And it was evil in the sight of Don Ferrante; and he went up from the city of Bini* and put garrisons in the fortified cities. And the Spaniards who came from Spain, as well as the riders upon horses, he sent to the land of Germany; and the emperor's camp increased exceedingly. 1285. And the emperor also gathered together an army and horsement, after he had fled from before Maurice, and set his face towards Augusta; and the fear of him fell upon them, and they delivered the city into his hands. And Maurice also drew back his right hand from destroying、, and made peace with the emperor, because his heart was not perfect with the king, but he returned from pursuing after him. The Marquess Albert alone made not peace with the emperor in those days, because his soul was bitter against him on account of the landgrave, whom the emperor had imprisoned; and he was a Satan unto him all the days. 1286. And the viceroy who was in Naples, hated the prince of Salerno¶ in his heart, and set .ביני * Comp. Esth. ix. 3. || 1 Kings xi. 25. † Comp.

But the Lord delivered him not into their hands* at that time. And his fury came up in his face†; and he rode upon a swift horse and fled to the land of Germany, and poured out his complaint before the emperor, who set not his heart§ to his words. And in those days, they took from him even every thing which he had in the kingdom of Naples. And the prince arose in burning wrath, and went to France and bowed himself before the king unto the ground; and the king honored him much. And they purposed to make war upon Naples, for the prince was great in the eyes of the people and of the nobles in that country. 1287. And there came a hundred and ten ships of Solyman the Turk, into the seas of Italy, to the help of King Henry, in the fifth month. And they burned Procida¶ with fire, and their fame was over the whole country. And the men of Genoa feared much: and they put a garrison in all their cities; yet the ships remained near Naples, but drew not nigh unto the city. And the *Ex. xxi. 13. Ps. cxlii. 2 (Heb. 3). VOL.

And the pasha of Romania* and Dragut were over the host in those days. And three ships of Henry were with them at that time to lead them the wayt. 1288. Now Siena‡ is a great city in Italy; and it had been ruled by the word of the elders§ all the days. But their hearts were divided; and they were found faulty||. And they brought the princes of the emperor into the city, and placed [p] the Spaniards in it for a guard; but their ways became in their eyes as the uncleanness of a removed woman. And they hated them, and could not speak peaceably unto them**. And it came to pass, when they heard the tidings of Dragut, they said with subtlety unto the viceroy of the emperor who was with them, "Now will the Turks lick up all that are round about us‡‡; what therefore shall we do to the cities which are upon the sea shore? Come on; let us deal wisely before they come§§, and send thither some of the people of the land who are with us, lest they .רומאניאה וסיאיני ! || Hos. x. 2. ** Gen. xxxvii. 4. Num. xxi. 3.

And they gathered together about eight thousand footmen, and said, moreover, unto him, "Give unto them weapons of war." And he hearkened unto their voice; and they said, moreover, "How can these men go, who have not been proved*, as sheep which have no shepherd?† Send now with them some of the Spaniards who are with thee, that they may be unto them instead of eyes." And he sent them; but they fell out by the ways, and the Spaniards were slain with the edge of the sword, and there remained not even one. And all the warriors returned into the city, and the whole city was moved¶; and the viceroy, and they who were with him, fled into the fortress and shut to the door**. And the men of the city compassed the fortress††; and it was straitly shut up; none went out, and none came int‡. And it came to pass, after some days, that the Spaniards delivered the fortress into their hands for want of all things§§, and went their way: then the land had rest. 1289.

And the French besieged Lanzi†, which is near Turin, in the month of November, and took it, and put a garrison in the midst thereof. 1263. And they besieged also Volpian in the tenth month; but the hosts of the emperor delivered it from their hand. And also the city of Saluzzi which is in the plain of Calusos, Don Ferrante burned with fire; and its inhabitants went as vagabonds and fugitives into a strange land||, and Montferrat was a prey in the hand of Don Ferrante; and they cried, but there was none to help in that year. 1264. And it came to pass, in the same month, that behold, a large ship came from Spain, and in her were men of valor; and she belonged unto the men of Genoa; and three of the king's ships went out against her, and took her. And they found in her about thirty thousand pieces of gold, and thirty thousand in silver; and they led her away unto their country. 1265.
