ABSTRACT

And so likewise he made the Infante En Jaime vicar and procurator-general of the Kingdom of Mallorca and of Minorca and of Ibiza and of the county of Roussillon and of Conflans, and of Cerdagne, and Montpellier; in order that both the Infantes should live like lords with the Queens their wives, and with their Infantes and Infantas, and that these territories should be the better ruled and governed, and that he, himself, should see and witness the good understanding and the good capacity and good government of each. As you may be sure that no man can know another, of whatever condition he be, until power has been given him ; and as soon as power is given to a person, whether to a man or a woman, so soon will you know his capacity. Wherefore the said lord wished to ordain and accomplish this also, that so he might have rest, going and visiting all his kingdoms and other territories.
