ABSTRACT
And upon this they rose and went to dine, thinking that on the following day justice would be done. But the Lord Infante En Jaime, after the sentence was given and confirmed, wished to exercise mercy and did not wish to repay evil for evil; rather he remembered the words of the Gospel which says that God does not wish the death of the sinner but his conversion. Wherefore he did not wish for the death of the Prince but that, through him, peace and concord might ensue, and especially as he knew that he had no guilt in anything his father, King Charles, had done; but rather he had heard it said, and it was the truth, that he was much displeased at the death of King Conradin. And so also, it was certain that the Prince was a near kinsman of the Lord King, his father, and so he was his likewise.
