De vastacione Hispanie per Sarracenos.
The Saracen Onslaught in Spain
In 1266, Saracens from Africa invaded Spain, and the Christians ultimately prevailed over them at great cost in their own blood.
In the year of our Lord 1266, many Saracens came from Africa and seized Spain, but at last the Christians triumphed over them—not without much shedding of their own blood. (Mart. p. 408.)

Anno domini MCCLXVI multi Sarraceni ex Africa venientes Hispaniam occupant, sed tandem Cristiani non sine multa sanguinis sui effusione de ipsis triumphabant. (Mart. p. 408.)
