 captaine generall of the army. These three brethren 

 were in this battell, in the which the chiefest and the 

 last were never heard of quicke nor dead. Onely Temi- 

 ragio fled in the battel, having lost one of his eyes : 

 when the newes came to the city of the overthrow in the 

 battell, the wives and children of these three tyrants, 

 with their lawfull king (kept prisoner) fled away, spoiled 

 as they were, & the foure kings of the Moores entred The sacking of 

 the city Bezeneger with great triumph, & there they ^^^ "^■>''

 them any thing for their horses, which when the poore 

 men saw, they were desperate, and as it were mad with 

 sorrow and griefe. 



I rested in Bezeneger seven moneths, although in one
