LXXXVII.  2.— For  "Red  Frederick"  (II.)  the  "se-
vere son  of  the  Emperor"  (Henry  VI.),  and  the  grandson
of  Barbarossa ;  the  Hohenstaufen  King  of  Naples  so
infamous  in  Dante  (Inferno,  x.  119,  etc.)  after  his  foul
murder  of  Piero  delle  Vigne  (Petrus  de  Vinea),  see
Gibbon  (D.  and  F.,  chap,  lix.)  and  Napier  (History  of
Florence,  i.  197).  The  short  allusion  (11.  7,  8)  to  the
Battle  of  Tiberias  called  after  the  "Horns  of  Hattin"
(Kuriin  Hattin),  which  ended  (July  5,  1187),  the  Third
Crusade,  is  quite  correct  as  far  as  it  goes.  Guy  de
Lusignan  attacked  "  Saladin  "  (Salah  el-Din)  who,  after
plundering  Tiberias,  encamped  upon  a  strong  position
above  it.  The  Christians,  having  passed  a  thirsty  night,
were  defeated  as  decisively  as  D.  Sebastiam  :  very  few
Knights  were  able  to  cut  their  way  through  the  enemy,
and  to  reach  St.  John  of  Acre.  Three  Bishops  were
killed  in  defending  what  was  supposed  to  be  the  "  True
Cross  ";  and,  when  the  Christians  proposed  to  ransom  it,
Saladin  conscientiously  refused  to  return  the  "  object  of
their  debased  superstition,  "^  Hence  it  was  carried  to
(Old)  Cairo  and  perhaps  used  as  firewood :  there  is  a
bare  possibility  of  its  being  still  in  the  lumber-stores  of
some  half-ruined  Mosque.
LXXXIX.  6. — Tui^  the  Galician  town,  in  prose  would
be  Tiii  or  Tuy.
•  No  Moslem  believes  that  Hazrat  Isa  (the  Lord  Jesus)  died  on
the  Cross.
