuera had the twenty-seven horses returned to the
Master of the Horse of the Lord King ; and these and others, over two hundred, the Lord King gave to the other richs homens and knights who had come from Catalonia and Aragon and from the Kingdom of Valencia in his honour and who had not had notice to enter the lists. What shall I tell you ? No man of merit came to Jaca on whom the Lord King did not bestow gift and favour; but greatest were the gifts to the hundred and fifty knights. And so all departed, joyful and pleased with the Lord King, and each returned to his home. And the Lord King remained in Saragossa with my Lady the Queen and the Infantes for eight days longer and settled with my Lady the Queen and the Infantes that they should go together to Barcelona, “ except the Infante En Alfonso who will go with Us and there embark.” Of which thing my Lady the Queen had, on the one hand, great joy and, on the other, she was displeased, for she would have to leave the Lord King. But the Lord King promised her that he would go to Sicily as soon as he could, and with this he comforted her.
