and Getid's Forces led by Sha-Rablan entred France : the firft had better fortune than the
fecond; for thofe under landed and conquered Granada, and rooted themfelves
for feven hundred years in Syain till Ferdinand of" late expulfed, and his fuccefTor forced
them back to Barbary. Thofe that entred France (albeit they were invited thither by Eudo
Duke of Aquitain who hated Charles Mart el Grand-f&ther of Charlemaine mortally; were
refifted by Martel and thirty thoufand Fm^ Gailanh, (Eudo the Weft-Go,^ upon better
confideration fiding with the Chriftiansy) fo as after a long and fmart fight in view of the
City of Tours in Tour aim in France, and not at Turin in Tiedmcnt as fome have imagined,
the Saracens were beaten, and of their numberlefs company three hundred thoufand flain,

when they heard of thefe mif-fortunes.
Marvan was placed in their Head *, in whofe time Hyblin his General purpofed to invade
Tartary with an hundred thoufand Men ^ but in the way was aflailed by Sophy Salyn Saint
jizjnully^s Son,of defcent from Ally and Lamcnit the ArachoJian,\n which con .\\ldiHyblin was
flain. Marvan in revenge, with three hundred thoufand Saracens enters Ferfia, where
Salyn encounters him, and near to Spaham vanquifhed the Arabian, an hundred thoufand
of his Men being flain and fcattered, Marvan affrighted at this lofs flies from Babylon
to Mecca, and tnence into <^£gypt ^ -bat thither alfo Salyn purfues him j and by his Ba-
nifliment or death put an end to the Race of his inveterate Enemies the Ben-Humians,
begun by Mavi, by Mar van ended.
The Family of Mortis-Ally or Ben-Abbas in this Man began again to recover the Sce
pter of Ferfia Anno Dom. 750. of the Heg. 130. For albeit Abuballa a while oppofed
Saint Azjmulli, Afmulli at Cufe was crown'd King and fat as Caliph alfo. Authors here a
little vary •, for fome fay it was Aunulli who brought fo great a force out of Chorafan
that made Marvan fly from Ferfia to ^£gypt, and thence into Barbary, where he feated
in Fe&z. and Morocco, and peopled divers parts of North Africk, the being from
them defcended, diftinguifhed from the Brebers or Mountaineers the old Inhabitants of
thofe Countreys. And about this time it was that the Turks living then in the moil Nor
therly parts of Zagathai made an irruption through the Cajpian Straits, and for fome
time feated^hemfelves .in Turcomania a Province in Armenia the greater. This Azmulli
is he that revived Mutar\ Tenents to the honour of Ally and difgrace of the three Suc-
ceffors of Mahomet, publifhed afterwards by Siet Gunet of Ardaveil.
Saint Azjmulli being dead, his Son Sdyn was faluted King who after three years dy
ing, Abu-becr, called Bugiafer and Almanjor, fucceeded him An. Dom. 758. of the Heg.
138. This is he who repaired Bagdat. Mahadi-Abuballa followed him, by fome called
Negmedden-Phidul-Ally, to whom, Mofes or Etadumir^a, Father of that Amarumlm of
whom the French fpeak fo much- In nis time viz.* 798. Charlemaigne fiouriflied, and this
our Ifle under Edgar altered its Name from Britain to England. 5 Twixt this Amarumlm
(or Aaron King of Perfia) and the Chriftian Emperour Charles was great amity, Am-
baffadours and Prefents being reciprocally fent from each other, as we find recorded by
v£ginardm his Secretary and zAZmilim ^Jib. Aaron fome fay died a Chriftian. In his
time many Fanatick Scholars in the fight of thoufands undertook to fly, but in the tryal
from one Rock to another notwithftanding the height of the wind, periihed.
Aaron after three and twenty years rule died, and Mahomet his Son reigned 5 years
after him: Abdalla after him-, who when he had for fome time raged againft the Chri-
ftians and troubled divers of the Wands in the Mediterranean Sea,^ died, and was fuc

Rome ; but he alfo in ihort fpace vanilhed, and was fucceeded by thefe Caliphs fucceflively>
