ABSTRACT

A n d with En Ramon Marquet and En Berenguer Mallol, together with all the armed galleys, he returned at once to Rosas ; for he thought that the King of France would not be able to tarry at the siege and that it would be well that he, with the seamen, should be at the Pass of Panisars, and that they should have their share of the booty and of the men. And as he had planned, so he did; he came to Rosas and from Rosas to the gates of Castellon, and do not ask me if the people of Castellon and of all the country were joyful. The joy at Peralada was infinite, and in Roussillon it was as great, although they dared not let it appear, because the King of France had two sons of the King of Mallorca in Paris, namely the Infante En Jaime, the eldest, and the Infante En Sancho, who came next to the Infante En Jaime. For this reason the Lord King of Mallorca and his people dared not let it appear that they were pleased at the favour God had shown to the Lord King of Aragon.
