ABSTRACT
And so the Prince with all the followers embarked at Naples and took leave of King Charles, his father, who made the sign of the Cross over him and blessed him and exhorted him to do well, he and all who were with him. And all kissed his hands and embarked and steered for Trapani. See how they remembered what King Charles had said to them ! They all said to the Prince :— ** Lord, let us land as far from the Duke as we can and then, with banner unfurled, we shall go to Catania, ravaging and burning all we meet. It would be a shame for you to join the Duke at once, it would seem that you dare not do anything by yourself.”
