Probably, therefore, this fragment was taken to Madrid at the same time as the ring--that is, in the year 1677. It has an irregular shape, and measures eighteen inches long by thirteen and a half in breadth. The material is a woven mixture of silk and gold thread, and the decoration consists of castles and lions in gold and red respectively, upon a ground of carmine and dirty white. Count Valencia de Don Juan points out that this strip belonged to the lower end of the mantle, since it includes a portion of the border, formed by a series of horizontal stripes, blue, yellow, red, and gold. The character of the whole fragment is decidedly Mohammedan, and indicates a Mudejar fabric, made at Seville in the thirteenth century. I find that in the _Book of Chess_ of Alfonso the Learned (an illuminated Spanish manuscript executed in the thirteenth century, and now preserved at the Escorial), Alfonso himself is represented (Plate iii.) as wearing a mantle with this very pattern of lions and castles contained in squares. Therefore it seems extremely probable, either that this device was not uncommon on the robes of Spanish kings, or else that at some time the body of San Fernando was enveloped in a mantle belonging to, and which perhaps had been inherited by, his son. [Illustration: III KING ALFONSO THE LEARNED (_From "The Book of Chess"; MS. in the Escorial Library_)] The clothing of the Infante Don Felipe and of Doña Leonor, his wife, consists of the prince's cloak, which is nearly intact, a piece of his _aljuba_, his cap, and a strip of silken cloth inwoven with gold. The latter fragment is thought to have belonged to the robe of the Infanta. These objects, discovered in 1848, in the tomb of Don Felipe and Doña Leonor, at Villalcazar de Sirga, near Palencia, are now in the National Museum. The cloak or mantle is richly wrought in silk and gold, and bears the word _Blessing_, woven in Cufic characters upon the ground. The _aljuba_ is also of silk and gold, showing a delicate combination of blue and yellow, and the style and workmanship of all these fragments are unmistakably Mohammedan. Therefore, in textile crafts, the Spanish Moors supplied the wants and the caprices both of themselves and of their enemies the Christians. The relationship between certain under-garments of the two peoples is evident from the very titles of those garments. Thus, the Spanish _joquejo_ or _soquejo_, a scarf for winding round a woman's body, is obviously derived, or merely corrupted, from the Arabic _jocob_; the Spanish _arrede_ or _arrelde_, a kind of cloak, from the Arabic _arrida_, and the Spanish shirt or tunic for ordinary wear, called the _casot_, _quesote_, or _quizote_ (which was sometimes white and sometimes coloured) from the Arabic _al-kuesnat_. The _Chronicle of Juan the Second_ (A.D. 1410) tells of a mountain covered with Moorish troops, "and all of them had red _quesotes_."
