et bien le savoient les Turs et les Tar tres
et les mescreans qui congnoissoi ent les proesces de lui et les haultes emprinses, et pour
ce, pour le destrui re marchanderent ilz a son frere Jaquet de lui occirre et
murtrir, et fist occirre devant lui le gentil roy son frere gi sant en son lit. Ce fu
bien ennemie chose et mauvais sanc de occirre et murtrir si vaillant homme comme le roy de
Chippre, qui ne tendoit ne ne ymaginoit nuit ne jour a
autre chose fors qu’il peust acquitter la Sainte Terre et mettre hors des
mains des mescre ans. Et quant les Genevois qui moult l’amoient –
c’estoit raison car il faisoit moult a amer – sceurent les nouvelles de sa mort, ilz armerent
VII galees et les envoierent en Chippre, et pris trent de
fait la cité de Famagouse, et Jaquet dedens, et coururent la grei gneur partie du royaume. Et se ilz n’en cuidassent pis valoir, ilz l’eussent des truit, mais pour tant que les villes y sont fortes et font frontiere aux Turs, ilz les laissierent es mains des hommes des lieux, excepté la cité de
Famagouse, mais celle tiennent ilz pour eulx et la gardent. Et quant ilz l’eurent
conquise premierement ilz en osterent si grant avoir que sans nombre, et admenerent
avecques eulx en Gennes ce Jaquet qui avoit murtri
son frere, pour savoir que li Genevois en vouldroient faire. Voirs
est que le roy de Chippre avoit un beau filz le quel ilz marierent et
cou ronnerent a roy, et mistrent ce Ja quet en prison destroite,
et n’eurent point conseil du faire mourir, mais tousjours tindrent ilz Famagouse. Je ne sçay se ilz la tiennent encores.
Et mourut sur son lit
le jeune filz au roy de Chippre, dont les Genevois furent moult
courrouciéz, mais amender ne le peurent, et demoura la terre sans hoir. Je ne sçay qui
la gouverne main tenant, mais en l’an que je fu en l’os tel du conte de Fois, il
me fu dit d’un chevalier de Berne, le seigneur de Va lenchun288, que les Genevois y avoient grant part et tenoient
Famagouse, et avoit le paÿs couronné a roy ce Jaquet par defaulte de hoir; ne sçay comment ne par quelle dyablie il es toit issus
et delivréz hors de prison et des mains des Genevois.
