ABSTRACT
A n d when this was over and the land had been raided every day, the Company decided to go and sack the town of Rodosto, where our messengers had been killed and quartered and the quarters placed in the shambles. And as they decided, so it was done. They went one morning at dawn and, to all the people they found in that city, men, women and children, they did what they had done to the messengers ; for no man on earth would they have desisted. And it, assuredly, was a very cruel deed, nevertheless they wreaked this vengeance. And when they had done this, they went to take another city, which is half a league distant from the other and is called Panido. And when they had taken these two cities, they thought it well that they should all move into them with their wives and children and their mistresses, except I, who remained at Gallipoli with the seamen and with a hundred almugavars and fifty horsemen. And so they did, they removed to Panido and Rodosto because these towns were sixty miles from Constantinople.
