ABSTRACT

A n d when the Lord King En Jaime had passed away, the Lord Infante En Pedro and the Lord Infante En Jaime, his sons, were both crowned King ; namely, the Lord King and Infante En Pedro went to Saragossa, and there assembled his Cortes, and they placed the crown of the Kingdom of Aragon on his head, with great ceremony and great rejoicing and a great feast. If I wished to tell you all the great presents and favours that were granted, long would the recounting take. And when his coronation was over in Aragon, he came to the city of Valencia and there, also, were great Cortes held, and there came a multitude of people of Castile and all parts, who received from him great gifts and great favours. And he received the crown of the Kingdom of Valencia. And afterwards he went to the city of Barcelona, where he also held great Cortes, and where numbers of people came ; and he received with great splendour and rejoicing the coronet by which he was created count of Barcelona and lord of all Catalonia.
