Pilgrims might safely go and come and visit the Holy Sepulchre, but d'Au- busson must understand that Jerusalem was also to the Mohammedan a sacred city, that the Mosque of Omar, erected on the site of Solomon's Temple, was for them a shrine of pilgrimage second only to Mecca. If the Hospitallers would help him, well and good. If not, he demanded haughtily to be escorted to the King of Hungary, who would be glad of a league with the Turcomans to keep the Ot- toman Turks from encroaching on his ...empire. While these interviews were being held with Zizim, d'Aubusson received a communi- cation from the Pope informing him that Bajazet was about to collect all his forces and lay siege to Rhodes to obtain possession of his brother, and that the Pope, desirous of preserving peace and not meddling with quarrels which did not concern him, com- manded the Grand Master to deliver over Zizim to his brother's emissaries. D'Aubusson saw that Bajazet had finally offered Borgia a sufficient bribe, and that between the two he could no longer keep Zizim in safety at Rhodes.
