travels through Spain. The song does not tell a story, but it reflects the sensation or feelings that Debussy had while he was visiting Spain.

Young had Baybars sign the treaty on May 22, 1272. The main problem with the treaty in the novel, besides having Will leading the charge, was when the treaty took place.
