When she' told them that the city must be given up they grieved greatly, thinking of all the valour that had been wasted, and all the brave men who had died to no purpose. No voice was raised however to protest, for the famine was sore upon them. Those who were able to quit the city resolved to follow their lady and gallant commander into exile among the Saracens. Before this resolution was made known to King Sancho, there came forward into the Infanta's pres- ence a knight named Bellido Dolfos..., whom the Latin chroniclers call Belidius Ataulphi. He came of a bad stock renowned for its treachery, but he had been gladly welcomed when he appeared with thirty knights to aid in the defence of the city. Ur- raca had even gone so far as to make him certain indefinite promises, and he had perhaps conceived a hope that, should she be successful, his share in her victory would be rewarded by her hand. Sancho was childless, Alfonso in exile, Garcia a prisoner, and thus he might hope eventually to be consort of the Queen.
