ABSTRACT
N ow I shall cease to speak to you of this war, suspended by a truce, and must turn to speak to you of what happened to the Lord Infante En Ferrando of Mallorca.
It is the truth that, full two hundred years ago, barons of France went beyond sea to gain indulgences, of whom were chiefs and lords the Duke of Burgundy and a brother of his who was count de la Marche, and they were grandsons of the King of France, and the Duke was the eldest. And they went with, altogether, full a thousand French knights and with m any men afoot. And they came to Brindisi where they embarked ; but they had delayed their departure so much that winter overtook them. They were advised to await the spring, but they would follow no one’s advice. And so they departed from Brindisi in m any ships and went away in many lenys.
