(3.) “Windischy land.”—According to Froissart (iv, c. 52), Sigismund embarked at Constantinople on board of a vessel that had just discharged a cargo of provisions. It is stated in the History of Cyprus, that the king arrived in Dalmatia by way of Rhodes. Thwrocz (Schwandtnerus, Script. Rerum Hung., iv, 9) adds, that he afterwards landed in Croatia, the country alluded to by Schiltberger as “Windischy land”. See “Windische Mark”, in Cosmographey.—Bruun.
