laimed _Olas!_ and his right vantbrace
was torn off, but the lance was not broken. The German encountered
Quinones in the front of his helmet, breaking his lance two palms from
the iron. In the third course Quinones encountered the German in the
guard of his left gauntlet, and passed through it, and the head of the
lance stuck in the rim without breaking, and the German failed to
encounter. In the fourth course Quinones encountered the German in the
armor of his left arm without breaking his lance, and the German failed
to encounter. In the next course both failed to encounter, but in the
sixth Quinones encountered the German in the joint of his left
vantbrace, and the iron passed half through without breaking, while the
shaft broke in the middle, and the German failed to encounter. After
this last course they went to the judges' stand, where their jousting

The two Valencian knights did not delay to challenge Quinones, since he

regulations which provided that no one should single out his adversary.
Quinones offered him a very fine horse and a gold chain worth three
hundred doubloons, but Estuniga answered that he would not yield his
turn although he were offered a city.

At vespers Estuniga and Juan Fabla were armed and the judges examined
their arms, and although Fabla had the better horse, they let it pass.
At the sound of the trumpet Estuniga entered the lists magnificently
attired, and attended by two pages in armor bearing a drawn sword and a
lance. Juan Fabla followed immediately, and at the given signal they
attacked each other lance in rest. Fabla encountered Estuniga in the
left arm, tearing off his armor, but neither of them broke his lance. In
