The
report
of
a
bloudie
and
terrible
Massacre
in
the
Cittie
of
Mosco
,
with
the
fearefull
and
tragicall
end
of
Demetrius
the
last
Duke
,
before
him
raigning
at
this
present
.
After
that
Peter
Vendronitz
Basmaneuf
,
one
of
the
principallest
,
and
most
valiant
Boyars
,
had
béene
magnificently
brought
into
the
Citie
,
and
most
honourablie
received
,
by
Boritz
Fendronitz
Godena
,
who
was
then
Prince
of
the
countrie
:
and
all
this
,
because
of
his
magnanimious
defence
,
and
kéeping
of
the
Castle
of
Novomerskigrod
,
against
the
forces
of
Demetri
Ioanavitz
,
and
that
for
so
valiant
an
act
,
he
had
béene
rewarded
by
his
said
Prince
,
with
great
and
rich
presents
,
the
which
fell
out
,
in
the
moneth
of
Februarie
,
1605.
It
happened
,
that
about
the
13.
of
Aprill
,
the
said
Boritz
Fendronitz
Godena
sodainlie
died
,
not
without
suspition
,
of
having
béene
poysoned
:
and
he
being
interred
the
day
after
,
his
wife
a
desolate
widdowe
,
and
his
sonne
Fender
Borissovitz
,
were
incontinently
placed
in
the
Imperiall
throne
,
and
received
for
Prince
,
and
Princesse
,
by
every
one
of
the
Citie
,
and
of
the
Countrie
,
who
did
them
homage
,
and
sware
vnto
them
,
fidelitie
,
subiection
,
and
obedience
.
Wherefore
,
they
dispatched
incontinently
,
the
said
Peter
Fendronitz
Basmaneuf
towards
the
Campe
,
as
he
that
was
Generall
of
al
the
men
of
warre
,
to
sweare
them
,
according
to
the
custome
which
was
performed
by
the
greatest
part
of
them
.
But
by
reason
that
the
Prince
Demetri
Ioanovitz
,
drew
every
day
,
nearer
,
and
nearer
,
and
that
his
force
apparantly
augmented
,
by
reason
of
the
great
multitude
of
good
fighting
men
,
and
other
hyred
souldiers
,
which
were
sent
him
out
of
Poland
,
so
that
those
of
the
champion
countrie
,
presently
ioyned
with
them
,
principally
because
by
permission
divine
,
all
the
world
was
of
opinion
and
fullie
perswaded
,
that
hee
was
the
man
,
which
should
be
true
heire
,
and
successor
to
the
Crowne
:
to
which
in
like
manner
,
many
of
the
Boyars
,
willingly
gaue
an
eare
,
and
those
also
of
Boritz
Fendronitz
Godenaes
partie
,
who
knew
not
well
their
owne
power
,
and
were
ignorant
how
to
prevaile
with
their
naturall
authority
:
as
also
,
there
was
a
great
part
of
the
men
of
warre
,
which
desired
rather
to
worship
the
Sunne
rysing
,
as
the
said
Basmaneuf
in
like
manner
did
,
to
insinuate
betimes
into
the
favour
of
their
new
Prince
,
so
that
in
conclusion
,
all
the
Campe
revolted
,
adhering
with
the
greatest
part
of
the
Almaines
,
to
that
Prince
Demetrius
:
who
drew
nearer
every
day
,
to
the
chiefe
Citie
of
the
countrie
,
and
in
his
way
all
the
world
fell
downe
before
him
,
and
thus
the
20.
of
June
,
he
made
his
entrie
into
the
Citie
of
Moscovie
.
The
28.
of
the
said
moneth
,
there
arived
also
,
the
old
Princesse
,
who
was
supposed
to
be
the
Mother
,
or
rather
indéede
the
wife
,
of
the
Tyrant
Ioan
Vasiliovitz
,
who
during
her
widdow-head
,
had
béene
shut
vp
,
in
a
little
obscure
cloyster
,
like
a
poore
prisoner
,
which
was
distant
an
hundred
leagues
from
the
said
Citie
.
And
the
said
Prince
,
(
by
supposition
h●●●onne
)
presented
him selfe
before
her
,
accompanying
her
by
the
chariots
side
,
with
his
head
alwaies
vncovered
,
&
on
foote
,
never
mounting
so
much
as
on
horse
backe
,
whilst
they
entered
into
the
Castle
:
where
the
said
pretended
mother
,
betooke
her selfe
to
an
other
of
the
principall
Monasteries
,
wherein
there
was
none
,
but
of
the
greatest
Ladies
in
the
countrie
,
and
where
she
as
yet
remayneth
,
being
very
well
entreated
,
as
a
Princesse
,
or
Empresse
;
and
as
the
wife
,
and
dowager
,
of
an
Emperour
of
that
countrie
.
This
Demetrius
stayed
not
long
,
but
caused
himselfe
to
be
crowned
,
the
21.
of
the
said
moneth
,
notwithstanding
,
that
the
Emperours
of
Russia
were
alwaies
wont
,
to
put
over
this
inauguration
,
vntill
the
fift
of
September
,
which
is
the
day
,
when
they
begin
to
count
the
new
yeare
.
But
it
seemes
necessitie
made
him
hasten
the
celebration
of
this
solemnitie
,
for
verie
urgent
reasons
.
He
had
about
his
person
,
a
guard
of
certaine
Almayne
Halberdiers
,
which
hée
brought
with
him
out
of
Poland
:
but
by
reason
that
this
was
not
the
manner
and
custome
of
other
Princes
,
vpon
their
residence
within
the
Citie
,
they
were
all
presently
discharged
,
as
in
like
manner
all
souldiers
of
any
strange
nation
,
were
licensed
,
and
cashierd
:
the
which
was
put
in
execution
so
confusedly
,
and
sodainely
,
as
divers
were
very
male-content
therewith
,
by
reason
they
gave
them
not
that
which
was
promised
,
whereby
,
they
found
themselues
but
evilly
rewarded
,
and
slenderly
recompensed
for
their
good
services
:
and
namelie
,
there
was
a
certaine
great
Lord
,
and
Prince
of
Russia
the
faire
,
who
was
called
Adam
Visnevetskie
,
that
amongst
other
of
his
complaints
,
intimated
,
how
he
had
lent
the
said
Demetrius
,
while
he
remayned
in
Poland
,
about
the
summe
of
80000
Roubles
(
a
kinde
of
coyne
.
)
Wherefore
it
is
,
I
cannot
well
tell
,
but
the
said
Lord
was
dislodged
,
without
giving
him
,
either
payment
,
or
contentment
:
and
now
there
runnes
a
rumor
abroad
,
that
he
forageth
vpon
the
frontires
of
that
countrie
,
with
divers
others
of
the
same
faction
,
like
male-contented
people
,
doing
there
al
damage
,
and
waste
,
that
they
can
devise
.
At
the
verie
beginning
of
this
Demetrius
his
Empire
,
there
were
many
,
which
as
well
in
publike
,
as
private
,
affirmed
,
that
hée
was
in
no
sort
,
true
successor
,
heire
,
or
Prince
of
the
countrie
,
amongst
whome
,
was
also
a
great
Lord
,
and
a
Monke
.
But
the
said
Monke
was
quicklie
dispatched
,
and
the
Lord
,
whose
name
was
Vasilius
Ioanovitz
Cinskie
(
who
is
now
Prince
of
the
countrie
)
was
brought
into
the
open
market
place
,
before
the
seate
of
Iustice
,
and
stripped
,
readie
to
have
his
head
cut
off
with
an
hatchet
,
who
notwithstanding
at
the
same
instant
,
and
by
the
intercession
of
the
Chancellor
Ossinassi
Ioanovitz
,
obtayned
mercie
,
and
preservation
of
his
life
,
and
was
verie
honourablie
entertayned
,
and
from
that
time
forward
,
one
could
heare
no
speach
of
any
thing
else
,
but
daylie
treasons
,
and
all
kinde
of
conspiracies
:
whereof
haue
ensued
so
manie
tortures
,
flagellations
,
disgraces
,
releasements
,
confiscations
,
and
censure
of
goods
,
with
new
confirmations
of
estates
,
as
it
was
most
wonderfull
to
heare
:
but
this
cursed
race
,
and
perverse
generation
of
vipers
,
never
ceased
,
vntill
they
had
executed
their
tyranicall
designes
,
during
the
governement
of
a
strange
Prince
.
For
his
owne
person
,
he
maintayned
his
greatnesse
verie
well
:
he
was
a
man
of
meane
stature
,
browne
of
hew
,
prompt
to
choller
,
but
quickly
appeased
,
he
hath
broken
many
a
staffe
,
and
given
sentence
of
death
,
vpon
the
Marshalles
,
and
other
officers
,
when
they
did
but
a
little
swarve
from
their
dutie
,
he
liked
well
to
be
on
horse
backe
,
and
loved
to
go
often
on
hunting
,
being
a
man
of
great
expedition
,
&
that
would
quickly
order
whatsoever
came
before
him
,
&
commanded
with
excellent
forecast
,
even
in
the
least
matters
:
he
was
a
great
enterpriser
,
of
wonderfull
courage
,
and
inwardly
conceived
,
that
all
the
countrie
of
Moscovia
,
was
not
sufficient
for
him
,
to
purchase
any
great
renowne
,
so
that
he
aspired
after
other
countries
also
,
and
monarchies
:
at
the
beginning
,
he
was
verie
affable
,
giving
free
accesse
,
even
to
the
meanest
:
but
after
he
grew
to
know
,
and
vnderstand
the
Russians
false
prankes
,
he
provided
himselfe
,
of
a
guard
of
Livonians
,
and
afterwardes
also
,
of
Alwaynes
,
and
other
strangers
,
to
witte
,
vnder
three
Captaines
,
a
French
,
an
English
,
and
a
Scot.
Under
the
French
Captaine
,
who
was
called
Iaques
Margarett
,
he
had
an
hundred
Archers
,
which
carried
Partisanes
,
and
were
richlie
cladde
in
velvet
,
and
cloth
of
gold
.
Under
the
English
man
,
whose
name
was
Mathew
Knowtson
,
he
had
an
hundred
Halbardiers
:
as
also
vnder
the
Scot
,
called
Albert
Fancie
,
in
like
manner
an
hundred
others
,
who
were
apparelled
in
tawnie
cloth
,
with
large
gardes
of
velvet
,
and
on
festivall
daies
,
in
red
crymson
velvet
.
The
Archers
had
for
the
most
part
,
70.
Roubles
a
yeare
,
and
besides
this
,
the
revenewe
of
certaine
lands
,
whereon
they
might
live
.
The
Halbardiers
,
over
and
above
their
revenew
of
land
assigned
them
,
had
40.
Roubles
a
yeare
,
and
two
sutes
of
apparell
;
and
besides
these
,
he
yet
farther
determined
,
to
have
also
entertained
an
hundred
Muskettiers
,
yet
this
determination
was
laid
a
part
.
Besides
the
delight
which
hée
tooke
in
hunting
,
he
also
tooke
great
delight
,
to
cast
péeces
of
Artillerie
,
and
not
onlie
to
sée
them
in
hand
,
but
also
to
prooue
them
himselfe
:
for
which
end
,
he
caused
Ravylines
,
and
Rampiers
to
be
erected
,
to
imitate
an
assault
,
in
which
traynings
,
and
exercises
,
hée
would
alwaies
be
in
the
thickest
amongst
others
,
so
that
somtimes
he
was
but
hardly
entreated
,
and
violently
repulsed
.
Whilst
this
calme
and
peace
endured
,
he
sent
the
Lord
Ossivassi
Ivanovitz
Vlussi
,
his
Ambassador
into
Poland
,
to
demande
the
Vayvod
of
Landimier
his
daughter
in
marriage
,
and
to
bring
the
said
his
spouse
into
the
countrie
.
The
Ambassadour
arived
at
Cracovia
,
and
after
having
procured
,
and
obtayned
his
request
,
the
avant
nuptialles
,
or
espousalles
,
were
verie
royally
celebrated
,
and
the
said
Lady
,
was
placed
at
the
vpper
end
of
the
King
of
Poloniaes
table
,
above
the
King
,
&
the
Popes
Nuntio
:
the
like
honour
being
done
to
the
Ambassadour
,
as
to
one
,
holding
the
place
of
the
Emperour
of
Russia
.
The
young
Prince
of
Polonia
,
togither
with
the
Kings
sister
,
departed
presently
after
,
and
so
the
said
Ambassadour
was
conveyed
with
a
most
magnificent
trayne
,
even
to
the
borders
,
and
arived
héere
with
the
spouses
Father
,
in
the
Citie
of
Mosco
,
the
26.
of
Aprill
,
where
the
day
following
,
he
presently
made
his
report
,
to
Prince
Demetrius
,
and
the
said
Vayvod
had
also
his
accesse
,
in
saluting
all
the
Courtiers
,
and
verie
friendlie
embracing
one
another
,
who
was
lodged
within
the
Castle
,
in
Boritz
Fendronitz
lodging
.
The
second
of
May
,
the
new
Empresse
,
made
her
glorious
entrie
into
the
Castle
,
being
drawne
in
a
Chariot
all
gilded
,
which
was
purposely
made
for
her
:
and
the
same
Ladie
espousall
,
was
accompanied
with
a
great
number
of
Lordes
,
and
gentlemen
,
that
is
to
say
,
first
,
with
my
Lord
her
father
,
the
Vayvod
of
Landimier
;
and
his
sonne
,
my
Lord
,
the
King
of
Poloniaes
Ambassadour
and
the
Lord
Swisnevitz
,
brother
to
the
other
Vayvod
:
also
the
two
brothers
,
Steri●fskie
,
and
many
others
,
which
were
of
the
sute
of
the
said
Princesse
:
and
then
of
the
Princes
traine
,
there
was
the
Lord
Peter
Basmanoff
,
with
all
the
great
Boyars
of
the
countrie
,
they
being
all
most
sumptuouslie
clad
,
after
the
manner
of
that
region
:
there
was
also
many
other
Coaches
,
and
Carosses
of
Ladies
,
and
Gentlemen
.
The
Princesse
shewed
her selfe
verie
benigne
and
gratious
,
in
saluting
not
onlie
,
all
the
Ladies
of
the
Court
,
but
also
,
in
discoursing
verie
affably
,
with
divers
citizens
wives
:
and
thus
they
advanced
towardes
the
Castle
,
where
there
was
an
high
scaffold
set
vp
hard
by
the
gate
,
vpon
the
which
,
a
number
of
trumpets
stoode
,
and
kettle
drums
,
making
a
wonderfull
sound
,
with
the
loud
report
of
their
instruments
.
From
thence
the
said
Ladie
Princesse
,
was
conducted
to
the
Cloyster
,
where
the
Ladies
and
Damoselles
were
resident
,
being
the
widdowes
,
and
daughters
of
the
great
Lordes
,
and
Boyars
of
the
countrie
:
and
there
was
also
the
old
Empresse
,
where
she
was
to
stay
,
and
spend
the
time
,
till
the
day
of
nuptiall
celebration
.
The
Russians
enformed
me
,
that
these
Ladies
were
there
taught
,
and
instructed
in
the
articles
of
the
faith
,
and
Russian
ceremonies
,
and
that
the
same
Ladie
Princesse
,
was
constrayned
to
doe
the
like
,
and
that
after
this
,
she
must
be
baptized
after
the
Russian
manner
:
but
I
rather
suppose
,
séeing
Demetrius
frequented
thither
so
daylie
,
and
was
there
so
privately
,
that
he
taught
her
an
other
Catechisme
:
and
so
as
the
entrie
into
this
Monastery
,
was
made
on
a
Friday
,
so
was
her
comming
forth
,
incontinently
on
the
Wednesday
following
.
For
shée
was
conducted
againe
into
the
Castle
,
into
lodgings
verie
richly
hung
,
and
the
gallerie
(
through
which
shée
was
to
passe
)
was
all
covered
with
red
crimson
cloth
,
and
the
hangings
of
the
said
chambers
,
were
for
the
most
part
,
of
cloth
of
gold
.
The
day
following
,
at
Evensong
,
the
espousalles
were
solemnized
by
the
Patriarch
in
our
Ladies
Church
,
where
shée
was
also
crowned
:
the
Temple
round
about
,
was
hung
with
red
cloth
,
with
embroyderie
of
gold
and
silke
,
and
the
pavement
was
covered
with
the
like
.
The
Crowne
,
Scepter
,
Globe
,
and
Sword
,
were
all
carried
before
the
Emperour
of
Russia
,
and
the
Crowne
,
which
was
to
be
put
on
the
Empresses
head
,
was
carried
vpon
a
cushen
of
red
velvet
:
these
solemnities
continuing
about
the
space
of
two
houres
,
and
thus
they
both
went
out
of
the
Church
togither
,
leading
one
another
by
the
hand
,
with
crownes
on
their
heads
:
on
the
right
hand
,
the
Emperour
was
led
by
the
Lord
Knees
,
or
Duke
Fender
Ivanovitz
Aliholsta
:
and
the
Empresse
on
the
left
,
by
the
Duchesse
,
wife
to
the
said
Lord
.
The
trumpets
,
kettle
drummes
,
and
all
other
musicall
instruments
,
made
a
great
noise
,
and
all
the
Court
,
was
in
festivitie
,
and
ioy
.
But
in
the
ending
,
there
was
no
great
preparation
,
for
it
seemes
,
that
the
greatest
triumphing
,
was
betwixt
the
new
married
couple
.
I
forgot
to
relate
,
how
the
King
of
Poloniaes
Ambassadour
brought
with
him
,
very
goodly
presents
,
the
which
he
presented
,
the
day
after
his
arivall
:
which
were
vessels
of
silver
,
guilt
,
with
a
great
number
of
cuppes
,
and
goblets
,
and
two
goodly
horses
,
with
a
faire
dogge
:
having
delivered
his
letters
of
credence
to
the
Emperours
owne
hands
,
who
receiving
the
letter
,
and
perceiving
,
that
vpon
the
title
of
direction
,
there
was
mentioned
the
title
of
Emperour
,
and
Monarch
of
Russia
,
he
presently
reiected
the
said
letter
,
and
delivered
it
himselfe
to
the
same
Ambassadour
:
wherevpon
the
Ambassadour
replying
,
answered
,
that
his
grandfathers
,
and
predecessors
,
never
pretended
,
nor
vsurped
any
such
title
,
and
that
therefore
,
none
was
enioyned
,
to
entitle
him
otherwise
,
then
by
the
name
of
great
Duke
:
but
if
he
did
affect
any
higher
stile
then
his
progenitors
,
that
then
he
should
endeavour
to
conquer
the
Empires
of
great
Tartaria
,
or
attempt
to
subdue
vnder
himselfe
,
the
scepter
of
the
Turkish
Emperour
,
and
then
he
would
be
acknowledged
of
all
the
world
,
for
an
Emperour
,
and
Monarch
.
At
which
so
sharpe
,
and
stinging
an
answere
,
the
Vayvod
,
Father
to
the
spouse
,
was
mightilie
astonished
,
and
Prince
Demetrius
so
enraged
,
that
hée
woulde
have
cast
his
scepter
at
the
Ambassadours
head
.
When
this
choler
was
over
,
some
body
demaunded
of
the
Ambassadour
,
whether
the
scepter
was
throwne
at
his
head
or
no
?
if
it
had
béene
(
said
he
)
I
would
have
taken
it
vp
,
and
gone
away
with
the
scepter
,
returning
presently
into
my
countrie
:
notwithstanding
,
all
this
spléene
passed
over
eassely
,
and
they
retyred
themselues
peaceably
,
and
verie
good
friends
,
but
the
letter
was
never
read
.
Mony
also
was
throwne
abroad
,
when
the
coronation
was
solemnized
,
and
Friday
,
which
was
the
9.
of
May
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
day
after
the
coronation
,
and
consummation
of
the
marriage
,
the
presents
of
the
Ambassadours
,
and
others
of
the
Court
,
should
have
béene
delivered
,
but
it
séemes
,
that
this
good
Demetrius
,
who
it
may
be
(
as
having
béene
heretofore
a
Monke
)
was
too
devout
vpon
his
Breviarie
,
he
said
too
long
a
Masse
with
his
new
mistris
,
in
whose
companie
,
he
was
so
ravished
,
that
he
forgot
to
rise
soone
enough
in
the
morning
,
and
so
shewing
himselfe
in
publike
very
late
,
the
same
evening
also
there
was
no
great
banqueting
at
the
Court
.
But
on
Satterday
,
which
was
a
very
solemne
festivall
day
,
so
as
the
Russians
kept
it
with
greater
reverence
,
then
their
Easter
:
it
vexed
the
Russians
wonderfully
,
to
sée
this
day
prophaned
by
their
Princes
nuptialles
,
but
notwithstanding
this
,
the
Emperour
,
with
the
Empresse
,
having
their
crownes
vpon
their
heads
,
were
set
in
a
great
Hall
,
where
first
the
Patriarke
,
and
then
the
Boyars
,
and
in
the
end
,
Merchants
strangers
,
and
other
men
of
qualitie
,
entred
in
,
kissing
the
new
Empresses
hand
,
and
everie
one
offering
of
their
presents
:
amongst
whome
,
was
also
your
brother
,
and
I
,
but
I
would
to
God
we
had
kept
our
mony
in
our
purses
,
although
we
did
it
in
hope
,
to
have
obtayned
some
priviledges
;
this
we
did
out
of
a
good
intention
,
according
as
we
had
before
received
many
faire
promises
from
my
Lord
Vayvod
:
but
the
disastrous
end
of
all
this
festivitie
,
did
in
like
manner
frustrate
vs
of
our
designes
.
Wherefore
presently
the
tables
were
in
readinesse
,
and
we
were
invited
,
and
set
in
presence
of
our
Emperour
,
at
a
most
sumptuous
dinner
,
and
banquet
,
but
after
the
manner
of
that
countrie
,
and
we
strangers
were
placed
at
the
table
,
with
our
faces
towardes
the
Emperour
,
but
the
Russians
were
not
permitted
to
doe
so
,
but
they
must
sit
with
their
backes
vpon
him
:
this
feast
might
wel
deserue
a
prettie
treatise
apart
,
but
wée
must
reserue
something
till
we
returne
,
to
report
vnto
you
,
by
worde
of
mouth
,
the
braue
drafts
,
that
there
they
carowsed
,
and
dranke
off
.
After
this
feast
,
they
sent
home
vnto
vs
meate
in
gilded
plate
,
but
they
forgot
not
quickly
to
redemaund
their
plate
dishes
againe
,
otherwise
it
might
haue
béene
supposed
,
that
we
received
them
in
recompence
of
our
former
presents
.
There
was
very
excellent
musike
which
was
of
Poland
,
among
the
followers
of
the
said
Ladie
,
and
this
was
the
best
pastime
we
had
,
but
it
was
a
verie
short
ioy
and
iubilie
.
The
Sonday
following
,
there
was
yet
farre
greater
feasting
,
and
the
king
of
Poloniaes
Ambassadour
,
made
it
knowne
before
,
that
he
would
not
sit
downe
at
the
table
,
except
they
did
him
the
same
honour
,
which
was
afforded
the
Ambassadour
of
Russia
,
in
the
royal
Court
of
Cracovia
,
where
he
was
set
downe
at
the
Kings
table
,
and
so
he
requested
,
he
might
likewise
have
his
place
,
at
the
Imperiall
table
,
to
which
the
Emperour
would
not
in
the
beginning
consent
,
but
so
he
let
him
vnderstand
,
that
he
should
have
his
place
,
above
al
the
Boyares
,
and
great
Lordes
of
the
countrie
:
the
which
the
said
Polonian
Ambassadour
flatlie
refused
,
so
that
at
last
,
the
Emperour
permitted
him
to
sit
at
his
table
,
and
so
he
came
thither
with
his
presents
,
which
were
farre
ritcher
,
then
any
of
the
former
,
and
the
banquet
continued
till
it
was
late
in
the
evening
.
In
the
retiring
of
themselues
,
a
Polonian
strucke
a
Russian
such
a
blowe
,
that
being
sore
wounded
,
he
cryed
aloud
,
murder
.
But
the
vproare
was
presently
pacified
,
and
the
two
daies
following
,
there
was
nothing
but
sounding
of
trumpets
,
and
kettle
drummes
,
after
the
Imperiall
manner
.
It
was
supposed
also
,
that
the
guard
of
the
Boyares
,
should
have
shot
off
their
Harquebuzes
,
and
that
the
Artillerie
,
and
Chambers
laden
with
balles
of
artificiall
fire
,
should
have
béene
discharged
,
in
signe
of
ioy
,
the
Cannon
was
now
drawne
out
of
the
Citie
,
and
a
Fortresse
of
wood
after
the
moderne
fashion
was
built
for
an
assault
:
but
all
this
(
as
an
evill
presagement
)
was
given
over
.
On
Wednesday
,
a
day
,
whereon
the
Russians
eate
no
flesh
,
all
was
verie
silent
,
and
still
,
as
also
the
Thursday
following
,
and
by
reason
the
Emperor
had
alittle
inckling
of
what
was
a
brewing
amongst
the
Russians
,
having
alwaies
his
eare
,
and
eye
herevpon
,
he
advised
all
the
Poloniaus
to
stand
vpon
their
guard
,
commanding
all
those
of
his
owne
guard
,
that
they
should
repaire
to
the
Castle
,
with
their
Harquebuzes
charged
,
bullet
in
mouth
,
and
match
light
,
and
in
truth
,
there
was
to
the
number
of
15000.
Muscovites
,
which
were
now
in
readines
,
to
effect
their
enterprise
:
but
by
reason
that
the
Polonians
kept
good
watch
,
and
shot
off
many
Harquebuzadoes
in
hearing
,
making
a
great
rutte
with
their
kettle
drummes
,
the
Russians
durst
attempt
nothing
:
that
present
night
,
which
might
have
served
the
other
well
,
for
an
admonition
,
and
fore-sight
:
as
also
they
might
clearely
perceive
,
that
the
ioy
of
this
marriage
sodainely
ceased
,
and
that
all
the
time
passed
away
,
in
an
vncouth
and
dead
silence
,
and
the
Friday
after
,
there
was
none
that
would
sell
them
any
powder
,
or
other
warlike
munition
.
In
the
meane
while
,
the
young
Empresse
passed
the
time
merrily
amongst
her
damoselles
,
in
measures
,
daunces
,
and
masking
,
intending
to
have
come
the
Sonday
following
,
in
a
gallant
mummerie
to
find
out
the
Emperour
,
when
he
should
be
at
a
banquet
,
with
the
great
Lords
,
and
to
present
them
yet
further
,
with
some
new
recreations
,
but
all
this
was
interrupted
:
for
the
Russians
now
plotted
,
to
put
in
execution
,
a
designe
,
which
long
time
before
they
had
resolved
vpon
:
which
was
,
the
same
Satterday
,
being
the
17.
of
May
,
according
to
the
old
stile
,
about
seaven
by
our
clockes
in
the
morning
.
For
this
conspiracie
to
kill
the
Emperour
,
was
proiected
before
the
Vayvods
comming
into
the
countrie
with
his
daughter
,
they
bethinking
themselues
long
before
,
to
entrap
all
the
Polonians
,
which
should
then
be
there
present
,
with
their
armes
,
and
also
because
by
the
same
meane
,
they
would
recover
at
that
instant
,
all
the
treasure
which
had
bin
sent
out
of
the
countrie
,
to
the
said
Vayvod
,
&
his
daughter
,
and
thus
this
tragedie
began
.
On
the
same
day
,
most
terribly
,
the
Boyars
,
with
their
servants
being
mounted
on
horse
backe
,
with
harnesse
,
and
coates
of
male
on
their
backes
,
hauing
lances
in
their
handes
,
iavelines
,
and
darts
,
bowes
,
and
arrowes
,
cymitars
,
and
all
other
kind
of
armes
,
the
common
people
running
vp
and
downe
,
with
their
stéele
mases
,
stockes
,
and
cymitars
in
their
hands
,
the
number
of
them
being
so
great
,
as
it
séemed
,
that
the
Myrmidons
swarmed
as
thicke
as
haile
stones
,
all
the
world
ranne
hastily
towardes
the
Castle
,
crying
no
other
thing
,
along
the
stréetes
as
they
went
,
but
,
to
the
murder
,
to
the
fire
,
kill
,
kill
,
making
one
another
beléeve
,
that
the
Polonians
massacred
the
Boyars
within
the
Castle
,
though
verie
few
of
them
were
lodged
within
the
same
:
but
this
was
done
to
no
other
end
,
but
the
more
to
flesh
the
rakehell
vulgar
,
against
the
poore
Polonians
.
This
vproare
was
so
sodaine
,
that
divers
Russians
,
apparelled
after
the
Polonian
fashion
,
were
slayne
amiddest
the
presse
,
and
incontinently
,
they
belayed
the
Innes
,
and
lodgings
of
all
the
Polonian
Gentlemen
,
so
as
no
bodie
could
either
come
forth
,
or
assist
one
another
,
with
their
armes
.
They
ranne
in
thousands
towardes
the
Castle
,
where
no
resistance
was
made
against
them
,
by
the
Princes
Archers
,
who
were
all
Russians
,
and
held
correspondencie
with
the
rest
.
And
evill
fortune
went
so
hard
on
this
miserable
Princes
side
,
that
where
as
he
was
wont
to
have
every
day
,
all
100
Halberdiers
,
in
a
corps
de
guard
,
there
was
not
now
30.
no
,
not
so
much
as
one
Captaine
to
be
séene
,
and
yet
if
they
had
béene
there
all
togither
,
and
performed
their
best
,
in
defending
of
themselues
,
it
had
béene
nothing
against
so
great
a
multitude
of
people
,
but
the
slaughter
,
and
butchery
had
béene
so
much
the
greater
,
besides
the
evident
daunger
,
whereto
was
Dutch
Merchants
,
and
of
all
other
strange
nations
should
have
runne
into
.
The
Russians
therefore
,
cryed
out
to
them
of
the
guard
,
(
so
few
of
them
as
there
were
)
that
they
should
lay
aside
their
armes
,
to
come
&
ioyne
with
them
,
and
take
their
part
,
and
then
they
should
have
no
hurt
at
all
,
the
which
they
presently
did
,
&
willingly
yéelded
themselues
,
with
their
armes
laid
aside
,
The
Russians
then
ranne
vp
towardes
the
great
Hall
,
with
great
presse
,
the
above
named
Peter
Basmaneuf
going
before
them
,
who
was
a
verie
faithfull
friend
of
the
Emperours
,
and
who
,
heretofore
had
a
servant
,
who
many
times
spake
very
evillie
of
the
Emperour
,
and
defamed
him
amongst
the
common
people
;
the
same
was
he
,
who
sodainely
stroke
his
old
master
,
in
such
a
sort
,
that
he
died
.
The
great
troupe
then
ranne
with
like
haste
,
thorow
the
Chambers
,
and
even
to
the
Emperours
owne
lodging
,
who
hearing
this
tumult
,
leapt
out
of
his
bed
,
putting
on
his
night
gowne
,
and
demaunding
what
the
matter
was
:
whereupon
one
of
his
houshold
Russes
answered
,
that
he
knew
nothing
,
and
that
it
might
be
they
cryed
out
for
some
fire
.
No
,
villainous
traytor
as
thou
art
,
(
said
the
Emperour
)
it
is
not
for
fire
they
thus
crie
out
,
but
there
must
néedes
be
some
other
matter
in
it
,
for
all
the
belles
,
as
well
of
the
Cittie
,
as
of
the
Castle
doe
ring
alarum
.
Ah
(
saide
he
further
)
doe
you
thinke
you
have
to
doe
with
an
other
Boritz
and
so
hée
made
himselfe
ready
,
tucking
vp
his
shirt
sléeves
very
high
,
and
calling
for
his
two
edged
Curtleaxe
,
which
they
were
wont
to
carry
before
him
,
to
lay
about
him
,
within
on
all
sides
,
but
he
who
had
it
in
kéeping
,
could
not
finde
it
:
and
when
hée
sawe
the
enemies
troupe
to
presse
forward
,
to
flie
vpon
him
,
hée
requested
his
Halberdiers
which
were
before
the
gate
,
that
they
woulde
not
thus
yéelde
him
into
the
Boyars
handes
,
shutting
the
doore
himselfe
,
and
so
retiring
within
some
other
more
inward
Chambers
,
even
to
the
stuffe
where
he
was
wont
to
bathe
himselfe
,
whither
hée
was
presently
pursued
by
his
enemies
,
so
that
hée
leaped
downe
out
of
a
window
,
falling
a
marvellous
height
,
vppon
the
pavement
;
for
his
lodging
was
in
the
toppe
of
the
Castle
,
so
as
it
was
a
great
wonder
,
that
he
broke
not
his
armes
,
and
legs
,
or
that
hée
was
not
crushed
all
in
péeces
.
One
of
his
Halberdiers
,
called
Farstenberg
,
came
presently
downe
the
staires
,
and
found
him
yet
alive
,
but
allhis
breast
was
bruised
,
so
as
he
did
nothing
but
vomite
bloud
,
&
his
head
was
also
all
to
be
crushed
,
&
bloudy
.
The
saide
Halberdier
,
with
others
helpe
,
carried
him
up
againe
into
his
Chamber
,
where
he
was
alittle
refreshed
with
waters
and
other
comfortative
drugges
,
while
hée
came
alittle
againe
vnto
himselfe
,
and
then
the
Boyars
had
much
talke
with
him
,
and
interrogated
with
him
vpon
some
points
,
but
it
could
never
yet
he
well
knowne
,
what
passed
betwixt
them
.
And
to
the
end
that
the
saide
Halberdier
might
divulge
nothing
of
such
matters
as
had
passed
betwixt
them
,
they
presently
killed
him
,
and
afterwardes
they
slew
their
Prince
,
with
many
cuttes
and
thrusts
,
and
so
they
drew
out
his
body
,
throwing
it
downe
from
aloft
with
a
cord
fastned
about
his
privities
,
and
thus
hacked
,
dragged
it
towardes
the
market
place
like
a
dogge
or
some
other
vile
carrion
,
leaving
thus
his
stript
and
naked
dead
body
,
to
the
view
of
all
the
world
,
vpon
a
plancher
or
stage
erected
on
high
,
till
the
fourth
day
after
,
and
vnder
him
,
the
body
of
his
friend
Peter
Basmaneuf
.
There
went
every
day
thither
great
numbers
of
men
and
women
,
to
sée
this
hideous
sight
,
and
they
put
an
vgly
visard
vpon
the
Emperours
belly
,
which
they
had
found
amongest
the
Empresses
spoyls
,
and
in
his
mouth
the
flute
,
with
a
kind
of
litle
bagpipe
,
vnder
the
arme
with
a
péece
of
money
of
the
valew
of
halfe
a
Patar
,
giving
to
vnderstand
by
this
,
that
for
the
péece
of
mony
hée
gave
them
a
hunts
vp
,
or
fit
of
an
old
song
.
The
popular
sort
in
the
meane
while
,
forbare
not
to
runne
headlong
vp
and
downe
the
Castle
,
and
into
the
Polonians
lodgings
,
killing
divers
of
them
,
and
pilling
of
their
houses
,
ransacking
them
in
such
sorte
as
they
had
not
a
shirt
left
to
putte
on
their
bodies
.
The
Musitions
defended
themselves
a
good
while
,
and
five
or
sixe
of
them
escaped
,
but
the
rest
to
the
number
of
about
twenty
persons
,
were
all
hewen
in
péeces
.
The
Lord
Vayvods
house
,
by
reason
it
was
environed
with
good
walles
,
and
had
also
a
good
guard
within
,
was
saved
:
the
gates
were
well
baricadoed
without
,
to
the
end
that
no
man
might
goe
out
,
or
flie
away
.
I
leave
every
man
now
to
imagine
,
how
this
poore
Princesse
with
all
her
Ladies
and
Damosels
,
were
discomforted
in
their
hearts
:
for
she
was
presently
robbed
and
spoyled
of
all
her
riches
,
iewells
,
mooveables
,
apparrell
;
and
even
the
cowches
,
and
beds
whereon
she
reposed
,
were
taken
away
from
vnder
her
:
as
also
all
the
Lords
and
Polonian
Gentlemen
were
robbed
of
all
the
iewels
and
presents
that
had
before
béene
given
them
.
True
it
is
,
that
they
within
the
towne
defended
themselves
very
valiantly
in
their
Innes
,
but
in
the
end
they
were
driven
to
yéelde
,
and
leave
the
boote
to
the
others
.
The
Lord
of
Vituenetskie
onely
saved
himselfe
,
and
his
traine
,
and
killed
many
Russes
,
though
they
had
planted
the
canon
against
his
house
,
and
at
last
séeing
himselfe
hardly
beset
,
he
hung
out
a
white
cloth
,
in
signe
that
hée
determined
to
haue
yéelded
,
causing
presently
a
number
of
duckats
to
be
scattered
before
his
chamber
dooze
.
The
Russians
ranne
thicke
and
thréefolde
to
annoint
their
fingers
herewith
,
but
his
people
issued
out
sodainely
vpon
them
,
and
so
slashing
and
hewing
on
euery
side
,
they
slue
aboue
an
hundred
Russes
,
and
made
an
open
way
for
themselves
to
goe
out
,
when
in
the
meane
while
,
diuers
Boyars
of
the
Castle
came
,
who
tooke
the
said
Lord
into
their
protection
,
and
driue
out
all
the
common
people
,
so
that
in
the
end
,
all
this
allarum
was
appeased
.
A
Polish
Gentleman
called
Nimetskie
,
brought
thither
sundry
iewels
of
great
valew
,
and
had
deliuered
them
to
the
Emperour
but
the
day
before
:
as
a
seruant
of
the
Lord
Vol●kie
did
the
like
,
hauing
made
shew
in
the
Court
of
diuers
goodly
tapistries
which
he
brought
,
all
these
things
were
taken
from
them
.
But
aboue
others
,
diuers
Almaine
and
Italian
Merchants
are
to
be
lamented
,
amongst
whom
,
there
was
a
very
honourable
aged
man
,
who
was
called
Iohn
Ambrosio
Celari
a
Mylanese
,
that
had
also
deliuered
out
of
his
handes
at
the
Court
,
to
the
valew
of
thrée
and
twenty
thousand
Florines
,
who
was
there
most
villainously
murdered
,
by
the
rascall
vulgar
.
In
the
same
lodging
remayned
also
two
seruants
belonging
to
Maister
Philip
Henbar
,
of
Ausburg
,
who
were
recommended
vnto
me
by
my
friends
at
Croeo
,
and
had
also
deliuered
for
the
value
of
aboue
25000.
florines
in
merchandise
solde
to
the
Emperour
,
and
yet
they
had
taken
from
them
,
besides
above
10000.
florins
more
.
There
is
yet
here
a
merchant
of
Ausburg
,
called
Andrew
Nathan
,
which
was
out
in
the
Court
,
above
200000.
florins
,
being
robbed
also
of
an
10000.
florins
,
in
goods
and
merchandise
.
Here
is
also
a
Russian
Merchant
of
Lemberg
,
called
Nicholas
,
who
hath
also
lost
great
store
of
goods
.
I
am
afraid
they
will
never
recover
any
repayment
thereof
;
I
spake
twice
with
the
Emperours
brother
now
raigning
,
by
way
of
commending
vnto
him
,
the
affaires
of
these
honest
men
,
and
presented
vnto
him
their
petitions
,
to
the
end
,
that
by
his
mediation
,
something
might
be
obtained
from
the
Emperour
:
but
be
gave
me
no
other
answere
,
but
that
this
merchandise
was
never
delivered
to
the
precedent
Emperour
,
by
the
Treasurer
of
Russia
,
but
that
the
Polonians
greased
their
fingers
with
it
,
so
that
the
Russians
,
will
not
now
,
heare
on
that
side
,
they
alleadging
further
,
that
none
of
all
these
things
were
ever
found
in
the
Treasurie
,
but
that
this
Royster
(
for
he
tearmed
him
Rostrigo
,
which
is
to
say
,
a
riotous
,
or
debauched
monke
,
for
so
he
called
the
dead
Prince
)
had
sent
it
all
out
of
the
countrie
,
and
that
there
was
no
more
mony
remayning
in
the
Treasurie
,
to
pay
such
summes
.
These
Almayne
Merchants
,
had
also
one
of
their
servants
,
which
was
borne
in
Antwerpe
,
being
named
Iaques
,
who
was
miserablie
slaine
,
in
this
popular
furie
,
and
was
throwne
amongst
other
dead
bodies
into
a
ditch
,
but
I
caused
him
to
be
found
,
and
drawne
out
,
and
did
honourably
burie
him
.
All
things
had
such
lamentable
issue
,
in
this
terrible
daies
worke
,
and
the
peoples
crie
was
so
dreadfull
,
the
alarum
bell
ringing
continually
,
and
there
being
no
end
of
slaughter
,
that
I
was
in
great
anguish
of
mind
,
especially
,
when
as
I
sawe
,
that
they
sacked
the
next
house
to
my
lodging
,
where
the
Lord
Peter
Basmaneuf
dwelled
,
who
was
one
of
the
first
,
that
was
slaine
at
the
Court
,
looking
every
minute
,
for
no
better
a
bargaine
then
the
rest
:
but
in
the
end
,
I
tooke
courage
,
and
mounting
on
horse
backe
,
I
brake
through
the
presse
,
being
accompanied
with
three
of
my
servants
,
committing
my selfe
to
Gods
protection
,
and
I
went
to
find
out
one
of
the
Lords
and
Boyars
,
to
obtaine
from
them
a
safe
conduct
,
for
feare
of
being
massacred
in
mine
owne
house
,
the
number
of
them
was
so
great
,
whome
I
mette
with
their
cymitars
all
bloudie
,
in
so
fearefull
a
manner
,
that
I
was
many
times
excéedingly
affrighted
,
and
thought
to
have
forsaken
my
way
,
which
had
béene
my
apparant
death
.
But
God
was
so
gratious
to
me
,
that
I
mette
in
the
stréetes
two
Marshalles
,
which
were
officers
of
Justice
in
the
Citie
,
who
left
mée
one
of
their
men
,
for
my
guide
,
and
guard
,
with
whome
I
returned
to
my
lodging
,
but
one
of
my
servants
remayned
,
and
went
with
them
,
who
procured
me
further
fix
others
of
their
men
,
to
withstand
them
in
the
Justices
name
,
if
the
multitude
should
have
gone
about
to
force
my
house
.
I
can
never
be
sufficiently
thankfull
to
God
,
for
preserving
me
in
this
so
evident
,
and
manifest
a
danger
.
And
so
this
alarum
continued
,
from
morning
till
evening
,
but
the
night
following
,
there
was
such
a
déepe
silence
over
all
this
great
Citie
,
as
though
there
had
not
béene
one
living
soule
therein
.
The
Innes
of
the
Polonian
Lords
,
were
invironed
round
about
,
and
kept
with
a
good
guard
,
and
all
their
armes
taken
from
them
.
If
this
nation
had
kept
good
centinell
,
and
held
themselues
in
armes
,
and
good
order
,
or
but
set
fire
on
some
parts
of
the
Citie
,
when
this
alarum
began
,
it
had
béene
the
horriblest
slaughter
,
and
the
greatest
effusion
of
bloud
that
ever
was
heard
of
:
for
there
was
a
great
number
of
them
,
and
they
were
well
horsed
,
and
had
good
armes
,
and
there
,
the
houses
are
all
of
woode
:
but
God
had
his
hand
herein
,
so
that
of
the
two
,
the
lesse
calamitie
happened
:
for
the
Polonians
have
no
goodnesse
in
them
,
but
are
full
out
as
villanous
,
and
bad
as
the
Russians
.
The
furie
being
thus
pacified
by
this
Emperours
brother
,
being
assisted
by
the
principall
Lords
,
and
Boyars
,
they
assembled
togither
about
the
election
of
another
Emperour
,
and
so
they
ioyntly
elected
for
their
Prince
,
the
Lord
Vasilius
Inavovitz
Cintskie
,
and
this
election
was
made
,
on
the
20.
of
May
.
Amongst
the
Dukes
of
this
countrie
,
he
is
one
of
the
most
auncient
,
and
of
the
auncientest
,
and
most
renowmed
familie
,
of
all
the
Boyars
:
God
give
him
a
long
and
happie
life
,
and
make
him
to
governe
well
and
iustlie
.
The
29.
of
May
,
Demetrius
his
body
,
was
dis-interred
,
and
drawne
out
of
the
Citie
,
it
being
there
burnt
,
and
consumed
to
ashes
,
and
the
multitude
said
,
they
would
have
it
thus
performed
:
alleadging
,
how
it
was
to
prevent
the
charmes
,
of
that
dead
Enchaunter
.
For
the
same
night
after
he
was
slaine
,
there
was
such
a
great
,
and
wonderfull
frost
,
that
all
the
corne
of
the
fields
was
spoyled
,
and
as
divers
verie
old
men
also
affirmed
,
in
their
life
time
,
they
never
heard
of
the
like
,
in
so
forward
a
season
of
the
spring
.
All
their
fruites
,
and
gardens
were
spoyled
,
and
the
leaves
of
the
trees
in
the
forrests
,
were
so
withered
,
as
it
was
to
be
feared
,
that
this
would
cause
a
great
dearth
of
all
things
throughout
the
whole
countrie
:
all
corne
grew
presently
double
,
above
the
ordinarie
prise
;
but
the
night
after
his
bodie
was
burnt
,
it
was
yet
a
farre
greater
frost
,
so
that
these
barbarous
,
and
infidell
people
beléeve
,
that
in
his
life
time
,
he
was
a
great
Nigromancer
,
but
they
should
rather
have
ascribed
it
,
to
the
great
enormitie
of
their
owne
grievous
sinnes
.
The
thirtie
day
of
the
same
month
the
Articles
of
his
condemnation
were
publikely
read
,
and
wherefore
they
made
him
to
be
dispatched
after
this
manner
.
First
,
they
alleadged
that
he
had
béene
a
shauen
and
graduated
monke
,
whose
kinsmen
,
sisters
,
and
brothers
were
yet
liuing
,
that
is
,
his
father
in
lawe
,
and
his
owne
mother
,
who
were
brought
into
the
market
place
before
all
the
people
,
and
their
order
is
so
strict
,
that
euery
professed
Monke
,
leauing
his
order
,
and
prophaning
his
sacred
vow
,
ought
to
be
burned
,
and
the
like
is
observed
towardes
Nunnes
,
there
being
no
remission
or
pardon
graunted
for
such
an
offence
.
For
his
father
in
lawe
,
his
owne
mother
,
and
his
brother
,
who
were
exposed
,
(
as
hath
béene
said
)
to
the
view
of
the
whole
world
,
they
were
reputed
to
be
the
same
,
though
they
resembled
him
in
nothing
at
all
,
and
whether
they
had
suborned
them
,
to
confesse
such
a
matter
in
the
presence
of
all
men
,
God
knowes
,
this
I
may
be
bolde
to
affirme
,
that
I
sée
them
as
wel
as
many
others
,
and
I
also
sawe
them
made
,
to
kisse
a
crosse
,
and
take
an
oathe
thereon
,
that
his
name
was
Gregorie
,
and
in
their
language
Griskie
Strepy
,
and
that
he
was
a
Monke
of
this
Cittie
in
the
monasterie
of
the
Castle
:
men
say
,
that
in
his
youth
hée
was
very
diligent
to
reade
and
write
,
and
delighted
much
to
peruse
and
reade
Histories
and
Chronicles
,
hauing
sometimes
serued
in
the
Patriarkes
Court
,
for
a
Singing
man
and
a
Musitian
,
euer
carefully
obseruing
whatsoever
might
further
his
intentions
,
neither
would
he
euer
goe
into
the
said
monastery
,
as
long
as
hée
was
emperour
,
fearing
(
as
men
saie
)
to
be
knowne
by
some
of
those
monks
,
that
were
drooping
and
olde
,
like
the
good
olde
Jades
of
Galicia
.
Men
say
likewise
,
that
at
Galith
,
where
hée
was
borne
,
hée
caused
his
father
in
law
,
his
mother
,
brothers
,
and
al
the
rest
of
his
kinred
,
to
the
number
of
thrée
score
persons
,
to
be
imprisoned
in
a
tower
:
all
this
went
currant
amongst
the
common
people
.
The
second
point
was
,
that
he
was
a
Magitian
,
and
that
by
enchantment
he
had
obtained
so
many
victories
,
and
prosperous
successe
in
attaining
to
the
Crowne
,
The
third
Article
was
,
that
he
was
knowne
to
be
an
heretike
,
that
hée
neuer
obserued
their
feasts
,
nor
fasts
,
and
that
hée
made
no
accompt
of
their
Images
and
ceremonies
.
The
fourth
Article
imputed
to
him
,
was
,
that
hée
had
entred
into
a
daungerous
and
pernicious
conspiracie
with
the
Pope
,
against
their
Religion
,
wholly
to
supplant
that
,
and
to
bring
in
the
Romane
rites
,
euen
as
there
were
written
Letters
af
the
Popes
found
to
that
effect
,
while
hée
was
emperour
,
wherein
hée
was
exhorted
,
to
put
in
execution
,
what
hée
had
before
so
oftentimes
promised
to
the
saide
Pope
,
perswading
him
,
to
procure
in
such
sort
,
that
the
Jesuites
,
and
other
Romish
Priestes
,
might
be
established
in
their
Churches
,
and
that
Temples
and
Colleges
might
be
alotted
them
,
to
reforme
the
whole
Country
.
For
the
fift
imputation
,
there
were
Letters
brought
foorth
,
wherein
he
had
treated
and
concluded
with
the
Vayvod
,
to
giue
him
the
principalitie
of
Smolenko
,
and
to
his
wife
,
the
principalitie
of
Novigrod
,
to
their
sonne
the
country
of
Dibiria
,
and
that
they
had
plotted
together
to
haue
massacred
all
the
Boyars
,
to
extirpate
their
whole
race
,
and
to
plant
in
their
stead
,
the
Polonian
Vayvodes
,
and
to
constitute
new
Castelans
,
and
Starostes
,
sed
haec
non
credo
:
as
also
that
he
had
drawen
the
Canon
out
of
the
Cittie
,
and
making
shew
,
as
though
he
intended
it
for
some
pastime
or
triumph
,
to
turn
them
against
the
Citty
,
and
so
to
haue
bestowed
on
them
so
many
canonadoes
crosse
,
or
a thwart
,
for
their
disseverance
one
from
another
,
and
thereupon
the
Polonians
should
haue
fallen
into
the
Cittie
,
and
killed
all
those
which
made
any
resistance
,
and
so
to
haue
made
themselues
absolute
Lordes
of
the
chiefe
Cittie
in
the
Country
,
which
might
very
well
haue
béene
effected
,
if
the
Russians
had
not
stoode
well
vpon
their
guard
:
for
,
whosoever
is
maister
of
that
Citty
,
he
is
Lord
of
the
whole
country
.
Howsoeuer
it
was
,
I
referre
my selfe
to
a
further
time
,
which
will
discouer
all
.
Sixtly
,
they
complained
greatly
,
because
the
Boyars
and
great
Lords
of
the
countrie
had
so
little
,
and
in
a
manner
,
no
accesse
at
all
to
the
Prince
,
who
did
disdaine
them
,
and
after
such
a
sort
,
as
they
were
faine
to
attend
before
the
Pallace
gate
,
and
oftentimes
,
were
also
repulsed
by
the
Halberdiers
,
whereas
the
Polonians
,
entred
as
often
as
they
would
,
and
being
oftentimes
outraged
,
by
this
Polonian
nation
.
When
they
made
their
complaints
,
surdo
narrabant
fabulam
;
there
was
no
iustice
done
,
in
revenge
of
the
wrongs
they
endured
,
and
moreover
it
was
imputed
vnto
him
,
that
he
vndertooke
all
his
affaires
,
without
demaunding
their
counsalle
,
or
advise
in
any
thing
,
and
when
they
replied
to
any
point
,
difficult
,
or
doubtfull
,
they
were
driven
away
with
hand-blowes
,
disgraced
,
and
sent
into
exile
.
The
seaventh
was
a
complaint
:
about
the
great
,
and
excessiue
expence
he
had
béene
at
.
He
made
him
a
gilded
Throne
,
on
each
side
of
the
same
,
there
were
six
Lyons
gilded
,
all
of
massie
silver
,
the
which
no
other
great
Duke
euer
did
,
and
the
Scepter
and
Crowne
was
neuer
carried
before
any
other
,
as
it
was
before
this
man
,
and
that
excéeding
all
his
predecessors
,
hée
had
bought
many
iewelles
,
which
were
found
in
his
cabbinet
,
as
also
a
number
of
other
pretious
things
,
presenting
diuers
very
prodigally
:
and
hauing
sent
into
Polonia
huge
summes
of
money
,
so
as
the
treasure
was
cleane
exhausted
,
and
therefore
hée
had
layde
great
taxes
and
impositions
vpon
the
countrey
,
not
rewarding
for
all
this
,
those
which
deserued
well
,
but
euer
fauouring
,
rather
Flatterers
,
Buffons
,
and
Juglers
,
to
whome
hée
woulde
vsually
giue
rich
giftes
,
and
that
very
largely
too
.
Eightly
,
hée
was
grieuously
accused
to
haue
prophaned
the
sacred
calling
of
vowed
Virgins
,
in
comming
to
the
monastery
of
Nunnes
where
his
wife
was
:
and
going
to
sée
them
oftentimes
in
very
dissolute
fashion
,
bringing
thither
musitians
with
him
,
reveling
and
dauncing
there
,
and
causing
them
to
sing
such
filthie
songs
,
as
wherewith
these
Virgins
were
greatly
scandalized
,
who
reputed
it
for
a
wonderfull
sinne
:
but
aboue
all
,
for
hauing
violated
some
of
them
,
and
amongest
the
rest
,
one
of
Boritz
Fendronitz
his
daughters
,
as
also
for
celebrating
his
nuptialles
on
the
festiuall
day
of
Saint
Nicholas
,
which
he
should
haue
held
in
great
reuerence
,
according
to
the
custome
of
all
the
country
.
And
further
,
that
he
had
the
image
of
the
holie
Virgin
Marie
standing
vppon
the
bolster
of
his
bed
,
when
he
went
to
lie
with
his
new
Spouse
:
For
making
little
accompt
of
monkes
and
Priests
,
but
causing
them
to
be
whipped
,
like
poore
beasts
,
if
they
mumbled
but
a
word
betwixt
their
teeth
,
that
he
had
béene
a
monke
himselfe
:
and
that
hée
borrowed
tenne
thousand
Roubles
out
of
a
Cloyster
,
to
repay
them
,
ad
calendar
Graecas
,
with
other
such
like
matters
.
Ninthly
,
he
was
accused
to
have
béene
the
Authour
,
and
occasion
of
a
great
spoyle
,
and
domage
,
which
fell
out
vppon
the
riuer
of
Volga
,
causing
himselfe
by
false
markes
to
be
proclaimed
the
sonne
of
Fender
Iuanouitz
,
whome
vnder
this
pretext
he
had
suborned
to
come
to
his
succour
,
with
many
thousand
Cosaques
,
to
be
the
more
secured
of
the
countrey
.
Surely
it
must
néedes
be
confessed
,
that
hée
was
the
cause
of
marueilous
ruine
to
the
country
,
for
all
the
Ports
of
Astracasses
were
sacked
,
and
all
the
goodes
and
marchandize
there
,
robbed
,
and
pilled
:
and
out
of
Persia
there
comes
great
and
inestimable
treasure
,
and
though
some
will
say
,
that
the
reuenews
of
all
the
countrey
of
Russie
amounteth
to
aboue
twelue
millions
:
so
we
must
suppose
too
,
that
all
this
was
too
little
for
such
a
prodigall
Steward
,
and
if
he
meant
to
continue
his
port
and
traine
as
hée
hadde
begunne
.
The
tenth
complaint
was
(
and
questionlesse
it
was
an
insupportable
thing
)
of
the
Polonian
insolencies
,
outrages
,
and
villanies
,
for
they
estéemed
the
Russes
but
as
dogges
,
threatning
them
euery
day
,
beating
them
like
slaues
,
and
saying
oftentimes
,
that
they
would
make
them
slaues
.
The
women
,
yea
the
Ladies
and
wiues
of
the
principallest
amongest
the
Boyars
,
durst
not
any
more
goe
abroade
in
the
stréetes
,
may
they
would
goe
and
seize
vpon
them
in
their
houses
and
lodgings
,
and
where
an
husband
walked
with
his
Wife
holding
her
by
the
hand
,
they
haue
cut
off
his
arme
,
and
led
away
his
Wife
.
Upon
all
these
complaintes
,
there
was
neuer
no
Justice
executed
.
It
so
happened
,
that
a
Polonian
was
to
be
put
to
death
,
for
an
offence
committed
,
and
as
they
led
the
malefactor
out
of
the
towne
,
the
Poles
issued
out
and
slew
the
executioner
,
and
frées
their
companion
,
so
that
this
scéemed
a
scourge
and
punishment
prepared
for
them
,
by
the
wrath
,
and
vengeance
of
god
.
They
further
alledge
,
infinit
other
faults
,
but
if
these
aboue
alleadged
,
onlie
are
true
,
such
a
barlet
well
deserued
death
:
yet
it
hadde
béene
much
more
laudable
,
to
haue
performed
it
,
by
course
of
Justice
.
Some
saide
,
that
a
little
before
the
verie
moment
of
his
death
,
he
requested
,
that
he
might
make
his
confession
publikely
,
before
all
the
world
,
but
it
was
then
too
late
:
I
am
of
opinion
,
if
he
had
borne
him selfe
more
mildely
,
without
medling
with
the
Polos
,
and
matched
with
some
Lady
of
the
countrey
,
applying
him selfe
to
their
humor
,
though
he
had
beene
baser
then
a
paunch
fed
Monke
,
yet
might
he
haue
kept
the
Crowne
on
his
head
:
but
I
beleeue
that
the
Pope
,
with
his
Seminaries
,
and
Jesuites
,
were
a
principal
cause
of
his
ruine
,
and
totall
subuersion
.
For
these
murderers
of
Princes
would
néedes
haue
made
a
Donke
,
too
quickly
,
and
they
as
suddenly
light
within
the
Bée
hiue
.
It
is
pitty
that
their
heads
,
were
no
better
shauen
,
but
they
were
transformed
,
too
cunningly
in
so
secular
habit
:
such
maskers
,
neuer
paint
themselues
lightly
,
but
in
gréene
.
I
beléeue
likewise
,
that
the
Polackes
,
will
take
héede
hereafter
,
how
they
bée
so
insolent
as
they
haue
béene
,
they
which
yet
remaine
here
behind
,
beare
themselues
,
and
goe
in
the
stréetes
as
meekely
as
Lambes
,
they
are
distributed
into
diuers
troupes
,
of
2.
and
3.
hundred
in
a
troupe
,
and
so
they
are
sent
to
Smolensko
,
and
Polotsko
,
some
horses
being
appoynted
them
for
their
conueyance
:
and
to
the
end
they
should
not
take
away
those
of
the
paisants
,
but
finding
their
guards
asléepe
,
they
killed
about
a
score
of
them
,
but
the
rest
awaking
,
reuenged
themselues
presently
upon
the
field
,
and
slew
about
sixe
and
thirty
Polonians
,
so
that
they
are
all
cast
into
gaoles
and
prisons
,
of
which
,
peradventure
not
one
shall
escape
.
I
iudge
that
in
al
,
there
came
short
home
about
twelue
hundred
Poles
,
and
foure
hundred
Russes
besides
.
An
Ambassador
is
sent
from
hence
,
into
Poland
,
to
informe
the
King
of
all
which
passed
héere
,
and
to
treate
of
a
peace
,
and
in
the
meane
while
,
the
Vayuod
must
stay
here
with
all
the
Lords
and
Gentlemen
about
him
(
and
so
according
to
the
aunswere
good
or
bad
,
which
hée
returnes
,
they
shall
be
held
or
released
.
)
It
is
reported
since
,
by
those
that
haue
lately
come
ouer
,
that
Iuan
Basiliuitz
sonne
,
the
right
Demetrius
,
was
by
this
present
Emperour
digged
out
of
his
graue
,
hauing
béene
fiftéene
yéeres
buried
before
at
Ouglitz
,
whom
hée
presented
to
the
view
of
many
,
his
body
being
yet
whole
and
entire
,
and
holding
nuttes
in
his
handes
,
with
which
hee
was
buried
,
using
to
play
with
them
when
hee
was
a
childe
.
Hee
is
inferred
in
the
Castell
Church
of
Archangell
,
amongest
the
Emperours
,
and
the
people
ascribe
vnto
him
the
working
of
myracles
,
which
they
say
are
daily
perfourmed
:
and
when
they
happen
,
generall
notice
is
giuen
thereof
,
by
the
sound
of
a
Bell.
They
are
determined
to
build
a
Church
ouer
him
,
and
to
worship
him
as
a
Saint
.
These
be
the
principallest
of
such
occurrences
as
hapned
in
this
Cittie
,
I
beseech
God
to
preserue
vs
from
a
greater
sedition
yet
suspected
.
The
fiftéenth
day
of
June
the
like
beganne
againe
,
for
this
acursed
vulgar
are
euer
hungry
after
boote
and
spoile
,
they
would
faine
euery
day
beginne
againe
their
former
garboiles
,
but
this
last
commotion
was
presently
pacified
by
the
Boyars
.
