A
RELATION
OF
the
taking
of
the
Hauen
and
fortresse
of
SELEVCIA
called
AGLIMAN
in
CARAMANIA
,
and
of
two
Generall
Gallies
and
other
ships
of
the
TVRKES
.
THe
great
Duke
Cosmo
the
second
,
heire
of
the
valour
and
glorie
of
his
most
princely
Ancestors
as
well
as
of
their
faire
and
flourishing
States
in
Tuscanie
,
knowing
in
himselfe
hee
had
as
great
an
inclination
and
as
much
obligation
towards
all
high
&
great
attempts
in
generall
,
and
particularly
those
that
were
for
the
sea
,
as
he
saw
himselfe
left
with
few
occasions
and
little
meanes
for
the
same
,
hauing
beene
preuented
therein
by
the
ambitious
valour
of
his
father
Ferdinando
,
which
seemed
to
haue
left
after
him
nothing
of
any
possibilitie
,
or
such
as
was
full
of
extreme
difficulties
:
hee
seeing
that
(
I
say
)
fell
not
a
crying
with
that
Alexander
which
first
got
himselfe
the
name
of
Great
,
but
rather
the
more
mooued
with
laudable
emulation
,
endeuoureth
himselfe
daily
to
follow
the
victories
of
his
father
,
and
if
possible
be
,
to
raise
them
vp
to
the
top
of
all
perfection
.
For
this
effect
being
resolued
to
giue
ouer
those
flyings
on
the
sea
,
and
vtterly
transported
to
the
faire
enterprises
by
land
,
after
hee
had
made
a
most
curious
fearch
and
examination
of
the
fairest
and
hardest
among
them
,
the
first
he
iudged
worthy
of
himselfe
was
this
of
Agliman
,
a
fortresse
of
Caramania
or
Cilicia
:
a
Country
indeed
which
in
old
time
hath
had
two
most
famous
Cities
,
Tarsus
the
Metropolitan
thereof
and
S.
Pauls
country
,
and
Seleucia
with
the
port
and
hauen
thereof
,
now
adaies
called
Agliman
;
from
thence
sailed
out
armies
for
sea
the
most
strange
and
formidable
that
euer
were
heard
of
.
Historie
tels
vs
,
that
the
Pyrates
which
heeretofore
there
assembled
,
did
set
out
together
sometimes
more
than
a
thousand
great
ships
,
so
sumptuously
furnished
,
that
many
had
their
sailes
of
purple
,
the
roapes
and
gables
of
gold
,
and
the
oares
set
with
siluer
,
that
by
their
inrodes
and
scourings
they
had
spoiled
and
ruinated
aboue
foure
hundred
townes
,
and
broken
and
marred
all
the
trading
and
commerce
thorowout
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
so
that
proud
Rome
did
acknowledge
by
them
she
was
not
vnuincible
as
she
thought
,
and
was
forced
then
to
set
out
against
them
that
great
Nauie
whereof
Pompeius
the
great
was
Admirall
.
This
great
Duke
then
aspired
to
the
same
place
on
the
which
formerly
Pompeius
deseigned
his
great
enterprise
.
And
though
this
noble
obiect
was
more
than
sufficient
to
mooue
his
spirit
,
yet
the
Christian
zeale
and
pietie
was
his
chiefest
and
most
regarded
motiue
.
For
vpon
the
walles
of
the
same
fortresse
were
set
vp
the
heads
of
fortie
worthie
and
braue
subiects
of
his
,
cruelly
slaine
when
the
ship
Prospera
was
lost
by
the
stubborne
ignorance
of
the
Captaine
,
which
being
drowned
in
the
same
did
escape
the
exemplarie
punishment
he
deserued
.
This
horrible
trophey
which
the
Turkes
had
thus
erected
to
their
pride
,
still
kept
a
flea
in
the
eare
(
as
the
prouerbe
is
)
of
this
great
Duke
,
more
than
the
victories
of
Miltiades
in
the
head
of
Themistocles
.
And
such
a
pitifull
pawne
miserably
staked
vp
there
touched
his
heart
to
the
quicke
,
more
than
euer
was
touched
the
heart
of
that
famous
The
bane
for
the
losse
of
his
shield
.
The
Agah
of
the
place
did
foresee
it
very
well
,
which
many
times
endeuoured
himselfe
so
to
deale
at
Constantinople
,
that
these
heads
might
be
taken
away
,
assuring
that
they
could
auaile
to
no
other
purpose
,
but
as
baits
or
spurres
to
the
great
Duke
to
enterprise
the
ruine
of
that
place
.
Now
then
such
hath
been
the
enterprise
which
this
yeere
amongst
many
others
giuen
in
charge
(
according
to
the
custome
)
vnto
the
Admirall
Ingherrammi
did
segnalize
&
ennoble
the
fame
of
the
great
Duke
.
The
Gallies
haue
beene
these
six
:
the
Capitana
,
the
Padrona
,
the
S.
Maria
Magdalena
,
S.
Francese
,
S.
Stephano
,
S.
Giouanni
:
the
which
well
furnished
with
victuals
and
all
kinde
of
munitions
for
warre
,
manned
also
with
six
companies
of
souldiers
,
vnder
the
command
vpon
land
of
Sor.
Iulio
de
Conty
,
called
Montauto
,
with
more
than
fortie
Knights
,
and
a
good
companie
of
Nobles
willing
to
venture
with
them
,
amongst
the
which
was
reckoned
Don
Pietro
di
Medicis
.
They
did
set
out
the
last
day
of
March
from
the
port
of
Ligorn
,
after
they
had
deuoutly
called
vpon
the
diuine
fauour
vnder
the
happie
guidance
and
luckie
presence
of
the
Dukes
most
excellent
greatnesse
their
master
.
The
second
day
of
Aprill
they
arriued
at
Ciuita
Vecchia
,
and
there
found
the
Earle
of
Candale
,
Duke
of
Alluyn
eldest
sonne
to
the
Duke
of
Espernon
,
a
yoong
Lord
of
some
two
and
twenty
yeeres
of
age
,
which
burning
with
a
generous
flame
in
the
loue
of
valour
,
and
to
be
segnalized
by
the
worth
of
warres
and
deeds
of
armes
,
the
only
meane
worthy
of
himselfe
,
and
practised
by
his
ancestors
,
was
exceeding
desirous
to
be
one
in
this
enterprise
.
Which
his
Excellencie
vnderstanding
,
had
commanded
the
Admirall
to
receiue
him
,
and
to
vse
him
according
to
the
worth
of
his
person
and
house
whence
hee
was
descended
.
Thus
that
yong
Lord
with
fiftie
others
which
accompanied
him
were
shipped
and
taken
in
,
amongst
which
was
Monsr.
de
Cipierre
,
Monsr
.
de
Themines
,
the
Barons
of
Momberault
,
de
la
Tour
and
his
brother
,
of
Auenes
,
Deltour
,
Du
Plessis
,
De
la
Motte
Magnas
,
S.
Cyre
,
Monplaisir
,
de
Loïeres
,
de
Vick
,
de
la
Boissiere
,
de
Verneug
,
de
Villandreco
.
The
tenth
of
Aprill
they
were
at
Messina
,
and
the
fourteenth
departed
thence
,
hauing
well
refreshed
themselues
and
prouided
all
commodities
for
their
voiage
.
So
they
went
running
the
Archipelag
sea
,
without
any
worthie
exploit
,
vntill
the
six
and
twentieth
of
the
moneth
,
because
they
could
not
bring
happily
to
passe
another
enterprise
they
had
vpon
Geronda
a
little
towne
of
Natolia
,
which
is
held
to
be
the
Gerunda
of
the
Ancients
.
They
landed
there
by
the
fauour
of
the
stilnesse
and
darknesse
of
the
night
,
but
being
entered
there
in
due
order
,
the
next
day
morning
they
returned
thence
without
doing
any
thing
,
hauing
found
the
place
abandoned
by
the
inhabitors
,
which
many
moneths
afore
had
retreated
themselues
in
another
place
for
feare
of
the
like
surprises
.
They
set
on
and
went
forward
their
iourney
Eastward
for
many
daies
,
euen
till
the
13.
of
May
,
without
atchieuing
any
deed
,
but
the
prize
of
three
Changuis
,
which
are
ships
as
bigge
as
Caramussals
,
and
some
other
shippings
of
lesse
bignes
.
The
morning
of
the
fourteenth
day
finding
themselues
neere
Namur
(
a
place
some
other
times
ruinated
by
the
Gallies
)
they
tooke
it
for
a
luckie
signe
,
and
resolued
their
enterprise
vpon
Agliman
,
and
making
on
that
way
about
the
breake
of
day
,
they
spied
a
ship
some
ten
miles
farre
off
.
The
Admirall
knew
full
well
what
difference
is
betwixt
surprizing
and
hauing
in
chase
.
But
because
that
ship
was
iudged
to
be
a
Galley
for
the
forme
of
their
saile
,
and
for
the
obscuritie
which
as
yet
was
great
,
also
because
they
held
for
certaine
,
if
that
ship
should
escape
,
it
would
giue
warning
to
the
whole
Coast
:
againe
,
that
the
situation
of
the
Coast
was
such
,
that
by
reason
thereof
and
of
a
little
Iland
not
farre
from
thence
named
Papadula
,
the
ship
could
be
well
and
easily
had
in
chase
,
close
and
from
the
sight
of
the
fortresse
,
hee
with
the
Counsell
resolued
it
should
be
chased
and
made
on
.
Thus
making
towards
it
and
well
pursuing
it
was
ouer
reached
and
taken
in
lesse
than
one
houre
.
The
ship
was
of
a
reasonable
bignesse
of
them
which
are
called
Grips
,
and
was
comming
from
the
port
and
fortresse
of
Agliman
,
and
gaue
intelligence
that
two
daies
before
two
Gallies
of
Cyprus
were
arriued
there
,
the
Captaine
of
Cerrigna
of
25.
Beys
,
and
the
Captaine
of
Paffo
of
22.
Beys
,
hauing
broght
the
tribute
which
from
thence
is
carried
vpon
Camels
backes
to
Constantinople
.
The
summe
could
amount
to
some
200000.
crownes
.
Besides
that
they
said
that
the
same
fortresse
was
very
well
fenced
and
furnished
,
and
well
garded
,
and
that
about
it
there
was
more
than
400.
horses
,
and
that
but
a
little
while
after
them
there
was
to
goe
out
one
of
the
two
Gallies
,
euen
the
same
way
,
to
come
to
the
Iland
Papadula
to
take
a
Mast
for
their
ship
:
for
this
cause
the
Admirall
sets
forward
with
his
fleet
,
and
places
it
close
vnder
the
Iland
in
a
place
whence
it
could
not
be
perceiued
,
hauing
set
his
scout
or
gard
on
ground
.
Whilest
they
were
thus
waiting
for
the
same
,
the
returne
was
suddenly
made
,
and
intelligence
giuen
,
how
the
Gallie
had
made
towards
the
sea
more
than
twentie
miles
,
and
in
all
haste
with
her
Keeper
or
Conserua
was
retreating
towards
the
Port
,
whence
they
conceiued
that
they
had
beene
discouered
in
giuing
their
chase
.
Thereupon
was
made
a
great
difficultie
,
whether
they
should
goe
forward
in
their
enterprise
,
or
else
keepe
themselues
for
a
better
occasion
;
but
all
contrary
opinions
set
aside
,
it
was
resolued
to
goe
on
and
follow
their
designe
.
To
this
effect
they
made
towards
Port
Caualier
,
being
from
Agliman
some
twelue
miles
distance
,
and
arriuing
there
about
six
a
clocke
in
the
euening
weighed
ancour
hard
by
a
very
commodious
lands
end
,
and
very
secret
,
with
a
deliberation
to
goe
out
in
the
night
in
time
that
might
be
fit
and
safe
to
land
.
Towards
the
end
of
the
night
they
sent
out
their
long
boat
to
spie
and
discouer
.
About
two
houres
after
or
little
more
they
returne
and
report
that
all
the
Country
was
vp
in
armes
,
the
walles
furnished
with
armed
men
,
the
horsemen
about
the
fortresse
,
and
the
two
gallies
with
two
other
ships
within
the
Port.
There
on
againe
arose
a
great
doubt
if
they
should
goe
on
,
but
notwithstanding
the
manifest
apparence
of
so
great
a
danger
,
they
had
such
confidence
in
their
great
courage
,
in
the
fortune
of
his
princely
Excellencie
,
and
in
the
helpe
and
fauour
of
God
,
that
they
confirmed
againe
their
former
resolution
.
They
therefore
take
their
way
about
three
a
clocke
in
the
night
in
deepe
silence
,
and
afore
six
in
the
morning
their
landing
was
made
some
mile
and
halfe
from
the
Port.
The
Lord
Iulio
Montauto
did
land
with
the
Comte
Candale
and
some
other
choice
men
,
few
in
number
,
to
take
a
view
of
the
Countrey
,
and
though
that
they
had
some
mile
and
halfe
from
them
spied
the
Cauallerie
or
horse
men
of
the
enemie
,
yet
neuerthelesse
in
any
case
he
commanded
to
land
,
which
was
made
without
the
disturbance
of
any
of
the
companies
,
hauing
left
only
twenty
souldiers
for
the
keeping
of
each
Gallie
.
The
fortresse
of
Agliman
is
seated
vpon
a
fine
hillocke
right
opposite
to
the
south
,
extending
it selfe
from
the
top
of
the
hillocke
to
the
very
sea
shore
,
in
figure
ouall
,
or
like
an
egge
,
the
vppermost
end
whereof
is
on
the
top
of
the
hillocke
Northward
,
and
the
nethermost
,
at
the
hilles
foot
Southward
.
The
wall
is
of
very
good
stone
,
the
morter
lime
and
sand
,
a
fadome
broad
and
fiue
fadomes
high
,
so
that
a
man
may
easily
walke
vpon
it
.
In
the
third
part
of
the
inward
space
there
is
a
crossing
wall
,
which
crosses
thorow
and
ioineth
to
the
compasse
of
the
wall
from
the
East
to
the
West
,
so
that
it
diuides
the
place
in
two
vnequall
parts
;
the
lesse
is
as
it
were
a
reduction
and
retreat
of
the
biggest
.
The
going
in
is
by
one
gate
only
place
diust
in
the
middest
.
In
the
girt
of
the
walles
there
are
fiue
whole
and
full
towers
,
and
three
halfe
ones
:
the
full
ones
are
of
a
square
forme
fiue
fadomes
euery
face
;
the
halfe
ones
haue
one
face
of
the
same
bignesse
,
and
the
other
lesse
by
halfe
;
their
height
exceedeth
not
that
of
the
walles
,
except
that
which
is
in
the
point
of
the
hillocke
,
which
is
eight
foot
higher
:
the
first
full
tower
is
altogether
within
the
retiring
place
eastward
;
the
other
is
also
eastward
,
but
halfe
within
and
halfe
without
:
within
the
halfe
which
is
without
fouthward
is
the
first
gate
;
the
second
is
in
the
inward
face
turned
westward
.
The
third
tower
is
likewise
halfe
within
and
halfe
without
of
the
same
side
some
200.
foot
faire
from
the
second
:
betweene
them
both
is
one
of
the
meaue
towers
situate
outwardly
.
The
fourth
is
at
the
foresaid
top
and
point
of
the
hill
,
and
makes
as
it
were
the
corner
by
it selfe
,
being
all
inward
.
At
the
going
downe
of
the
hill
westward
the
two
other
halfe
towers
equally
distant
from
the
fifth
tower
,
which
is
halfe
without
halfe
within
,
and
directly
opposite
to
the
gates
tower
.
There
be
fiue
little
staires
to
goe
vpon
the
wall
;
foure
of
them
are
of
stone
within
the
great
place
,
and
the
fifth
is
of
wood
within
the
retreat
.
In
this
place
were
more
than
300.
fighting
men
,
the
third
part
whereof
had
shewed
out
themselues
the
euening
before
.
There
was
abundance
of
victuals
and
of
all
munition
for
warre
,
and
many
peeces
of
great
ordinance
.
Without
the
place
about
a
hundred
horses
went
vp
&
downe
,
and
within
the
port
there
were
two
Gallies
,
a
Carramussall
and
a
Greeke
Brigantin
with
some
hundred
and
fiftie
fighting
men
:
they
had
retired
within
the
fortresse
all
rowing
people
.
The
order
of
the
fight
thus
was
ordered
and
contriued
by
Montauto
;
For
the
principall
gate
and
for
that
of
the
retiring
place
he
appointed
the
companie
of
the
ship
Cappitana
,
and
that
of
S.
Stephano
with
the
petards
vnder
the
command
of
the
Earle
of
Candale
head
of
that
troope
,
with
order
taken
that
all
should
obey
him
.
The
order
being
giuen
,
my
Lord
Candale
conducting
the
point
,
spied
a
corps
de
garde
of
footmen
and
horsemen
,
whereof
he
gaue
intelligence
to
the
Generall
,
sending
word
that
still
he
would
goe
on
towards
the
fort
,
to
performe
what
he
was
bidden
,
and
that
if
the
Turkes
should
make
towards
him
,
he
would
passe
ouer
their
bellies
,
because
the
countrey
was
very
fauourable
and
good
for
the
Infanterie
or
footmen
.
The
Generall
praised
his
resolution
,
though
many
gaue
aduice
to
retreat
within
the
Gallies
.
So
the
way
was
followed
on
,
till
they
came
within
six
score
paces
of
the
place
.
Then
was
my
Lo.
Candales
troope
saluted
with
great
force
of
Muskets
from
the
towne
afore
him
,
and
from
them
of
the
Gallies
behinde
him
,
and
from
them
of
the
hill
at
his
side
,
and
with
such
outcries
and
howlings
of
the
Turkes
,
that
many
were
astonished
at
it
,
and
particularly
the
sea
men
which
carried
the
petards
,
so
that
they
let
them
fall
and
ran
away
.
They
were
taken
vp
by
the
Baron
Momberault
and
le
Tiel
a
souldier
of
Languedoc
.
Being
fifteene
paces
neere
the
place
,
my
Lo.
Candale
met
eighteene
or
twenty
Turkes
salliing
out
,
which
he
set
vpon
and
suddenly
put
to
flight
;
but
in
stead
of
pursuing
them
,
his
aduice
was
to
turne
to
the
gate
,
to
the
which
he
ran
amaine
,
thinking
to
haue
found
it
yet
open
,
but
the
Turkes
with
all
diligence
had
shut
it
againe
.
Therefore
he
commanded
the
Petart
to
be
applied
,
which
quickly
was
ready
,
but
not
without
the
hurt
and
death
of
many
:
amongst
the
which
Dom
Piedro
de
Medicis
,
which
had
done
this
honour
to
my
Lo.
Candale
to
ranke
himselfe
in
his
troopes
,
was
beaten
downe
vnder
such
a
number
of
stones
flung
at
him
,
that
he
fell
downe
halfe
dead
.
The
Lords
de
Callonges
,
de
Momberault
,
de
la
Tour
,
d'Auenes
,
and
Deltour
,
had
taken
this
charge
,
the
one
carrying
the
Petard
,
the
other
the
hookes
,
another
the
Madrer
,
and
all
the
rest
that
was
necessary
to
make
it
go
off
more
readily
.
But
as
this
sernice
was
a
doing
,
the
Sergeant
Maior
came
and
cried
out
vnto
my
Lo.
Candale
,
that
they
were
all
vndone
,
and
that
there
was
comming
right
vpon
them
a
troope
of
300.
Musketers
:
these
were
the
two
Beys
,
which
were
sallied
out
of
the
Gallies
in
the
port
,
through
the
naughty
watching
and
garding
of
two
companies
left
by
Comte
Iulio
,
and
by
him
appointed
to
withstand
them
,
and
hinder
their
comming
foorth
:
so
that
my
Lo.
Candale
was
forced
to
take
some
part
of
his
own
men
and
make
head
against
that
troope
,
leauing
the
other
part
for
the
Petard
.
But
when
the
Beys
saw
him
ready
comming
to
receiue
them
,
and
almost
at
handie
blowes
,
they
turned
away
towards
the
mountaine
,
yet
still
shooting
and
playing
with
their
Muskets
vpon
him
.
My
Lo.
Candale
would
not
follow
them
,
and
thought
it
was
more
fit
and
conuenient
to
goe
backe
to
his
Petard
,
which
instantly
did
play
on
and
made
such
a
breach
,
that
three
men
a
breast
might
easily
enter
.
Now
for
the
tower
aboue
,
the
company
of
horsemen
,
commanded
by
Lieutenant
Len
Zour
,
&
the
company
of
the
galley
of
S.
Maria
Magdalena
with
two
Ladders
were
appointed
.
For
the
retreating
place
towards
the
fourth
,
the
company
of
the
galley
Padrona
with
a
Ladder
.
And
to
the
gallies
and
ships
in
the
hauen
,
the
company
of
the
galley
of
S.
Giouanni
.
In
that
order
they
marched
,
conducted
by
Sor.
Iulio
Montauto
,
and
by
Captaine
Alexander
di
Taranta
Sergeant
Maior
,
the
Cauallerie
of
the
enemie
being
still
aside
of
them
on
the
top
of
the
hill
.
They
were
no
sooner
within
a
caliuer
shot
of
the
walles
,
but
they
were
saluted
from
thence
with
pellets
and
arrowes
liuely
and
thicke
:
being
come
neerer
,
there
flew
a
showre
of
huge
stones
vpon
their
heads
.
But
all
this
notwithstanding
,
their
Petard
plaied
on
very
happily
,
as
we
haue
said
,
and
the
second
gate
being
opened
,
the
Earle
of
Candale
with
his
troope
entered
the
first
with
a
maruellous
furie
:
and
no
sooner
were
they
in
,
but
that
they
ran
to
the
retreating
place
to
applie
there
another
Petard
;
which
was
done
,
and
the
effect
thereof
very
braue
and
seruiceable
.
The
Turkes
as
well
at
the
first
as
at
the
second
Petard
were
so
abashed
and
astonied
,
that
they
knew
not
what
to
doe
,
but
run
away
and
flie
to
the
walles
,
towers
,
and
fortifications
or
barricadoes
which
they
had
made
in
the
streets
:
our
men
pursue
them
liuely
and
presse
vpon
them
on
all
sides
.
The
two
ladders
below
were
planted
at
the
same
time
that
the
first
Petard
plaied
on
them
.
But
one
which
was
of
the
south
side
being
broken
,
not
without
some
hurt
to
those
that
were
vpon
it
,
all
of
them
ran
to
helpe
the
other
of
the
south
side
,
where
the
Cauallerie
of
the
enemie
was
charging
them
very
fiercely
;
by
the
meanes
of
which
succour
,
they
forced
the
horsemen
to
breake
away
,
and
tooke
their
flagge
or
Cornet
,
and
hauing
planted
the
ladder
against
the
walles
,
a
great
many
of
our
men
got
vp
,
and
then
diuided
themselues
into
two
companies
to
charge
both
the
one
and
the
other
side
,
opening
by
force
of
armes
that
narrow
way
,
and
went
directly
to
the
towers
,
where
they
gaue
many
furious
assaults
.
The
squadron
of
horsemen
and
the
company
of
S.
Maria
Magdalena
hauing
had
a
longer
and
harder
way
to
make
,
could
not
arriue
before
the
effect
of
the
Petards
;
at
the
noise
and
terrour
of
the
which
the
Turkes
hauing
retired
into
the
higher
place
,
they
of
the
squadron
found
a
maruellous
resistance
afore
,
and
were
laid
on
behind
very
fiercely
by
the
Cauallerie
or
horsemen
of
the
enemie
,
and
by
the
foot
which
sallied
from
the
Gallies
in
the
port
:
by
reason
whereof
the
Lieutenant
after
hee
had
done
as
much
as
a
worthy
honest
man
could
doe
,
with
his
braue
Caualieroes
,
seeing
that
he
could
aduance
nothing
,
by
the
aduice
of
the
wisest
,
he
resolued
to
goe
thence
and
make
towards
the
place
where
it
should
be
more
necessarie
.
But
as
he
was
staying
the
last
in
that
retreat
(
like
a
valiant
Captaine
,
as
also
he
had
beene
the
first
at
the
comming
on
)
he
was
shot
thorow
with
two
musket
shots
,
and
fell
dead
on
the
place
.
The
company
of
S.
Giouanni
mastered
at
an
instant
the
two
Gallies
in
the
port
,
and
our
Admirall
at
the
signe
giuen
came
with
his
Gallies
to
take
possession
of
them
in
the
port
without
any
difficultie
,
and
touched
not
the
two
other
ships
,
because
they
were
of
Greece
.
The
fighting
and
skirmishing
did
continue
still
with
all
the
towers
and
barricadoes
of
the
place
,
and
the
combat
grew
more
and
more
eager
from
both
sides
,
ours
being
kindled
with
a
braue
courage
and
held
vp
with
a
wonderfull
constancie
of
resolution
,
and
the
Turkes
hauing
the
aduantage
both
of
the
stronger
place
and
of
their
despaire
.
Finally
,
God
the
giuer
of
victories
,
was
willing
to
fauour
his
owne
cause
:
and
the
Turkes
by
little
and
little
begunne
either
to
yeeld
or
to
offer
themselues
to
the
slaughter
,
and
so
the
hoped-for
victory
was
fully
obtained
,
to
the
honour
and
glorie
of
God
,
and
of
his
Excellence
.
The
fight
lasted
aboue
foure
houres
,
very
dangerous
and
bloodie
,
a
good
number
of
ours
hauing
beene
lost
there
in
the
place
,
besides
fiftie
fiue
which
were
hurt
.
The
combat
being
finished
,
and
our
dead
brought
aboord
one
of
the
Gallies
,
amongst
the
which
were
found
Monsr.
de
Vernueil
and
the
yoong
la
Boissiere
,
very
much
lamented
for
the
great
hope
of
his
noble
valour
:
the
place
was
disfurnished
of
all
the
ordinance
,
artillerie
,
munitions
and
commodities
,
and
all
carried
away
;
and
the
houses
hauing
beene
fired
,
euery
one
retired
into
the
Gallies
,
whose
heads
were
presently
turned
towards
Europe
with
the
two
Captiues
Gallies
,
all
very
rich
,
and
with
huge
booties
,
as
well
for
hauing
taken
eight
other
ships
with
a
great
deale
of
ordinance
,
munitions
,
and
merchandises
,
as
also
for
hauing
brought
with
them
350.
Turkes
for
slaues
,
and
slaine
aboue
200.
furthermore
for
hauing
ruinated
that
famous
Fortresse
,
and
pulled
downe
that
horrible
trophey
of
40.

of
his
good
subiects
,
and

Christian
slaues
;
It
was
a
thing
aboue
all
which
greatly
reioiced
the
great
Duke
.
The
day
after
,
they
met
with
a
bigge
Caramousall
,
the
which
though
it
was
manned
but
with
fourescore
Turkes
,
yet
stood
for
the
eight
Gallies
,
and
neuer
would
yeeld
,
so
that
the
Captaine
of
the
Padrona
at
the
request
of
Monsr.
Candale
was
faine
to
make
towards
them
;
which
did
so
well
defend
themselues
,
that
they
killed
and
hurt
aboue
foure
score
of
our
men
,
three
of
the
which
were
slaine
hard
by
Monsr.
Candale
,
which
alone
of
all
the
French
had
permission
to
fight
at
the
fore
decke
,
and
shot
three
or
foure
shots
within
six
paces
of
the
enemie
,
two
of
the
which
were
slaine
thereby
.
Finally
,
as
the
seamen
of
ours
began
to
get
in
,
the
ship
was
splitted
,
and
as
many
as
were
within
both
ours
and
enemies
sunke
and
drowned
.
Some
other
ships
were
taken
with
lesse
combat
.
Then
they
arriued
at
Messina
,
where
all
the
people
with
admiration
beheld
Monsr.
de
Candale
after
the
rehearsall
which
the
Admirall
and
Comte
Iulio
di
Montauto
made
of
his
valour
