MILITARY ORDERS
Castles in
the Holy
Land
turning it back upon the pure bodily
apprehension and delight.

In 1176 the Master and knights were
helping Alfonso IX against the King of
Navarre who had seized Navarrete, Lo-
grono and other places that made up the
old Kingdom of Najera: the Moors raided
Ucles and the King collected to help this
Order, Templars and those of Calatrava,
and they took Cuenca and on the way
home recovered Ucles. Thence the Master
went on to the Holy Land, perhaps to
found a convent there: at any rate Bohe-
mond of Antioch gave him certain castles.
The Order of Calatrava still held the royal
titles to Ucles, and now the Master was
able to acquire these in exchange for the
city of Alcobella. He died in that year
and was buried in S. Marcos: I have quoted
his epitaph in The Way of S. James. Two
Masters were elected, but D. Frey Sancho
Fernandez of Lemos, elected to Leon,
