One of them was from his partner Bernaldez in Seville; not in answer to that which he had written on the night of the opening of this history for this there had been no time yet dealing with matters whereof it treated.
He died at his palace in the city of Seville on the 27th day of August, 1492, but a few months after the surrender of Granada, and of an illness caused by exposures and fatigues undergone in this memorable war. That honest chronicler, Andres Bernaldez, the curate of Los Palacios, who was a contemporary of the marques, draws his portrait from actual knowledge and observation.
"Thus," in the words of that excellent and contemporary historian Andres Bernaldez, commonly called the curate of Los Palacios, "thus did the king deliver Guadix from the hands of the enemies of our holy faith after seven hundred and seventy years that it had been in their possession, ever since the time of Roderick the Goth; and this was one of the mysteries of our Lord, who would not consent that the city should remain longer in the power of the Moors" a pious and sage remark which is quoted with peculiar approbation by the worthy Agapida.
And I found him in Barcelona, two days afterwards, living at the Hotel of the Four Nations, like one in his sleep. 'If Bernaldez wants me, he said, 'he knows where to find me. And the next day Bernaldez came to us, where we sat in front of the Cafe of the Liceo on the Rambla. 'Mateo, he said, 'you will have to fight me. And Mateo nodded his head.
Having written this letter, the Admiral saw the little fleet sail away on June 17th, and himself prepared with mingled feelings to present himself before his Sovereigns. While he was waiting for their summons at Los Palacios, a small town near Seville, he was the guest of the curate of that place, Andrez Bernaldez, who had been chaplain to Christopher's old friend DEA, the Archbishop of Seville.
Also this officer said that he would communicate with his superiors, and, if no objection were made, send a messenger to ask the Senor Bernaldez to attend at the prison on the following day.
The "Letters and the Decades of Peter Martyr," written in part contemporaneously with the discovery of America, and printed in Latin in 1530, and in English in 1555. The "Historia de las Reyes Catolicos," of Andres Bernaldez. The "Life of the Discoverer," by Ferdinand Columbus, first published in 1571 at Venice, in Italian.
'Ah, he said, 'you think that you are sure to kill me but I shall, at all events, have a shot for my money. Who knows? I may kill you. 'That is quite possible, answered Mateo. Bernaldez threw back his cloak. He carried the little travelling clock in one hand- -a gilt thing made in Paris.
"Dead, I think," broke in Bernaldez, who knew his danger as the partner and relative of Castell, and the nominal owner of the ship Margaret in which it was purposed that he should escape. "We know all that he can tell, and if we let him go he will betray us soon or late. Kill him out of the way, I say, and burn his body in the oven."
* Pulgar, in his Chronicle, reverses the case, and makes the marques of Cadiz recommend the expedition to the Axarquia; but Fray Antonio Agapida is supported in his statement by that most veracious and contemporary chronicler, Andres Bernaldez, curate of Los Palacios. The sober counsel of the marques, however, was overruled.
