ABSTRACT

I t o o k leave of the Grand Duke and the Company at once and sent twenty horses for the use of En Rocafort, for him to ride and come to me in the city of Ephesus, otherwise called Theologos in Greek ; and he underwent much danger from m any attacks from the Turks. And there came with him full five hundred almugavars ; the others remained in the city of Ani with the admiral En Ferran de Ahones, because of the Turks who made raids every day. And when they had been in the city of Ephesus four days, the Grand Duke came with all

the host and received the said En Berenguer de Rocafort and made him seneschal of the host, as En Corberan de Alet had been, and affianced to him his daughter who had been affianced to the said En Corberan ; and he took up office at once. And the Grand Duke at once gave him a hundred horsemen and had four months pay given him. And so the Grand Duke stayed in the said city eight days, and then came with all the host to the city of Ani and left En Pedro de Aros in the city of Tyre as captain, and left him thirty horsemen and a hundred men afoot.
