He was to sit there. On taking his seat, he presented a breastplate, a head-piece (morion\], and sword-mountings, all of fine work made at Paris. All these were accepted by the king, who looked at the ambassador with a pleased face, saying to him that he was delighted at his coming. All this was spoken through an interpreter, an Armenian, who was in our employ. Then he asked after the health of the King of England, inquiring if he had any brothers, if he were married, how old he was, and whether he was loved by his people. To all these questions the ambassador replied, and after the lapse of one hour the king rose, saying to the ambassador that he should take rest and recover from his fatigues. Meanwhile he forwarded to Espahao (Isfahan) the letter brought by the ambassador in order to have it translated by a Capuchin friar named Frey Raphael Dumans, well acquainted with the Turkish and Persian languages, a priest of great virtues, loved by the king and all the court. The letter having been translated, the king sent to the ambassador an invitation to come to court, where he gave him a banquet at his own table. It was given in the hall already described, which was decorated with rich carpets, and seats covered with rich brocade, and handsome cushions. - [Previous: 32.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.2) - [Next: 32.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.4) - [Up: 32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.3) · Pramāṇa
