There were the Spanish Moors, eager to revenge themselves on the enemies of Mahomet, and, by one blow, to repay a thousand insults; there were the Monfis, or mountain banditti, leagued with them in the hope of plunder and violence: and there were the dark Moors of Africa, whom Morocco, and Mesquinez, and Fez, sent forth to the help of their brethren.
