How Reys Mudafar and his brother, on hearing of Reys Hamed's death, set out with all their host to attack the king's palace, and fortified themselves therein, and of what further happened.
The brothers of Reys Hamed, who found themselves put out of the business, with their people (although what with the blowing of trumpets and beating drums incessantly, because they had been ordered so to do, they had perceived nothing of what had happened indoors), nevertheless, on account of the suspicions which they experienced, drew near with axes, intending to break the doors in, and force the entrance. But Afonso Dalboquerque, desirous of preventing this, ordered a gun to be fired. This was the signal which he had preconcerted with the captains of the train-bands, and as soon as they heard it, they made their way directly to the gate, and compelled Reys Hamed's brother and all his people to withdraw. And when they began to skirmish with these, Dom Garcia came up and bade them, on the behalf of Afonso Dalboquerque, to take care what they were about, for there were adherents of the king and of Reys Nordim mixed up with these Moors.
