You must know that in that kingdom no woman is
allowed to marry until the King shall have seen her; if
the woman pleases him then he takes her to wife; if she
does not, he gives her a dowry to get her a husband
withal. In the year of Christ 1285, Messer Marco Polo
was in that country, and at that time the King had,
between sons and daughters, 326 children, of whom at
least 150 were men fit to carry arms.²

There are very great numbers of elephants in this
kingdom, and they have lignaloes in great abundance.
They have also extensive forests of the wood called
Bonús, which is jet-black, and of which chessmen and
pen-cases are made. But there is nought more to tell,
so let us proceed.³
