stood who having brought word back That the Contagion was there more rife than ever and that an infinite number of Persons dy'd of it it was judg'd requisite to leave it still alone and that it would be sufficiently destroy'd by this Scourge of Heaven without there being any need to infect it likewise with that of War One thing on which they found themselves oblig'd to think preferable to all others was to recompence Count Julian for the great Services he had done to Valid They had promis'd him to cause his Castle of Algesirees to be Rebuilt and to Repair and Re-establish his other Lands and Lordships that had been ruin'd by the passage he had given through them to all the Forces that came out of Africa into Spain Insomuch that they caus'd great summs of Money to be given him and granted great Franchizes and Priviledges to all his Relations and Followers Whereupon he took his leave of them to repair home to set all things again to Rights and injoy if he could the Sweets of the Revenge he had taken of D. Rodrigo After this they fell in good earnest to consider of regulating and policying their new Kingdom and of re-populating that great Country that was become a Desert by the flight of all the Inhabitants Wherefore seeing that the Moors they had left in Garrison in the Cities and Burroughs where they had pass'd had no Wives tho they were all very Young and that it was impossible to furnish them with enough from Africa whence their Fathers and Mothers would never consent to suffer them to depart they caus'd Proclamation to be made by sound of Trumpet throughout all Spain That all the Christian Women and Maidens as well of the ancient Inhabitants as of whatever Nation they were that were willing to be Converted and Marry themselves to the Conquerours should enjoy the same Priviledges and Prerogatives which they enjoy'd before They caus'd at the same time another Declaration to be Published in favour of the Gentlemen to whom they offer'd the Dividend of the Conquer'd Lands This Publication in a short time either out of fear or interest caus'd an infinite number of Christians to change their Religion and the Women and Maidens to resolve upon matching themselves with the Moors At that time was it that the Arch-bishop of Oppas who had been General of Rodrigo's Army that Tariff had beaten and taken Prisoner in the second Battel that had been fought near the River Guadalete as I have said and the Arch-bishop Toriso a very near Relation of that Unhappy King abjur'd their Faith to comply with Tariff and Muca These two new Moors to manifest their Zeal and acquire still more credit than they had with the Generals represented to them that to hinder the Christians from revolting for the future or retrieving Courage with time it was expedient throughly to clear all the Mountains on the Left Hand of Arragon in Spanish call'd Biscaye and the Asturies where they gave them notice that several Persons of great Quality had made their Retreat with a great number of Souldiers nay and that there was at the head of them such Persons as were Princes of the Blood of Spain and D. Rodrigo's near Relations without which their Conquest would never be secure This advice jump'd wholly with Tariff's sence who gave immediate order to a Tartar a very good Officer Abraham le Sujari by name to take six thousand men of the Forces he had by him and likewise to draw as many as he should need out of the Garrisons of Castile and to march with the two Renegado-Arch-bishops into the afore-mention'd Mountains At that time a Young Prince a Kinsman of the K. D. Rodrigo call'd Pelage was retir'd thither with a good number of resolute men that were willing to follow his Fortune and as he was brave and pretended to the Crown all the Christians that had taking refuge in the Mountains had elected him King and certainly he made himself appear to be very worthy of that Supream Dignity General Abraham being come near the Austuries and encamp'd in a place call'd Cangas by the Christians and which the Moors since nam'd the Term of War thought convenient to send the two Arch-bishops to him having brought them along with him that so being his Relations and Friends they might the more easily perswade him to desist from the Temerity of his Enterprize with orders to offer him such Presents and propose such advantages to him as they should judge convenient as well as to all the Christians that should be with him Whereupon these Arch-bishops being come into the Country and offering to make this Proposal to Pelage he was so provok'd at them that he had them seiz'd on and both thrown from off the top of a Rock into a River that was at the bottom And as he had first been inform'd by them of the Scituation of Abraham's Camp and the number of his Forces he assembled what men he had and went to attack them that very same Night And after having defeated the greatest part of the Moors he return'd into the heart of the Mountains without any loss Abraham not expecting this at all and not seeing the return of the two Renegadoes he had brought along with him fancy'd they had betray'd him and with the few men he had left without making any longer stay he return'd with all expedition to Toledo where he dy'd of Grief Tariff was very much troubled at this bad event but having not then Troops sufficient in one Body to go force the Asturies he contented himself with leading upon the frontier the most men he could that so he might hinder the Christians of the Mountains from coming to make Inroads upon the Moors Then he resolv'd upon sending to Almanzor his Master a very exact Relation of all he had thitherto done with the state of all things in Spain and to ask what was his Pleasure to have further done for his Service As he was finishing his Dispatches he had a Letter brought him from Pelage which Translated out of Spanish into Arabick is as follows A LETTER King Pelage to General Tariff Abenziet THE King D. Pelage Lawful Heir Successour in a Right Line of the Kingdom of Spain by the death of the King D. Rodrigo whose sins may God pardon they being doubtless the cause of his ruine and my misfortune to the Valiant and Renowned Captain Tariff Abenziet Cherish'd and Esteem'd by the Caliph Almanzor his Master Greeting Tho I am as great a sinner as any other and that I have nothing good but the confidence I put in the mercy of God I am willing to make known to thee that in thy name came two Envoys who being my Relations ought not to have come to me since they were Traytors to their Country I thought my self oblig'd to punish them as I have done and was content to signifie to thee at the same time that tho thou hast very
