***Grant us/Give us*** the Kingdom of Murcia Explanation: I imagine this is what is meant here. HTH Sheila -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 minutes (2009-03-30 13:58:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I meant ***granted*** us or ***gave*** us! It's 'dió' nos - so past tense! Sheila Is this the full text? lfonso X, al constituir en 1270 el monasterio cisterciense de Santa María la Real en Murcia, recordaba con nostalgia su entrada en la capital murciana en el mes de mayo de 1243 al escribir: "En los muchos bienes et grandes mercedes que Dios nos fizo en este mundo de muchas maneras et señaladamientre en damos tierras grandes et buenas, que quiso que heredásemos de nuestros antecesores, et otras que quiso que y ganásemos de los enemigos de la fe a servicio de El et a gran daño dellos, entre todas aquellas ***dionos el regno de Murcia*** en nuestra mancebía et encabezamiento de nuestros fechos. Et por el bien et merced et onrra que El nos y fizo, amamos nos et devemos querer esta regno entre todos los otros". |
