•unto he anfwered every word as before ; _but
asking him the third time the very lame queftion,
how her Son did? Doft thou ask me lb often
(laid the ^/Ethiopian ) how he doth ? Bre Catfbpe
(O Whore, faid he) thou haft brought forth
a Son like a Divel, who roaming up 'and down*
doth nothing but burn and deftroy the World
where he comcth. Whereat the Queen crying
out, up' ftarted the *ALtbiopian; and betaking
himfelf to his Heels, was never more afterwards
leen.
In the Wars which Bajazet had againft Si-
Tcmurta- gjfmund^ the Vayvod of Valacbia had given aid
f«, Baji. to tne Hungarian King; wherewith Bajazet be-
£Tt*t Lieu- * n 8 offended, determined now at lengt-h to be
tenant in revenged; and therefore intending to make War
Afla,Mty* upon the Valaebian Prince, left Temurtafes his
^''jf & great Lieutenant at Ancyra in Alia, and lb palled
JJ/,' over HeUeJpmus himfelf againft the Valachians.
•/Can- Upon whole departure, Aladin his Sifters Son
mania.. the young King of Caramania, with a great
Power came luddainly in the night to Ancyra,
and took Temurtafes Prilbner; who then feared
nothing lels, than in time of Peace to be fb
lurprifed, and carried away in bonds into Caramania.
But when he underftood that Bajazet
had ended his Wars in Valacbia, and was with
Victory returned to Prufa, he fearing his heavy
indignation for fb great an outrage, prelendy
releafed Temurtafes out of Prilbn , apparelled
him richly after the manner of that Nation,
craved pardon for the wrong he had done him,
and let him at liberty to go whither he would,
and withal lent one of his Noblemen with great
Gifts and Prefents to Bajazet, to make his excule
in the belt manner he could •> unto which
Embafiador Bajazet ( yet in choler) would not
give audience, or iiiffer him to come in his
fight; but at the lame time levied a great Army
to invade Caramania* Which Aladin underftanding,
and now out of all hope to appeafe this
mighty Enemy, levied all the Forces he could
in his own Kingdom, and withal entertained
all the Mercenary Souldiers he could get, intending
to try his Fortune in the Field, as a
man ot Valour, rather than to be thruft out of
his Kingdom like a Coward; and io in readinels,
hearing of the coming of Bajazet, met him
upon the way, and at a place called Aczac gave
him Battel v but being too weak, he was overcome
and put to Flight; in which Flight his
Horle Humbling, and he falling to the ground,
was there before he could recover himfelf, taken
by his Enemies which had him in chafe, and
lb brought bound to Bajazet v his two Sons MHhumtt
Beg and Alts Beg, being taken in that Battel
alio, were lent Prilbners to Prufa.- Aladin
himfelf was by Bajazet s command delivered to
his Enemy Temurtafes; who in revenge of the
wrong he had before done him, prelendy cauied
him to be hanged > which when Bajazet underftood,
he feemed very lorry that he had fb
put him to death; for that he was his own
Sifters Son. Bajazet following the courfe of his
Victory, won Iconium, Larenda, Nigde, widi all
•the reft of Aladin his Kingdom. About this
A mafia tune towards SebaFtia, where the Citizens Had a IW
tie before deprived Cafi-Burcbamdm of his Government,
for his Cruelty, and placed his Son
in. his ftead; but in Ihort time no lels weary
of the Son * than before of the Father, they
with j like inconftancy lent word to Bajazet;
That if he would come that way, they would
yield unto him the City; upon whole approach,
Cafis (his Son) for fear fled out of the
I City, to Prince Nafradm his Brother-in-Law.
After whole departure, the Citizens according sdaftttf
to their promife, delivered the City unto Baja- dtlhtired
I zet at his coming, wherein he left Solyman his ''P*'**
eldeft Son Governor. And fb having' in this
alio, Amafia the great Metropolidcal City
yielded un- of Capadocia, was by the Prince thereof delir«Bija-
vered unto Bajazet, being too weak himfelf to
***• defend rhe lame againft the force of Cafi-Burcbanidm,
Prince of the great and ftrong City
of Sebafiia, his Enemy > now grown to be a
man of great Power in that part of Afia, and
had lollicited the Sultan of Egypt to aid him
againft Bajazet. Whereupon Bajazet returning
from the Conqueft of CIMMMM, led his Army
z "*
notable expedition conquered the Kingdom of
Caramania-, and taken the great Cities- of Ama-
Jia and Sebaflia, with moft part of Capadocia, And
all that part of Afia which the Turks Call 2ta»
mika Afiatica, he returned to Prujk and there
wintered.
The next Spring, Bajazet hearing that his
old Enemy Cutran Bajazet Prince ot Caft.amma
and Pontus, was dead, came to Cafiamona with B-a;fet
a great Army ; which Isfendtar ( Cutrun Baja- hvadttb
zett Son, and then Prince of that Country) Isfcndiar
hearing, fled out of the City of Synop, a little p' *f
City upon the coaft of the Euxive j from whence „/ amo *
he lent an EmbaiTadpr to Bajazet, humbly re*
quelling him, to fuller him to have that litde
City, as his Servant to live in, (which he was
lure he would otherwile beftow upon feme other
of his Servants) and not to feelf the innocent
blood of. the Son for the Fathers offence. Which
his requeft Bajazet, moved with pity ^eafily
granted; yet neverthelefs took from him Cafiawont,
with the greateft part of bis dominion
in Pontus, which he gave to his Son Soljman.
At the lame time .he Yioiendy opprefled the
Prince Germean, and took from him the Cities
of Defpotr-polu and Hitrapolis, with all the reft
of his Dominion. ,
The Prince of Mmttfia, long before driven
out of his Country by Bajazet, (as is before declared
) and having all this while made his abode
at Caflamona, doubting now of his own iajfetyy
after the death of his good Friend Cutrun Baja'
zet, in rhe Habit of an Hermit fled to the great
Tartarian Prince Tamerlane.
Bajazet returning to Prufa, there built a magnificent
Mahometan Temple j during which work
he with great Superftition forbore drinking of
Winej repofing himfelf with die Company of
grave and learned men, and the adminiltration
of Juftice; whereby he greatly won the
Hearts of his Subjects, and bad now 1b inlarged
his Kingdom,that all Kings and Pfmces bordering
upon him flood in great fear of him.
. It fortuned about this time, that Aehmetes King
of Bagdat ( or New Babylon) and Eiracum, with
Jofepbm Niger King of Colchis, inforccd With
the violent incurhons of Tamerlane and his Tartars,
for fafeguard of their Lives were glad to
flie into Syria: where they being dilcovered,
were both caft in Prilbn by the commandment
of the Egyptian Sultan, who then commanded
over Syria: from whence they afterwards hardly
efcaping, fled tp Bajazets Court. Where
after Aehmetes had ftaid two months, he by the
aid of Bajazet recovered rhe poffefliqn of Eiracum
part of his own Inheritance. Jofepbm the
other Mahometan King having tarried in Bajazets
Court eight Months, at length procured
him to invade die Dominions of die Egyptian
Sultan; in which expedition he mightily prevailed,
and having llain die Eg) pi tan Sultans General,
and dilcomnted his Forces, took die City
of Majaty or Melstine in Armenia, with Diorige,
Dertnde,
