By the which composition, the roiall citie of Granado, with all the
holds and fortresses of the realme, and the towers and castels of
Alpussarare was rendered into the hands of the said king of Spaine; and
that the king of Granado should become subiect and vassall to the king
of Spaine, and to relinquish and forsake the vsurped name of a king
foreuer: and that all the men of warre should frankelie depart out of
the citie, and none there to remaine, but artificers and merchants:
and all these things to be doone before the fiue and twentith day of
Ianuarie. But the time was preuented, for the moores on the first day
of Ianuarie sent six hundred notable personages out of the citie with
their children for hostages into the campe of the king of Spaine,
to the intent that he should put no diffidence nor mistrust in the
citizens, but that he might peaceablie and quietlie with his people
enter into the citie, and take possession of the same. The which
hostages were distributed and lodged in the tents and pauillions of the
Spanish armie.
[Sidenote: The vanquished people humblie submit th[=e]selues to the
kings vicegerent, & deliuer vp the keies of the citie.]
The third of Ianuarie, the lord of Guitterins Cardenes, great master &
gouernor of Lion, of the order of S. Iames, departed from the armie,
noblie and triumphantlie accompanied with fiue hundred horsmen, and
thrée thousand footmen toward the citie. And as he approched néere to
the suburbs, there issued out diuers noble and valiant capteins of the
Moores, making to him humble obeisance, and conducted him to a palace
adioining to the citie, called the palace of Anaxaras, and from thence
conueied him to the palace roiall of the same citie called Alhambra,
whereof hée tooke quiet and peaceable possession, to the behoofe of the
king of Spaine, whome the Moores promised and confessed to take and
obeie as their king and souereigne lord. And in signe and token that
they thought in their hearts, that which they promised by mouth; they
prostrated and humbled themselues before the said great master, and
with dolorous lamentation and salt teares deliuered to him the keies of
the said palace.
