And the Lord Infante En Alfonso had fine weather and assembled all the fleet at the island of San Pietro. And when they were all assembled they went to Palmas dels Sols and there all the chivalry and the almugavars landed. And, immediately, the Judge of Arborea1 came there with all his power, to receive him as lord, and a great number of all the Sardinians of the island and those of the city of Sassari surrendered to him. And there they made an agreement, by the advice of the Judge, that the Lord Infante should go and besiege Iglesias. And this the Judge did because, from Iglesias, much hurt had been done to his land, greater than from Cagliari or any other place. And so the Lord Infante set up his siege before Iglesias and sent the admiral with all the fleet to besiege the castle of Cagliari, with viscount Rocaberti who was already besieging it with two hundred armed horsemen and two thousand men
