head."
When Tirant heard what the reply was, he sat down to dine with
the dukes, counts and marquis who were already there.
The morning of the following day the captain had a large and
beautiful tent raised, with a bell on top. That tent was only
for mass and council meetings, and he had it set up in a meadow
between the duke's camp and his own. When the time came to say

like to come to mass. The duke haughtily answered no, but the
other grandees came very happily. After mass they held council,
and it was decided that the Marquis of Saint George, the Count of
Acquaviva, and two barons should go to the Duke of Macedonia as
ambassadors. When they were with him the Marquis of Saint George
said:
"Duke, you should not be surprised to see us: our captain and the
illustrious dukes, counts and marquis have sent us here.
