How the reliques of the said holy Martyrs, were afterwardes transla∣ted to Teruel by the king of Arragon.

THE XXXVII. CHAPTER.

AFter this glorious Martyrdome, Dom Iames the first of that na∣me king of Arragon, began by the prouidence of God, to war∣re against and alwayes to putt to the worst, the king of Valen∣cia, subdueing him att each time that they encountred, and taking priso∣ners a great number of the Mores, gaining daily and possessing his lan∣des and dominions; it happened one time that he tooke prisoners cer∣taine noble men of the Mores, whervpon the Christians of Arragon prayed their king to demaund the reliques of the said S. for ransome of the said prisonners, by reason that by their meanes God did ordinarily worckmany miracles, which caused the Christiās to be very importunate to haue them. This request was easy to obtaine; for the king of Arragon did exceedingly reuerence the said reliques, and the king of the Mores was very desirous to retire his principall champions, for a matter which he regarded nothing at all. Thus were these reliques solemnely placed att Teruell in a faire Couent of Frere Minors, there expresly erected in acknowledgement of the fauours and graces which in respect of them the Christians haue receaued of God; and to this day great miracles are wrought there by them.
