discourse news came by a Scout that without doubt the Pagans were already assembled in great Companies in the Isle of Tenedos and purposed to dislodge about the end of the ensuing month for which cause the Emperor called his Councell where it was concluded that Messengers should be dispatched some to Sardinia and Scicilia and in their passage they should informe the King of Naples Adarials father the good fortune of his son and others towards the Emperor of Rome the Kings of Spaine of Gaule and of great Britaine Then from thence to Quedragant and to the Kings Cildadan and of Bohemia to advertise them of the great enterprize of the King Armato and to intreat them for Gods sake to send them the greatest Companie of great Vessels that they can possible to succour Thrace which otherwise would be ruined And by reason that this voyage would be long it was thought fit that in the meane time that Frandalo should retire to the Port of the defended Mountaine and with the King Norandell who ordinarily staid there they should stop if they could possible all Merchants ships or others to the end that they might hinder their enemies from victuals if they should march forward without forcing the places And that the Emperor should remaine in the City attending the news of the other Christian Princes to whom Messengers were sent who were embarqued that very day and with pitifull Letters aswell of the Emperor as of the Knight of the Sphere Languinea Abies of Ireland and others they made such diligence that their legation had the fruit as you shall heare hereafter But first I will tell you of some and ventures that happened to Garinter and Perion sons of Galaor of whom we have not as yet spoken since they departed from Constantinople CHAP. XIII How Garinter and Perion combated against the King of Sibernea and his Nephews whom they vanquished in open field YOu have heard in the fifth booke of this present History how Garinter and Porion sons of Galaor received the order of Knighthood by the hands of Esplandian who soone after embarqued themselves and passed into the Isle of Californus where they had war a long time against some who inhabited the borders of their Country especially with the King of Sibernea whom they chased unto the principall towne of his Kingdome where they held him besieged at that time that Talanque Manely and the Queen Calafia arived at Californus returning from their voyage where they had found Perion de Gaule as you have heard So the Queen would goe no further nor goe to the Seige But Talanque and Manely without sojourning came to finde them using their utmost endeavor to goe thorough with their enterprize The pleasure which these four Knights had in meeting together was great Talanque and Manely being arived in so good time to see the Combate that was agreed of between Perion Garinter and two of their men against the King of Sib●rnea and three of his nephews under this condition said Garinter if the victory remaine on his part that his Country shall remaine as free unto him as it was before the war and if we are vanquishers he must leave it unto us peaceably without quarrelling at any time Now we know for certaine that he is a good Knight and his three Nephews are accounted the best of this Countrie but if you please to be on our side I hope with Gods help that our fortune will be wholly prosperous In good faith answered the others we will doe it truly and we will stay untill the day be come That will be to morrow said Talanque therefore rest your selfe for to day that you may be the fresher about your business And so at that time they would enterprize nothing but attending for the time to fight they spent the time in discoursing of the skirmishes and assaults which they had given the Town during the Seige until the next morning when a Trumpetter brought the Hostages from the King of Sibernea For which cause after the oathes and Ceremonies in such cases observed on both sides those who were appointed to fight entred into the field and the King addressed himself to Perion whom he met in such manner that without the helpe of his horse neck he had been on the ground But it happened worse to the King for Pe●ion disarmed him and threw him down to measure his length on the grasse Garinter did as much to one of the Kings nephews and Talanque to him that he charged although that himselfe was forced to a light for his horse was so shaken at the Shocke that he stayed in halfe the way and as for Manely he leaped from the saddle and likewise he against whom he ran Nevertheless less none of them shewed themselves dismayed but aro●e with great celerity and laying hands on their swords there began between them a hard and cruel battel It is very true that the King of Sibernea and one of his Nephews forced Perion and Garinter otherwise they would have cut their horses bridles and their skirmish endured so long that by the space of foure houres it could not be discerned who would have the better or the worse For the King of Sibernea had given such blowes to Perion that making fire come from his eyes he was forced to set his knee twice to the ground at which he was so animated that taking his sword in both his hands he hit the King between the neck and the shoulders where he wounded him so soarely that he never after stirred but died Talanque on the other side did not sleep but fought couragiously with his enemy and he was so much favored of fortune that finding the joint of the Gantled he gave such a blow that he separated his hand from his Arme. Then through paine he gave a great crie and thinking to have recourse to a swift slight to save his life he turned his back which gained him but little for he was thrown down by his enemy and shamefully put to death Which Garinter seeing he received so much vertue that with one blow he cut the naile and armor of him who had so long resisted him and the sword entring three foot into his body he gave up the ghost And the like happened to the fourth against whom Manely had much to doe for he cut off his head most bravely Behold how it happened to the King of Sibernea and his Nephews who lying dead on the field Garinter and his Companions retired into their Tents leaving the cries and complaints to those who were thereby endamaged as well for the losse of their friends as of their towne which was rendred and put into the power of Perion according to the sworne agreements And the day after by the advice of all Garinter remained crowned King to which charge nevertheless he left Polinas for Governor that he might follow strange adventures when he pleased Wherefore so soone as he had received the homages and oathes of fidelity

had any thing now to say to which he answered no but onely he desired to have safety for his Masters if the Combate were accepted of that they might come to the place appointed Lisvart being present desired the King to let him be one of the three and to suffer him to choose the other two which the King granted Lisvart chosing his Unckle Porion and Olorius of Spaine and the place of the Combate was appointed to be at Trebisond six moneths after that day These things being agreed upon the Messenger departed and the sixth day following Lisvart Perion and Olorius departed accompanied with Alquefa Adariel and Elinie these Knights had Vermillion Armes they being on the Sea soon lost sight of Brittaine and the other strange Princes who had been at the Court of King Amadis likewise departed amongst whom there were the Queens Pintiquinestra and Calafea who being arived with their husbands in the Isle of Californus found Ialanque and King Garinter who were come thither to see them where after some small stay Garinter made a present of the kingdome of Jugurte to Mancly but Quedragant who was passionately in love with Elisenna remained in great Brittaine where he soon after married her And as for the Empresse of Rome she returned into Italie where being arived the Emperour dispatched Ambassadors towards Amadis with express charge to demand the Infanta Brisenna for Pinerpie which the King and Oriana willingly agreed to in such sort that she being arived at Viterbe the Marriage was solemnized Thus Amadis remained with very little Companie so that being one day at the chase he heard a voice which called Knight of the Green Sword when he looked about he saw nothing but soon after he heard himselfe called Gentleman of the Sea and faire forlorne and not knowing from whence this voice should come he heard himselfe called Grecian Knight By God said he to himselfe I am much called upon wherefore he rod on further thinking of the strange mobilities of fortune that had happened to him and riding on his horse slipt down and in rising againe he saw a young childe which seemed to be about three years old who said to him Amadis what doe you think on so much I tell you that one shall come very suddenly who shall rob thee of what thou hast and thou and all thy lineage shall die by his hands he had no sooner said thus but he vanished and Amadis resolved to reveale this to none and presently after lighting on his huntsmen which he had left he returned to the Town of Fenuse CHAP. LII How Lisvart and his Companions were cast by Tempest in to Spaine and of the Succour which they gave to King Don Brian of Moniaste against King Miramamolin LIsvart and his Company being departed from Fenuse the tempest was so great that they all thought they should perish And after they had floated on the waves for the space of one moneth and a halfe their Vessell was cast on the Port of Carthage which being known by the Mariners they were very joyfull and thereupon they purposed to stay there untill it should be more ca●me wherefore they sent their servants unto the Town to seek Victualls who being returned reported to the Knights that they had heard it published from the King of Spaine that all those that could bear armes should within fifteen dayes repaire to the Citie of Tolette And said they had enquired whither they were to goe and we were told that Miramamolin King of Marveces accompanied with ten other Kings as well Africans as Arabians were ●entred Spaine and have already forced many Cities in revenge of the death of King Armato and they doe now besiege Cordove with very great force This news being heard by these Knights they all purposed to aid King Brian in the battell unknown and so if the King had the better to depart unknown and therefore they left Alquefa in the ship with the Mariners and went into the Town And then taking their armes they went towards Cordove and they made so much expedition that within eight dayes they arived at the Spanish Camp where they carried themselves as closely as they could and the Army being come neer to their enemies the King Brian set his Army in readiness to assaile his enemies and so did the King Miramamolin when after they had encouraged their souldiers to fight and were readie to joyne battell there arived a Herald from King Brian to Miramamolin who said to him Sir the most mighty and redoubted Prince Don Brian of Moniaste my Sovereigne King and Lord sends me to you to command you to depart his Country otherwise he is resolved to give you battell without taking any of you to mercy Miramamolin being somewhat stirred up with this Message answered without delay Herald returne to thy Master and tell him that I am not come hither for that purpose to returne without fighting and that I fear not the threats of those whom I make account to vanquish and that I will have him at my mercy before it be night yet But it happened otherwise for the Herald had no sooner taken leave of him but they began to skirmish on both parts and so they continued untill night when they were forced to leave hoping to begin the next morning CHAP. LIII How the two Hosts met and of the aid which Lisvart and his Companions gave to the King of Spaine ALl that night the two Camps watched diligently and about the break of day they dislodged marching against one another with great fury Lisvart and his Companions had hid themselves untill they came to break Lances and then these five unknown Knights entred into the battalion of the Africans which was under the command of the King Fez and at their arivall they dismounted five of the bravest that they met which the Earl Medine seeing was very joyfull and crying Spaine Spaine entred with his Trooppell-mell where they were so well received that on both sides there was thrown down more then a thousand who never stirred any more There Lisvart Perion Olorius Elinie and Adariell performed marvells leaving in all places where they came great testimonie of their great Prowesse and Chivalry King Brian himselfe acted wonders for the renown of his name and freedome and good of his Country so that after a long and terrible fight the Pagans were forced to retreat their King Miramamolin being slaine by the hands of Brian and Adariell and most of the Giants and Kings of the Pagans being vanquished and killed the Pagans being put to flight could not run so well but six thousand of them remained Prisoners and the rest passed under the edge of the Sword the night gave an end to the pursuit and by the darkness thereof the five Knights had good opportunity and meanes to retire unto an adjoyning Castle where the Lord thereof honored them and kindely welcomed them There they abode untill their wounds were healed and then they departed to
