Example text
A fisherman, whose name history does not record, was on the point of selling to a shoemaker of his acquaintance a trout just taken from the Duero when he was put upon by a servant of the regidor who claimed the treat for his master. As is the way on such occasions, voices were raised and, as was to be expected in a Leonese city in which there was not much else going on, a crowd gathered, and sides were taken. One thing led to another. The regidor’s man summoned reinforcements, and took them to the church of Santa María to consider his next move.
To successive popes, reports such as those coming out of Zaragoza were of course incomprehensible. 64 However, the sad truth (sad for the pope, that is) was that to the extent that the Spanish reconquista was part of the crusading movement, it was part of it on terms set by Spain’s kings. And those terms were not negotiable.
