AFter that the Emperor had reduced the Kingdome of Bohemia with the three Prouinces thereunto belonging vnder his obedience , and that both High and lower Austria were pacified , & made to acknowledge his Maiesties Soueraignty , and that nothing rested to be subdued but Hungaria . The said Emperour sent the Earle of Bucquoy , his Lieutenant Generall , with an Army of Fifteene Thousand men , to driue Bethlem Gabor out of Hungaria , who hauing taken from him the Towne Edemberg , Presburgh , and the Castle , Ostia , Filech , and other places . At the last he planted his Campe before Newheusel , vpon the seauenth of Iune . This place is one of the Forts of most importance in higher Hungaria , well fortified with Souldiers , and of all thinges else that belongeth to withstand a Siege . In the meane time Bethlem ( that knewe that the siege before Newheusel would continue long ) went to Buda , there to aduance ( as it is thought ) the great Turkes ayde , ( whose designes he hath promised to execute in Hungaria ) and to send 3000. Hungarians and Ttansiluanians to releeue Newheusel , which by the way were ouerthrowne by the Baron de Setchi , & their Ensignes sent to Vianna , The Riuer of Tarose was a great hinderance vnto the Earle of Bucquoy to prepare his battery before the Towne , for that thereon hee was forced to erect his mounts to place his Cannon vpon them . But Bethlem that slept not in his designes knew well that the losse of that place , ( wherein a part of Bethlems riches and the treasures of the Lords of Hungary are ) would driue him out of the Countrey ; hauing receiued a great ayde of Turkes & Tartarians , being part of the Turkes great Army sent towards Poland , resolued by all the meanes that hee could vse to enforce Bucquoy to raise his siege , and if it were possible , sodainly to surprise him , before he could receaue any ayde from the Emperor or any other of his friends ? and to that end caused the Tartarians to march forward , ( being a kinde of the most inhumane people liuing vpon the face of the earth , men whom no paines nor labour can weary , and most ready and prompt in their designes , and much more in their retraicts ) who being 6000. men , and Bethlem himselfe following with as many Turks , Transiluanians , and Hungarians , they sodainly set vpon the Emperours army , that besieged Newheusel on all sides . At which time the Earle of Bucquoy that forsooke not the Campe for feare of the Enemy , ( but leauing the signes of an incomparable valour behinde him ) perceiuing himselfe to be surprized , aswell as hee could , ranged his men in order of Battaile , being resolued in that extremity not to flie nor yet to bee surprized for want of dexteritie , but rather to Fight till he dyed , for the honour of God against his enemies , and in the Emperours cause against his vsurpators . The courage of this braue Souldier was not abashed at the sight of the Turbans and Turkish falchions , neither yet at Bethlems forces , but resolutely determined to sell his life deare vnto them , and that if they tooke it from him , it should not be so good cheape as they made account of , for to flie he saw it was a thing vnworthy and not fit for the courage of such a great Commaunder , ( whose heart was seated in a higher place ) but resolued rather not to liue , after hee should see the ouerthrow and dispersing of his Army , and so to become a prey vnto his enemies , as also that he could not otherwise chuse , hauing the enemy both before and behind him : hauing in comparison but a handfull of men , in regard of the puissant ayde that came with Bethlem Gabor , he defended himselfe with so great valour , that it was not possible to see a more furious combat , nor a more forcible resistance then then was made on both sides , wherein that valiant Captaine almost couered with Arrowes , in the middle of his Souldiers was slaine , being thrice shot , and so fell downe to the ground . To the great griefe and sorrow of all his Company , who will neuer forget the great courage which that valiant Captain shewed in Flaunders in the face of the Hollanders , In Bohemia to the great domage of the Bohemians , and before Prague , at the ouerthrowe of the battaile there fought against the Prince Palatine . And lastly in Hungaria , before the Hungarian faces .

And although this was a great losse vnto the Emperour , as also the rest of his Army by his Death was ouerthrowne , and put to flight , the Siege before Newheusel raised , and Bethlem Gabor thereby tryumphed against them , to the great contentment of the Emperours enemies ; Neuerthelesse , the said Lords place is already supplyed by three other great Captaines , the Marquis of Tieffembach , the Earle de Fugger , and the Baron de Prenner , who with great ayde from the Emperour and other Christian Princes , hope well to reuenge the death of their Generall .
