'Buildings of every sort were afered to fall into ruins. It was thought uxelosa to repair them when the end of the world was Knights, citizens, and seria, travelled eastwards, in company with their wives and children, singing psalms as they went, and looking with fearful eyes upon tho alcy, which they expected each moment
