Nicholaus Cisnerus affirmeth, that whilst Frederick the Emperor was in Sicily, his wife Constantia died at Catrana, or Catana. In the mean time, the Christians with a great many, sailed into Egypt, & took the City Heliopolis, commonly called Damatia, & long ago named Pelusinū: being in good hope to have driven Sultanus the Soldan, out of Egypt,) had a great, and marvellous overthrow, by the conveying of the water of Nylus (which then overflowed) into their Camp, and were fain to accord an unprofitable truce with the Soldan, for certain years, and to deliver the City again. Whereupon, king John, surnamed Brennius King of Jerusalem, arrived in Italy, and desired help of Emperor against his enemies.
