Others Sate Behind The Dukes, And Euery Day There Resorted Great Companie
Of Ladies Thither.
The three tents whereof we spake before, were very
large, but the Emperour his wiues had other great and faire tentes made of
white felt.
This was the place where the Emperour parted companie with his
mother: for she went into one part of the land; and the Emperour into
another to execute iustice. For there was taken a certaine Concubine of
this Emperour, which had poysoned his father to death, at the same time
when the Tartars armie was in Hungarie, which, for the same cause returned
home. [Sidenote: The death of Occoday reuenged.] Moreouer, vpon the
foresaide Concubine, and many other of her confederats sentence of
iudgement was pronounced, and they were put to death. At the same time
Ieroslaus the great Duke of Soldal, which is a part of Russia, deceased.
For being (as it were for honours sake) inuited to eate and drinke with the
Emperours mother, and immediately after the banquet, returning vnto his
lodging, he fel sicke, and within seuen dayes, died. And after his death,
his body was of a strange blew colour, and it was commonly reported, that
the said Duke was poisoned, to the ende that the Tartars might free and
totally possess his Dukedome.
Qualiter tandem Fratres ad Imperatorem accedentes, literas dederunt &
acceperunt. Cap. 31.
[Sidenote: Cuyne cum legatis dissimulanter agit.] Denique Tartari nostri
nos ad Imperatorem duxerunt: qui cum audisset per illos, nos ad eum
venisse, iussit nos ad matrem redire.
