Alcaniz

King Yucef, after the pursuit was given over, and he saw that he might come forth from the Castle, fled to Denia, and embarked in his ships, and returned to Morocco.

And thinking every day how badly he had sped, and how he had been conquered by so few, and how many of his people he had lost, he fell sick and died.

But before he died he besought his brother, who was called Bucar, that for the tie there was between them, he would take vengeance for the dishonour which he had received from the Cid Campeador before Valencia; and Bucar promised to do this, and swore also upon the Koran, which is the book of their law.

And accordingly he came afterwards across the sea, with nine and twenty Kings, as shall be related when the time comes.
