 Bohemia, and King Astronomus rode with him in person. Then was there great joy in the land of Bohemia, for Stilfrid had won for it great honour; and he commanded in all cities and on all gates an eagle on a golden field to be painted, and the bells to be rung, and Te Deum Laudamus to be sung. The men of Prague had ridden out a long distance to meet their lord, and had come out with the regalia, old and young, giving him an affectionate welcome; the King of Naples also they greatly honoured and gave him great gifts. The king, seeing great love and honour on their part, thanked then heartily; and when he saw that Brunswik, Stilfrid’s son, was an honourable and proper youth, he proffered to give him his daughter, saying: “Let my daughter, my beloved Neomenia, be betrothed to thee and given thee in marriage, and may the Lord God give you twain all that is good!” And after no long time they brought her honourably to Bohemia, as wife to Brunswik, and then a great marriage festival and tournament continued for two months.
