XVII. George Castriot, or Scanderbeg, Prince of Epirus, was inspired with such a Spirit of valour by God, in de∣fending his Country from the barbarous Turks, that in fighting against them for very eagerness of Spirit, his blood would usually burst out of his lips, and he struck with such violence, that he clave many of them asun∣der from the head to the middle, and usually he cut off an Arm with Armour on, at one blow, and with his own hands he slew above two Thousand of them at several times; he was such a mirrour of Manhood, and so ter∣rible to the Turks, that nine years after his death, as they passed through Lyssa, where his body lay buried, they digged up his bones with great devotion reckoning it some part of their happiness, if they might but see, or touch the same; and such as could get any part thereof, were it never so little, caused the same to be set, some in Silver, some in Gold to hang about their Necks, thinking that it would animate their Spirits with extraordinary vigour and courage.
