Özet:

Nicolas de Nicolay, geographer to Henri II of France, travelled to Turkey with French Ambassador Gabriel d'Aramon in 1550. Along the way they visited Malta, shortly after the Turkish attack that ended with the loss of Gozo. Sailing after the Turkish fleet and the Ambassador tried to persuade them to abandon their assault on Tripoli, but was instead forced to witness the siege and fall, before he was permitted to leave. They returned to Malta, taking with them the governor of Tripoli and the remaining knights, only to find the Ambassador being blamed for the surrender.

The inveterately inquisitive Nicolay describes the places, dangers and curious customs they met on their long journey, then goes on to describe Constantinople, its people and practices, from bathing to wrestling, from the Children of Tribute to the messengers who ran, shod with iron, outpacing horses.

Nicolas de Nicolay is a significant character in "Disorderly Knights" by Dorothy Dunnett, much of which takes place during the attacks on Malta, Gozo and Tripoli.
