were not Palmendos and Ozalio notwithstanding they séemed good and hardy champions descended of some great birth in that they were so worthily accompanied with women of choise and singular beauty as also Gentlemen of civil behaviour Hereupon many Knights jousted with the County who still bare away the honour of the field Lynedes all this while not arming himself for the worthy successe of his cousin deservred high comendation whereof his Lady was not a little proud to sée her husband perform such chivalry Rifarano and Lecefin envying the Counties glory intended to sée how they should spéed in the joust yet they desired to defer it till the last day when they vanquishing the County and Lynedes his cousin might bear away the whole praise of the Triumph but others came in the mean time and altered their intent as you at large shall perceive hereafter CHAP. XIII How Arnedes Sonne to the King of France and Recinde his Cousin Sonne to the King of Castile came to Constantinople where Arnedes vanquished Lynedes and his cousin in the Ioust by which occasion they were greatly honoured of the Emperour THe King of France father to Lewis Duke of Burgundy being at the extream point of his life among other things remembred that when the peace was concluded between the Emperour Palmerin and him they determined upon an alliance by marriage if God granted them issue whereby to do it to the end that in the heroical house of France sons and daughters might be nourished proceeding from such worthy Ancestors as the like might not be found through the whole world For this cause when the time likewise should conveniently agree therewith he commanded his son to remember the Emperour of his promise which Prince Lewis promising his dying father to perform with exceeding sorrow accomplished his funerals and making choice afterward for his own fancy in hope to fulfill his fathers desire in his issue he married with the daughter to the King of Castile by whom he had three sons and two daughters that were born at a birth His eldest son was named Arnedes whose mind was evermore given to arms and military discipline wherein time and use made him so expert as he was esteemed the onely champion of France it came so to passe as the King of France married one of his daughters with the King of Sicily at whose marriage Arnedes won such fame by his chivalry as the report of him was blazed thorow many provinces To this marriage likewise came one of his cousins son to the King of Castile and named Recinde who conceived so goodliking of Arnedes behaviour that they sware an inviolable league of amity between them twain never to forsake each others company in matters of arms wherwith the Queen was highly contented because she loved her cousin Recinde with intire affection King Lewis seeing his son Arnedes of years to have a wife and fearing he should elsewhere dispose his liking one day called him into his chamber and thus conferred with him My son such is the natural inclination of my love towards thee as I would not wish any thing to thee but to have thee as well contented therewith as my self to this end I use these speeches for that our late Kingly father of famous memory at the very shutting up of his latest days gave me charge to join thee in marriage with the Emperors daughter of Constantinople that such issue as no doubt shall proceed from you both may somewhat resemble their famous Ancestors Wherefore I am determined right soon to send an Embassage to him to solicite this marriage which I hope he will like well of and this I can assure thee if fame tell no leasings that the Princess Philocrista now aged sixteen years is a Lady of such rare and singular beauty as nature hath not framed her like under the moving of these eight Spheres When the Prince Arnedes saw that his father talked so courteously with him about these affairs he humbly intreated him not to travel any further in the matter for there was time enough hereafter to deal in such occasions wherewith the King pacified him because he saw his son so cold as he thought in matter of marriage nor would he trouble him any more therewith afterward But the young Prince wise and advised in concealing his own desires having long before heard fair Philocrista commended beyond compare as also the déeds of the Knights in the Emperour Palmerins Court he had no leisure now to forbid them his remembrance so that fain would he compasse a secret journey to Constantinople intending if the Princesse pleased to demand her of the Emperour in marriage and if his Majesty would not consent thereto he intended to do such exploits in Greece as the honourable praise of them should compasse his love This was the project of Arnedes resolution which in secret he imparted to his cousin Recinde who with mighty perswasions animated him herein vowing that till death they would loyally continue friendly companions and so well govern themselves by disguising their persons and contrarying their languages in these affairs as the most skilfull head should not search the depth of their intent When the two cousins were thus determined Arnedes imagining it no wisedom to juggle with his father went and requested a favour at his Highnesse hand the effect whereof was thus Gracious Lord and Father quoth he my desire is without your displeasure that I may go sée the Princess Philocrista as well to like as love before any motion of marriage and because my cousin Recinde will bear me company I would have your Majesty so perswaded that in secret disguising we will passe unknown of any much lesse give occasion of suspect what we are not doubting but by our vertuous behaviour to yéeld you content by our voyage and our selves good report Beside the world is well acquainted therewith that this Emperour of Constantinople had not won such fame and renown but onely by the innumerables Trophies erected in divers regions of his youthfull travels which are examples sufficient for Knights of high desire not to desist from worthy enterprizes for the object of death who without regard of time or place pursueth in ambush the steps of the worthiest Nor let doubt of our stay in Greece hinder us good father for as we go not to build any dwelling there so is the hope of our return to be expected more spéedy It greatly displeaseth me answered the King that I have promised to mine own discontentment and which much more will redownd to your disadvantage but séeing I have past my word and in this sort you mean personally to visit Greece go in Gods name who guide and send you safely home again else will your stay more hurt me then can you imagine Humbly taking his leave of the King because he would not have his departure known he secretly got him to Marseilles accompanied with none but his cousin Recinde his dwarf and thrée other

from all Countreys Herewith he discoursed the successe of Arnedes against the County of Pelada and his cousin and how the two Frenchmen continued Masters of the field But can none in the Emperours Court quoth Palmendos where are such store of valiant Gentlemen out go those French cousins in déeds of Arms Truly sir answered the old Knight it is a matter much to be marvelled neverthelesse I think if Belcar son to the King of Hungaria and brother to the Bridegroom that shal be could come thither he would dispossesse the French men of the victory they have gotten of County and Lynedes considering what fame is daily bruited abroad of him for his rare prowess in guarding the adventure of Francelina And since the time of his famous attempt no Knight hath there arrived in hope to end the enchantment but Belcar evermore hath béen his conquerour yet Francelina continueth in the Castle of the Fairies stil and shall till some Knight more fortunate then Belcar can get her forth notwithstanding he hath vowed no one shall do it séeing himself hath failed in the trial except he first surpasse him in valor and prowesse Palmendos hearing the name of Francelina was assailed with such a sudden and vehement passion procéeding from the unquenchable flame wherein his heart lay burning for her love as his countenance altered and his very soul was touched with the word Francelina Wherefore most instantly he desired the Knight his Host to tell him of what race the Lady was discended and withall to procéed in discourse of the adventure which so many worthy Knights had lost their labours about likewise to tell him in what Country the Castle was where the Fairies had appointed this enchantment because he had sundry times heard spéeches thereof yet could not méet with any one to resolve him of the truth Know then good Sir answered the old Knight that this Lady is one of the fairest and most gracious Princesses that this earthly habitation enjoies between the two Tropiques of Heaven Daughter to the King of Thessaly now prisoner to the great Turk she being taken forth of her Cradle and inclosed in the Castle of Carderia by the thrée inchanting Sisters of the Island because they foresaw by their Magicall Art that her Father who was their noble Friend never could be delivered from the captivity of the Infidels but by the means of some perfect accomplished Knight Thus did they direct this enchantment that the readinesse of Francelinaes beauty might be blazed by them through all Regions and desire to gain the Kingdome of Thessaly for he that shall deliver the Lady must enjoy her as his Wife next heir after the death of the captive King might incourage Knights to come prove this adventure whither many have gone in hope of happy conquest as the aforenamed Prince Belcar did but he wants strength as sundry other have done yet will he make the accesse to the Fortresse more difficult untill he for whom the Princesse is destinied arrive there with such puissance and magnanimity as shall enforce him to forsake the place Many other things as concerning the history of Francelina already set down in the Book of Palmerin●d Oliva did the old Knight recount to the Prince Palmendos who having with great attention noted all was strucken mute and much amazed for so was his spirit carried away with new and divers thoughts that he could not tel what to do or say Now he remembers the old Womans words and saw there was some likelihood of truth in them thinking because she had spoken so much of Francelina that she was one of the Fairies which framed this inchantment the end and abolishing whereof he thought was reserved for him onely comparing all passed conjectures together which made his heart conceive incredible joy and thus often to parley with himself Alas Palmendos well mightest thou account thy self favoured of the stars and Fortune if thou couldest conquer a Lady of so rare and perfect beauty and thereby attain the Kingdome of Thessaly adjoyning to the confines of thy Lord and Fathers Empire Such was his inward joy conceived by these news in hearing her spoken of whom his heart most of all honoured as he said to the old Knight When you understand gentle Sir that Palmendos is come to the Emperours Court let me intreat you to travell thither and there shall I cause him to requite the courtesie which we being strangers have h●●e received Then commanded he one of his Squires to bring a great bag of Gold and Iewels which he powred forth upon the Table giving the old Knight and his Daughter the most part thereof to the end he should see her honourably married and furnish her with all things beséeming such a beautifull Bride The Knight and his daughter séeing so much treasure fell down on their knées and would have kissed his hand but he very kindly took them up in his arms saying this was nothing in respect of that he would do for them hereafter For his mind being ever given to liberallity received such contentment by the spéeches of his Host as rare and precious things séemed of no account for her sweet sake who was the Goddeste and Mistresse of his heart All this night he passed in premeditating what he ought to do in the present occasions at length he resolved to go see the Tourney without making himself known to any one because soon after he would journey to the Isle of Carderia hereupon he sent a Squire in the morning to St. Lordin to leave order that the ship should meet him at Macedon Then courteously taking their leave Ozalio and he rode towards Constantinople whither the old Knight would have born them company but Palmendos perswaded him to the contrary and so set away in great hast arriving in the evening within two miles of Constantinople from whence he sent a Squire to the City to understand what was done at the Court and when the chiefest day of the Tourney should be The Squire well discharged his Masters command and returned with full satisfying him in every point wherefore Palmendos and Ozalio determined between themselves not to ride together in company but each one alone with his Squire and to return thence very secretly again nor would they stay there but the two chiefest days lest happily they might be discovered and so s●ack their journey to the Isle of Carderia CHAP. XV. How Palmendos came to Constantinople where he won the honour and prize of the first Tourney and how he intended to depart thence on the morrow lest he should be sought for on that occasion and what else happened WHen the long expected day of marriage was come the Emperour with all his knights were very richly clothed but especially Arnedes son to the King of France he was exceeding brave both in attire and countenance for the hope he had to see fair Philocrista to whom he had religiously dedicated his heart Now set they

them and coming down from the window where he st●od into the field he desired them at his request to give over the fight My gracious Lord answered Recinde that may we not consent unto unless the Damosel that complained of Belcar will first remit the injury he hath done her My self will thereto perswade her said the King in mean while do you travel no further in this controversie seeing you have both shewed sufficient and haughty chivalry So went the King to the Damosel who was wonderfull glad to see Belcar in such dangerous estate as no Knight before had brought him in the like Damosel said he séek not the death of two so good Champions as these are but for my sake pardon Belcar if he have in ought offended and I shall cause him to make such amends as your self shall like well thereof beside such courtesie shall you find at my hands as happily shall yéeld occasion of thanks while you live Hereto will I never consent though I die quoth she and more would the present death of Belcar content me then if the whole Monarchy of the world were under my puissance considering the enorm and detestable treason wherewith he villanously wronged my father and brethren which makes me I cannot discharge my Knight of his promise The King with great instance intreated her again and so did all the Lords attending on him but all was in vain she was so resolutely grounded in her wickedness as she accounted it pleasure to be self-willed therein Whereupon the Queen heartily sorry to see Belcar so sore wounded understanding the obstinate refusal of the Damosel she accompanied with the Dutchess of Pontus and the Princess Alderina her daughter came altogether and desired her to discharge her Knight of his promise and the Queen would entertain her amongst the Ladies of Honour in her Court All these prayers and requests nothing availed to move any pity in this inexorable Damosel which the Queen perceiving and that she continued so obstinate in cruelty she made a solemn oath that if she did not presently pardon the two Knights hearing a murmuring among the the people how her accusations against Belcar were false and slanderous that her self should die a most shameful death The Damosel seeing the Queen so displeased was affraid of her cause and beside she grieved to behold the tears of fair Alderina wherefore she alighted from her palfray and falling at the Queens feet desired her not to regard her great errour of ingratitude which she had shewed to the King her husband in denying a matter consisting in her power but for her Majesties sake she was content to pardon both the Knights The Queen embraced her in sign of thanks sending word to Recinde that he should proceed no further in battel So the Damosel went with the Queen and her Ladies to the Pallace and both the champions accompanied the King who bringing them to their chambers commanded that his chief Physitians and Chirurgians should give very diligent attendance to see their wounds healed Daily would the Queen accompanied with the Dutchess of Pontus and the fair Princess Alderina her daughter come to visit them so that at length they reconciled the two Princes to amity and shortly after the Queen in regard of her promise caused the damosel to be very honourably married when Belcar made her openly confess that her accusations were most false and untrue in respect that he never saw any of her brethren before that night wherein he was intreated by her father to lodge at his Castle But leave we these and let us now return again to our noble Knight Palmendos whom we left preparing his voyage towards Turkie CHAP. XXVI How after Palmendos and Ozalio embarqued for Turky they landed at a Po●t near the Castle of Albaizo where the King of Thessaly was kept prisoner and how Palmendos intended to be at the Tourney which was prepared for the marriage of the Captains son and what was his success AFter that Palmendos and Ozalio had left the Queen of Thessaly and her daughter Francelina they posted with all speed to their ship the Mariners having in the time of their abode there happened on a Turk left there in the Haven by reason of extream sicknesse wherefore they of Tharsus knowing him to be a Moor took him into their ship and by the time of the Princes arrival he had very well recovered his health He understanding that Palmendos would sail into Turky desired to grant him passage thither and in recompence of that gentlenesse he would direct him whither he pleased because he knew all the Ports and créeks of the country and most of the Cities and Towns on the land Palmendos joyfull of this good hap accepted him for his patron and without concluding to what place they would first sail he willed them to make toward the nearest port to the City of Tubant demanding of the Turk if he knew any harbour of surety near that place My Lord quoth the Turk I will conduct you if you please into a streight of the sea which is very secret where oftentimes ride divers great vessels and no other place of lodging is near at hand but my fathers house onely which standeth a days journey from Tubant and the like from the Castle of Albayzo where the great Turk at this present kéeps the King of Thessaly and all his treasure under the charge of a good Knight who is the Captain of the Castel and this place he reputeth as the strongest hold in all the country Moreover this dare I avouch Sir that there is no part so little in all that country but I know it as well by night as by day even as perfectly as the port whereof I tell you there may you abide in assurance and do what best your self shal please uncontroled by any this will I make good for the great courtesie I have found Palmendos séeing how fortune favoured him committed his conducting to the Turk who was named Oricano when at length they came to the port near Tubant then Oricano went on shore with the Knights to take some order for their good entertainment but finding not his father at home intreated his mother and two brethren who were not a little glad of his safe return to use those Gentlemen so courteously as might be expressing what kindnesse he had found at their hands Palmendos rejoiced that they were in a place so sure and secret and near Albayzo Castle where the King of Thessaly was detained in captivity yet kept he on his rich black armour which the Fairies left for him at the Castle of Carderia his good sword likewise he had by his side wherewith he could inchant and bring asléep any one by drawing it forth It was large and short as a woodknife or fauchion most artificially damasked and garnished with three sorts of Diamonds the whole sheath being composed of one the mosse-bar and pummel of an other and the handle of
