A description of the kingdomes of Bugia and Tunis.

WHen as in the former part of this my historie I diuided Barbaria into certaine parts, I determined to write of Bugia as of a kingdome by it selfe: and I found indeed that not many yeeres ago it was a kingdome. For Bugia was subiect to the king of Tunis, and albeit for certaine yeeres the king of Telensin was Lord thereof, yet was it at length recouered againe by the king of Tunis, who committed the gouernment of the city vnto one of his sons, both for the tranquillitie of Bugia, and also that no discord might happen among his sonnes after his decease. He left behinde him three sonnes, the eldest whereof was called Habdulhaziz, and vnto him he bequeathed the kingdome of Bugia, as is aforesaide: vnto the second, whose name was Hutmen, he left the kingdome of Tunis: and the third called Hammare, he made gouernour of the region of dates. This Hammare began foorthwith to wage warre against his brother Hutmen, by whom being at length taken in the towne of Asfacos, & depriued of both his eies, he was carried captiue vnto Tunis, where he liued many yeeres blinde: but his brother Hutmen gouerned the kingdome of Tunis full fortie yeeres. The prince of Bugia being most louing and dutifull to his brother, raigned for many yeeres with great tranquilitie, till at length he was by king Ferdinand of Spaine, and by the meanes of one Pedro de Nauarra, cast out of his kingdome.
