Also Xuquer. River in Valencia province, emptying into the Mediterranean at Cullera, 38 km south of the city.
Then Abenalfange gathered together all his host and his cavalry, and brought with him Giralte the Roman, with a company of French knights, and came towards Xativa, as a hungry lion goes against a sheep, or like the coming of a flood in its hour; so that Yahia was dismayed at the tidings of his approach, and fled as fast as he could to the Isle of Xucar, and though that Isle was so near, he thought he had done a great thing; and from thence he went to Valencia, holding himself greatly dishonoured.
And at the passage of the Xucar there might you have seen confusion, and there the Moors without liking it drank plenty of water.
