[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE] 1402 [i]“The four men whom they carried away were young and beardless, and had handsome faces. They wore nothing but a sort of apron made of cord, from which they hung a number of palm or reed fibres of a hair's-breadth and a half or two hairs'-breadth, which formed an effectual covering. They were un- circumcised. Their long light hair veiled their bodies down to the waist and they went barefooted. The island whence they were taken was called Canary, and was more populous than the others[/i] http://mdc.ulpgc.es/cgi-bin/showfile.exe?CISOROOT=/MDC&CISOPTR=79787&filename=116617.pdf pub 1402 ( from earlier letters) p 130 Chapter LXIX Pierre Bontier and Jean Le Verrier, Le Canarian or Book of the Conquest and Conversion of the Canarians in the year 1402 by J. De Béthencourt, ed. translated for the French by Richard Henry Major (Hakluyt Society, 1872) Gadifer de La Salle (Sainte-Radegonde, 1340 –1415) was a French knight and crusader of Poitevine origin who, with Jean de Béthencourt, conquered and explored the Canary Islands for the Kingdom of Castile. Accompanying the expedition were Brother Pierre Bontier, a Franciscan monk of Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes who later officiated at Lanzarote, and Jean le Verrier, a priest who was later installed at Fuerteventura as vicar in the chapel of Our Lady of Bethencourt. Bontier and Le Verrier served as historians of the expedition. [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
