THE     BOURNE


Teresa  of  Portugal,  at  Tuy,  and  took  it:
then  he  pointed  out  that  neither  his  sacred
character  nor  the  fueros  of  the  Compostel-
lans,  which  did  not  allow  them  to  be  in
fonsado  more  than  one  day,  would  permit
of  more  war.  The  Queen  urged  that  the
success  of  the  whole  depended  on  him,  the
Compostellans  could  go  home  according  to
law  but  in  that  case  the  enemy  would  retake
everything.  She  beguiled  him :  he  dismissed
the  Compostellans  and  stayed  on  with  his
mercenaries  and  others  who  were  obliged  to
serve.  There  was  no  opposition  as  far  as
the  Douro:  Gelmirez  took  the  occasion  to
recover  the  lands  and  churches  which  be-
longed to  the  Compostellan  Mitre  in  the
suburbs  of  Braga.
Dona  Teresa  sent  him  a  word  of  warning,
offering  him  any  castle  for  refuge  or  any
ships  for  return:  he  disbelieved  her.  The
expedition  started  back  by  Celanova  and
Castrelo,  where  the  Mifio  was  to  be  crossed.
