Who for that he saw the Romane Empire to be deuided intofactions because Constantine Copronymus the Son of Leo contended with Artabasdus for the Garland addicted and bent his whole mind to dispose and set order in the Saracenicall Empire And because the I le of Ciprus beyng then well peopled brued seditious motions and ruflynge disturbaunces he sent the whole people thereof into Syria and left the

Pipine the second bearing all thesway and rulynge all the rost in the Realme of Fraunce the Saracenes eftsoones passinge the Pyrenees were by him surprysed and taken tardy and payde so dearely for

bene already very Kinge and in reall possession of the Regall Diademe King Pipine his Father exiled out of his sight and commaunded to departe out of all the limytes and boundes of his Domynion and

borne Whiche Galasie vsed his helpe aduise and ayde in the warre whiche then he had against Marsilius Kinge of Saragoza a Saracene also as well as he In which warres Charles being Chieuetayne of all the King of Toledo his armye behaued hym selfe like a worthy Knight and many waies endamaged King Marsilius Afterwarde fallynge in loue with Galiana Daughter to the king his Master aduentured and atchieued many worthy enterprises notorious Actes for her sake namely against Bramantes an other Saracen king Who because he would haue had Galiana to his wife maugre her Parentes good wyl besieged Toledo and discomfited the Souldiours both French Saracene which serued vnder the king of Toledo tyll Charles yssuing out to recharge vpon hym coaped with him and slew him with hys own handes This hoat loue continewinge for a time at length brake out so far that vpon a certen time as that damsel for her disport and solace was walkyng in the gardens or baynes by the bankside of the riuer Tagus without the walles of the citie Toledo whiche are at this day called the Palaces of Galiana Charles no longer hable to qualefye his amorous passion stole her away and fled with her to Burdeaux wher he buylded for her a sumpteus palace as lyke in all poyntes to the paterne and situation of the princely Court of Toledo as he could gesse which palace is yet extant and called also by the name of Galiana her Palace Maruane ruling in Syria many sedicious mutines and factious partakings chaunced among the Saracenes many Tyraunts rebelliously reuoulted pretendynge title to the pontificate Whose names were Tebid Dadack and Zulciminie Whom Maruane as traytours to him pursued toke Tebid and put hym to death Zulciminie hauing an ouerthrow fled into Persia But fortune smiled fauored Dadack better then ether of the other twaine for he ioyning battayle with the Sonne of Maruane vanquished hym and discomfited his whole Hoast Albeit he could not long enioy the fruicts of this victory for within awhile after encountring with Maruane himselfe in a cruell battell was ouercome and slaine Constantine Copronymus taking occasion and conceyuing hope of future good lucke by meanes of the Saracens domestical sedition inferred warre vpon Syria wanne a great part of that Prouince Wherfore Maruane hauinge now already gotten the vpperhand of Dadack with al his Adherentes tourned his conquerous Armes to regayne Syria and it recouered to the great slaughter smart of the Christians The same yéere a litle before the Christians receiued this great ouerthrow and discomfiture at the hands of Maruane the Countrey Syria Palestina almost al Asia Thracia Grecia and Italie with many other Regions were terriblye shaken with a dreadfull Earthquake After this more ruffling and commotion kindled in Persia For Asmuline Prince and kingleader of that Sect first reised and excited by Mutar of whom we haue before made mention who affirmed Ali to be greater then Mahomet dwelling and liuing among the Corasenes a people of Persia through the counsaile instinct of one Cataban incensed and mooued all the Slaues and Peyzants of the Countrey either priuely or apertly by secrete conspiracie or by open force to quell and murther their Maisters With whose wealth the Slaues being enriched and made of great power were diuided into two factions whereof th' one were called the Caismores and th' other the Lamonites Now Asmuline being Captaine of the Lamonites subdued and cleane dispercled the Caismores Then beyng accompanyed with his Lamonites and hys Counsellour Cataban marched forth into Persia ouer which Prouince was Lieutenaunt for Maruane one Ibline who with an hoast of one C. thousand good fighting men and well appointed resisted and gaue to Asmuline battayle In which conflict the Lamonites although they were a great deale fewer in number yet hauing an indubitate confidence in the promises of Asmuline and in Cataban whom they estéemed as men holy and replenished with Propheticall inspiration fought most valiantly in so much that they discomfited Ibline and put hym to flight Beyng then

animated with so many victories gloriously and happely atchieued they were not afrayde to offer battayle vnto Maruane who had in his army iij. hundreth thousand fighting Souldiours ready appointed in the fielde néere to the Ryuer Zaban whom also with all his army they discomfited Maruane with foure thousand only of his company fled into Aegypt cutting downe the bridge where he passed ouer that his enemies should not pursue and chase after him But Saline the Sonne of Asmuline persecuted and folowed after him at his héeles and in Aegypt in a blouddy battaile ouercame him and thus was all the Maraunian Lynage and Pedagrew expulsed The remnauntes of whose lyne and Progenie which had flourished and reigned so many yéeres were dispersed and scattered abroade some fledde into Mauritania where being wearied they planted themselues and some went into Spaine From this Asmuline afterward that house and family which now at this day raigneth in Persia called Sophi is lineally descended After the death of Asmuline and Cataban one Abubalan surnamed Muamat was Prince of Syria and Persia and Saline of Aegypt and héere began the first Empyre of the Sultanes or Souldanes of Aegypt which haue their imperiall Seate at Cayre For by that name the Aegiptian Caliphes would be called which name Sultan by interpretatiō signifieth the highest Soueraigne Prince and King of Kings About the same time dyed Pipine King of Fraunce and Charles his sonne beganne his raigne in his fathers steede And among the Asturians Alphonsus the sonne in Law of Pelagius and surnamed Catholicus succéeded Fafila This King recouered from the Saracenes in Gallicia Lucus Tui and Asturica in the Countrey called Campi all that lyeth within the Ryuers Stola Carrion Pisquerra and Duerro in Castulonia Simancas Duengas Amaia Caniciares Alesanium Transinera Supuerta and Carracia in Lusitanie Bracha Viseum and Portum of whom Gallicians compounded together whiche are a people of the same Prouince all Lusitanie is at this day called Portugall Hée fortefied many places as Alaba Ordugina in Cantabria whych Countrey is nowe called Biskaie in Nauarra Rueonia Sarracecasium and diuerse other places as farre as the Pyrence Mountaines And when he had raigned eyghtéene ●eeres he dyed after whom his Sonne Froila was saluted and crowned king This man gaue an ouerthrow to the Saracens which had inuaded Gallicia wherein he slew their Captaine Omar with fiftie thousand others of his company and compelled Ioseph king of Corduba to flée and brought al the region of Gallicia into his owne rule and iurisdiction He beyng afterward by his owne Subiectes murthered Aurelius his brothers sonne obtained the kingdome of whom we reade no notable exploite done against the Saracens and he also dying within short space after his Coronation his brother Silo was made king Against him the Gallicians rebelled wherfore because he might the better subdue and bring thē to reasonable conformitie he concluded a peace with the Saracens He raigned eight yéeres and thē dyed After whō succéeded Alphonsus the second sonne of Froila surnamed Castus which was in the yéere of our Lord God .780 Against him by the counsaile and persuasiō of his vncle Mauregate the Saracens made warre Thys Mauregate had promised vnto them that if he myght by their meanes and helpe obtayne the Kingdome of Lyon which hys Predecessours and Auncestours before hym had enioyed he would paye vnto them yeerely in the name of a tribute fyftie persons of noble race and as many Virgins of baser birthe with many other execrable and impious things Wherevpon by the ayde of the Saracenes whiche furthered his pretence and quarell with all their myght and power he forciblie got Lyon with the whole Kingdome thereof and it intrusiuely vsurped by the space of fyue yéeres After whose deathe Vermudeces Sonne to hys brother Vimaran succéeded who after two yéeres voluntarily and of his owne fréewyll restored the Kingdome to Alphonsus Whych when the Saracenes vnderstoode they sent a great armye agaynst hym vnder the leadyng of Mucas betwéene whom néere to a Towne named Lutum or Ledum was fought a terrible and sharpe battayle but in the ende the Saracenes were ouercome and of them were slaine .lxx. thousande beside a great number which were taken Prisoners While these garboyles were in doyng in Spaine the Saracenes in the Orient were deuided among themselues by intestine sedicion and ciuill tumulte For Abubalan ruling in Syria many commotions and vprores were reysed against hym in Arabia by the faction of deade Maruane affirmyng and proclayming abroade that Maruane was not yet deade and that therefore they put on Armour to restore him againe into hys rightfull estate and regall dignitie By reason of which rebellious stirre many were slayne on both sydes and great depopulation committed After the deathe of Abubalan his brother Abedela succéeded who was traiterously and insidiouslye murthered by an other Abedela which aspyred to the Byshopprike hopyng to enioye it after hys decease as hee dyd in déede During whose Raigne and Empyre the Turkishe broode and Nation breaking cat of the Streictes of Caucasus about the yéere of oure Lorde .800 made roades and incursions into Armenia and when they had piteously spoyled and sacked it they retourned into their owne Countrey And the yeere folowing they yssued oute in great Plumpes and fought with the Saracenes so long till manie béeing slaine on bothe parties the nyght made them to surceasse and make an ende of their battaile Abedela the seconde of that name in the eightenth yéere of his raygne dyed in whose place succéeded hys Sonne Madi Who without any notable thing in al his tyme atchiued dyed when he had raigned ix yéeres leauyng behind him for his Heyre and successour his sonne Moyses Who in the second yéere of his raigne dyed and in his roome was created Caliph one Aaron But now to retourne to the affaires of the Occident Ibnabala King of Saragoza being expulsed and dryuen out of his Countrey by the other Princes of the Saracenes in Spayne came into Fraunce to King Charles to implore and desire ayd of hym to reuenge the iniurie vnto hym done and at the same time also Ambassadors came to the same Charles from Alphonsus surnamed Castus King of Asturians to incense and mooue hym to warre vpon the Saracenes in Spaine and to set the Country in good order and by his prowesse to deliuer it out of the clutches of Tyrannicall vsurpers Charles therefore gathering together not only the power of his owne kingdome but also hauinge a supplye of forraine aide among whome were certaine younge Gentlemen of the Danes which profered their seruice to accompaignie him partlie for a desire that they had to bellicall affaires and partlie to shewe
