His Time Entered Into The Country Of The Kings Of France Saint
Louis, And Fought With Him; And
[The soldan] took him and
imprisoned him; and this [soldan] was slain by his own servants.
And after, they chose
Another to be soldan, that they clept
Tympieman; and he let deliver Saint Louis out of prison for a
certain ransom. And after, one of these Comanians reigned, that
hight Cachas, and slew Tympieman, for to be soldan; and made him be

this soldan empoisoned at Damascus, and his son thought to reign
after him by heritage, and made him to be clept Melechsache; but
