ABSTRACT

And when the Lord King and the Infante En Alfonso entered Barcelona, it pleased God that, that same day, the admiral with En Ramon Marquet and En Berenguer Mallol should enter it too, with all the galleys. And the feast was very great in Barcelona ; none like it had ever been made in any city. On the following Sunday, the Lord King threw three stylets at the target in each course and the Lord Infante En Alfonso as many; and the others were at martial exercises. The cheerfulness was such that all the world must needs rejoice. But the rejoicing began every morning with God, as every morning a procession was made through all the city praising and glorifying God for the grace He had done them and so, until the dinner hour, they gave all their time to God, praising and giving thanks, and after dinner they returned to their sports. What shall I tell you ? The feast lasted eight days.
