Extract

On pages 559–64 of Vol: II of Chronica Majora of Matthew Paris (London. 1874) we find under the date of a.d. 1213 the following curious anecdote regarding King John. The heading runs: Qualiter rex desperans miserit ad admiralium Murmelim. The story, which never seems to have attracted the attention it deserves, is of considerable interest to students of Islamic history, whether it be based on fact or no.
