John of Aragon

Dux vero Joannes predictus timens mortem supradictam, nolens civitatibus & locis appropinquare habitatis propter aeris infectionem, per loca nemorosa & inhabitata circumquaque se hinc inde continue versabatur. Sed dum hinc inde nunc ad aquam mili, que est in nemore Cataniensium, nunc ad quamdam turrim, que vocatur lu blancu per sex miliaria a civitate Catanie distantem, nunc ad quandam Ecclesiam sancti Salvatoris de blanchardu in nemore civitatis predicte, se quasi latitando discurreret, pervenit ad quandam Ecclesiam, seu locum per dictum Ducem noviter constructum, vocatum Sanctu Andria, qui locus est in confinibus nemoris Mascalarum; in quo dum incolumis ac sanus existebat, ex quadam sibi superveniente infirmitate mortuus extitit.

Duke John feared this death. He would not go near cities or inhabited places because the air there was infected, so he kept moving from place to place through the woods and wild country. He went here and there, as if in hiding: now to the spring of Mili in the woods of Catania, now to a tower called lu Blancu, six miles from the city, now to the church of San Salvatore de Blanchardu, in the woods of Catania. At last he came to a church and estate he had recently built, called Sanctu Andria, on the edge of the woods of Mascali. He was well and unharmed there, until a sickness came on him and he died.
