Queens of old Spain

Note 46 — Chapter II

Reading edition

The chroniclers of the siege dilate much upon the magnificent appearance of Isabel and her great train of ladies when, on the day of her arrival before Baza, she reviewed her troops in full view of the dumbfoundered Moors on the ramparts of the fortress. Her own Castilian troops, frantic with enthusiasm, no longer cried ‘Long live the Queen,’ but ‘Long live our King Isabel.’—Florez, ‘Reinas Catolicos,’ and Letters of Peter Martyr, who was present.
