Death of Turnus, the King. In the first nine days of mourning the men of
Of Rutuli gathered timber. On the tenth day they used the timbre they had
Gathered and made a fire, brought out the body of Turnus, and threw it in the
Fire. After all the people gathered around the pyre, the flames of the fire were
Extinguished with wine, as was the custom. Then his friends and family collected
What was left of him, his bones. They wrapped him in white robes and gently
Laid him into a golden casket, and laid the casket in the hollow of the ground
That was to be his grave. Slowly they build a tomb around the casket, and
Walked away form his tomb crying. They went back to the city to feast in the
House that had once belonged to their great King.
