When the soldiery heard that the king was about to raise the siege in mere consideration of their sufferings, they were filled with generous enthusiasm, and entreated as with one voice that the siege might never be abandoned until the city surrendered. Perplexed by conflicting counsels, the king despatched messengers to the queen at Jaen, requesting her advice.
