German encountered Quinones in the front of his helmet, breaking his lance two palms from the iron.  In the third course Quinones encountered the German in the guard of his left gauntlet, and passed through it, and the head of the lance stuck in the rim without breaking, and the German failed to encounter.  In the fourth course Quinones encountered the German in the armor of his left arm without breaking his lance, and the German failed to encounter.  In the next course both failed to encounter, but in the sixth Quinones encountered the German in the joint of his left vantbrace, and the iron passed half through without breaking, while the shaft broke in the middle, and the German failed to encounter.  After this last course they went to the judges’ stand, where their jousting was pronounced finished, since they had broken three lances between them.  Quinones invited the German to supper, and both were accompanied to their quarters by music, and Quinones disarmed himself in public.

The two Valencian knights did not delay to challenge Quinones, since he had remained uninjured; and, as they had the right to demand horses and arms, they chose those which Quinones had used in the last joust.  The chronicler adds:  “It seems to me that they did not ask it so much for their honor as for the safety of their skins.”  The judges decided that Quinones was not bound to give his own armor, as there were other suits as good:  nevertheless, he complied, and sent in addition four horses to choose from.  He was also anxious to joust with them, but Lope de Estuniga refused to yield his place, and cited the chapter of the regulations which provided that no one should single out his adversary.  Quinones offered him a very fine horse and a gold chain worth three hundred doubloons, but Estuniga answered that he would not yield his turn although he were offered a city.

At vespers Estuniga and Juan Fabla were armed and the judges examined their arms, and although Fabla had the better horse, they let it pass.  At the sound of the trumpet Estuniga entered the lists magnificently attired, and attended by two pages in armor bearing a drawn sword and a lance.  Juan Fabla followed immediately, and at the given signal they attacked each other lance in rest.  Fabla encountered Estuniga in the left arm, tearing off his armor, but neither of them broke his lance.  In the four following courses they failed to encounter.  In the sixth Fabla encountered his adversary in the breastplate, breaking his lance in the middle, and the head remained sticking in the armor.  They encountered in the seventh course, and Estuniga’s servant, who was in the lists, cried out, “At him! at him!” The judges commanded his tongue to be cut out, but at the intercession of those present the sentence was commuted to thirty blows and imprisonment.  They failed to encounter in the eighth course, but in the ninth Estuniga broke his lance on Fabla’s left arm:  the latter failed to encounter, and received
