ixteen millions of inhabitants subject to the
Catholic Church, and his holiness grants to them likewise the privilege
of the _Holy Crusade_ bull, with the further advantage of being allowed

interval between the death of a bishop and the consecration of his
successor. A part of the revenues of such sees during the vacancy went

{202} This spirit was preserved down to the time of Isabella of
Castille. After the conquest of Granada, Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordova,
known by the name of "the great captain," and to whose valour and
military foresight was owing, in a great degree, that glorious conquest,
erected in the precinct of the same city a proud palace which was
destined for his own use. The queen wished to see it ere it was scarcely
finished, and after having examined it minutely, turning to Gonzalo she
said,--"Gonzalo, this house is too good for a man; God only ought to live
in it." The hero, yielding to the suggestion, delivered up the edifice
to the Hieronimite monks, in order that they might found a convent
therein. The monks, grateful for so generous a gift, resolved, on the
death of Gonzalo, to inter his body in the church of the establishment;
and on the exterior of its tower they wrote in enormous letters the
epitaph of its founder in these words:--

"Gonzalvo Ferdinandez de Cordova,
Hispanorum duci,
Gallorum et Turcarum terrori."
