A
briefe
collection
or
Epitomie
of
all
the
notable
and
material
things
contained
in
the
hystorie
of
Guicchiardine
:
being
verie
necessarie
for
Parliament
,
councell
,
treatises
,
and
negotiations
.
LOdouike
Sforce
,
tutor
and
vncle
to
Iohn
Galeas
,
duke
of
Millaine
,
fearing
least
Ferdinand
king
of
Naples
should
make
war
vpon
him
,
departed
from
the
league
lately
made
betweene
him
,
the
king
,
&
the
Florentines
against
the
Venetians
:
and
closely
procureth
Charles
the
viii
.
king
of
France
to
come
to
Italie
to
conquer
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
as
due
to
the
house
of
Aniow
:
for
that
Pope
Vrbin
the
fourth
,
gaue
Naples
and
Cicill
,
being
the
olde
fee
of
the
Church
,
vnto
Charles
Earle
of
Prouince
,
and
Aniow
,
brother
vnto
Saint
Lewis
.
Ferdinand
was
verie
secure
,
as
commonly
men
are
in
their
woorst
destinie
,
knowing
his
strength
both
by
sea
and
land
,
and
knowing
withall
that
there
was
no
great
matter
in
his
enemie
:
but
he
remembred
not
the
weakenesse
and
parcialities
in
Italie
,
and
that
France
was
not
since
Charlemans
time
so
great
in
circuite
,
nor
flourishing
in
souldiers
.
Howbeit
he
treated
with
Lodouike
for
amitie
(
who
secretly
promised
him
)
meaning
nothing
lesse
,
and
with
Alexander
the
sixt
(
lately
chosen
Pope
by
open
symonie
,
and
by
the
meanes
of
Cardinall
Ascanio
Sforce
,
in
despite
of
the
Cardinall
of
Saint
Peters
ad
Vincula
)
who
before
was
secretly
confederated
with
Lodouike
,
and
yet
promised
Ferdinand
that
he
would
defend
Naples
,
and
Ferdinand
should
defend
the
Church
.
Ferdinand
further
made
peace
with
Maximilian
king
of
Romans
,
lately
chosen
Emperour
:
Lodouike
on
the
other
side
,
to
winne
the
Emperour
from
him
,
gaue
in
mariage
to
the
Emperour
Marie
Blanche
sister
of
Iohn
Galeas
,
with
promise
of
foure
hundred
thousand
ducats
,
whereupon
the
Emperour
more
esteeming
the
mony
,
then
his
new
brother
in
law
,
gaue
the
inuestiture
of
the
duchie
of
Millain
vnto
Lodouike
:
pretending
that
since
the
death
of
Philip
Viscont
Mary
there
had
bene
no
lawfull
duke
thereof
.
The
French
king
hereupon
sent
Peron
de
la
Bascha
,
embassadour
to
the
Pope
,
the
Florentines
,
and
the
Venetians
:
where
albeit
he
receiued
onely
comforts
in
generalitie
,
(
for
that
the
warres
were
put
off
till
the
next
yeare
)
yet
Ferdinand
seeing
all
things
now
like
to
come
to
naught
,
fel
into
pensiuenesse
,
and
so
into
an
Apoplexie
,
&
died
,
whose
sonne
Alfonso
succeeded
,
and
entred
league
with
Pope
Alexander
,
as
his
father
did
.
But
discouering
the
trecheries
of
Lodouike
,
he
sent
away
his
ambassadour
,
he
sequestred
the
reuenues
of
the
duchie
of
Barrie
,
and
by
all
meanes
endeuoured
also
to
alienate
from
him
the
citie
of
Geane
:
yea
(
that
which
the
deuil
himself
would
scarcely
haue
done
)
he
sent
to
the
Turke
Baiazet
Ottoman
,
assuring
him
that
Charles
the
French
king
after
the
conquest
of
Italie
,
had
a
meaning
to
set
vppon
Greece
,
and
therefore
he
should
helpe
in
this
common
case
.
He
sent
his
nephew
forthwith
to
surprise
Geane
:
but
Lois
duke
of
Orleance
preuented
him
.
Now
began
Italie
to
thinke
of
her
weakenes
,
&
the
Pope
commanded
the
king
not
to
enter
:
Peter
de
Medices
and
the
Florentines
(
who
were
euer
French
heretofore
)
declared
them selues
against
the
king
:
the
Venecians
were
content
to
stande
neuter
.
Lodouike
vpon
better
aduice
,
began
to
feare
that
the
conquering
Naples
,
would
also
swallow
vp
Millaine
,
and
therefore
began
now
to
cast
how
to
make
an
accord
as
soone
as
the
king
were
past
the
Alpes
:
hoping
to
make
Alphonso
tributarie
to
France
,
and
thereby
to
assure
his
owne
estate
.
Now
began
prodigious
sights
to
be
seene
:
as
in
Puglia
,
three
Sunnes
enuironed
with
cloudes
,
and
horrible
thundering
.
In
Arezzo
armies
of
men
and
horses
,
in
the
aire
,
with
drummes
and
trumpets
,
and
diuerse
Images
sweating
.
The
Colonoys
ioine
with
the
French
,
Lodouike
accompanieth
them
,
Peter
de
Medices
becommeth
his
friend
,
and
the
Pisans
,
the
Pope
,
the
Venecians
,
and
Lodouike
in
greater
feare
then
euer
tofore
:
for
that
Charles
passed
like
a
thunder
through
Italie
,
with
great
successe
.
Charles
entereth
Rome
,
kisseth
the
Popes
feete
,
and
ioyneth
with
him
in
league
defensiue
:
the
Cardinall
of
Valence
,
sonne
to
the
Pope
,
is
appointed
three
monethes
to
followe
the
king
toward
Naples
.
The
Neapolitans
shew
that
they
neither
loued
Ferdinand
the
father
,
nor
Alfonso
the
sonne
,
which
brought
him
in
great
perplexitie
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
for
that
the
spirite
of
Ferdinand
(
as
it
was
thought
)
appeared
to
his
chiefe
surgeon
,
willing
him
to
tell
Alfonso
,
that
it
was
in
vain
for
him
to
resist
the
French
king
,
it
was
determined
their
race
should
faile
in
respect
of
diuerse
their
great
sinnes
,
and
especially
for
the
thing
that
they
resolued
in
Saint
Leonards
Church
in
Chiaie
,
which
was
to
put
a
number
of
the
novilitie
to
death
.
Hereupon
Alfonso
tormented
in
conscience
,
priuily
stole
away
into
Sicilia
,
with
foure
gallies
,
whereby
the
French
king
with
great
ease
got
this
noble
kingdome
:
as
the
Romane
who
said
,
Veni
,
vidi
,
vici
.
Howbeit
,
Ferdinand
sonne
of
Alfonso
tooke
on
him
the
title
of
the
king
,
and
defence
of
the
kingdome
.
But
within
short
space
hee
was
driuen
to
flie
into
Iskia
.
At
this
time
the
noble
captaine
Iean
Iaques
de
Trinulce
of
Capua
.
gaue
himselfe
to
the
king
,
and
offered
to
bring
Ferdinand
to
some
good
composition
:
whereof
the
king
willingly
accepted
:
so
that
hee
woulde
forgo
Naples
,
in
respect
whereof
,
he
offered
to
giue
him
other
estates
in
Fraunce
.
This
was
the
fruite
of
discorde
and
ambition
in
the
manie
little
estates
of
Italie
,
whereof
none
was
able
to
defende
it selfe
seuerally
,
and
ioyntly
might
haue
done
greater
things
.
The
second
Booke
.
THe
Pisans
desire
to
cast
off
the
yoke
of
the
Florentines
,
and
submit
themselues
to
the
French
:
the
Florentines
prepare
to
warre
vpon
them
,
and
in
the
meane
time
fall
at
difference
among
them selues
for
the
forme
of
their
owne
gouernement
:
touching
the
which
Soderin
and
Vespucci
made
two
excellent
Orations
,
one
for
Democratie
,
the
other
for
Aristocratie
,
the
which
had
preuailed
,
had
not
the
authoritie
of
Frier
Sauinorola
carried
it
away
,
who
like
a
Prophet
in
the
middest
of
their
quietnesse
foretolde
them
all
the
miseries
of
Italie
by
strangers
to
come
.
The
Pope
is
suspected
to
haue
poisoned
Gemin
Ottoman
,
being
corrupted
thereunto
by
the
Turke
,
for
feare
hee
shoulde
aide
the
French
king
against
him
,
after
his
conquest
of
Italie
,
Lodouike
Sforce
and
the
Venetians
,
seeing
the
incredible
successe
of
king
Charles
,
feared
now
bondage
to
themselues
,
and
began
to
league
together
,
bringing
thereunto
the
Pope
,
the
king
of
Romanes
,
and
the
king
of
Spaine
.
The
Florentines
were
also
dealt
withall
,
but
what
for
feare
,
and
what
for
lothnesse
to
leese
the
traffike
of
Fraunce
they
helde
backe
.
Notwithstanding
that
the
king
heard
of
this
league
,
yet
he
caused
himselfe
to
be
crowned
before
hee
woulde
depart
from
Naples
,
and
treated
verie
earnest
amitie
with
the
Pope
,
who
made
to
him
faire
semblant
and
promise
,
and
yet
he
so
little
trusted
the
king
,
that
at
his
returne
from
Naples
by
Rome
,
the
Pope
forsooke
Rome
,
and
went
secretly
to
Orbieta
,
and
from
thence
to
Perugia
,
and
so
to
Ancona
,
to
haue
commoditie
of
the
sea
,
if
neede
shoulde
require
.
The
king
in
the
mean
time
passed
by
Siena
,
and
Pisa
,
and
the
confederates
had
a
meaning
to
stop
his
passage
into
France
:
but
their
hearts
fayled
them
at
the
first
.
After
assembling
an
armie
neere
the
riuer
Taro
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
marques
of
Mantua
,
they
fought
a
long
battell
,
where
the
bastard
of
Burbon
was
slaine
,
and
the
king
almost
taken
prisoner
,
had
he
not
bene
well
horsed
:
and
yet
in
the
ende
the
Frenchmen
had
the
honour
of
the
field
,
at
which
time
it
was
noted
that
the
souldiers
of
Lodouike
would
not
fight
,
as
though
he
had
bene
in
as
much
danger
of
the
Venetians
,
as
of
the
Frenchmens
victorie
.
The
insolent
gouernement
of
the
Frenchmen
(
who
can
better
win
then
keepe
)
became
odious
,
and
consequently
Ferdinand
in
hope
to
recouer
Naples
.
But
at
the
first
incounter
,
his
horse
was
slaine
vnder
him
,
and
himself
had
beene
vndoubtedly
slaine
,
had
not
an
olde
page
of
his
,
brother
to
the
duke
of
Termini
,
horsed
him
vpon
his
owne
horse
,
and
suffred
himselfe
to
be
slaine
for
him
,
a
rare
example
in
our
time
.
Within
a
while
after
the
Neapolitans
of
themselues
receyued
Ferdinand
,
and
the
Frenchmen
retyre
to
the
Castell
.
Nouaria
and
other
places
are
besieged
by
the
king
,
and
the
Bailie
of
Diuion
,
who
being
willed
by
the
king
to
send
for
ten
thousand
Switchers
,
there
came
twentie
thousand
at
the
composition
of
Nouaria
:
and
a
peace
beginginneth
to
be
treated
betweene
the
king
and
Lodouike
:
touching
the
which
,
Monsieur
de
la
Tremouille
,
and
the
prince
of
Orange
,
made
two
contrarie
Orations
,
and
the
duke
of
Orleance
gainesayd
the
peace
so
earnestly
,
that
he
gaue
the
prince
of
Orange
the
lie
.
Howbeit
the
king
and
the
greater
part
being
inclined
to
peace
,
and
desirous
to
returne
into
France
,
the
king
departed
suddenly
to
Thurin
,
for
that
the
Swissers
murmured
,
threatning
to
take
him
prisoner
for
lacke
of
pay
:
for
that
Lewis
the
eleuenth
,
was
woont
euer
to
pay
them
for
three
moneths
:
wherevnto
the
king
was
faine
to
yeelde
,
though
he
were
escaped
himselfe
out
of
their
daungers
,
for
that
they
had
taken
prisoners
the
Bailie
of
Diuion
,
and
other
Captaines
.
At
the
time
that
the
Frenchmen
helde
Naples
,
the
horrible
disease
of
the
pockes
,
a
thing
then
vncurable
,
began
in
most
pitifull
vlcers
and
cankers
.
The
third
Booke
.
THis
vnwise
and
sudden
returne
of
king
Charles
,
put
all
Italie
in
hope
to
be
at
rest
from
any
more
such
plagues
,
and
among
the
rest
Lodouike
thinking
that
he
had
so
farre
offended
the
king
,
as
it
was
but
follie
to
keepe
that
peace
,
which
he
neuer
meant
further
then
for
the
holding
of
Nouaria
,
and
for
his
own
safetie
,
searched
forthwith
some
honest
colour
to
slippe
from
the
king
,
and
to
set
some
other
states
at
oddes
with
him
,
which
hee
did
with
such
successe
,
that
he
termed
himselfe
,
The
sonne
of
Fortune
.
And
yet
within
a
while
after
,
hearing
of
the
kings
full
resolution
to
returne
againe
into
Italie
,
he
was
marueilously
perplexed
,
insomuch
that
once
againe
he
practised
capitulations
with
the
king
:
wherein
he
would
haue
accorded
euery
article
,
sauing
that
they
could
neuer
trust
one
another
by
reason
of
the
great
iniuries
secretly
passed
and
yet
certainly
knowne
.
Ferdinand
in
the
meane
time
with
all
diligence
bestirreth
himselfe
,
taketh
Nuceria
,
treateth
with
the
Venetians
,
who
accept
of
his
friendship
(
and
take
Pisa
into
protection
)
ioyneth
with
the
Marques
of
Mantua
,
and
fought
with
Mont
Pensier
,
and
his
Switchers
at
Nuceria
,
and
by
reason
of
the
slacknes
of
king
Charles
,
who
neither
kept
appointment
in
comming
himselfe
,
nor
sending
succours
,
preuayled
greatly
in
the
kingdome
of
Naples
.
But
alas
so
destinie
would
,
he
died
in
the
middest
of
his
hope
and
glorie
without
children
(
according
to
the
vision
)
being
the
first
king
of
that
Realme
,
within
three
yeeres
:
whom
his
vncle
Don
Fredericke
succeeded
.
Lodouike
seeing
the
French
kings
returne
into
Italy
begin
to
wax
cold
,
he
became
verie
iollie
,
and
thinking
to
serue
his
turne
with
the
king
of
Romanes
,
as
he
had
done
by
the
king
of
France
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
terrifie
the
great
estates
,
and
in
the
meane
time
to
gaine
the
smaller
,
he
perswaded
with
sixe
hundred
thousand
ducats
Maximilian
to
come
into
Italie
.
Maximilian
on
the
other
side
meant
as
subtilly
,
as
he
secretly
,
purposing
to
win
the
kingdome
of
Naples
for
Iohn
heire
to
the
king
of
Spaine
,
his
sonne
in
law
:
which
Lodouike
perceyuing
,
was
sore
astonished
,
and
yet
in
the
end
wan
him
to
Fredericke
.
The
Venetians
became
now
iealous
of
Maximilian
,
and
Lodouike
,
and
therefore
sent
Hannibal
Bentiuole
to
Pisa
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
they
being
troubled
by
Peter
of
Medices
,
and
otherwise
,
and
forsaken
in
their
need
by
the
Frenchmen
,
were
dealt
withall
by
Lodouike
,
to
submit
themselues
to
Maximilian
.
The
Pope
thinking
himselfe
now
to
haue
opportunitie
to
occupie
the
estates
of
the
Vrsins
,
the
chiefe
of
them
being
detained
at
Naples
,
declared
Virginio
,
and
the
rest
rebels
,
for
taking
solde
of
the
French
,
and
so
ioyning
with
the
Colonoys
,
assayled
them
on
all
sides
,
to
the
displeasure
of
the
Venetians
,
who
meant
to
gaine
that
familie
:
but
that
in
these
daungerous
times
,
opportunitie
serued
not
to
fall
out
with
the
Pope
.
Lodouike
albeit
that
he
professed
himselfe
altogether
to
the
Venetians
,
extolling
Iohn
Galeas
,
the
first
duke
of
Millaine
,
who
made
them
executors
of
his
testament
,
and
acknowledging
that
to
their
great
charge
thei
had
defended
his
estate
:
yet
his
teeth
so
watred
at
Pisa
,
which
they
had
gotten
,
that
he
caused
the
Pope
&
the
Emperor
to
perswade
,
that
it
was
necessarie
to
restore
Pisa
,
to
Florence
,
for
feare
of
giuing
cause
of
the
French
kings
returne
:
thinking
vpon
the
restitution
to
get
it
himselfe
:
but
the
Venetian
ambassador
impugned
it
with
greater
reasons
.
At
this
time
Aluiano
assisted
by
the
Guelphes
,
sacked
the
houses
of
the
Gibellins
,
and
slue
Liii
.
of
the
chiefe
in
the
Popes
territorie
,
who
nothing
helped
the
matter
:
but
see
the
plague
of
God
,
his
yonger
sonne
the
Cardinal
of
Valence
slue
his
elder
brother
duke
of
Candie
,
as
he
rode
alone
one
night
in
the
citie
of
Rome
,
for
that
he
thought
him
to
haue
greater
fauour
of
their
sister
Lucrece
than
himselfe
:
in
whom
as
it
is
thought
,
the
father
had
as
good
part
as
either
of
them
both
.
The
French
king
made
peace
with
Spain
&
the
Switchers
,
&
ment
to
return
into
Italy
:
but
pleasures
,
and
the
Cardinall
of
S.
Malo
detained
him
.
In
the
meane
time
he
dieth
,
and
Lewis
the
xii
.
duke
of
Orleans
succeedeth
.
At
the

by
the

put
to

to
conquer

Lodouike
Sforce
being
yet
more
iealous
of
the
Venetians
,
then
of
him
,
aydeth
the
Florentines
to
recouer
Pisa
:
the
Pope
on
the
other
side
secretly
bent
to
fauour
the
French
king
,
thinking
thereby
vnawares
of
the
rest
to
gaine
many
things
,
and
in
the
end
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
practising
in
the
meane
time
with
Fredericke
,
to
marry
his
daughter
to
his
sonne
the
Cardinall
of
Valence
,
wherein
Lodouike
also
played
a
part
,
shewing
him
what
a
strengthening
it
should
be
to
him
,
and
what
a
weakning
to
the
French
king
:
but
Fredericke
trusting
neither
of
both
,
vtterly
refused
,
which
bredde
much
trouble
and
practise
.
The
Florentines
offer
accord
to
the
Venetians
,
but
it
will
not
be
receyued
:
For
still
they
defend
Pisa
.
The
Cardinall
of
Valence
before
the
Pope
and
his
Cardinals
,
renounceth
his
Cardinals
hat
:
and
prepareth
to
go
into
France
,
where
he
was
from
Cardinal
of
Valence
made
duke
of
Valence
,
a
citie
in
Daulphinoys
by
the
French
king
,
for
that
the
Pope
had
promised
him
to
diuorce
the
French
Queene
for
sterilitie
,
which
he
performed
.
Hauing
this
new
souldier
,
the
king
made
peace
with
all
his
neighbours
,
and
bendeth
towards
Italie
,
and
requireth
Pisa
to
be
left
in
his
hands
.
The
Venetians
are
in
great
doubt
,
whether
they
may
ioyne
with
the
king
,
or
no.
Grimanni
and
Treuisan
make
excellent
orations
to
that
purpose
:
in
the
ende
they
ioyne
,
and
that
in
such
a
secrete
and
straight
league
,
as
Lodouike
could
not
sounde
in
a
great
while
after
:
but
when
hee
vnderstood
it
,
he
was
greatly
astonished
at
it
,
and
to
draw
the
Venetians
againe
from
the
French
,
he
practised
a
reconcilement
betwene
the
Florentines
&
them
.
In
the
end
neither
they
nor
the
Pope
,
nor
the
Swissers
,
nor
Maximilian
,
(
who
he
thought
would
neuer
haue
ioined
league
without
comprehending
him
)
would
succour
him
:
but
all
fayled
him
in
the
middest
of
his
comming
.
Then
hee
bent
himselfe
to
the
fortifying
of
his
owne
,
but
putting
such
gouernours
in
trust
,
as
had
more
fauour
then
vertue
(
a
common
fault
in
princes
)
he
lost
one
towne
after
another
,
and
was
driuen
to
forsake
Millaine
himselfe
,
and
to
fortifie
the
castell
:
but
the
Towne
within
yeelded
to
the
French
,
which
newes
being
brought
to
the
king
at
Lyons
,
himselfe
passed
the
mounts
in
person
,
and
came
to
Millaine
,
where
he
compounded
with
al
the
states
of
Italie
,
except
Fredericke
.
In
this
meane
space
the
newe
duke
Valentinois
,
who
troubled
Romagna
,
and
the
vicars
thereof
,
ioyned
with
the
French
.
And
Baiazet
Ottoman
assayled
such
places
as
the
Venetians
held
in
Greece
,
and
with
sixe
hundred
horse
pilled
the
countrey
of
Friuly
.
And
after
him
the
duke
Valentinoys
tooke
the
Countrey
,
and
a
most
valiant
ladie
of
the
place
prisoner
,
and
fearing
her
valew
,
sent
her
prisoner
to
Rome
.
The
French
king
after
the
taking
of
the
Duchie
of
Millaine
,
and
that
he
had
made
truce
with
the
king
of
Romanes
,
he
returned
into
France
,
leauing
sufficient
force
in
Italie
,
making
the
cardinal
of
Amboyse
his
lieutenant
,
and
Monsieur
Tremouille
,
Captaine
.
Lodouike
immediately
recouered
Como
,
and
the
Gibellins
thereupon
in
Millaine
reuolted
from
the
French
(
and
Trinulcio
and
the
Frenchmen
secretely
stole
away
)
hee
tooke
also
Vigenene
and
Nouaria
,
but
there
was
he
betraid
by
the
Swissers
:
&
yet
were
they
contented
that
he
and
his
brothers
Galeas
de
S.
Seuerin
la
fracase
,
&
Antonie
Maria
should
steale
away
in
the
habite
of
Swissers
:
but
they
were
all
discried
,
and
hee
caried
away
into
France
,
and
the
cardinal
Ascagnio
who
scaped
,
was
deliuered
to
the
king
by
the
Venetians
,
contrarie
to
the
olde
dignitie
of
that
state
.
Lodouike
was
brought
to
Lyons
,
whom
the
king
would
not
vouchsafe
to
fee
,
notwithstanding
his
late
greatnesse
and
excellent
wit
:
but
was
committed
there
to
close
prison
,
where
after
ten
yeares
hee
miserably
ended
his
life
.
The
Cardinall
Ascagnio
was
imprisoned
in
the
great
tower
at
Burdeaux
,
where
the
king
himselfe
that
sent
him
thither
,
was
himselfe
prisoner
two
yeares
.
The
fift
Booke
.
THis
conquest
of
Millaine
by
the
French
,
made
Maximilian
bethinke
himselfe
what
a
shame
it
was
to
him
to
leese
such
a
fee
of
the
Empire
,
and
to
suffer
Lodouike
thus
to
be
caried
away
,
who
had
put
himselfe
into
his
protection
,
whereuppon
hee
declared
himselfe
against
the
French
king
,
and
the
Venetians
,
perswading
the
electours
and
states
of
Germanie
in
time
to
resist
their
ambition
and
violence
.
The
French
king
proceedeth
further
to
succour
the
Florentines
against
Pisa
,
taketh
Bolognia
into
his
protection
,
and
putteth
garrison
into
Pietre
Sancte
:
but
findeth
such
euill
successe
in
his
forces
against
Pisa
,
that
he
greatly
stormeth
at
it
,
and
offereth
further
power
,
which
the
Florentines
in
dispaire
refuse
:
finally
,
though
he
were
angrie
with
the
Pope
,
in
that
he
fayled
him
at
Millaine
:
yet
by
the
working
of
the
duke
Valentinois
,
Caesar
Borgeas
,
he
now
accordeth
with
him
.
The
duke
in
the
meane
time
taketh
Pesara
and
Rimini
,
and
besiegeth
Fauentia
:
but
was
so
mightily
resisted
by
the
inhabitants
,
not
inured
to
warre
,
that
considering
his
forces
and
excellent
captaines
,
he
was
almost
mad
,
and
sware
the
next
spring
,
either
to
winne
,
or
to
die
.
The
French
king
by
meanes
of
the
Archduke
(
for
whose
young
sonne
Charles
being
then
but
three
yeres
old
,
he
offered
his
daughter
Claude
of
the
same
age
)
made
a
truce
with
Maximilian
,
who
most
dishonourably
made
no
mention
of
the
king
of
Naples
:
notwithstanding
that
he
had
receiued
fortie
thousand
ducats
,
and
a
bond
for
a
pension
to
that
end
.
The
French
king
thus
being
sure
of
the
Germains
,
and
making
no
doubt
to
obtaine
the
inuestiture
of
Millaine
,
by
the
helpe
of
the
Archduke
,
turned
all
his
thoughtes
vnto
Naples
,
and
fearing
least
the
kings
of
Spaine
should
oppose
themselues
,
and
that
the
Pope
and
the
Venetians
should
be
iealous
of
his
greatnesse
,
he
now
began
to
think
it
the
surest
way
to
deuide
it
with
Ferdinand
king
of
Spaine
,
who
also
pretended
a
certaine
right
to
it
:
so
that
the
one
not
to
be
hindered
in
the
whole
,
the
other
to
haue
part
of
that
hee
had
long
desired
,
they
resolued
at
one
time
to
set
vppon
it
.
The
French
king
hauing
Naples
,
Terra
de
lauaro
,
and
Abruzzo
,
the
Spanish
king
Puglia
,
and
Calabria
,
but
this
should
be
kept
secret
vntill
such
time
as
the
French
armie
were
come
to
Rome
.
The
duke
Valentinoys
besiegeth
againe
Fauentia
,
&
so
forceth
it
that
they
yeeld
vpon
condition
that
their
young
duke
Astor
,
a
faire
prince
of
xviii
.
yeres
,
might
inioy
his
libertie
and
reuenue
:
but
this
incarnate
deuill
sent
him
to
Rome
,
where
after
he
had
bene
abused
by
a
worse
deuill
then
himselfe
,
in
such
sort
as
may
not
be
expressed
,
he
and
a
bastard
brother
of
his
were
secretely
murthered
.
The
duke
passeth
on
and
plagueth
Florence
,
and
from
thence
to
Bolognia
:
but
there
the
French
king
commaundeth
him
to
stay
,
for
that
hee
had
taken
the
Bentiuols
&
that
state
into
his
protection
.
He
then
returneth
to
Florence
,
&
there
falleth
to
capitulation
,
after
surprising
certaine
places
of
the
lord
of
Plombin
,
he
returneth
to
Rome
,
and
ioyneth
with
the
French
king
.
Frederick
being
thus
assailed
by
these
two
mighty
kings
,
being
more
inwardly
angrie
with
the
king
of
Spaine
his
friend
,
then
with
the
French
king
his
enemie
capitulated
with
the
French
,
and
went
himselfe
into
France
,
where
he
had
the
dukedome
of
Aniow
,
and
thirtie
thousand
ducats
pension
.
At
the
same
time
Gonsaluo
for
the
Spanish
king
tooke
Calabria
,
and
Ferdinands
eldest
sonne
by
composition
:
and
contrarie
to
his
oath
sent
him
into
Spain
.
The
French
king
finding
his
prosperitie
to
be
enuied
of
the
Venetians
,
desired
to
keepe
league
with
Maximilian
,
and
to
warre
vpon
them
:
but
the
disagreeing
of
the
French
and
Spanish
captaines
in
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
(
for
that
the
borders
were
not
well
abutted
in
the
diuision
)
diuerted
the
French
king
to
the
Spanish
wars
:
where
finding
himselfe
the
stronger
,
he
protested
warre
against
Gonsaluo
,
if
forthwith
he
gaue
not
vp
his
Captainship
,
and
to
that
end
sent
two
thousand
Switzers
,
and
entertained
the
princes
of
Salern
,
and
Bisignan
.
The
duke
Valentinois
taketh
Vrbin
and
after
Camerin
,
and
repaireth
to
the
king
,
who
was
come
to
Vrbin
,
and
so
to
Ast
,
where
finding
great
grace
,
he
put
all
the
states
of
Italie
in
great
feare
,
insomuch
that
secretly
diuerse
of
them
were
driuen
to
confederate
agaynst
him
.
In
the
which
meane
space
Gindobaldo
duke
of
Vrbin
,
by
a
secrete
traine
of
the
inhabitants
recouered
his
estate
,
and
yet
within
a
while
after
is
driuen
to
flie
to
Venice
.
The
Pope
and
his
sonne
plagued
the
familie
of
the
Vrsins
,
the
Pope
poysoned
the
Cardinall
Vrsin
,
his
son
strangled
Paule
Vrsin
.
The
French
prosperity
began
now
to
decline
in
Naples
,
aswell
by
their
negligence
and
insolencie
,
as
by
the
warre
:
wherein
Monsieur
de
la
Palisse
,
and
diuerse
others
were
taken
prisoners
.
At
the
length
certaine
bragges
in
words
falling
out
on
both
sides
,
it
was
agreed
that
there
should
be
a
combat
of
thirteene
Italians
against
thirteene
Frenchmen
,
in
which
fight
Albemount
an
Italian
being
first
ouerthrowne
,
and
after
him
Miale
,
with
their
swordes
they
killed
the
horses
of
the
Frenchmen
,
and
so
tooke
them
all
prisoners
sauing
one
:
who
was
slaine
after
he
had
ouerthrowne
Albemount
.
After
this
the
Frenchmens
hearts
fayled
,
and
peace
grewe
to
bee
treated
:
which
not
withstanding
Gonsaluo
made
still
warre
,
taking
no
knowledge
thereof
,
and
tooke
prisoner
Monsieur
de
Aubigny
in
the
same
place
,
wherewith
in
fewe
yeares
before
,
he
discomfited
Gonsaluo
,
and
the
forces
of
Ferdinand
,
being
a
most
excellent
captain
,
after
that
at
Cirignole
he
gaue
the
French
an
other
ouerthrow
,
where
Monsieur
de
Nemours
was
slaine
:
finally
he
passed
through
Melfe
,
and
tooke
Naples
.
The
sixt
Booke
.
LEwis
the
French
king
hearing
of
the
losse
of
Naples
,
of
his
armies
and
captains
,
when
hee
least
thought
of
warre
:
complained
himselfe
highly
to
the
Archduke
,
thinking
that
whiles
he
treated
peace
with
his
father
in
law
the
king
of
Spaine
,
to
be
reuenged
:
the
king
&
Queene
of
Spaine
on
the
other
side
drewe
the
treatise
long
,
both
to
appoynt
themselues
,
and
to
disappoint
the
French
king
:
in
the
ende
being
sore
pressed
by
the
Archduke
,
they
beganne
to
quarrell
with
the
Archduke
himselfe
,
saying
that
hee
passed
both
his
instructions
and
commission
,
in
making
such
a
dishonourable
peace
as
they
neuer
meant
to
make
,
and
much
lesse
to
keepe
:
whereupon
the
French
king
prepareth
to
assaile
Naples
both
by
sea
and
land
.
But
in
the
meane
time
Gonsaluo
taketh
the
castell
of
Naples
,
and
besiegeth
Caiette
.
Euen
as
fortune
began
to
faile
the
Frenchmen
,
so
did
the
Pope
&
his
son
,
gathering
by
his
dealings
with
them
of
Bolognia
&
Tuscan
,
that
there
was
no
farther
good
to
be
done
by
him
.
And
therefore
being
required
to
declare
themselues
for
him
,
they
answered
in
dark
ambiguities
like
Apollos
oracles
,
for
the
father
neuer
did
as
he
said
,
nor
the
sonne
neuer
said
that
which
he
did
.
In
the
end
vpon
much
treatie
,
the
Pope
was
content
the
French
armie
should
passe
through
the
territories
of
the
Church
,
and
that
he
would
not
meddle
with
the
Florentines
,
Sienois
,
nor
Bolognians
,
during
the
warres
,
which
the
French
king
nothing
beleeued
,
if
fortune
frowned
.
But
see
the
end
of
this
Pope
,
as
he
went
to
suppe
in
a
certaine
Vineyard
neare
the
Vatican
,
with
Adrian
,
Cardinall
of
Cornetta
,
he
was
suddenly
brought
forth
dead
,
being
all
blacke
blowne
,
and
hideous
to
looke
on
:
his
sonne
also
was
brought
foorth
for
dead
,
who
hauing
brought
two
flagons
of
impoisoned
wine
,
to
poyson
the
poore
cardinal
,
by
gods
iudgement
poisoned
his
father
,
&
himselfe
,
&
yet
vsing
foorthwith
counterpoisons
,
knowing
the
baite
,
he
saued
his
life
:
but
lay
long
sicke
,
which
quayled
all
his
deuises
,
especially
in
choosing
the
Pope
,
which
was
Pius
3.
too
good
a
man
to
liue
long
in
that
place
:
so
that
he
dying
within
a
few
moneths
,
Iulius
the
seconde
was
chosen
.
In
the
meane
time
the
duke
Valentinois
is
coursed
by
the
Vrsins
,
driuen
to
reconcile
himselfe
to
the
Colonois
,
constrained
to
flie
into
the
castle
saint
Angelo
.
Cesena
and
other
places
reuolt
from
him
to
the
Church
againe
:
the
Venetians
are
also
in
hope
hereby
to
get
Romagna
,
and
soone
after
they
take
Fauentia
,
wherof
the
Pope
much
complaineth
.
And
in
the
meane
time
aresteth
the
duke
Valentinois
,
and
imprisoneth
him
in
the
Vatican
.
Thus
his
power
that
suddenly
grewe
great
by
crueltie
,
deceyt
,
and
the
Church
,
came
as
suddenly
to
nothing
againe
.
The
French
king
maketh
warres
toward
Spain
with
small
profit
,
whervpon
for
those
parts
a
truce
is
taken
,
&
all
the
bent
is
to
Naples
.
Aluiano
and
diuerse
Vrsins
ioyne
with
Gonsaluo
,
which
greatly
encourageth
him
.
The
Frenchmen
are
repulsed
at
Garillani
,
in
some
disorder
,
&
returne
to
Caiette
,
which
after
Gonsaluo
taketh
partly
by
force
,
partly
by
composition
,
and
after
is
called
by
no
other
name
,
but
the
great
captaine
.
At
this
time
was
there
a
peace
made
betweene
the
Venetians
,
and
Baiazet
Ottoman
,
who
vnlike
to
his
father
,
was
giuen
to
studie
and
learning
.
At
this
time
also
the
Portingales
did
make
their
maruaylous
nauigation
of
East
Indies
,
passing
the
equinoctiall
,
leasing
the
vse
of
the
Northwind
and
Loadsrone
,
bringing
great
spiceries
and
other
riches
:
but
the
nauigation
of
Spaniards
vnder
Christophoro
Colombo
a
Geneuois
,
was
farre
more
maruaylous
,
who
sayling
thirtie
dayes
westwarde
,
discouered
certaine
Isles
neuer
knowne
before
:
and
after
both
hee
and
Vespuccius
passing
further
,
found
firme
lande
,
and
diuerse
ciuill
nations
,
not
hauing
the
vse
of
armes
,
but
much
golde
and
siluer
.
&c.
The
duke
Valentinoys
about
this
time
escaped
out
of
prison
to
Naples
,
where
Gonsaluo
taketh
him
,
and
sendeth
him
captiue
into
Spaine
,
and
a
truce
is
taken
betweene
the
kings
of
Fraunce
and
Spaine
.
Fredericke
being
out
of
hope
of
recouering
his
kingdome
of
Naples
,
died
,
and
after
him
Queene
Elizabeth
of
Spaine
:
wherevpon
some
differences
were
like
to
arise
betweene
the
Archduke
and
the
Spanish
king
,
for
the
gouernement
of
Castilia
.
About
this
time
it
may
not
be
forgotten
,
that
Cardinall
Hippolite
of
Esca
,
being
in
loue
with
a
yong
damosel
his
kinswoman
(
who
made
more
account
of
his
bastard
brother
)
asked
her
what
was
the
cause
why
she
so
greatly
loued
a
bastard
,
and
she
answered
his
sweete
and
amiable
eyes
:
whereupon
one
day
as
he
rid
on
hunting
,
he
caused
his
brother
to
dismount
,
and
commaunded
his
footmen
in
his
presence
to
plucke
out
his
eyes
,
saying
he
liked
no
such
companions
in
loue
.
The
seuenth
Booke
.
PHillip
the
archduke
began
to
entitle
himselfe
king
of
Castile
,
not
being
content
that
his
father
in
law
should
gouerne
,
hauing
no
better
interest
then
the
appointment
of
his
wife
when
she
lay
in
extremitie
.
And
the
king
of
Romanes
being
hartned
with
the
greatnes
of
his
sonne
,
purposeth
to
enter
into
Italie
.
The
French
king
hauing
them
al
in
ielousy
(
though
he
were
verie
angry
with
the
Pope
,
for
vsurping
vpon
the
spiritual
liuings
in
Millaine
)
yet
least
he
should
stand
alone
,
he
treateth
with
the
Pope
,
making
quarrell
to
Venice
,
for
that
he
knew
it
a
thing
acceptable
to
him
.
Phillip
prepareth
by
sea
to
inuade
Spaine
,
and
is
by
storme
driuen
into
England
,
where
he
is
honorably
receiued
by
Henrie
the

,
and
newly
furnished
for
his
voyage
,
vpon
condition
that
he
should
deliuer
the
duke
of
Suffolke
whom
he
had
prisoner
in
the
castell
of
Namures
.
Phillip
yeeldeth
,
and
requireth
that
he
might
not
be
put
to
death
,
though
he
pretended
right
to
the
crowne
,
whereunto
king
Henry
the
seuenth
condiscended
,
but
Henrie
the
eight
afterwarde
strake
off
his
heade
.
Phillip
goeth
forward
,
and
by
capitulation
obtaineth
the
kingdome
of
Castile
,
but
dieth
within
a
while
after
.
The
French
king
is
desirous
to
bee
reuenged
vpon
Venice
:
but
first
marrieth
his
daughter
Madame
Claude
vnto
Francis
of
Angolesme
afterward
king
.
The
Emperour
treateth
with
the
Venetians
to
passe
through
their
territories
to
be
crowned
at
Rome
.
The
Pope
enterprised
the
recouerie
of
Bolognia
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Marques
of
Mantua
,
the
Bolognians
require
ayde
of
the
French
king
,
according
to
their
protection
:
but
in
fine
the
poore
Bentiuoles
in
stead
of
a
protection
had
a
faire
safe
conduct
of
Monsieur
Chaumont
,
for
which
they
payed
dearly
,
and
lost
the
state
to
the
Church
.
The
Geneuoys
rebell
against
the
French
king
,
and
fell
also
at

and

,
euery

desiring
to
bring
the

to

,
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
setteth
vpon
them
,
and
maketh
them
yeeld
the
towne
to
the
discretion
of
the
king
,
who
there
entered
in
person
,
and
pardoned
all
,
sauing
threescore
.
Ferdinand
king
of
Aragon
,
and
the
French
king
,
appoynted
a
meeting
at
Sauona
,
and
there
they
put
themselues
one
in
anothers
power
,
as
though
there
neuer
had
beene
enmitie
betweene
them
.
Where
supping
together
,
none
but
the
two
kings
and
the
Queene
,
the
French
king
would
needes
haue
Gonsaluo
make
the
fourth
,
being
in
admiration
of
his
fame
,
his
person
,
his
maiestie
in
gesture
and
speech
.
After
this
tyme
this
great
Captaine
had
neuer
great
occasion
to
exercise
his
vertue
.
The
ende
of
their
great
conference
was
,
that
they
two
and
the
Emperour
shoulde
ioyne
agaynst
the
Venetians
.
The
Emperour
on
the
other
side
held
a
decree
at
Constance
,
for
the
encountering
of
the
French
king
in
Italie
,
and
to
that
end
treated
with
the
Pope
,
professing
himselfe
a
protector
of
the
Church
,
and
an
enemie
of
the
French
vsurpation
in
Italie
,
who
meaned
(
quoth
he
)
to
make
the
Cardinall
of
Amboyse
Pope
,
and
himselfe
Emperour
.
This
troubled
the
king
,
who
was
sure
neither
of
the
Pope
,
nor
of
the
Venetians
:
and
the
Venetians
were
much
perplexed
,
whether
they
shoulde
ioyne
with
the
king
,
or
the
Emperour
:
to
which
poyntes
Foskarin
and
Gritti
made
excellent
orations
.
In
fine
they
answered
the
Ambassadour
of
the
Emperour
who
demaunded
passage
,
that
if
he
came
armed
,
he
shoulde
haue
no
passage
:
if
otherwise
they
shoulde
doe
him
all
honour
possible
.
He
marcheth
on
notwithstanding
,
and
gaineth
something
:
but
for
want
of
good
resolution
looseth
againe
.
The
eight
Booke
.
NOw
do
the
Emperour
and
the
Venetians
fall
to
treatise
of
league
,
which
maketh
all
Italie
more
afraid
then
euer
before
,
which
had
beene
alreadie
greatly
tormented
by
the
ambition
of
princes
:
and
specially
by
the
Venetians
,
who
made
their
profite
of
euery
peace
,
and
euery
warre
,
and
euen
in
this
league
with
Caesar
,
they
demeaned
themselues
so
cunningly
,
that
they
nowe
gaue
cause
both
to
the
Emperour
and
the
French
king
,
to
ioyne
together
against
them
,
whereupon
the
Pope
fayled
not
to
encourage
them
,
insomuch
that
for
the
Emperour
Madame
Marguiret
his
daughter
,
gouernesse
of
Flanders
,
for
the
French
king
,
the
Cardinall
of
Amboyse
,
and
for
Spaine
.
The
Ambassador
sware
this
league
at
Cambray
.
The
Venetians
mistrusting
false
measure
,
had
their
ambassadour
there
also
to
awaite
what
was
done
,
but
the
Cardinall
sware
so
many
othes
,
that
the
French
king
his
maister
woulde
keepe
his
league
with
Venice
,
and
that
his
meeting
was
to
make
peace
betweene
the
Archduke
,
and
the
duke
of
Guelders
,
that
hee
made
him
and
the
Venetians
verie
secure
.
This
league
was
helde
verie
secrete
,
but
the
Pope
taking
the
aduauntage
thereof
,
demaunded
of
them
Rimini
,
and
Fauentia
,
which
they
had
taken
from
the
Church
,
vttering
that
whereas
the
greatest
princes
in
Christendome
were
ioyned
agaynst
them
,
he
would
also
ioyne
,
if
they
denied
him
his
demaund
.
The
Senate
was
deepely
amazed
,
and
diuided
in
opinion
touching
the
restitution
,
and
in
fine
were
resolued
to
restore
,
had
not
Treuisan
,
a
man
of
high
estate
next
the
duke
,
most
earnestly
disswaded
them
,
which
they
repented
:
for
the
Pope
ratified
the
treatise
of
Cambray
,
and
so
all
Christendome
in
effect
armed
against
them
.
And
besides
that
they
had
these
euill
signes
and
presages
,
a
shippe
of
theirs
was
drowned
with
tenne
thousande
ducats
.
The
Castell
of
Bresse
was
striken
with
thunder
,
their
tower
of
records
suddenly
fell
downe
,
their
Arsenall
was
burnt
,
twelue
gallies
,
their
salt
peter
,
powder
,
and
munition
was
consumed
.
The
French
king
accompanied
with
the
duke
of
Loraine
and
nobilitie
of
Fraunce
passed
the
Alpes
,
and
sent
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
afore
to
set
vpon
them
.
The
Pope
published
a
bull
against
them
.
The
French
armie
ouerthroweth
their
battaile
at
Gniaradadde
,
taketh
prisoner
their
chiefe
Captaine
Bartholomeo
Aluiano
,
who
was
wounded
in
the
eye
,
as
for
the
other
Captaine
,
the
Countie
Petylian
,
he
stirred
not
,
nor
would
aduenture
all
vpon
one
day
,
the
which
if
hee
had
done
,
it
is
thought
hee
had
ouercome
:
and
yet
his
not
venturing
was
not
misliked
.
These
newes
astonished
almost
vnto
desperation
the
Venetians
:
and
yet
that
noble
and
graue
state
,
neyther
fell
to
dissention
among
themselues
,
nor
spake
so
much
as
a
worde
of
reproch
one
to
another
,
touching
their
counsayles
,
that
caused
this
successe
:
which
was
somuch
the
more
lamentable
,
for
that
all
the
Countreys
subiect
vnto
them
,
in
this
their
miserie
beganne
to
sorsake
them
,
in
short
,
they
thought
it
the
onely
way
to
trie
by
submission
and
intreatie
,
to
diuide
either
the
Pope
or
the
Emperour
from
the
French
king
,
of
whom
they
dispaired
.
The
Pope
gaue
small
comfort
,
and
the
Emperour
lesse
,
without
the
French
kings
consent
.
Thus
the
one
of
them
gained
on
the
one
side
,
and
the
other
on
the
other
side
,
and
the
Venetians
are
driuen
to
vtter
extremitie
:
now
the
states
of
Italy
,
and
especially
the
Pope
,
seeing
the
imminent
daungers
ouer
their
owne
heades
,
began
nowe
to
thinke
what
a
faire
threed
they
had
spoonne
,
if
the
fall
and
ruine
of
Venice
did
bring
into
Italie
two
such
mightie
princes
on
their
necks
:
wherefore
hee
giueth
audience
to
their
sixe
Ambassadours
that
most
heauily
and
wofully
demaunded
pardon
:
giuing
the
Ambassadours
of
the
confederates
to
vnderstand
,
that
the
Church
ought
not
to
shut
her
bosome
to
such
as
returne
.
Now
began
Treuisan
to
stand
to
them
,
and
shortly
after
they
recouer
Padua
from
the
Emperour
,
they
take
the
Marques
of
Mantua
prisoner
.
Shortly
after
the
French
king
making
a
league
defensiue
with
the
Pope
,
returneth
into
Fraunce
.
The
Emperour
bendeth
all
his
forces
to
recouer
Padua
:
the
Venetians
for
the
defence
thereof
,
send
all
the
yong
noble
and
gentlemens
sonnes
:
with
which
policie
the
people
tooke
such
comfort
,
that
beyond
expectation
they
so
defend
them selues
,
that
the
siege
is
raysed
,
and
the
Emperor
returneth
into
Allemaigne
,
with
little
profite
.
The
Cardinall
of
Amboyse
hoping
thereby
in
time
to
be
Pope
,
reconcileth
the
Emperour
and
the
catholike
king
,
wherein
he
did
his
maister
small
seruice
.
The
Countie
Petilian
dieth
:
the
Pope
absolueth
the
Venetians
.
The
ninth
Booke
.
The
Pope
not
onely
absolueth
the
Venetians
,
but
doth
as
it
were
take
them
into
protection
,
intending
to
reconcile
them
to
the
Emperour
,
and
to
set
him
against
the
French
king
,
and
finally
to
driue
the
Frenchmen
out
of
Italie
:
but
the
Emperour
woulde
not
heare
of
it
without
Verona
were
yeelded
vnto
him
,
whereuppon
the
Pope
practiseth
with
the
Swissers
by
the
meanes
of
the
Bishop
of
Sion
,
who
now
were
verie
proude
,
for
that
they
were
so
desired
of
all
nations
,
perswading
themselues
that
all
the
victories
of
king
Charles
and
king
Lewis
came
by
them
,
and
therefore
picked
quarrels
with
the
king
touching
their
pensions
.
The
Pope
in
like
sort
picked
quarrell
to
the
duke
of
Ferrara
for
his
dependancie
on
the
French
,
being
so
much
benefited
and
honoured
by
him
.
The
Emperour
&
the
French
king
on
the
other
side
smelling
his
drift
,
to
touch
as
well
the
interest
of
the
one
,
as
the
other
of
them
,
knitte
themselues
againe
fast
against
Venice
.
And
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
for
the
king
,
and
the
prince
of
Henault
for
the
Emperour
ioyning
together
,
draue
backe
the
Venetian
armie
,
and
approching
to
Vincentia
,
the
Vincentines
being
destitute
of
helpe
,
sent
an
Ambassadour
to
them
,
who
made
a
verie
pitifull
oration
,
the
which
the
prince
of
Henault
answered
with
great
vigor
like
a
barbarous
Dutchman
.
In
fine
they
yeelded
at
their
discretion
,
and
Monsieur
Chaumont
treated
for
them
,
telling
the
prince
of
Henault
that
hee
ought
to
haue
more
regard
to
the
greatnesse
and
glorie
of
Caesar
,
then
to
the
fault
of
the
poore
miserable
men
,
who
depended
on
others
,
greater
then
themselues
.
After
this
were
taken
Legnague
,
Montsilice
and
other
places
,
&
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
was
commanded
to
returne
to
Millain
,
for
certaine
broiles
there
kindled
closely
by
the
Pope
,
at
which
time
dieth
the
Cardinall
of
Amboyse
,
which
greatly
hindred
the
french
:
for
that
the
king
being
apter
to
be
directed
,
then
to
direct
,
neuer
had
the
like
confidence
in
any
man
.
After
his
death
,
the
Pope
flatly
requireth
the
king
to
giue
ouer
his
protection
of
Ferrara
,
the
king
answereth
that
he
cannot
do
it
with
his
honor
,
and
so
stomacke
groweth
betweene
them
.
The
Pope
in
the
meane
time
eggeth
on
the
Swissers
,
who
being
angry
that
the
king
would
not
increase
their
pensions
,
were
ready
enough
and
discended
toward
Millain
.
The
Venetians
in
the
mean
time
,
while
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
was
there
occupied
,
recouered
most
part
of
their
towns
,
&
besieged
Verona
:
the
marques
of
Mantua
scaped
out
of
prison
at
Venice
by
the
secrete
meanes
of
Baiazet
the
great
Turke
,
who
had
before
shewed
many
friendly
parts
to
the
Marques
.
The
Pope
purposeth
to
set
vpon
Geane
,
and
many
other
things
that
tooke
no
effect
:
the
king
on
the
other
side
,
to
anger
him
,
meaneth
to
defende
the
duke
of
Ferrara
,
and
still
to
continue
friendship
with
the
Emperour
,
so
that
the
Pope
was
driuen
to
leaue
his
thoughts
of
getting
other
mens
,
and
to
thinke
vpon
defending
his
owne
:
for
within
a
while
after
he
was
besieged
by
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
in
Bolognia
:
but
after
a
while
he
was
content
vpon
great
occasions
to
leaue
the
siege
,
which
done
,
the
Pope
complained
himselfe
to
all
princes
Christian
of
the
French
king
.
The
Pope
ceaseth
not
thus
,
but
falleth
to
warres
still
,
besiegeth
Mirandola
,
is
there
present
in
person
,
no
lesse
busie
in
bodie
then
in
minde
,
riding
and
going
to
and
fro
like
a
captaine
,
and
in
the
end
winneth
it
:
wherat
the
French
king
is
so
angrie
,
that
he
sendeth
instructions
to
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
,
not
onely
to
defend
Ferrara
:
but
also
by
all
meanes
to
plague
the
territories
of
the
Church
:
the
Pope
in
the
meane
time
is
content
that
Modena
should
be
yeelded
to
the
Emperiall
,
for
feare
it
should
fal
into
the
hands
of
the
French
.
And
the
noble
captaine
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
dieth
,
and
Trinulce
is
made
a
Marshall
of
Fraunce
,
and
Caesar
contrarie
to
his
treatise
with
the
French
king
,
is
content
to
hearken
to
peace
.
After
the
death
of
Monsieur
de
Chaumont
,
Gaston
de
Foix
,
a
valiant
yong
Gentleman
,
and
the
kings
sisters
sonne
began
to
haue
charge
.
The
Pope
partly
to
gaine
the
fauor
of
princes
,
partly
to
be
the
stronger
in
the
councell
that
was
threatned
,
made
eight
Cardinals
at
a
clap
,
and
among
the
rest
,
the
Archbishop
of
Yorke
,
thereby
to
gaine
the
king
of
England
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Sion
,
by
him
to
gaine
the
Swissers
.
Now
began
a
generall
peace
to
be
treated
at
Venice
by
the
Bishop
of
Gurce
:
but
the
Pope
brake
it
off
,
wherupon
the
French
king
commanded
Trinulcio
to
march
on
,
who
tooke
Concordia
,
and
after
Castelfranco
and
drew
towards
Bolognia
,
they
falling
in
great
feare
,
the
cardinall
of
Pauia
runneth
away
.
The
Bentiuoles
return
,
the
popes
army
flieth
,
the
Pope
fretteth
,
the
Cardinal
of
Pauia
draweth
toward
Rauenna
to
the
Pope
,
and
the
duke
of
Vrbin
hating
him
deadly
,
by
the
way
drew
his
dagger
,
and
in
the
middest
of
his
gard
slue
him
.
After
this
the
Emperour
and
the
French
king
do
publish
a
councell
to
be
holden
at
Pisa
:
the
lucke
whereof
the
Pope
liked
not
,
for
that
Popes
had
bene
there
deposed
at
councels
holden
in
former
times
.
The
tenth
Booke
.
ALl
Christendome
,
and
especially
al
Italie
stood
at
the
gaze
,
to
see
what
the
French
king
would
do
after
these
victories
:
for
now
it
lay
in
his
power
(
as
it
seemed
)
to
take
Rome
,
and
all
the
states
of
the
Church
:
but
he
mooued
either
with
deuotion
or
feare
to
bring
all
princes
in
his
necke
,
commaunded
Trinulcio
to
leaue
Bolognia
to
the
Bentiuoles
,
and
to
restore
the
rest
to
the
Church
,
and
so
to
retire
to
Millaine
.
The
Pope
nowe
to
breake
the
necke
of
the
Pisan
Councell
,
summoned
by
the
Emperour
and
the
French
king
,
spake
his
Cardinals
fayre
,
for
that
fiue
of
them
had
giuen
consent
to
Pisa
,
and
winning
backe
some
of
them
by
fayre
promises
,
published
an
vniuersall
Councell
to
bee
holden
at
Rome
,
and
beganne
to
encline
to
a
peace
with
the
French
king
:
but
the
Emperour
dealt
with
the
French
king
on
the
other
side
,
to
helpe
him
agaynst
the
Pope
,
and
the
Venetians
:
but
what
for
his
pouertie
and
inconstancie
,
the
French
king
had
no
great
deuotion
therunto
:
the
emperor
notwithstanding
aduentureth
,
and
is
foyled
with
his
French
succors
by
the
Venetians
:
and
yet
after
he
taketh
Friuly
,
and
within
short
space
looseth
it
againe
.
The
pope
being
newly
recouered
of
a
deadly
sicknesse
,
beginneth
to
thinke
againe
of
the
chasing
the
French
out
of
Italie
:
the
French
king
on
the
other
side
begins
to
be
wearie
of
fighting
agaynst
the
Church
:
the
Pope
leagueth
himselfe
with
the
Venetians
,
and
the
Catholique
king
,
to
deliuer
Italy
of
straungers
,
as
he
pretended
.
The
time
of
the
Councell
of
Pisa
drawing
on
,
and
many
French
Cardinals
and
captaines
being
there
,
by
chance
there
fell
out
such
a
fray
among
the
souldiours
and
seruants
,
in
parting
whereof
,
Monsieur
de
Chastillian
,
and
Monsieur
de
Lautrech
were
wounded
,
that
the
Councell
was
adiourned
to
Millaine
,
where
they
found
more
difficulties
:
for
all
the
Cleargie
abstained
from
diuine
seruice
,
as
though
profane
and
execrable
persons
,
and
not
Cardinals
had
entred
.
This
made
the
French
king
suspect
the
Emperour
,
and
crie
out
of
the
Catholique
king
,
who
did
all
contrarie
to
the
league
at
Cambray
:
and
therefore
meaning
to
deale
as
falsely
as
the
best
,
he
now
resolued
to
set
vpon
Romagna
,
but
in
great
doubt
of
the
Swissers
,
who
sent
defiance
by
a
trumpetter
vnto
Gaston
de
Foix
his
lieutenant
in
Millaine
,
the
king
sendeth
great
ayde
out
of
Fraunce
,
and
demaundeth
helpe
of
Florence
,
which
is
not
answered
to
his
expectation
,
by
reason
of
diuersitie
of
opinions
.
And
that
which
was
worse
,
knoweth
they
had
herein
displeased
the
king
,
they
sent
Guicchiardine
the
writer
of
this
historie
Ambassadour
to
the
king
of
Arragon
,
who
shortly
after
ioyned
with
the
Pope
agaynst
Bolognia
,
but
Monsieur
de
Foix
came
with
succours
,
and
caused
the
armie
to
retire
,
and
after
that
he
wanne
Brescia
from
the
Venetians
,
and
sacked
it
.
In
the
midst
of
this
good
lucke
,
the
French
king
suddenly
was
appalled
:
for
that
he
heard
that
the
king
of
England
ment
to
warre
vpon
him
,
receyuing
some
ships
out
of
Spaine
to
that
purpose
.
Neuerthelesse
Monsieur
de
Foix
goeth
on
valiantly
to
Rauenna
,
to
fight
with
the
confederates
where
was
fought
the
longest
and
noblest
battell
of
all
others
,
the
Spaniards
and
Italians
striuing
against
the
Frenchmen
and
Almaines
for
the
glory
of
their
nation
.
And
albeit
in
opinion
the
French
seemed
to
haue
the
better
:
yet
monsieur
de
Foix
not
abiding
that
the
Spanish
footmen
should
retire
in
good
order
,
set
on
them
in
great
furie
,
and
was
slaine
in
the
height
of
his
glorie
.
Peter
of
Nauarre
taken
prisoner
,
Monsieur
de
Viuarets
slaine
before
the
eyes
of
his
father
,
Monsieur
Allegre
,
and
the
father
not
long
after
the
sonne
.
The
armie
notwithstanding
entereth
and
sacketh
Rauenna
:
the
Pope
is
afrayde
of
the
newes
,
his
Cardinals
perswade
him
to
peace
,
but
the
king
of
Aragon
to
continue
,
the
warres
.
Iulio
de
Medici
a
knight
of
the
Rhodes
,
afterwarde
Pope
,
recomforteth
him
also
in
such
sort
,
that
he
resolueth
rather
to
forsake
Rome
,
then
to
make
peace
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
for
that
monsieur
de
la
Palissie
was
departed
out
of
Romagna
.
The
Swissers
in
the
meane

,
and
Bergamo
,
and
approching
to
Millaine
,
Triuulcio
hauing
no
hope
to

it
for
want
of

,
secretly
stole

and
almost
all

,
returne
to

before
him

THe
duke
of
Ferrara
finding
himselfe
nowe
euery
way
so
weake
and
hard
beset
(
vpon
assurance
of
safe
conduct
by
the
means
of
the
ambassadour
of
Arragon
,
and
Fabricio
Colonna
)
came
to
Rome
,
and
humbled
himselfe
to
the
Pope
,
as
to
remaine
Fendatarie
of
the
Church
,
the
Pope
would
haue
the
dukedome
it selfe
,
or
nothing
:
the
conditions
being
so
hard
,
the
duke
craued
pardon
,
and
the
benefite
of
his
safe
conduct
to
returne
home
:
the
Pope
denied
,
and
forged
other
by
matters
to
retaine
him
prisoner
:
but
the
Arragon
Ambassadour
,
and
Fabricio
,
for
that
it
stood
them
vpon
in
honor
,
came
suddenly
well
accompanied
the
next
morning
to
the
gate
of
Latran
,
and
deliuered
him
in
despite
of
the
Popes
garde
.
The
French
king
was
driuen
to
let
the
Swissers
for
a
time
take
their
pleasure
of
Millaine
:
for
that
he
was
aduertised
that
the
king
of
Englande
according
to
a
treatise
before
holden
,
had
sent
six
thousand
footmen
to
Fowntaraby
,
ioyntly
there
to
assayle
the
duchie
of
Gwien
,
and
to
ioyne
with
the
Emperour
,
he
had
no
hope
,
for
that
the
Bishop
of
Marseilles
his
Ambassadour
assured
him
it
was
in
vaine
.
After
this
quayling
of
the
French
affaires
,
the
Pope
,
the
Emperour
,
the
king
of
Arragon
,
the
Venetians
and
Swissers
,
though
they
were
confedered
,
had
euerie
one
their
die
vpon
Millaine
,
but
the
Pope
and
the
Swissers
fearing
the
great
princes
,
dealt
earnestly
that
it
might
be
allotted
to
Mazimilian
the
yong
sonne
of
Lodouike
Sforce
to
bring
it
from
the
French
.
The

.

Venetians
.
The
Bishop
of
Gurce
at
Rome
,
treateth
for
a
common
peace
.
The
feare
of
the
Englishmen
at
Fowntaraby
,
and
the
negligence
of
the
French
king
in
not
succouring
,
caused
the
king
of
Nauarre
,
to
forsake
Nauarre
and
flie
to
Bearn
,
among
the
mount
Pyrenes
,
&
without
any
charge
or
trauaile
gat
the
kingdome
of
Nauarre
to
the
king
of
Aragon
,
except
certaine
fortresses
:
the
King
of
Aragon
for
want
of
title
,
pretending
that
the
right
thereof
was
giuen
him
by
the
Pope
,
when
he
cursed
the
French
King
and
his
adherents
.
But
the
French
King
endeuoureth
to
reconcile
himselfe
both
to
the
King
of
England
and
the
Swissers
:
at
the
least
he
hopeth
to
winne
the
Venetians
from
the
league
,
and
so
with
newe
forces
to
recouer
Millaine
.
A
better
hope
then
all
this
was
,
that
Pope
Iulius
the
second
nowe
died
in
the
middest
of
his
prosperitie
,
and
Iean
Cardinall
de
Medici
was
chosen
,
named
Leo
the
tenth
:
by
which
good
accident
he
did
the
easilier
make
peace
with
the
Catholique
King
,
and
prepared
for
his
purpose
:
for
albeit
he
could
not
well
compasse
a
peace
with
the
King
of
Englande
:
yet
for
that
the
English
were
not
well
prouided
of
readie
horsed
,
although
their
value
chiefly
consisted
in
footemen
(
yet
nowe
by
long
peace
and
lacke
of
vse
being
driuen
to
hyre
Almaines
)
hee
thought
manie
things
might
be
done
before
that
warre
came
forwarde
:
wherefore
he
sent
power
to
Triuulcio
,
who
ioyning
with
Aluiano
,
Captaine
of
his
newe
confederates
the
Venetians
,
he
setteth
vpon
the
duchie
of
Millaine
,
and
recouereth
Geane
:
and
after
besiegeth
Nouara
,
where
being
resisted
by
the
Swissers
,
they
retired
seuen
miles
of
:
but
the
Swissers
to
the
ende
that
no
succours
or
Nation
might
take
the
glorie
from
them
,
like
most
valiaunt
souldiours
hauing
neither
horsemen
nor
artillarie
,
followed
Triuulcio
,
and
Monsieur
de
la
Tremouille
,
and
fought
a
most
braue
battaile
with
them
,
gayned
their
artillarie
,
slue
their
men
with
it
,
and
put
their
gendarmerie
to
flight
,
who
beastlie
demeaned
themselues
that
day
:
notwithstanding
it
may
not
bee
forgotten
,
that
Robert
de
la
March
hauing
his
two
sonnes
most
daungerously
beset
with
Swissers
,
rushed
like
a
Tiger
into
the
midst
of
them
,
and
fought
so
terribly
,
that
he
amazed
them
,
and
deliuered
his
sons
.
Aluiano
perceiuing
the
discomfiture
of
the
French
,
retired
to
Verona
and
besieged
it
,
but
preuayled
not
.
Padua
is
besieged
by
the
Viceroy
,
and
the
yong
duke
of
Millaine
taketh
Pontuica
,
by
the
helpe
of
Antonie
de
Leua
:
and
the
Viceroy
finding
that
he
could
not
take
Padua
,
spoyleth
the
Countrey
euen
almost
vnto
Venice
,
&
within
two
miles
of

Prosper
Celonna
,

gaue
a
great
ouerthrow
to
the
Venetians
,
and
Aluiano
by
the
cowardise
of
their
footmen
of
Romaigna
.
At
the
length
Caesar
and
the
Venetians
compromitted
their
differences
to
the
Pope
:
and
the
French
king
had
now
nothing
left
in
Italie
but
the
Lanterne
of
Geane
,
which
also
was
battered
by
sea
,
and
defended
with
sacks
of
wooll
.
The

Booke
.
THe
king
of
England
was
nowe
readie
both
by
sea
and
lande
to
war
vpon
the
French
king
,
&
had
also
hyred
the
Emperor
Maximilian
with
sixe
score
thousand
ducats
to
enter
al
at
one
time
into
Burgundy
,
hoping
also
that
his
father
in
law
the
Catholique
king
woulde
ioyne
with
him
.
The
French
king
bestirred
him
to
resist
these
great
daungers
,
and
some
what
to
appall
the
courage
of
the
English
king
,
he
allured
into
Fraunce
the
duke
of
Suffolke
as
a
competitor
of
the
crowne
,
but
he
being
nothing
dismaied
therewith
,
in
despite
strake
off
the
dukes
brothers
head
,
whom
he
held
before
in
prison
by
the
king
of
Castiles
means
,
as
you
haue
heard
.
The
French
king
farther
to
trouble
him
,
set
Iames
King
of
Scots
the
old
enemie
of
England
&
confederate
of
France
to
warre
on
that
side
the
seas
vppon
him
.
The
English
King
was
long
in
preparing
his
subiects
being
out
of
vse
,
the
maner
of
fight
being
chaunged
,
the
vse
of
their
bowes
being
almost
gone
.
Neuerthelesse
in
Iuly
being
greatly
furnished
,
his
armie
camped
neare
Bullen
,
and
from
thence
besieged
Terwin
:
where
at
the
first
they
answered
not
the
renowne
of
their
hardinesse
,
in
that
they
gaue
no
hardie
assault
:
but
within
a
while
after
,
they
ouerthrew
three
hundred
men
of
armes
.
The
Marques
of
Rotelin
,
called
duke
of
Longuile
,
Captaine
Bayard
,
&
Fayette
were
taken
prisoners
,
and
monsieur
de
la
Palisse
escaped
hardly
,
wherewith
the
French
king
and
all
France
were
so
amazed
,
that
if
the
English
King
had
followed
this
good
fortune
,
it
is
thought
the
gappe
was
nowe
open
to
take
all
Fraunce
.
Terwin
was
raysed
by
the
aduise
of
the
Emperour
,
for
that
the
Archduke
Charles
pretended
right
vnto
it
,
and
the
Emperour
departed
the
campe
for
that
hee
thought
the
Englishmen
to
be
rash
,
and
without
discipline
.
King
Henrie
neuerthelesse
passed
towards
Tornay
,
and
tooke
it
,
whereof
the
French
were
full
glad
,
fearing
his
comming
farther
into
Fraunce
with
his
terrible
armie
of
fourescore
thousand
,
which
perhaps
hee
had
done
,
if
he
had
had
experience
,
or
had
beene
truly
aduertised
of
the
disposition
of
France
:
but
he
returned
into
England
,
assuring
the
French
that
he
would
returne
the
next
sommer
.
At
this
time
by
chaunce
of
fire
,
the
richest
part
of
all
Venice
was
burnt
,
and
the
Pope
endeth
the
differences
betweene
Caesar
and
them
.
The
league
was
renued
betweene
the
Spanish
king
and
the
French
king
,
which
greatly
displeased
the
king
of
England
,
who
sayde
that
this
was
the
third
time
that
his
father
in
lawe
had
broken
promise
with
him
.
The
French
king
practised
with
the
Pope
,
and
the
Pope
with
the
Cardinal
of
Yorke
to
reconcile
the
French
and
English
King
,
which
tooke
place
,
and
the
French
king
marieth
the
lady
Mary
,
the
king
of
Englands
sister
.
This
was
vnpleasant
both
to
the
Emperour
and
the
Spanish
King
,
and
not
pleasant
to
the
Pope
who
was
the
procurer
of
it
,
who
albeit
he
loued
with
such
cunning
to
gaine
princes
:
yet
he
liked
not
that
this
league
shoulde
helpe
the
French
King
againe
to
Millaine
.
At
this
time
King
Emanuel
of
Portingale
presented
the
Pope
with
two
monstrous
Elephants
out
of
India
,
and
Lewis

dieth
,
and
Francis
the
first
duke
of
Angolesme
succeedeth
,
taking
the
title
of
the
duke
of
Millaine
,
&
making
peace
with
the
King
of
England
and
the
Archduke
:
he
meaneth
to
recouer
the
dukedome
.
The
Emperor
,
the
King
of
Aragon
,
the
duke
of
Millaine
,
the
Swissers
doe
league
against
him
:
the
King
of
England
sendeth
him
word
to
Lyons
,
not
to
passe
into
Italie
to
trouble
Christendome
:
the
Swissers
gard
the
foote
&
straights
of
the
Alpes
against
him
.
But
he
like
an
industrious
prince
,
by
the
counsaile
of
Triuulcio
,
leaueth
the
two
ordinarie
wayes
of
Mountsenis
,
&
Mount
Genewre
,
and
passeth
by
extreame
toyle
of
Pioners
nearer
the
sea
by
the
Cortian
Alpes
,
by
the
Marquisate
of
Saluzzo
:
and
being
passed
before
any
man
thought
of
him
,
Monsieur
de
la
Palisse
tooke
Colonna
a
noble
Captaine
prisoner
at
Villefrance
as
he
sat
at
dinner
,
which
greatly
astonished
all
Italie
,
insomuch
that
the
Pope
vsed
the
duke
of
Sauoy
,
to
excuse
him
to
the
King
forthwith
.
The
King
taketh
the
Countreys
of
Alexandria
and
Tortona
.
The
Swissers
are
in
diuersitie
of
opinions
,
whether
they
shall
hearken
to
any
league
with
the
French
,
or
farther
withstand
them
.
At
length
the
Bishop
of
Sion
with
a
very
perswasiue
oration
encouraged
them
to
ioyne
in
one
opinion
agaynst
the
French
,
and
to
fight
with
them
neare
vnto
Marignian
,
where
the
first
day
both
they
and
the
King
fought
so
long
,
as
they
could
holde
weapon
in
hand
,
and
departed
on
both
sides
,
as
it
were
by
agreement
without
sounde
of
trumpet
.
The
next
day
they
rashly
and
furiously
set
on
the
French
,
who
kept
them selues
in
good
order
,
and
caused
Aluiano
with
his
light
horsemen
to
set
on
their
backes
,
which
greatly
annoyed
them
.
They
fought
notwithstanding
most
valiantly
:
but
yet
dispairing
of
victorie
,
for
that
the
Venetian
armie
approched
,
they
sounded
the
retraite
:
and
albeit
the
artillarie
beate
them
on
the
backes
,
yet
did
they
keepe
their
array
towards
Millaine
,
to
the
wonder
of
the
French
,
and
all
that
looked
on
:
especially
the
King
,
who
often
escaped
death
and
daunger
,
and
Triuulcio
,
who
sayde
they
were
Giantes
and
not
men
,
for
that
he
neuer
sawe
the
like
battell
.
After
this
victorie
all
the
duchie
of
Millaine
returned
to
the
King
,
except
the
Castels
of
Cremona
and
Millaine
,
and
the
duke
and
the
King
fall
to
composition
,
and
Aluiano
dieth
,
and
the
Pope
and
the
King
in
louing
sort
talke
together
at
Bolognia
,
and
there
renuing
a
league
with
the
Swissers
,
he
returned
into
Fraunce
.
Ferdinand
king
of
Aragon
,
and
king
of
Castile
,
in
the
right
of
his
wife
,
the
winner
of
Granado
,
conquerour
of
Naples
and
Nauarre
,
died
without
heire
male
,
and
the
great
Captaine
Gonsaluo
died
one
moneth
before
,
absent
from
the
Court
,
in
disgrace
and
malcontent
.
The
death
of
the
king
made
the
French
king
in
hope
to
get
Naples
,
thinking
that
the
young
Archduke
Charles
shoulde
bee
too
much
busied
to
keepe
al
his
estates
,
but
he
was
distourned
from
that
thought
by
the
comming
of
the
Emperour
into
Lombardie
agaynst
him
and
the
Venetians
,
who
summoned
Millaine
,
but
was
faine
to
recule
,
for
that
by
delay
he
lost
all
oportunitie
.
The
Venetians
recouer
Brescia
,
the
Pope
maketh
his
nephew
Laurence
de
Medici
duke
of
Vrbin
.
The
King
of
France
and
Spaine
make
a
peace
at
Noyan
.
The
Venetians
recouer
Verona
.
The
xiii

Booke
.
BEsides
the
peace
of
Noyon
,
the
Kings
of
Spaine
and
Fraunce
,
and
the
Emperor
treat
a
peace
at
Cambray
,
and
now
great
quietnesse
was
hoped
in
all
Italie
,
sauing
that
Francesco
Maria
de
la
Rouere
being
folowed
of
many
Spaniards
,
went
about
to
recouer
such
his
states
as
the
Pope
had
taken
from
him
,
as
Vrbin
Fane
,
and
others
:
driuing
the
Pope
to
complaine
to
the
French
and
Spanish
Kings
,
&
enter
league
with
the
French
,
for
ayd
agaynst
all
subiects
and
fendataries
of
the
Church
.
The
chiefe
Captaines
of
the
Spaniards
,
that
folowed
Francesco
Maria
,
namely
Maldonat
,
and
Swares
,
conspired
after
certaine
victories
to
betray
Francesco
Maria
,
and
to
deliuer
him
vp
aliue
to
his
enemie
Laurence
de
Medices
,
which
treason
Francesco
Maria
discouering
,
made
such
an
excellent
oration
to
the
Spaniards
,
that
they
iudged
their
owne
Captaines
worthie
to
passe
the
pikes
,
and
so
with
their
owne
hands
slue
them
.
At
this
time
Alfonso
Cardinall
of
Siena
,
being
the
Popes
creature
,
most
vngratefully
notwithstanding
conspired
against
him
:
and
the
Cardinals
of
Cornette
,
and
Volaterra
,
confessed
on
their
knees
that
he
had
imparted
it
to
them
.
Alfonso
the
night
following
was
secretly
strangled
in
prison
.
The
Pope
finding
himselfe
no
more
gracious
among
his
colledge
of
Cardinals
,
created
thirtie
new
Cardinals
at
a
clappe
,
some
for
learning
,
some
for
friendship
,
and
some
for
money
,
which
nowe
went
low
with
him
:
and
after
a
few
conflicts
with
the
duke
of
Vrbin
at
Ancona
and
Anguiare
,
he
falleth
to
composition
by
meanes
of
Don
Hugues
de
Moncada
the
Viceroy
,
to
his
great
charge
,
which
the
poore
Florentines
were
driuen
to
defray
.
Italy
now
being
at
quiet
,
the
Pope
began
to
treat
with
Christen
princes
against
Selim
the
Turke
:
who
seeing
his
father
Baiazat
to
be
olde
,
partly
by
Ianissaries
,
and
partly
by
poyson
dispatched
his
elder
brother
Achomat
,
and
after
his
yonger
brother
Corcut
,
and
all
their
race
,
&
as
the
world
supposed
,
had
a
meaning
to
do
the
like
to
his
own
son
,
the
better
to
strengthen
his
owne
dominion
for
his
time
,
which
by
his
desperat
hardnes
was
growne
great
,
hauing
ouerthrowne
the
mountains
Aduliens
,
&
the
Sophy
of
Persia
,
winning
from
him
his
chiefe
citie
Taurus
:
and
then
turned
his
warres
vpon
the
Sowdan
of
Soria
and
Egypt
,
a
most
mightie
prince
of
country
,
&
by
reason
of
the
warlike
discipline
of
the
Mamelukes
,
&
yet
neuer
ouerthrown
but
by
this
Selim
,
who
highly
disdaining
that
his
victories
should
not
be
aboue
Caesar
,
&
Alexander
,
nowe
ment
to
bend
toward
Christendom
,
and
first
against
Rhodes
,
&
Hungary
,
being
verie
weake
,
for
that
the
king
was
a
child
,
&
as
some
thought
toward
Italy
,
but
this
consult
tooke
so
small
effect
,
that
if
God
had
not
soone
after
taken
away
Selim
,
who
left
Soliman
very
yong
:
all
christendome
no
doubt
had
smarted
for
this
vngodly
negligence
.
Now
was
peace
awhile
on
euery
side
,
and
the
French
&
the
English
so
farre
leagued
togither
,
that
the
only
daughter
of
Henrie
is
promised
vpon
condition
to
the
Dolphin
of
France
.
This
peace
which
is
an
enemie
to
great
warriers
,
maketh
Triuulcio
now
in
his
olde
age
to
be
in
iealousie
with
the
French
king
for
the
Gwelphian
faction
,
Monsieur
de
Lautreck
and
other
pursue
him
throughly
,
the
king
denieth
him
his
countenance
:
&
he
dieth
for
sorrow
in
disgrace
,
according
as
most
great
captaines
do
.
The
emperor
Maximilian
being
now
aged
,
treated
with
the
electors
&
Pope
,
to
choose
the
king
of
Romans
,
Charles
of
Austrich
,
king
of
Spain
:
the
French
king
thinking
him
to
be
too
great
alredie
,
treated
earnestly
to
the
contrarie
,
&
Maximilian
dieth
before
any
thing
is
done
,
so
that
the
French
and
Spanish
kings
are
nowe
most
earnest
competitours
and
countersutours
for
it
.
The
French
King
spareth
neither
speach
,
Ambassadors
,
perswasions
,
nor
mony
,
and
is
abused
with
hope
by
some
of
the
electours
:
but
in
fine
Charles
of
Austrich
is
chosen
,
the
which
killeth
the
heart
of
the
French
king
and
his
adherents
in
Italy
,
and
now
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
the
restitution
of
Nauarre
vnto
Iohn
,
and
the
money
accorded
at
Nayon
,
begin
for
despite
to
come
in
question
,
and
into
demaund
.
At
this
time
the
Pope
abusing
all
the
world
with
his
indulgences
,
and
by
the
Bishop
of
Arembald
making
a
terrible
exaction
in
diuerse
parts
of
Germanie
,
to
the
vse
of
his
sister
Magdalen
,
gaue
occasion
to
Martin
Luther
to
preach
against
him
,
and
to
renue
the
doctrine
of
Iohn
Hus
,
and
Ierome
of
Prage
.
The
which
was
verie
welcom
to
the
wounded
mindes
of
all
such
as
had
felt
the
Popes
abuses
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
as
that
the
Pope
tooke
no
good
course
to
resist
it
:
but
perseuered
still
in
his
enormities
.
This
yeare
did
Charles
the
Empeperor
ariue
in
England
,
not
as
his
father
Phillip
did
by
necessitie
,
but
of
friendship
,
and
so
passed
into
Flanders
,
and
to
Aix
,
and
there
was
crowned
:
in
the
meane
time
some
broiles
arose
in
Spaine
,
which
were
appeased
by
his
officers
.
The
xiiii
.
Booke
.
ITalie
had
at
this
time
a
little
repose
,
but
it
could
not
long
continue
,
by
reason
of
the
emulation
of
these
two
great
princes
,
Charles
and
Frauncis
,
who
could
not
endure
the
greatnesse
the
one
of
the
other
,
and
especially
for
that
pope
Leo
was
horne
madde
to
want
Parma
and
Placentia
,
gotten
by
his
predecessor
pope
Iuly
,
and
to
see
that
Ferrara
should
so
long
holde
out
against
him
,
maugre
his
head
:
in
respect
whereof
he
treated
amitie
with
the
French
King
,
and
hyred
sixe
thousand
Swissers
,
and
in
secret
they
concluded
to
diuide
the
kingdome
of
Naples
.
In
the
meane
time
the
French
king
taking
the
oportunitie
of
sturres
in
Spaine
,
sent
Monsieur
Asperrot
with
a
power
,
&
easily
without
resistance
recouered
the
kingdom
of
Nauarre
.
And
the
Swissers
refusing
the
amitie
of
Caesar
,
ioyned
with
the
French
.
The
Pope
notwithstanding
his
league
,
contracted
with
the
French
king
,
ioineth
also
in
league
with
the
Emperor
to
defend
Florence
&
the
Medici
,
&
to
recouer
Millaine
to
Sforce
,
and
Parma
and
Placentia
to
the
Church
.
At
that
very
instant
on
S.
Peters
day
at
Millaine
,
there
fell
fire
out
of
the
ayre
,
which
tooke
certaine
barrels
of
powder
,
which
ouerthrew
a
fayre
Marble
tower
,
and
so
shooke
the
castell
and
city
of
Millaine
,
as
a
greater
portent
neuer
chaunced
vnto
them
.
The
Pope
had
in
solde
the
Marques
of
Mantua
,
and
Prospero
Colonna
,
and
the
king
sent
Monsieur
Lautreck
to
defend
Millaine
by
the
helpe
of
the
Venetians
,
whose
Captaines
were
Theodore
Triuulcio
,
&
Andrew
Gritti
:
who
after
they
had
skirmished
to
and
fro
with
the
other
side
,
about
the
riuer
of
Paw
:
in
the
ende
the
Swissers
hired
by
the
Pope
,
sayd
that
they
were
content
to
defend
the
states
of
the
Church
,
for
which
cause
they
were
purposely
hyred
:
but
agaynst
the
French
King
they
would
not
march
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Swissers
that
were
with
the
French
king
departed
without
any
bidding
farewell
,
or
any
worde
speaking
.
The
popes
army
&
the
Emperors
marcheth
on
towards
Millaine
:
and
at
the
first
assault
,
the
Marques
of
Pescara
Captain
of
the
Spaniards
maketh
the
Venetians
to
forsake
the
walles
,
and
Triuulcio
is
taken
and
al
Millaine
,
&
al
Pauia
and
Lody
,
&
diuerse
other
places
yeeld
,
crying
out
vpon
the
French
,
and
reioycing
to
become
imperiall
.
Now
died
pope
Leo
the
tenth
(
which
no
doubt
much
weakned
the
Emperor
,
for
that
his
money
beganne
and
entertayned
the
warre
)
in
whose
place
was
chosen
Adrian
the
sixt
a
Flemming
,
by
the
fauour
of
Caesar
agaynst
all
their
minds
,
for
that
they
thought
a
stranger
of
that
Countrie
and
education
,
not
verie
fit
for
Italie
.
The
duke
of
Vrbin
recouereth
his
estate
,
and
with
the
helpe
of
Baillous
asiegeth
Siena
.
And
ten
thousand
Swissers
of
Lucerne
contrarie
to
the
minds
of
Surick
&
Suith
,
come
ouer
the
mount
Godard
and
Bernard
into
Lombardie
,
to
helpe
the
French
king
to
recouer
Millaine
:
Prospero
Colonna
is
as
busie
on
the
other
side
to
defend
it
,
and
Antonio
de
Leua
to
defend
Pauia
.
Monsieur
de
Lautreck
besiegeth
it
,
which
he
hopeth
in
time
to
get
by
famine
:
but
their
industrie
within
deceyueth
his
hope
.
Wherupon
Lautreck
retireth
towards
Fraunce
,
and
three
thousand
of
his
Swissers
were
slain
at
Bicoque
by
the
emperiall
armie
.
Lody
also
and
Gene
were
taken
by
them
.
At
Lucques
at
this
time
Poggio
,
and
Totty
,

THe
French
King
being
euerie
where
at
peace
,
his
returne
into
Italy
is
suspected
,
and
therfore
Florence
,
Geane
,
Siena
,
and
Luca
,
are
taxed
with
great
summes
for
the
maintenance
of
a
continuall
armie
to
defend
Naples
and
Millaine
,
and
Don
Charles
de
Lanoy
is
made
Viceroy
of
Naples
.
The
Pope
taketh
his
iourney
towards
Rome
,
and
Charles
the
Emperour
into
Spaine
,
and
talketh
with
king
Henrie
of
England
by
the
way
,
&
they
two
ioyntly
sent
Ambassadours
to
Venice
,
to
perswade
them
to
leaue
the
amitie
of
the
French
king
,
and
to
ioine
with
the
Emperour
.
The
king
of
England
moreouer
sent
an
Herault
to
the
French
king
,
to
protest
warre
against
him
,
in
case
he
would
not
make
truce
with
the
Emperour
for
three
yeares
,
the
which
woulde
not
be
granted
:
but
the
league
betweene
the
Emperour
and
the
Venetians
succeded
,
and
touching
the
same
,
two
excellent
orations
were
made
by
Andrew
Gritti
,
and
George
Cornare
.
While
christian
princes
were
thus
vndermining
and
vexing
one
another
,
Soliman
Ottoman
the
Turke
in
person
with
infinite
power
besieged
the
Rhodes
:
the
which
though
it
were
to
the
vttermost
defended
by
the
grand
maister
and
the
knights
thereof
,
yet
by
the
negligence
of
the
pope
&
christian
princes
,
they
were
faine
to
yeeld
,
and
on
Christmasse
day
the
Turke
in
triumph
entered
,
and
dedicated
all
the
Churches
to
Mahomet
.
The
French
kings
armie
being
now
passing
the
Alpes
,
and
himselfe
readie
in
person
to
follow
,
he
discouered
that
the
discontented
duke
of
Burbon
,
Constable
of
Fraunce
,
was
conspired
with
the
Emperor
&
the
King
of
England
,
and
should
marrie
with
Elenor
the
emperours
sister
,
widow
of
Emanuel
late
king
of
Portingale
,
and
that
assoone
as
he
was
ouer
the
Alpes
,
the
duke
of
Burbon
,
and
the
King
of
England
should
set
vpon
Fraunce
,
and
the
duke
should
be
King
of
Prouence
,
and
the
King
of
England
should
haue
the
rest
.
These
newes
,
though
they
appalled
and
stayed
the
Kings
person
,
yet
did
it
breake
the
attempt
,
and
caused
the
duke
to
flie
in
a
straunge
weede
,
first
into
la
Franche
Conte
,
and
after
to
Millaine
.
In
the
meane
time
,
Pope
Adrian
dieth
,
and
the
Cardinal
de
Medices
is
chosen
,
calling
himselfe
Clement
the
seuenth
.
The
French
armie
being
now
passed
the
Alpes
,
Monsieur
de
Boniuet
a
French
Captain
taketh
Loda
,
the
rest
of
the
French
power
being
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Admirall
before
Millaine
,
were
not
in
great
hope
to
take
it
,
but
making
diuerse
skirmishes
,
still
came
by
the
worst
.
And
shortly
after
retyred
from
thence
,
in
which
meane
space
the
noble
Captain
Prospero
Colonna
died
.
The
Pope
refused
to
be
of
either
side
,
whereof
the
French
King
is
glad
,
&
the
Emperour
verie
angrie
:
for
that
he
helped
him
to
that
dignitie
.
The
Emperials
passe
the
riuer
of
Thesin
,
and
foyle
the
French
in
diuers
places
,
insomuch
that
they
begin
to
abandon
the
duchie
of
Millaine
,
but
in
warlike
aray
.
The
Marques
of
Pescara
followeth
with
light
horses
,
and
Chabanes
is
slain
,
and
captaine
Bayard
is
taken
prisoner
,
who
died
of
his
wounds
:
and
the
Admirall
returneth
into
Fraunce
.
After
which
time
the
duke
of
Burbon
counsailed
the
Emperour
to
turne
the
warres
into
Fraunce
,
alledging
that
the
desire
the
English
king
had
to
conquer
that
realme
,
would
much
helpe
him
.
The
King
of
England
also
much
encouraged
the
Emperour
thereunto
:
but
seeing
the
difficulties
and
charge
for
himselfe
,
and
being
disswaded
by
the
ambitious
cardinall
of
Yorke
(
who
was
secretly
French
)
he
moued
little
.
The
Emperor
vpon
this
confidence
maketh
warre
in
Prouance
:
the
duke
of
Burbon
and
Marques
Pescara
being
Captaines
.
The
duke
would
haue
passed
on
into
the
bowels
of
France
:
but
the
Marques
&
other
captaines
would
by
no
meanes
from
the
seas
,
but
lay
in
siege
before
Marsiles
fortie
daies
without
profite
.
And
for
that
before
their
comming
they
hoped
that
the
king
of
England
would
so
haue
fired
the
French
king
on
his
side
,
that
all
his
forces
should
haue
bent
that
way
,
&
that
they
should
haue
receiued
money
out
of
Englande
,
(
which
both
they
failed
of
)
they
thought
it
folly
to
go
any
farther
,
or
to
abide
til
the
king
with
his
whole
power
,
and
six
thousand
Swissers
should
come
vpon
them
,
and
therefore
with
speede
returned
into
Italy
:
wherewith
the
king
being
in
heart
,
followed
as
fast
,
&
al
in
one
day
the
king
came
to
Verceil
,
and
the
Marques
of
Pescara
:
albeit
forthwith
it
was
agreed
by
the
Viceroy
,
and
the
rest
,
that
Antonio
de
Leua
,
should
defend
Pauia
,
and
the
other
Millaine
,
which
was
sore
infected
with
the
plague
,
that
they
durst
scarcely
furnish
it
,
insomuch
that
the
maine
armie
of
Fraunce
being
at
hand
,
ere
they
could
well
prouide
,
the
captaine
Alarcon
was
faine
to
leaue
it
:
and
the
King
tooke
it
,
vsing
al
clemencie
,
notwithstanding
he
knewe
the
French
to
be
there
hated
.
From
thence
he
besiegeth
Pauia
,
but
could
not
take
it
:
and
sendeth
Stuart
duke
of
Albany
in
Scotlant
with
a
power
to
Naples
.
The
pope
perswadeth
them
to
peace
.
The
duke
of
Ferrara
being
come
into
the
French
kings
protection
,
helpeth
him
against
Pauia
,
but
it
is
succored
by
the
Emperials
.
The
pope
&
the
French
captaines
perswade
the
king
to
desist
,
but
he
sayth
he
will
either
win
or
die
.
At
the
length
on
S.
Mathias
day
,
on
which
the
Emperor
was
borne
,
the
Viceroy
and
the
Marques
of
Pescara
in
well
ordered
battell
ioyned
with
the
King
,
who
fought
nobly
,
being
hurt
in
the
face
,
and
in
the
hand
,
vntill
his
horse
was
slain
vnder
him
,
and
after
was
taken
by
fiue
common
souldiours
,
that
knew
him
not
,
but
in
the
end
he
discouered
himselfe
to
the
Viceroy
,
who
receyued
him
as
prisoner
to
the
Emperour
.

much

as

abrest
might
come

issued
out

and
set
on

spoiling
and
putting

,
sauing

,
the

of
Sauoy
,

,
and

Nobles

ALl
the
Potentates
of
Italie
were
nowe
greatly
dismaied
with
this
taking
of
the
king
prisoner
,
fearing
the
greatnes
of
the
Emperour
,
sepecially
the
Pope
:
and
next
him
the
Venetians
,
who
treated
a
league
with
the
Pope
,
offering
to
ioyne
in
these
common
dangers
,
&
to
leuy
ten
thousand
Swissers
,
and
a
sufficient
band
of
Italians
,
not
doubting
the
forwardnesse
of
my
Ladie
Regent
of
France
,
to
send
the
duke
of
Albany
with
sufficient
succors
,
and
making
sure
account
of
the
duke
of
Ferrara
.
The
viceroy
on
the
other
side
was
carefull
to
conuey
the
kings
person
into
some
place
of
suretie
,
&
to
make
all
sure
,
to
ioyne
in
amitie
with
the
pope
.
The
Pope
bit
at
the
baite
immediatly
&
was
full
glad
,
and
treated
to
bring
in
the
Venetians
also
,
but
that
would
hardly
be
:
for
that
they
would
not
drop
so
much
money
as
the
Viceroy
demaunded
.
The
Pope
sendeth
the
Bishop
of
Pistoia
to
visite
&
comfort
the
French
king
.
The
Emperour
being
in
Spaine
receyueth
the
newes
of
this
victorie
,
&
his
confessour
the
Bishop
of
Oisme
maketh
an
eloquent
oration
,
perswading
him
franckly
and
freely
to
deliuer
the
French
king
,
and
that
to
be
the
most
profitable
,
honourable
,
and
sure
way
:
Fredericke
duke
of
Alba
spake
to
the
contrarie
with
great
vehemencie
,
saying
,
that
to
let
him
go
were
dangerous
,
and
to
let
him
go
most
honorably
,
were
nothing
to
the
Frenchmen
,
who
were
insolent
and
light
,
and
made
no
regard
of
honour
:
and
therefore
to
make
profite
of
him
were
the
best
way
.
In
fine
,
the
Emperour
sent
vnto
him
his
great
chamberlaine
Monsieur
de
Beaucain
to
Pisqueton
to
comfort
him
,
&
to
tell
him
that
these
were
his
conditions
:
hee
should
depart
with
the
soueraigntie
of
the
dukedome
of
Burgundie
to
him
:
he
should
depart
with
Prouance
to
the
duke
of
Burbon
,
with
many
other
great
things
,
both
for
him
,
and
for
the
king
of
England
.
The
French
king
answered
constantly
,
that
he
would
die
in
prison
before
he
would
diminish
the
crowne
of
Fraunce
,
for
all
other
things
,
he
would
satisfie
the
Emperour
with
reason
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Ladie
Regent
of
Fraunce
employed
all
meanes
possible
,
and
especially
the
Cardinall
of
Yorke
,
to
winne
the
king
of
England
,
where
all
the
feare
was
.
The
Emperour
on
the
other
side
sollicited
the
King
of
Englande
to
ioyne
with
him
to
conquer
Fraunce
:
but
the
King
demaunded
the
whole
kingdome
in
effect
,
if
it
were
conquered
,
&
some
other
such
conditions
,
as
gaue
them
cause
to
breake
off
.
The
Imperials
become
insolent
in
Italie
,
the
French
king
is
conueyed
into
Spaine
,
&
imprisoned
at
Madril
,
&
the
duke
of
Burbon
is
sent
for
(
without
whom
the
Emperor
will
make
no
agreement
)
and
being
placed
in
the
house
of
a
great
barron
at
the
Emperors
request
,
he
answered
that
he
would
obey
,
for
that
he
and
all
was
at
his
commaundement
.
But
so
soone
as
the
duke
were
gone
,
he
would
set
it
on
fire
with
his
owne
hands
,
least
it
should
smell
of
the
infection
of
a
traitor
.
There
is
now
a
conspiracie
against
the
Emperour
in
Italy
,
wherein
the
Marques
of
Pescara
plaid
a
part
at
the
first
,
and
after
accused
the
rest
dishonourably
,
and
shortly
after
died
.
In
the
meane
time
the
French
king
falleth
extreamly
sicke
at
Madril
,
insomuch
that
the
Emperor
in
person
would
haue
visited
him
,
but
his
Chauncelor
would
not
suffer
him
.
Within
a
while
after
the
Emperour
espouseth
the
infant
of
Portingale
:
the
French
king
recouereth
health
,
the
Pope
treateth
for
his
deliuerance
,
touching
the
which
the
great
Chancellor
and
the
Viceroy
make
two
excellent
orations
.
After
this
shortly
ensueth
the
treatise
of
Madril
for
the
kings
deliueraunce
,
wherin
was
yeelded
Burgundie
,
Charelois
,
and
so
many
other
Countreys
,
as
they
that
heard
it
,
did
thinke
it
would
neuer
be
kept
:
for
assurance
hereof
the
king
was
affianced
to
the
Emperours
sister
Elconor
:
and
the
Dolphin
of
Fraunce
and
the
duke
of
Orleans
,
were
brought
in
a
boat
to
the
midst
of
the
riuer
that
deuideth
Spaine
&
Fraunce
,
and
the
king
in
another
boate
,
and
at
one
instant
they
chaunged
boates
,
and
the
king
hasted
to
land
,
and
had
a
Turkish
horse
readie
,
with
whom
he
rid
in
post
to
Bayon
,
and
there
met
with
a
messenger
from
the
king
of
England
,
which
greatly
comforted
him
,
vnto
whom
he
confessed
,
that
he
acknowledged
the
greatest
cause
of
his
deliuery
to
proceed
from
him
,
and
therfore
he
was
for
euer
the
English
kings
.

ALthough
both
the
Emperour
and
the
King
,
had
sworne
to
the
conditions
set
downe
betweene
them
for
his
deliuerie
,
and
that
the
king
farther
sware
to
ratifie
them
,
so
soone
as
he
came
into
a
place
of
libertie
,
Neuerthelesse
as
soone
as
hee
came
to
Bayon
,
he
answered
the
messenger
that
attended
the
ratification
,
that
he
durst
not
performe
such
things
as
were
preiudiciall
to
the
crowne
of
France
,
vntill
he
had
wonne
the
minds
of
his
subiects
vnto
it
.
After
that
hee
highly
complained
himselfe
to
all
princes
and
estates
of
the
Emperours
seueritie
,
as
well
touching
the
hard
conditions
,
as
that
hee
would
not
once
vouchsafe
to
see
him
during
his
imprisonment
:
that
his
ambition
grewe
so
great
,
that
he
now
meant
to
ruine
the
Pope
,
the
Church
,
all
Italy
,
and
to
bring
all
Christian
princes
into
subiection
.
With
these
perswasions
he
hoped
to
bring
al
Italy
and
other
princes
to
ioyne
with
him
,
and
consequently
to
bring
the
Emperour
to
such
daungerous
warre
,
as
he
should
of
necessitie
be
driuen
to
release
Burgundie
,
and
other
hard
conditions
for
money
.
The
Emperiall
armie
on
the
other
side
waxing
euery
day
in
Italy
more
and
more
insolent
,
&
being
extreamely
chargeable
to
the
Millanois
,
and
Antonio
de
Leua
himselfe
,
hauing
euerie
day
thirtie
ducats
,
the
people
in
tumultuous
sort
tooke
weapon
in
hand
,
and
had
driuen
away
both
captaines
and
souldiours
,
had
not
the
cunning
of
the
captaine
,
and
their
owne
disorder
compounded
the
matter
.
The
Emperour
sent
the
Viceroy
of
Naples
into
Fraunce
,
to
accept
the
perfourmance
of
the
conditions
:
where
he
was
greatly
welcomed
,
but
nothing
was
performed
.
The
Emperour
was
neare
madde
for
anger
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
as
that
almost
against
all
mens
opinion
,
and
contrarie
to
the
intelligence
of
the
Ladie
Margueret
Regent
of
Flaunders
,
he
would
needs
insert
the
article
of
Burgundie
,
which
they
assured
him
would
neuer
be
performed
:
but
happily
breed
further
broyle
.
In
the
meane
time
at
Coignac
there
is
treated
a
league
betweene
the
pope
,
the
French
King
,
the
Venetians
,
and
the
duke
of
Millaine
,
to
be
forthwith
intimated
to
the
Emperor
,
who
had
libertie
to
enter
into
it
within
three
moneths
:
so
that
he
deliuered
the
French
kings
children
at
a
reasonable
ransome
to
be
rated
by
the
King
of
Englande
.
After
this
treatie
the
Pope
surpriseth
the
letters
of
Antonio
de
Leua
,
touching
the
hard
estate
of
the
duke
of
Millaine
,
and
the
duke
of
Vrbin
,
generall
of
the
Venetians
armie
,
taketh
Loda
,
and
so
passeth
to
Millaine
:
where
after
long
batterie
,
they
were
faine
to
retire
with
some
altercation
betwene
the
duke
and
the
lieutenant
.
The
Spaniards
in
the
meane
time
so
plagued
the
Millanois
,
that
one
of
them
made
a
very
lamentable
oration
to
the
duke
of
Burbon
(
who
was
there
ariued
)
and
yet
finding
no
remedie
,
but
a
curteous
answere
:
some
hanged
themselues
,
some
threw
themselues
out
at
their
windowes
,
and
ended
their
miseries
with
other
deaths
.
The
armie
of
the
confederates
once
againe
approcheth
towards
Millaine
,
but
not
onely
doth
any
good
,
but
also
the
Castell
it selfe
by
the
duke
is
vpon
conference
with
the
duke
of
Burbon
,
yeelded
to
the
Imperials
.
While
christen
princes
were
thus
tearing
out
the
bowels
one
of
another
,
Soliman
Ottoman
Turke
,
entreth
into
Hungarie
,
and
putteth
the
whole
Countrey
,
and
consequently
all
Christendome
in
daunger
,
ouerthrowing
Lewis
the
young
King
,
and
getteth
a
great
part
of
that
buckler
of
Christendome
.
The
Pope
,
notwithstanding
encourageth
his
confederates
to
set
vppon
Naples
,
and
Peter
of
Nauarre
is
made
generall
:
and
all
the
confederates
offer
the
Emperour
to
enter
into
the
league
,
perfourming
the
conditions
:
he
answered
,
he
could
not
with
his
honour
,
being
a
league
made
against
him
especially
,
and
yet
for
a
common
quietnesse
,
he
would
do
it
presently
,
if
the
messengers
had
sufficient
commission
:
meaning
in
deed
nothing
lesse
,
but
onely
to
keepe
the
king
of
England
from
entering
into
it
.
Rome
is
surprised
by
the
Colonois
,
and
the
Pope
driuen
to
leaue
the
Emperour
,
and
to
deale
with
them
:
and
the
confederates
by
sea
fight
with
the
Emperials
.
The
xviii
.
Booke
.
THe
French
King
and
the
Venetians
had
the
Pope
in
great
iealousie
,
that
hee
woulde
forsake
their
league
,
in
that
he
made
manie
treatises
with
the
Viceroy
:
and
euer
cried
out
of
the
charges
of
the
warre
,
and
yet
would
not
make
money
by
creating
of
Cardinals
,
nor
otherwayes
,
as
other
Popes
did
:
but
to
break
the
treatise
(
if
there
were
any
such
)
they
vrged
him
,
and
bent
themselues
with
him
by
sea
against
Naples
.
The
popes
Lieutenant
was
Monsieur
Vaudemont
,
who
pretended
right
thereto
by
ancient
title
of
king
Rene
:
where
after
certaine
exploites
of
no
great
waight
,
the
Pope
seeing
no
greater
successe
,
and
that
the
duke
of
Burbon
by
the
perswasion
of
the
duke
of
Ferrara
,
drew
towards
Rome
,
and
that
the
French
promises
were
but
winde
,
he
fell
to
agree
a
truce
for
eight
moneths
with
the
Viceroy
.
The
duke
of
Burbon
neuerthelesse
would
not
accept
of
it
,
but
marched
on
.
The
Viceroy
himselfe
in
person
went
from
Rome
,
to
make
him
surcease
,
but
all
in
vaine
:
for
the
dukes
case
being
now
somewhat
desperate
,
he
draweth
to
Rome
,
and
either
meaneth
to
get
that
noble
bootie
or
to
die
:
and
therefore
most
valiantly
giueth
the
assault
himselfe
before
all
men
,
and
was
slaine
with
a
harquebuze
.
His
death
enflameth
the
souldiours
,
and
especially
the
Lanceknights
,
who
before
were
verie
cold
:
insomuch
that
within
fewe
houres
they
take
the
towne
and
sacke
it
,
where
they
had
infinite
treasure
.
The
palaces
of
the
Cardinals
were
rifled
,
and
the
Cardinal
of
Siena
,
who
himselfe
&
all
his
ancestors
were
Imperiall
,
was
yet
driuen
to
compound
with
the
Spaniards
:
&
yet
after
(
as
in
all
such
broyles
no
man
is
sure
)
he
was
taken
prisoner
by
the
Launceknights
,
and
caried
bareheaded
with
many
buffets
to
Borgo
,
where
he
paied
a
newe
raunsome
of
fiue
thousand
ducats
.
In
like
maner
were
vsed
all
the
Spanish
and
Dutch
prelats
:
notwithstanding
the
hope
of
their
Countrey-mens
fauour
.
The
Pope
driuen
to
keepe
himselfe
in
the
castell
,
vntill
the
plague
wearied
his
enemies
,
and
composition
made
with
the
Imperials
.
The
Emperour
being
certified
of
the
Popes
distresse
,
and
that
the
plague
was
entred
into
his
castell
of
S.
Angelo
,
made
outward
shew
of
dislike
,
but
inwardly
was
very
glad
,
and
indeed
he
had
caused
him
to
be
caried
into
Spain
,
had
it
not
beene
for
feare
of
the
king
of
England
:
as
for
the
French
king
,
he
cared
not
if
the
Pope
had
bene
hanged
,
and
all
Italie
fiered
,
so
that
he
had
againe
his
children
.
The
Cardinal
of
Yorke
is
now
sent
into
France
,
to
make
a
league
with
the
French
king
more
sure
,
and
to
offer
the
mariage
of
the
Lady
Marie
either
to
the
king
,
if
he
went
not
on
with
the
emperours
sister
,
or
otherwise
to
the
duke
of
Orleans
.
And
for
that
the
Cardinal
was
honourably
accompanied
with
xii
.
hundred
horses
,
&
had
three
C.
thousand
crownes
to
lend
the
king
towards
his
warres
with
the
Emperour
.
The
Cardinall
of
Loraine
was
first
sent
to
receiue
him
,
and
after
the
king
himself
receiued
him
at
Amiens
.
In
fine
,
the
king
and
he
sent
Gambare
to
the
Pope
,
to
make
the
Cardinall
of
Yorke
his
Vicar
generall
in
Fraunce
,
England
and
Germanie
,
during
his
imprisonment
:
but
secretly
the
French
king
withstood
it
by
all
meanes
possible
.
In
this
meane
space
,
the
French
armie
vnder
the
conduct
of
Monsieur
de
Lautreck
take
Bosco
,
and
Genes
by
composition
,
after
the
Countrey
of
Alexandria
,
and
then
Pauia
,
where
the
souldiours
sacked
and
pilled
,
and
vsed
crueltie
eight
dayes
in
memorie
of
the
battell
of
Pauia
,
where
the
king
was
taken
.
The
duke
of
Ferrara
entereth
into
the
league
with
him
,
in
respect
wherof
,
Madame
Rence
,
daughter
of
king
Lewis
the
xii
.
is
promised
to
his
sonne
Hercules
,
and
after
the
Marques
of
Mantua
entred
into
the
same
league
.
The
treatise
of
peace
seemed
vaine
betweene
the
Emperour
and
the
king
:
for
the
Emperor
sayd
he
could
not
trust
the
king
that
had
once
deceiued
him
.
The
Kings
ambassadors
replied
,
that
for
asmuch
as
he
tooke
himselfe
to
be
deceyued
,
the
King
might
the
lesse
trust
him
.
In
the
ende
the
ambassadours
of
Fraunce
and
England
denounced
war
agaynst
him
:
and
many
hot
speeches
breeding
hot
choler
,
the
Emperor
chalenging
the
combat
of
the
French
king
said
,
he
was
a
false
forsworn
king
.
The
French
king
on
the
other
side
gaue
him
the
lie
.
The
king
of
England
embraceth
the
religion
of
Luther
,
and
by
the
perswasion
of
the
Cardinall
of
Yorke
,
deuorceth
his
wife
Katherin
of
Arragon
.
Monsieur
de
Lautrech
entreth
the
kingdome
of
Naples
,
and
Andro
Dore
being
at
the
sould
of
the
king
with
his
gallies
,
returneth
to
Geane
,
diuerse
places
yeeld
vnto
Lautreck
,
and
by
him
Naples
it selfe
is
besieged
.
The

.
MOnsieur
de
Lautreck
finding
the
value
of
the
defendants
of
Naples
,
to
be
great
,
purposed
to
continue
the
siege
,
hoping
that
though
vertue
fayled
not
,
yet
want
of
money
and
victuall
would
make
vertue
yeeld
to
necessitie
.
In
the
meane
time
Phillippin
Dore
with
his
gallies
and
Geneuois
,
who
were
not
able
sea-men
,
did
sinke
diuerse
shippes

the

,
&
Ascagnio
Colonna
,
the
prince
of
Salerne
,
and
diues
others
.
This
conquest
of
the
sea
would
not
make
Naples
yeeld
,
for
Phillippin
Dore
tooke
such
direction
of
Andro
Dore
to
retire
to
Pozzouolo
,
that
Naples
was
oft
vittailed
,
&
the
Venetian
fleet
,
after
they
had
gotten
Ottranto
staied
in
hope
to
win
the
castell
of
Brundusium
,
so
that
the
defendants
were
encouraged
,
and
the
assailants
for
lacke
of
water
and
other
necessaries
fainted
,
and
in
the
meane
time
Antonio
de
Leua
perceyuing
that
Pauia
was
negligentlie
kept
,
assaulted
it
by
night
,
and
tooke
it
,
and
had
the
Captains
prisoners
before
the
souldiers
were
awares
.
The
Pope
continued
his
newtrality
betweene
the
two
princes
,
and
so
was
neither
trusted
of
the
French
king
,
nor
of
the
Emperour
,
who
the
more
suspected
him
,
for
that
he
had
sent
Cardinall
Campeius
into
England
to
diuorce
his
kinswoman
Queene
Katherin
,
daughter
of
Aragon

Now

that

Monsieur

he
remained

and
diuerse

Now
beginneth
the
Pope
to
treate
a
peace
at
Barcelone
with
the
Emperour
,
greatly
to
the
Popes
aduauntage
,
both
for
that
he
should
forget
iniuries
past
,
&
be
no
hinderance
to
the
Emperour
,
who
ment
personally
to
make
a
voyage
into
Italy
.
The
like
was
treated
betweene
the
French
King
and
the
Emperour
at
Cambray
,
a
place
destinied
to
such
great
treatises
,
being
there
present
the
two
ladie
Regents
,
for
the
two
princes
,
the
Ambassadours
of
the
confederates
,
and
the
duke
of
Suffolke
,
and
the
Bishop
of
London
for
the
King
of
England
.
The
French
King
being
somewhat
ashamed
of
this
act
,
for
certaine
dayes
kept
himselfe
close
,
and
would
not
be
seene
of
the
ambassadours
of
his
confederates
:
in
the
ende
he
gaue
them
sweet
wordes
,
comforts
,
and
promises
,
excusing
himselfe
,
that
otherwise
hee
could
not
haue
his
children
.
The
Emperour
after
this
,
commandeth
the
prince
of
Orange
to
assaile
the
Florentines
,
and
himselfe
in
royal
person
commeth
to
Geane
,
where
the
princes
of
Italy
do
salute
him
by
their
Ambassadours
.
The
King
and
the
Pope
talked
togither
at
Bolognia
,
the
pope
entring
first
,
as
the
greater
princes
vse
.
The
Turke
left
off
besieging
Vienna
:
the
Emperour
is
inclined
to
capitulate
with
the
Venetians
,
and
Francis
Sforce
,
to
whom
he
restored
the
dukedome
of
Millaine
,
and
the
Venetians
to
the
Church
that
they
held
in
Romagnia
,
and
to
the
Emperor
that
which
they
held
in
Puglia

THese
late
leagues
seemed
nowe
to
establish
peace
each
where
,
sauing
only
to
the
poore
Florentines
,
who
often
had
helped
others
to
make
their
peace
,
and
now
the
peace
of
others
drew
them
to
a
daungerous
warre
with
the
Emperour
,
who
now
sent
against
them
foure
thousand
Lanceknights
,
and
three
thousande
Spaniards
and
Italians
vnder
the
prince
of
Orange
:
which
maketh
Piscara
and
Prato
yeeld
of
themselues
to
the
Pope
,
and
the
souldiours
of
France
being
well
payd
,
defended
themselues
valiantly
.
In
the
meane
time
the
Pope
causeth
the
French
king
to
send
Monsieur
de
Cleremont
to
Florence
,
to
excuse
himselfe
,
for
not
comprehending
them
in
the
league
vpon
necessitie
of
recouering
his
children
,
wishing
them
to
take
such
conditions
as
they
could
get
in
so
hard
a
case
,
wherein
himselfe
would
be
a
dealer
for
them
.
The
Emperour
meaning
to
go
to
Rome
to
be
crowned
,
being
letted
with
certaine
importunate
affaires
of
Germanie
,
and
chiefly
to
elect
his
brother
Ferdinand
,
king
of
Romanes
,
was
faine
to
be
crowned
at
Bolognia
,
Anno
1530
,
on
his
birth
day
of
S.
Matthias
,
which
was
his
fortunate
day
,
and
there
the
Pope
and
the
duke
of
Ferrara
compromitted
all
their
differences
vnto
him
.
The
Florentines
being
often
skirmished
withall
,
and
often
battered
,
though
they
valiantly
defended
(
after
the
death
of
the
prince
of
Orange
,
and
departure
af
the
Marques
of
Guast
)
were
yet
for
verie
hunger
and
diuersitie
of
opinions
,
driuen
to
offer
to
Gonsague
the
Captaine
of
the
Imperials
,
that
Caesar
himselfe
and
the
Pope
shoulde
determine
their
conditions
and
gouernment
,
their
life
and
libertie
saued
.
Ferdinand
is
now
chosen
King
of
Romanes
at
a
decree
in
Ausbourge
,
and
there
is
treatise
agaynst
the
Lutherians
,
of
whom
the
great
princes
beganne
to
be
afrayde
:
and
at
the
instant
request
of
the
Germaines
,
the
Emperour
summoned
the
Pope
to
call
a
Councell
:
the
Pope
vtterly
misliked
it
,
as
preiudiciall
to
his
Court
,
and
abuses
,
and
yet
dissembled
it
cunningly
.
The
French
would
neuer
bee
long
quiet
,
but
the
King
turneth
to
his
olde
emulation
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
Emperour
,
and
perswadeth
with
the
Pope
and
states
of
Italie
to
take
heed
of
it
.
To
the
states
of
Germanie
,
he
affirmeth
that
the
Emperour
ment
to
make
it
a
Monarchie
.
The
King
of
England
he
pricketh
forwarde
,
in
recounting
vnto
him
how
angrie
the
Emperour
was
for
the
diuorce
of
his
mothers
sister
:
and
last
of
all
,
that
which
euill
beseemed
the
most
Christian
King
,
he
stirreth
vp
the
Turke
,
who
indeede
was
alreadie
iealous
of
his
greatnesse
,
and
hated
him
also
in
respect
of
his
brother
,
with
whom
he
was
at
oddes
for
Hungarie
.
The
Emperour
still
calleth
vpon
the
Councell
,
he
desireth
now
to
renue
the
league
of
Bolognia
,
and
to
comprehende
in
it
all
Italie
,
making
contribution
for
their
common
defence
agaynst
the
French
.
The
Pope
lyked
not
to
be
of
any
side
,
remembring
the
daungers
past
so
often
as
the
sides
were
ouerthrowne
,
but
being
of
that
