¹ Yule and Cordier, *Travels of Marco Polo*, vol. ii, pp. 331, 337, 371. Marco Polo has a strange travellers' story about the mother of these kings being alive at the time of his visit, and her throwing herself between them to prevent their fighting. 'In this way she, full many a time, brought them to desist. But when she dies it will most assuredly happen that they will fall out and destroy one another' (p. 371).
