ABSTRACT

And when micer Agustin heard what the messengers told him that the Infante had answered, he asked them if anyone had advised this. And they replied no, rather had he answered without any advice. “ Ah God,” said micer Agustin, " what great sin does he commit who does and occasions injury to such a House of accomplished knights. I tell you, he has answered more nobly than prince ever did. Wherefore I say to you, let what pleases him be done.” And so it was ratified, and it was done to the grief of the admiral and of all who were there, for they thought it much better they should be killed ; but to the Lord Infante En Jaime it seemed good and that, for the honour of God, this was best. And so the Lord Infante commanded the admiral to set them on shore, safe and secure, in a place which was being held for King Charles. And so they embarked as had been settled. And when they had embarked, the Lord Infante sent ten horses to micer Agustin, for him to ride, he and nine noblemen of his lineage who were with him, and to each he sent suitable clothes and gave orders to the admiral that, when he had landed them, he should give these to them in his name.
