ABSTRACT

Good gentlemen, they say that this is the rock where Pròcita came toconspire with his barons for the Sicilian Vespers. They went to bathein the sea, where they could discuss their plans freely with no one overhearing them. The plans eventually succeeded, and all the French were killed. And because this was the place where they planned the murder of the French, it is called The Rock of Bad Council. Collected from a townsman in Trapani by Salvatore Salomone-Marino.
