ABSTRACT
A nd when the knight heard and understood their object, which was virtuous and just, he said that he was ready ; that he would do all that they had said and that he would not be held back by the fear of losing the love
of the Lord King, nor even his own life ; and that he trusted in our Lord, the true God, that, as they had planned and meditated this action, that so it would come to a happy issue, and that they might be sure of that. “ But yet my Lords,” said the knight, “ as you have planned so well, I beg you will do something more for my sake.” And they answered very kindly and said: “ We are prepared to do all you will advise us.” ” Then, my Lords, in honour of God and of our Lady Saint Mary of Vallvert, to-day being Saturday, when you have begun to confer on these matters, I beg and advise that, on Monday, in honour of our Lady Saint Mary all priests and men in orders that there are in Montpellier begin to say masses of our Lady Saint Mary, and that this be continued for seven days, in honour of the Seven Joys that she had in her Beloved Son ; and that it may please her that God give us all joy and content of this agree ment, and give it issue by which the Kingdom of Aragon and the counties of Barcelona and of Urgel and of Mont pellier and all the other territories be well provided with a good Lord.” And so he would ordain that, on the following Sunday, at the hour of vespers, all should be done as they had planned, and likewise, they should have masses sung of Our Lady Saint Mary of the Tables, and our Lady Saint Mary of Vallvert. And to this all agreed.
