But Martin the fourth being moved with Charles misery,¹ excommunicateth Peter of Aragon, and giveth his kingdom for a pray to him that would invade it, assoiling his subjects from the bond of their oath, and finally proclaiming a Croissy against him. Besides this, he sent Ambassadors into France to king Philip, and commanded him to invade the kingdom of Aragon out of hand.² Once again therefore when the Pope had sounded his trumpet, they met together in mortal battle by the river of Geround. And at the first the Frenchmen had the better: but anon after the Spaniards get the upper hand. What needeth many words? there was a miserable and sorrowful slaughter, all things were wasted far and wide, & blood was shed without measure.
