To Be Short, All Things
Are So In The Power And Possession Of The Emperour, That No Man Dare Say,
This Is Mine, Or, This Is My Neighbours, But All, Both Goods, Cattell And
Men Are His Owne.
Concerning this matter also he published a statute of
late.
The very same authority and iurisdiction doe the dukes in like sorte
exercise vpon their subiects.
De electione Imperatoris Occoday, et legatione Ducis Bathy. Cap. 15.
[Sidenote: Occoday surrogatur patri. Bathy eiusque expeditio.] Mortuo, vt
supra dictum est, Cyngischam conuenerunt Duces, et elegerunt Occoday,
filium eius Imperatorem. Qui habito consilio Principum, diuisit exercitus.
Misitque Bathy, qui in secundo gradu attingebat eum, contra terram
Altissodan et contra terram Bisminorum, qui Sarraceni erant, sed
loquebantur Comanicum. Qui terram illorum ingressus, cum eis pugnauit,
eosque sibi bello subiecit. [Sidenote: Barchin ciuitas.] Quadam autem
ciuitas, nomine Barchin, diu restitit eis. Ciues enim in circuitu ciuitatis
foueas multas fecerant, propter quas non poterant a Tartaris capi, donec
illas repleuissent. [Sidenote: Sarguit ciuitas.] Ciues autem vrbis Sarguit
hoc audientes, exierunt obuiam eis, sponte in manus eoram se tradentes.
Vnde ciuitas eorum destructa non fuit, sed plures eorum occiderunt, et
alios transtulerunt, acceptisque spolijs, vrbem alijs hominibus
repleuerunt, et contra ciuitatem Orna perrexerunt. [Sidenote: Orna
ciuitas.] Hac erat nimium populosa et diuitijs copiosa. Erant enim ibi
plures Christiani, videlicet Gasari et Rutheni, et Alani, et alij nec non
et Sarraceni. Eratque Sarracenorum ciuitatis dominium. Est etiam posita
super quendam magnum fluuium, et est quasi portus, habens forum maximum.
Cumque Tartari non possent eos aliter vincere, fluuium qui per vrbem
currebat, praciderunt, et illam cum rebus et hominibus submerserunt.
