[12] The best account of the coinage of Majorca is in the Appendix to
Bover’s _Historia de la casa real de Mallorca y noticia de las monedas
proprias de esta isla_ (Palma, 1855).
[13] So says Fray Pedro Marsilio, the editor in Latin of the _Journal_
of Jayme I. But the olive grows wild in Majorca. The cultivated olive
is grown from the plains to a height of two thousand feet in the
mountains.
[14] _Carta historico-artistica sobre el edificio de la Iglesia
Cathedral de Palma que escribio el Exmo Don Gaspar de Jovellanos_
(Palma, 1832).
[15] So called because, when he unjustly put the brothers Carbajal to
death, they summoned him to meet them before the judgment-seat of God
on a day which they named. Fernando IV. died suddenly on that very day.
[16] ‘Esperonte’ was a salient angle in the curtain of a fortified
place, generally in front of a gate.
[17] A princess of Hainault, through another descent from the Prince
of the Morea, also claimed the Lordship of Clarencia. Philippa of
Hainault, Queen of Edward III., inherited this honorary title, and it
was given to her second son Lionel. This is a more probable origin of
the title than that it was derived from the Lordship of Clare. In that
case it would be Clare, not Clarence.
[18] I have to thank Mr. Gilbert Ogilvy for the sketches of the chair,
and the photograph.

in his _Influencia de los Aragoneses en el descubrimiento de America_.

the land tax was called _Al-mokharif_.
