ABSTRACT
A n d the succour was this : that the count Ner1 came as captain and brought full twelve hundred horsemen, amongst whom were eight hundred German knights, who are considered the most accomplished knights of the
world, and the others were Pisans ; and he brought full six thousand men afoot with some wicked Sardinians who joined them and who wTere from the country towards Cabo Terra ; and also of those retainers of Tuscany and Mantua with long lances, each one of whom is considered as good as a knight ; and thirty-six galleys, what between Pisans and Genoese ; and many terides and lenys which were carrying knights and horses. And they came to Cabo Terra and there set on shore the chivalry and all the foot-soldiers and three hundred cross-bowmen who were there.
