Constable came out to meet him with
many horsemen. And at entering into
the city he placed himself within the
gate and as the King entered he said to
the Bishop of Siguenza: “Come in, loyal
prelate deserving of much honour; for
you and your line have served the King
my lord always and followed him, like
noble men of blood untainted.” And
behind, he let the counsellors pass in
and the servants of the King, and as
Roderick of Ulloa addressed himself to
pass, he set the front of his lance against
his breast, saying: “Stay out, Roderick
of Ulloa, for the city of Jaen is not used
to welcoming traitors, but only such men
as are loyal to the King, my lord,” and so
shamefully the gate was shut in his face
and he was left outside. And then he
took the King right gladly and took him
to lodging in his house in the joyfullest
guise he could; and all the others were
well lodged, and the King lay there a
week right well pleased. But as the
Master D. Juan Pacheco still ruled him,
when the Master sent for him, the King
went back from Jaen to Osuna.
At last he came to die. It was 1474 now.
