The
king
conquereth
the
Dutchie
of
Milan
,
Lodouic
Sforce
recouereth
it
,
and
presently
after
loseth
it
againe
,
and
both
hee
and
his
brother
Cardinall
Ascanius
are
caried
prisoners
into
France
.
THis
matter
of
deuorce
hauing
succeeded
according
to
the
Kings
desier
,
hee
made
peace
with
all
his
neighbours
round
about
him
,
namely
with
Ferdinande
King
of
Aragon
,
Maximilian
King
of
Romaines
and
Archduc
Philip
his
sonne
,
and
with
Henry
King
of
England
,
which
beeing
done
hee
presently
leuied
men
,
and
made
friends
on
all
sides
,
purposing
to
inuade
the
Dutchie
of
Milan
,
held
still
as
yet
by
Lodouic
Sforce
surnamed
the
Moore
,
the
selfe
same
that
called
King
Charles
the
eight
into
Italie
as
before
you
haue
heard
:
which
also
the
King
soone
conquered
,
for
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
saide
Lodouic
was
hated
of
his
owne
people
,
as
well
because
of
his
great
tirannie
,
as
also
for
poysoning
his
Nephew
right
heire
of
Milan
,
at
the
least
heire
before
him
.
Farther
hee
was
fallen
out
with
his
best
friends
the
Venetians
about
Pisa
,
who
also
partly
for
extreame
hatred
that
they
bare
against
him
:
and
partly
for
greedinesse
of
Cremona
&
the
countrey
of
Guyradadda
,
which
the
king
promised
them
for
their
part
of
the
victorie
:
dyd
not
onely
incourage
the
king
to
passe
into
Italie
and
inuade
Milan
,
but
entered
also
into
league
with
him
,
so
that
the
saide
Lodouic
was
destitute
of
all
help
,
the
Pope
and
the
Venetians
beeing
in
league
with
the
King
,
and
the
poore
King
of
Naples
Frederic
vnable
to
defend
his
owne
,
much
lesse
to
giue
Lodouic
any
ayde
.
So
that
after
the
French
armie
had
taken
La
Roccad'Arazza
,
Anon
,
Valentia
,
Basignane
,
voghera
,
Chasteauneuf
,
Pontcorona
,
and
Tortona
:
and
that
Galeas
of
Saint
Seuerin
to
his
great
reproch
,
had
through
cowardise
abandoned
Alexandria
and
Dertona
,
and
that
Pauia
had
of
their
owne
accord
receiued
the
French
,
the
Venetians
also
inuading
the
said
Dutchie
of
Milan
on
the
other
side
:
the
said
Lodouic
astonished
with
the
losse
of
so
manie
townes
,
mistrusting
his
owne
people
,
and
beeing
abandoned
of
all
his
friends
&
principall
seruants
:
fled
with
his
children
and
a
great
masse
of
monie
to
the
Emperour
Maximilian
into
Germanie
,
presently
after
whose
departure
the
Citie
of
Milan
yeelded
to
the
French
,
the
Castle
being
also
deliuered
vnto
them
by
the
treason
of
Bernardin
de
Corte
Captaine
thereof
.
Soone
after
the
whole
state
of
Genoua
submitted
it selfe
likewise
to
the
King
,
and
Cremona
with
the
Countrey
of
Guyradadda
were
deliuered
to
the
Venetians
according
to
the
Kings
promise
.
In
eight
daies
Lodouic
lost
this
ritch
and
noble
Dutchie
,
so
small
assurance
is
in
worldly
honors
.
The
king
hauing
setled
the
state
of
Milan
,
&
abated
the
excessiue
exactions
that
they
paide
in
Lodouics
time
,
to
the
great
though
not
to
the
full
contentment
of
the
people
,
for
they
looked
to
haue
had
all
paiments
cleane
abolished
and
taken
away
,
and
hauing
giuen
forces
to
the
Duke
of
Valentinoys
for
the
recouerie
of
those
townes
in
Romania
that
appertained
to
the
Church
:
returned
to
Lyons
,
where
hee
was
welcommed
with
new
ioyes
beecause
of
the
birth
of
his
Daughter
Claude

By

BVT
this
Ptinces

not
beeing
satisfied
with
one
good
And
to
the
end
hee
mought
obtayne
the
victorie
without
any
resistaunce
,
hee
determined
to
make
the
KING
of
SPAINE
partaker
with
him
of
the
bootie
,
least
hee
beeing
a
neighbour
in
the
I
le
of
SICILE
to
the
Realme
of
NAPLES
and
a
kinseman
to
the
King
thereof
,
and
hauing
also
forces
alreadie
entered
into
the
Countrey
for
the
sayde
Kings
defence
:
should
hinder
his
conquest
of
the
saide
Realme
.
This
offer
was
soone
embraced
by
the
KING
of
SPAINE
,
who
beeing
receyued
into
the
strong
places
of
the
saide
Realme
of
NAPLES
,
vnder
colour
of
defending
them
for
KING
FREDERIC
,
detayned
them
for
him selfe
and
vtterlie
ruinated
the
sayde
FREDERIC
,
notwithstanding
both
the
trust
that
hee
had
reposed
in
the
KING
of
SPAINE
,
and
the
neere
kindred
that
was
beetweene
them
.
Thus
FREDERIC
beeing
at
one
instant
inuaded
by
the
FRENCH
and
beetrayed
by
the
SPANIARD
,
yeelded
his
Realme
in
despite
of
the
sayde
KING
of
SPAINE
into
the
handes
of
KING
LEWIS
,
and
went
with
him
into
FRAVNCE
,
where
hee
liued
in
verye
honourable
estate
till
his
death
.
But
his
sonne
Ferdinand
Duke
of
Calabria
,
whome
Consalue
the
king
of
Spaines
generall
in
the
saide
Realme
of
Naples
,
had
giuen
his
oath
to
set
at
libertie
,
so
soone
as
he
should
bee
deliuered
into
his
hands
:
was
notwithstanding
the
sayd
oath
sent
into
Spayne
to
the
king
of
ARAGON
,
where
(
after
manie
yeeres
imprisonment
)
hee
marryed
in
the
yeare
1522.
with
the
LADIE
GERMANE
of
FOIX
,
widdow
of
the
saide
KING
of
ARAGON
,
a
rich
LADIE
but
barrayne
,
which
marriage
was
made
by
the
EMPEROVR
CHARLES
,
who
greatly
fauoured
the
saide
Duke
of
Calabria
,
because
hee
had
refused
to
be
taken
out
of
La
Rocca
Sciatiua
,
which
was
the
prison
wherin
he
lay
,
and
to
bee
made
head
of
a
rebellion
that
happened
in
Spaine
called
La
Santa
giunta
whereof
heereafter
mention
shall
bee
made
.
This
Ferdinand
Duke
of
Calabria
was
the
last
of
the
race
of
the
first
Alfonse
King
of
Naples
,
for
two
of
his
bretheren
died
before
him
,
one
in
Italy
the
other
in
Fraunce
.
But
to
returne
to
the
History
,
the
treason
of
the
King
of
Spaine
towardes
King
Frederic
was
no
greater
in
this
action
,
than
the
error
of
the
king
of
Fraunce
,
as
the
sequele
well
delared
.
For
whereas
the
saide
Frederic
offered
King
Lewis
to
hold
the
Realme
of
Naples
of
him
,
and
to
pay
him
for
it
yeerely
a
great
tribute
,
by
meanes
whereof
no
man
should
haue
commaunded
in
the
saide
Realme
but
his
tributarie
king
(
who
alwaies
must
haue
depended
vpon
him
)
and
himselfe
:
he
now
called
in
a
neighbour
PRINCE
,
though
not
so
mightie
yet
much
more
subtill
than
himselfe
,
and
deuided
the
kingdome
with
him
beeing
obtayned
by
his
owne
money
and
his
owne
subiectes
blood
,
and
soone
after
lost
the
whole
to
his
owne
great
dishonor
and
damage
.
For
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
very
next
yeere
after
the
partition
made
of
the
sayde
Realme
beetweene
Monsieur
de
la
Palisse
.
And
notwithstanding
that
by
the
entermise
of
Archduc
Philip
sonne
in
law
to
the
king
of
Spaine
(
who
this
yeere
came
into
Fraunce
)
a
peace
was
concluded
betweene
the
kings
of
Fraunce
and
Spaine
,
vpon
the
securitie
whereof
king
Lewis
wholy
reposing
himselfe
,
forbare
to
send
new
supplies
to
NAPLES
:
yet
the
king
of
Spaine
very
cunningly
delayed
the
confirmation
of
the
sayde
peace
beecause
hee
saw
his
affaires
to
prosper
well
in
Italie
through
the
French
kings
ouergreat
credulitie
and
negligence
,
and
in
the
end
flatly
disauowed
al
his
sonne
in
laws
actions
.
And
Consalue
his
Generall
in
the
sayde
Realme
of
NAPLES
notwithstanding
the
Archducs
commaundements
often
sent
vnto
him
to
surcease
all
Hostilitie
in
those
parts
:
not
onely
refused
so
to
doe
because
hee
receiued
noe
such
commaundement
from
his
Master
,
but
also
proceeded
still
in
his
conquests
,
and
wanne
from
the
French
diuers
townes
,
defeated
the
Duke
of
ATRY
who
led
certaine
French
bandes
and
tooke
him
prisoner
,
and
afterward
also
ouerthrew
Monsieur
d'Aubigny
and
tooke
him
prisoner
,
and
lastlie
at
the
battayle
of
Cirignolles
vanquished
the
whole
power
of
france
,
and
slew
in
the
fielde
with
diuers
noble
men
the
braue
Duke
of
NEMOVRS
generall
of
the
French
forces
.
Farther
the
sayde
Consalue
vsing
the
benefit
of
this
victorie
marched
presently
before
Naples
,
and
without
resistance
entered
into
the
towne
and
reduced
it
to
the
obedience
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
and
soone
after
tooke
also
the
Castles
,
and
conquered
almost
the
whole
Realme
.
In
the
meane
time
dyed
Pope
ALEXANDER
the
sixt
,
and
PIVS
the
third
was
chosen
Pope
,
who
dying
also
at
the
ende
of
sixe
and
twentie
dayes
,
the
Cardinall
Petri
ad
Vincula
(
so
often
mentioned
in
the
warrs
of
Charles
the
eight
)
succeeded
by
the
name
of
IVLIVS
the
second
.
The
King
in
the
meane
time
made
great
preparation
to
recouer
his
Realme
of
NAPLES
so
shamefully
and
dishonorably
lost
,
and
entered
as
farre
as
the
Riuer
GARILLIANO
called
LIRIS
in
auncient
times
,
where
diuers
attempts
were
made
by
the
French
to
passe
the
sayde
Riuer
,
which
all
were
ouerthrowen
and
brought
to
nought
by
the
wisdome
and
industrie
of
Consalue
.
In
the
ende
,
what
through
want
of
victualls
and
lack
of
money
which
the
kings
officers
most
shamefullie
detayned
from
them
,
by
meanes
also
whereof
the
companies
that
the
King
payed
were
not
halfe
compleat
:
what
through
foule
weather
and
what
through
the
industrie
and
diligence
of
Consalue
who
tooke
aduauntage
of
all
these
their
disorders
:
the
French
were
forced
to
abandon
their
fortes
vppon
the
sayde
Riuer
,
and
to
retire
to
CAIETTA
which
they
yet
held
,
whether
not
onely
the
sayde
inconueniences
accompanied
them
,
but
also
Consalue
with
all

pursued

beesieged

A
confederacie
is
made
at
Cambray
against
the
venetians
,
the
french
ouerthrow
them
at
the
battell
of
Guyradadda
.
SOone
after
this
,
the
practise
aboue
mentioned
The
Popes
quarell
you
haue
already
heard
,
and
the
cause
of
the
french
kings
displeasure
towards
them
I
haue
in
part
touched
also
before
,
&
said
it
was
for
that
they
refused
to
ayde
him
in
his
wars
of
Naples
according
to
their
league
,
which
was
the
onely
losse
of
the
said
realme
as
he
said
.
But
in
very
deede
his
principall
hatred
against
them
,
was
because
they
held
Cremona
&
the
countries
of
Guiradadda
members
of
the
Duchie
of
Milan
which
notwithstanding
that
they
wer
deliuered
to
them
by
his
own
agreement
,
at
such
time
as
they
aided
him
to
chace
Lodouic
Sforce
out
of
the
said
duchie
:
yet
now
considering
their
ingratitude
towards
him
,
&
withall
how
necessary
those
countries
were
for
the
strength
&
defence
of
the
said
Duchie
of
Milan
:
he
determined
to
recouer
them
againe
into
his
owne
hands
.
Maximilian
and
the
Archduc
Charles
his
Nephew
had
an
auncient
quarell
to
them
,
first
for
Verona
,
Padoua
,
vinc●nse
and
diuers
other
townes
with
helde
from
the
Empire
,
and
secondarelie
for
the
countries
of
Friull
and
Treuisa
,
which
they
with hold
from
the
house
of
Austria
.
Besides
that
Maximillians
quarrell
was
lately
greatlie
increased
,
for
euen
in
this
very
yeere
1508
,
they
had
not
onely
denied
him
passage
through
their
countries
for
his
souldiers
,
whose
passage
he
pretended
to
be
onely
because
he
ment
to
goe
to
take
the
crowne
imperiall
at
Rome
,
though
they
knew
well
the
contrarie
:
but
had
also
defeated
his
companies
being
entred
into
their
dominions
by
force
.
And
notwithstanding
that
they
had
reason
so
to
doe
knowing
his
purpose
to
be
no
thing
lesse
then
that
which
he
pretended
,
&
that
he
came
with
a
resolution
to
surprise
those
places
which
he
claimed
to
be
his
:
yet
this
defeate
of
his
men
exasperated
him
not
a
little
against
them
,
for
few
Princes
can
endure
the
contrarying
of
their
wills
be
it
neuer
so
iustly
done
.
The
king
of
Spaine
likewise
hated
them
because
they
held
in
the
realme
of
Naples
certaine
townes
engaged
to
them
by
Ferdinand
King
of
Naples
in
the
warrs
of
Charles
the
eight
,
which
by
no
meanes
they
would
restore
.
Thus
all
these
princes
beeing
animated
against
them
,
a
generalleague
was
concluded
among
them
against
the
said
Venetians
at
Cambray

and
Aluiana
sayde
through

cowardise

malice
,
who
would
not
ayde
him
with
his
troups
beecause
the
battaile
was
fought
against
his

But
howsoeuer

certaine
it
is
that
the

lost
in
this

10000

,
and
Aluiana

was
taken
prisoner
therein
.
This

The
Venetians
are
reconciled
to
the
Pope
and
the
King
of
Aragon
,
all
they
three
toyne
together
against
the
King
.
The
Swyssers
also
beecome
the
Kings
enemies
,
the
quarell

and
the
Duke
of

,

The

The

the
whole
Realme
of
Fraunce
.
The
battayle
of
Rauenna
wherein
the
Pope
and
his
confederats
are
ouerthrowen
.
THE
Venetians
beeing
thus
low
brought
and
seeing
so
many
princes
against
them
,
determined
to
take
some
course
to
dissolue
this
confederacie
,
wherfore
they
humbled
themselues
first
vnto
the
Pope
,
and
found
meanes
to
be
reconciled
vnto
him
,
for
you
shal
vnderstand
that
after
this
victorie
aboue
mentioned
,
partly
commiseration
of
the
venetians
moued
him
to
fauour
them
,
but
especially
the
kings
greatnesse
in
Italie
beecame
very
odious
&
terrible
vnto
him
,
in
such
sort
that
he
also
secretly
withdrew
the
king
of
Aragon
from
the
kings
friendship
,
&
ioyned
him
in
league
with
the
Venetians
:
they
restoring
vnto
him
the
ports
in
Pouille
aboue
mencioned
which
they
held
:
and
the
Pope
himselfe
putting
him
into
a
continuall
ielousie
that
if
the
french
affaires
prospered
in
Italie
,
he
should
bee
constrained
againe
to
fight
for
the
realme
of
Naples
,
notwithstanding
his
mariage
with
the
kings
niece
.
But
in
very
truth
the
thing
that
most
troubled
the
Pope
,
&
most
caused
him
to
enuie
the
kings
good
successe
,
was
ielousie
of
his
owne
estate
,
beecause
many
cardinalls
hated
him
,
and
obiected
many
crimes
against
him
,
all
the
which
had
intelligence
with
the
king
,
wherfore
the
saide
Pope
to
the
ende
hee
mought
omit
no
thing
that
tended
to
the
ouerthrow
of
the
kings
proceedings
&
these
Cardinalls
practises
,
hiered
the
Swyssers
But
the
nauie
aboue
mentioned
appoynted
to
inuade
Genoua
was
ouerthrowen
and
dispersed
by
the
French
nauie
,
and
so
all
the
Popes
enterprises
against
the
king
fayled
and
came
to
naught
,
farther
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
Pope
had
a
quarell
to
the
Duke
of
Ferrara
,
as
well
for
certaine
townes
which
hee
withheld
from
the
Church
:
as
also
for
selling
of
salt
at
Comache
without
the
Popes
permission
,
which
thing
beeing
his
vassall
hee
mought
not
doe
as
the
Pope
sayde
,
for
the
which
cause
hee
inuaded
his
countries
,
but
the
king
to
requite
the
Popes
disloyaltie
and
ingratitude
towards
him
,
receiued
the
Duke
into
his
protection
and
defended
him
against
the
Pope
,
which
not
a
litle
increased
their
euill
will
.

But
to
returne
to
the
Historie
.
In
the
battaile
of
Rauenna
aboue
mentioned
,
the
Pope
with
his
confederats
namely
the
king
of
Aragon
&
the
Venetians
wer
ouerthrowen
.
But
Monsieur
de
Foix
the
kings
nephew
&
generall
of
his
forces
,
through
his
owne
to
great
hardinesse
or
rather
rashnesse
,
pursuing
his
enimies
with
a
small
troupe
was
entrapped
and
slaine
,
whose
death
the
king
tooke
so
greuously
that
he
wished
he
had
redemed
his
life
with
the
losse
of
al
that
he
held
in
Italie
.
The
said
de
Foix
his
death
so
astonished
the
French
armie
though
victorious
,
that
for
want
of
a
generall
sufficient
to
supplie
his
place
,
they
pursewed
not
the
victorie
as
they
ought
to
hauedone
,
but
gaue
their
enemies
libertie
to
breath
&
repaire
their
forces
,
which
if
they
had
not
done
,
the
king
mought
not
onely
haue
recouered
the
realme
of
NAPLES
,
but
also
haue
disposed
of
all
the
rest
of
Italie
as
it
had
pleased
himselfe
.
Rauenna

sacked
in

Aeter
this
victorie
the
king
returned
to
celebrate
the
counsell
of
Pisa
,
and
by
authoritie
thereof
to
deposse
the
Pope
,
hauing
the
Emperour
Maximilian
in
apparance
concurring
with
him
,
and
as
some
report
affecting
the
Papacie
for
himself
,
&
meaning
to
resigne
the
empire
to
his
nephew
Charles
though
as
yet
but
a
childe
.
Notwithstanding
soone
after
secretly
hee
reconciled
himselfe
to
the
Pope
,
&
vtterly
abandoned
the
French
.
But
the
Pope
by
the
ouerthrow
which
he
had
receiued
at
Rauenna
,
and
the
great
charges
he
had
sustained
in
these
wars
the
burthen
wherof
had
lyen
vppon
his
shoulders
,
beeing
brought
to
great
pouertie
,
and
doubting
also
what
would
bee
the
isheu
of
the
schisme
in
the
Church
:
sought
for
peace
with
the
king
,
onely
crauing
at
his
hands
that
hee
would
relinquish
the
protection
of
the
duke
of
Ferrara
,
which
the
king
vtterly
refusing
,
the
Pope
fell
farther
out
of
pacience
with
him
then
euer
hee
was
beefore
.
And
so
happely
it
came
to
passe
at
that
very
instant
for
the
Popes
affaires
,
that
the
king
of
Aragon
sent
him
a
secret
message
to
perswade
him
to
continue
the
warres
against
the
French
,
assuring
him
of
his
ayde
which
thing
the
king
of
Aragon
dyd
,
thereby
to
distract
the
kings
forces
,
while
hee
inuaded
the
Realme
of
Nauarra
,
which
hee
was
fully
resolued
to
attempt
.
And
farther
Monsieur
de
la
Palisse
generall
of
the
Kings
forces
after
Monsieur
de
Foix
his
death
,
was
constrayned
to
depart
out
of
Romania
with
his
victorious
armie
to
the
defence
of
the
Duchie
of
Milan
fearing
that
the
Swyssers
would
inuade
it
as
indeede
they
dyd
,
wherefore
the
Pope
by
these
occasions
hauing
recouered
his
spirits
,
and
being
now
more
animated
against
the
king
then
euer
,
first
continued
his
spirituall
armes
by
celebrating
the
counsell
of
Lateran
against
him
,
and
afterwards
stirred
vp
not
onely
the
Venetians
,
but
also
Maximilian
the
Emperour
,
the
King
of
England
&
Spaine
,
and
the
Swyssers
to
bee
his
enemies
.
These
Swyssers
as
before
you
haue
heard
had
abandoned
the
kings
seruice
because
through
couetousnesse
hee
would
not
augment
their
wages
,
and
were
entered
into
the
Popes
paye
,
which
his
error
the
king
wold
willingly
haue
reformed
afterwards
,
and
haue
recouered
them
to
his
seruice
againe
,
but
neuer
could
till
his
dying
day
.
The
king
seeing
all
the
Princes
his
neighboures
in
armes
against
him
by
the
Popes
practises
,
was
constrained
to
withdraw
his
forces
out
of
Italie
for
the
defence
of
his
owne
Realme
by
meanes
wherof
the
Pope
and
the
Venetians
preuayled
so
mightely
in
Italie
,
that
they
recouered
all
the
townes
that
were
helde
by
the
French
namely
Bolonia
,
Cremona
,
and
diuers
other
,
Parma
also
and
Placentia
yeelded
themselues
to
the
Pope
,
yea
and
the
King
lost
his
Duchie
of
Milan
,
which
was
deliuered
to
Maximilian
Sforce
(
sonne
of
Lodouic
that
died
prisoner
in
France
)
vnder
the
protection
and
defence
of
the
Swyssers
.
The
state
of
Genoua
likewise
reuolted
from
the
king
,
by
meanes
of
Ianus
Fregose
who
was
made
duke
thereof
,
&
the
Duke
of
Ferrara
was
forced
to
make
his
submission
to
the
Pope
and
to
abandon
the
French
,
so
that
the
king
held
nothing
at
all
in
Italie
saue
a
few
castles
namely
that
of
Milan
&
the
castle
of
Cremona
,
which
continued
French
still
till
the
next
yeare
after
the
battayle
of
Nouara
,
when
for
want
of
victualls
they
were
forced
to
yeeld
themselues
into
the
Duke
of
Milans
hands
,
but
all
the
rest
the
King
lost
almost
in
a
moment
and
withall
all
his
friends
,
a
strange
conuersion
of
Fortune
that
the
King
being
conquerour
lost
all
,
and
the
Pope
and
the
Venetians
being
conquered
wanne
all
.
But
in
truth
they
sayled
not
with
their
owne
winde
but
with
other
mens
,
for
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
had
at
that
time
to
many
enemies
by
the
Popes
practises
and
to
few
friends
.
Now
to
leaue
a
while
the
affaires
of
Italie
and
to
come
to
the
warres
in
Fraunce
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
kings
of
England
and
Spaine
determined
to
inuade
Guyenne
.
But
the
king
of
Spaine
pretending
the
Realme
of
Nauarra
to
bee
of
great
importance
for
the
defence
of
the
sayde
Countrey
of
Guyenne
:
perswaded
the
english
men
first
to
assault
that
,
&
from
thence
to
enter
into
Guyenne
,
according
wherevnto
they
did
,
&
soone
toke
it
being
void
of
defence
&
not
expecting
any
war
,
which
conquest
being
achieued
,
and
the
sayde
Realme
of
Nauarra
deliuered
into
the
king
of
Spaines
hands
,
the
said
king
with
faier
words
dismissed
the
English
men
,
giuing
his
son
in
law
the
king
of
England
leaue
to
inuade
Guyenne
with
his
owne
forces
if
he
would
,
For
he
had
alredie
obtained
his
pray
,
by
meanes
wherof
the
English
men
being
disappointed
of
his
ayde
,
were
forced
to
returne
home
.
And
notwithstanding
that
the
king
of
Fraunce
after
the
English
mens
departure
,
attempted
to
recouer
the
said
realme
of
Nauarra
:
yet
could
he
not
doe
it
because
of
his
great
affaires
else
where

ABout
this
time
died
Pope
Iulius
,
to
whome
succeded
Leo
the
tenth
of
the
house
of
Medices
,
Farther
the
king
entered
also
into
league
with
the
Venetians
who
promised
to
ayde
him
with
800
men
of
armes
,
1500
light

,
and
10000
foote
men
,
for
the
recouerie
of

&
the

,
and
hee
promised
to
ayde
them
till
they
had
recouered
all
that
they
held
in
Lombardie
,
and
in
the
Marca
Treuisana
before
the
league
of
Cambray
.
Thus
the
king
being
ioyned
with
the
Venetians
,
&
in
truce
with
the
king
of
Aragon
,
inuaded
the
Duchie
of

with
a
mightie
armie
,
and
first
recouered
Genoua
,
and
then
all
the
Duchie
of

saue
Nouara
and
Coma
,
which
held
yet
for
Maximilian
Sforce
,
Farther
the
French
armie
vnder
the
leading
of
Trimouille
went
and
beesieged
Nouara
,
but
this
their
good
successe
in
the
beginning
was
ouerthrowen
in
the
twinkeling
of
an
eye
,
for
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
Swyssers
who
had
bound
themselues
to
the
defence
of
the
sayde
Duchie
of
Milan
as
before
you
haue
heard
,
came
to
leauie
the
siege
of
Nouara
,
&
had
the
french
in
so
great
contempt
that
they
assaulted
them
vpon
a
sodaine
,
and
defeated
them
in
their
owne
camp
,
which
was
one
of
the
noblest
victories
that
euer
any
nation
obtayned
.
This
battaile
is
called
the
battayle
of
Nouara
.
After
this
victorie
all
the
Duchie
of
Milan
reuolted
in
a
moment
,
chaced
away
the
French
,
and
returned
to
the
obedience
of
Maximilian
Sforce
,
and
the
king
by
this
ouerthrow
,
lost
his
honor
,
his
treasure
,
and
all
that
he
held
in
Italie
as
well
Genoua
as
the
whole
Duchie
of
Milan
,
yea
and
the
Castels
of

&
Cremona
which
in
all
these

had
still

beeing
in

into
the
Duke
of

hands
,
and
the
Kings
armie
in
great
feare
and
distresse
returned
into
Piemont
.
The
Venetian
forces
vnder
the
leading
of
Aluiana
were
comming
to
ioyne
with
the
French
,
but
hearing
of
the
ouerthrow
they
retired
to
Padoua
,
whether
the
Viceroy

and
PROSPERO
COVLONNE
beeing
in

of

towne
pursewed
them
and
charged
them
,
which
charge
they
valyauntly
receaued

&
through
the
vertue
of
the
Spanish
footmen
and
cowardise
of
the
Italian
footemen
the
Venetian
armie
was
ouerthrowen
,

lost
all

without

made
a

more
necessarie
than
honorable
for

which
was
this
,
that

renounce

The

they
excused
the
matter
because

receaued

in
truth
their
greedinesse
of

was
the
principall

A
discourse
of
certaine
vertues
and
vices
of
King
Lewis
the
twelfth
.
BEtweene
this
King
Lewis
and
Pope
Iulius
the
2.
aboue
mentioned
was
deadly
hatred
,
as
by
the
Historie
aboue
written
easely
you
may
perceiue
,
so
farre
foorth
that
they
pursewed
one
an
other
not
onely
with
armes
but
also
with
gybes
&
scoffes
.
The
Pope
accused
the
king
of
sacriledge
wherevnto
the
king
answered
that
it
was
most
absurde
for
him
to
accuse
an
other
of
sacrilige
that
miantained
his
estate
onely
by
sale
of
holy
things
,
for
the
Pope
made
money
of
al
ecclesiasticall
liuings
&
dignities
,
againe
when
the
king
heard
that
the
Pope
had
extremely
cursed
him
hee
aunswered
that
this
was
a
Pope
made
to
curse
but
not
to
pray
,
sarther
the
Pope
called
the
french
Micturi
vinos
,
that
is
to
say
winepissers
,
noting
thereby
their
immoderate
drincking
of
wyne
,
which
(
as
he
said
)
issued
as
it
entered
,
but
this
gibe
euell
besemed
the
Pope
being
himselfe
more
giuen
to
drinke
then
any
man
in
his
time
.
But
the
French
partly
to
requite
this
scoffe
,
&
partly
to
content
the
king
,
made
these
verses
of
the
Pope
.

But
to
returne
to
king
Lewis
,
he
was
a
prince
subiect
to
great
varietie
of
Fortune
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
both
before
he
was
King
&
after
,
but
especially
towards
his
later
end
she
most
frouned
vpon
him
,
as
in
this
briefe
discourse
of
his
actions
is
plainely
to
bee
seene
,
his
vices
were
,
in
his
youth
loue
of
women
,
and
in
his
age
couetousnesse
,
which
caused
him
to
loose
many
opportunities
,
besides
that
hee
was
a
prince
wholy
gouerned
by
others
,
but
his
good
fortune
was
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
honorable
personages
,
and
such
as
gouerned
his
Realme
well
.
Farther
he
was
also
charged
with
ingratitude
,
both
towards
his
wife
who
had
saued
his
life
,
and
also
towards
some
with
whom
hee
had
liued
familiarlie
beefore
his
comming
to
the
crowne
,
namely
the
Marshall
Gyé
,
whom
also
hee
banished
the
court
,
notwithstanding
the
great
seruice
that
hee
had
done
the
Realme
.
But
herein
he
is
partly
to
be
excused
,
for
the
said
Marshalls
banishment
proceeded
principally
from
the
Queene
who
hated
him
extreamlie
,
because
the
sayde
marshall
had
oncc
stayed
hir
cariage
vpon
the
Riuer
of
Loyre
,
wherein
she
had
packed
vp
all
the
kings
principall
Iuells
,
Plate
,
and
other
things
of
great
price
,
and
the
which
shee
was
conueighing
downe
the
sayde
Riuer
to
Nantes
,
the
King
being
at
that
time
very
sick
and
in
great
daunger
of
death
.
This
king
was
also
giuen
to
suspicions
,
but
that
is
a
fault
all
princes
are
subject
to
,
especially
all
those
that
be
wise
,
on
the
other
side
this
king
was
beautified
with
many
goodly
vertues
,
first
hee
was
so
louing
and
carefull
of
his
people
,
that
in
all
his
forraine
warres
hee
could
neuer
be
induced
to
increase
his
impositions
vpon
his
subiects
,
true
it
is
that
when
he
was
inuaded
in
his
owne
Realme
,
he
was
forced
to
leauie
of
them
somewhat
more
then
ordinarie
,
for
the
which
his
milde
gouernment
he
was
called
Pater
patriae
,
so
iusta
Prince
he
was
(
where
the
necessitie
of
his
affaires
enforced
him
not
to
the
contrarie
)
that
the
Archduc
Philip
committed
to
him
at
his
death
the
gouernment
of
his
sonne
Charles
,
omitting
both
his
owne
father
and
his
father
in
law
,
being
both
Graundfathers
to
the
said
Childe
,
which
charge
king
Lewis
most
princely
performed
as
well
in
the
education
of
the
sayde
Charles
afterwards
Emperour
,
as
also
in
the
preseruation
of
all
his
estate
.
Farther
he
was
a
prince
voide
of
all
pride
,
affable
,
and
curteous
to
all
men
,
and
liuing
in
great
quietnesse
&
mildenesse
,
with
those
that
were
familiar
with
him
,
and
the
soonest
forgetting
all
iniuries
past
,
so
that
I
cannot
better
compare
him
to
any
prince
then
to
the
Emperour
ADRIAN
,
whose
pleasant
answeres
and
Apophthegmes
being
voide
of
all
scurrilitie
hee
was
also
much
addicted
vnto
,
some
of
the
which
because
they
bee
worthie
of
memorie
I
will
be
bould
to
rehearse
.
Hee
had
in
king
Charles
his
time
beene
euell
vsed
by
diuers
,
of
whom
hee
was
aduised
to
take
reuenge
at
his
comming
to
the
crowne
,
wherevnto
hee
aunswered
that
it
became
not
a
king
of
Fraunce
to
reuenge
the
iniuries
done
to
a
Duke
of
Orleans
.
Likewise
looking
vppon
the
roule
of
King
Charles
his
seruaunts
,
he
found
two
that
had
been
his
deadly
enimies
in
King
Charles
his
time
,
vpon
each
of
whose
names
he
made
a
crosse
,
wherewith
they
being
in
a
wonderfull
perplexitie
,
supposed
the
galowes
to
be
prepared
for
them
,
which
their
feare
being
discouered
to
the
king
:
he
sent
them
word
to
bee
of
good
cheare
,
for
hee
had
crossed
all
their
euell
deedes
out
of
his
remembraunce
,
hee
vsed
to
say
that
the
condition
of
horsses
was
much
worse
then
Asses
,
for
Horsses
were
killed
vp
in
running
post
to
Rome
to
fetch

for
Asses
,
meaning

,
when
the

by

thought
to
bring
to
passe
a
mariage
betwene
hir
daughter
Claude
&

,
the

told
hir

Againe
when

after
the

,
the
said
Charles
king
of

was
elected
Emperour
,
notwithstanding
all
the
impediments
of
the
king
,
and
the
great
sute
both
he
and
his
friends
had
made
to
obtaine
the
Empire
for
himselfe
,
but
god
had
otherwise
disposed
of
it
.
Wherefore
the
king
hauing
failed
of
his
hope
for
the
obtaining
of
the
Empire
,
and
seeing
the
powre
of
the
Emperour
elect
so
greatly
to
increase
:
determined
to
enter
into
a
straight
confederacie
&
alliance
with
the
king
of
England
,
to
whom
he
sent
Ambassadors
to
treate
of
a

betwen

:
and
with
so
great
demonstrations
of
loue
betweene
the
two
Princes
,
that
the
like
was
not
seene
in
many
hundred
yeares
before
.
For
besides
the
roiall
&
sumptuous
entertainment
that
they
gaue
each
to
other
,
such
brotherly
loue
and
assurance
was
betwene
them
,
that
in
one
day
the
two
kings
went
&
dined
each
with
others
Queene
,
and
farther
one
morning
verie
earely
the
king
of
Fraunce
came
with
a
small
traine
to
Guysnes
before
the
king
of
England
was
stirring
,
and
tould
him
that
he
was
come
to
yeld
him selfe
his
prisoner
in
his
Castle
of
Guysnes
,
whereunto
the
King
of
England
answered
that
he
was
come
to
take
his
hart
his
prisoner
which
was
a
verie
readie
&
an
apt
answere
.
To
conclude
such
signes
of
perfect
loue
&
amitie
passed
betwen
these
two
princes
by
the
space
of
15.
or
16.
dayes
(
for
so
long
they
were
together
)
that
all
men
thought
their
friendship
to
be
indissoluble
,
&
that
war
could
neuer
arise
betwene
them
,
but
it
happened
otherwise
afterwards
,
whereby
it
appereth
that
he
spake
truth
that
said
Princes
amitie
to
be
no
inheritance
.
Not
long
after
this
enteruiew
aboue
mentioned
,
the
new
Emperour
elect
ariued
in
England
,
where
contrarie
to
the
king
of
Fraunce
his
expectation
,
he
was
most
honorably
receaued
,
in
such
sort
that
the
King
of
England
accompanied
him
to
Calais
&
afterwards
to
Grauelin
,
where
they
were
together
a
certaine
space
in
great
friendship
and
fraternitie
,
and
where
diuers
things
were
concluded
betwene
them
no
whit
to
the
contentation
of
the
King
of
Fraunce
.
Among
other
articles
this
was
one
,
that
what
controuersie
soeuer
happened
beetweene
the
Emperour
and
the
King
,
the
King
of
England
should
bee
the
iudge
thereof
;

article
beecause

,
the

toke

Notwithstanding

not

betwene
them

as
well

which
the
Spaniards
called

bee
appeased
till

,
that
feare
of
the

enemy

caused
the

was
vnpacefed
,
to

The

armie
at
the
first
had
good
successe
,
&
recouered
in
effect
the
whole
Realme
.
But
the
French
Captains
puffed
vp
with
pride
because
of
this
conquest
,
&
moued
also
with
couetousnesse
,
hoping
to
obtaine
some
goodly
bootie
in
Spaine
,
beecause
of
the
great
diuision
the
countrey
was
in
,
entered
into
the
Realme
as
farre
as
the
Groyne
,
which
their
inuasion
vnited
the
Spainards
together
that
beefore
were
in
diuision
,
in
such
sort
that
they
set
vpon
the
French
,
and
not
onely
chaced
them
out
of
Spaine
,
but
also
pursewing
them
farther
entered
into
Nauarra
,
from
whence
the
Kings
armie
beeing
in
destresse
both
of
victuals
&
money
was
forced
to
retire
,
&
lost
all
the
places
which
before
they
had
taken
in
the
said
realme
as
easely
as
they
had
wonne
them
:
Farther
the
Emperours
forces
incited
by
this
victorie
passed
farther
into
France
,
and
spoyled
many
places
in
the
countrey
,
and
then
in
saftie
returned
home
.
In
Italie
also
the
Emperour
and
his
confederats
,
toke
diuers
places
in
the
Duchie
of
Milan
,
and
made
sharp
warres
vpon
the
king
there
,
wherewith
the
king
being
greatly
irritated
,
and
purposing
to
draw
the
Emperour
from
the
warres
in
Italie
,
to
looke
neerer
home
,
namely
into
Spaine
,
sent
an
armie
into
Biscay
,
&
toke
Fontarabia
,
and
fortified
it
and
held
it
till
the
yeare
1523.
when
the
Spaniards
recouered
it
againe
as
hereafter
you
shall
heare
.
And
on
an
other
side
also
the
said
Emperours
sorces
vnder
the
leading
of
the
Earle
of
Nassau
inuaded
Picardie
,
rased
Musancourt
,
toke
Moson
,
and
besieged
Meziers
which
Captaine
Bayarde
valiantly
defended
against
him
.
Then
the
King
with
a
mightie
armie
came
downe
in
person
into
Picardie
,
purposing
to
fight
with
the
sayde
Earle
of
Nassau
,
but
when
he
saw
that
he
would
by
no
meanes
bee
drawen
to
the
battaile
,
the
King
departed
leauing
his

vnder

as
you
haue
heard
had

So
the

,
the

,
and
Francis
Sforce
ioyned
together
against
the

,
and
tooke
Milan
(

being

of

came
to

that

the

they
would
depart

,
which
the
sayd
Lautrech
at
the

refused
to
doe
,
alledging
the
great
disaduantage
they
should
fight
with
,
because
they
must
of
force
assault
the
enemies
in

,
where
Prospero

the

were
so
strongly
fortefied
that

could

contrarie
,
for
notwithstanding
that
these
Swyssers
furiously
assaulted
the
enemies
campe
,
yet
were
they
repulsed
and
a
great
number
of
them
slaine
,
the
French
in
very
good
order
retiring
themselues
.
This
battaile
is
called
the
battaile
of
Bicocque
.
The
Swissers
after
the
battaile
returned
home
not
once
taking
their
leaue
of
Lautrech
,
who
also
hauing
lost
the
whole
Duchie
of
Milan
through
this
mutinous
rashnesse
of
the
Swyssers
retourned
into
Fraunce
to
the
king
,
leauing
at
his
departure
Monsieur
de
Lescun
his
brother
gouernour
in
Italie
of
those
Peices
that
held
yet
for
the
king
,
but
for
want
both
of
men
and
money
,
seruice
hee
could
doe
none
,
so
that
the
Imperials
tooke
Cremona
and
soone
after
also
Genoua
,
and
lastly
the
Castle
of
Milan
was
also
yeelded
to
them
.
The
Emperour
whose
affaires
fell
out
according
to
his
desire
passed
into
Spaine
,
&
by
the
way
landed
in
England
and
so
preuayled
with
king
Henry
that
hee
declared
himselfe
Imperiall
,
and
sent
a
Herrault
to
defie
the
king
.
Farther
they
both
sent
Ambassadors
to
Venis
to
disswade
them
from
the
kings
friendship
and
to
perswade
them
to
enter
into
league
with
them
,
which
also
they
obtayned
in

But
you
shall
vnderstand
that

And
notwithstanding

THE
treatie
aboue
mentioned
with
the
Venetians
was
so
earnestly
pursued
In
the
meane
time
Pope
Adrian
being
come
out
of
Spaine
into
Italie
compounded
the
controuersie
betwene
the
Duke
of
Ferrare
and
the
Church
,
and
endeuoured
to
reconcile
all
those
Princes
together
and
to
conuert
their
Armes
against
the
Turke
,
but
all
in
vaine
.
About
this
tyme
also
Charles
Duke
of
Bourbon
Constable
of
Fraunce
and
the
greatest
prince
in
the
Realme
reuolted
from
the
king
to
the
Emperour
.
Diuers
causes
are
alleadged
by
diuers
men
of
his
reuolt
.
But
I
think
ambition
to
haue
bene
the
onely
cause
thereof
,
For
he
being
a
Prince
of
great
courage
,
and
greatly
beloued
in
the
Realme
,
was
perswaded
that
he
could
haue
drawen
the
greatest
part
of
the
Realme
after
him
,
and
was
promised
in
mariage
Elenor
the
Emperours
sister
widow
of
Emanuell
king
of
Portugale
,
and
to
haue
the
earledome
of
Prouince
conquered
by
the
armes
of
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
England
,
and
erected
into
a
Kingdome
deliuered
to
him
.
And
he
for
his
part
promised
if
the
Emperour
would
giue
him
the
leading
of
twelue
thousand
Lancknights
to
conquere
all
Burgundie
from
the
king
,
and
to
restore
it
to
the
sayde
Emperour
who
claimed
it
as
heire
to
Charles
the
last
Duke
of
Burgundie
slaine
by
the
Swyssers
at
the
battaile
of
Naucy
in
the
yeare
1476.
Thus
oftentime
are
the
noblest
witts
so
drowned
with
an
ouergreat
opinion
of
themselues
,
that
they
hould
those
enterprises
for
easie
which
are
indeede
impossible
to
be
atchieued
.
Notwithstanding
the
Emperour
vsed
his
help
in
the
warres
,
and
hee
shewed
extreame
hatred
against
the
king
and
his
countrey
all
the
time
of
his
life
,
for
the
which
most
men
blame
him
and
few
commend
him
.
The
Emperour
hauing
stirred
vp
almost
all
the
Princes
of
Christendome
against
the
king
,
ment
to
assault
him
on
all
sides
,
and
so
to
destract
his
forces
that
he
should
haue
enough
to
doe
to
defend
his
owne
,
and
by
that
meanes
not
bee
able
to
offend
him
in
Italie
.
Wherefore
first
hee
sent
an
armie
to
inuade
Biscay
which
besieged
Bayonne
but
could
not
take
it
,
but
Fontarabia
they
recouered
from
the
French
,
God
so
disposing
of
this
matter
that
each
partie
should
hould
their
owne
and
no
more
:
on
the
other
side
the
king
of
England
sent
the
Duke
of
Suffolke
with
a
mightie
armie
to
inuade
Picardie
.
But
God
hauing
commiseration
as
it
is
to
be
thought
of
the
poore
Realme
of
Fraunce
,
caused
the
sayde
English
armie
for
want
of
victualles
and
money
to
retourne
home
without
any
matter
of
moment
done
.
The
Duke
of
Bourbon
likewise
inuading
Burgundie
had
no
better
successe
,
for
beeing
entered
with
his
twelue
thousand
Lansknights
into
the
countrey
,
both
his
money
and
his
intelligences
fayled
him
,
and
his
souldiours
wanting
pay
left
him
,
and
the
most
part
of
them
went
to
serue
the
king
.
Thus
God
fought
for
the
king
as
long
as
hee
stoode
vpon
the
defence
of
his
owne
Realme
,
but
out
of
his
owne
Realme
his
successe
was
farre
otherwise
.
God
as
it
is
to
be
thought
punishing
his
ambition
in
mouing
vnnecessary
warrs
abroad
to
trouble
the
state
of
Italie
,
and
not
being
contented
with
his
large
,
ritch
,
and
florishing
Realme
at
home
.
For
you
shall
vnderstand
that
at
this
time
he
was
him selfe
passing
with
a
mightie
army
into
Italie
to
recouer
the
Duchie
of
Milan
,
as
though
without
Milan
the
king
of
Fraunce
were
not
worthie
the
name
of
king
.
And
notwithstanding
that
Bourbons
reuolt
and
the
inuasions
aboue
mentioned
stayed
his
owne
person
in
Fraunce
:
yet
his
armie
consisting
of
34000.
men
,
hee
sent
into
Italie
vnder
the
leading
of
the
Admirall
Boniuet
,
to
recouer
the
sayd
Duchie
of
Milan
.
Prospero
Colonna
being
gouernour
of
Milan
for
the
Emperour
and
Francis
Sforce
met
with
this
French
armie
at
the
Riuer
of
Th●sin
with
purpose
to
stoppe
their
passage
,
but
that
notwithstanding
they
passed
the
riuer
and
Prospero
was
forced
to
retire
to
Milan
,
whether
if
Boniuet
had
presently
solowed
him
and
giuen
him
no
leasure
to
fortefie
the
towne
,
it
is
thought
he
mought
haue
taken
it
without
any
resistance
.
But
the
actions
of
great
souldiers
are
not
to
bee
censured
by
the
iudgement
of
the
vulgare
sort
many
reasons
&
great
daungers
mought
moue
him
to
forbeare
to
giue
Prospero
the
chace
&
attempt
to
take
the
towne
by
force
,
which
he
being
generall
concealed
to
himselfe
,
and
deliuered
not
to
the
notice
of
men
.
About
this
time
dyed
Pope
Adrian
&
to
him
succeded
Iulius
Cardinall
of
M●dices
by
the
name
of
Clement

The
French
armie
aboue
mentioned
vnder

besieged

,
&
to
the
reliefe
of
the
towne
came
the
Marques
of
Pescara
with
new
supplies
,
and
likewise

Duke
of

his
enterprise

,
traiterously
refusing
to
passe
the
riuer
of
Seuze
&
to
ioine

the

)
the
French
were
forced
not
onely
to
abandon
the
siege
,
but
also
with
great
losse
of
men
,
&
especially
of

Bayarde
to

no

had
the

in

about

,
which
notwithstanding
wisely
they
forbare
to
do
,
knowing
the
Realme
of
Naples
to
be
in
sufficient
saftie
if
they
ouerthrew
the

Thus
the
kings
camp
being
by
the
departure
of
those
aboue
mentioned
greatly
weakened
,
and
the
forces
that
remayned
with
him
,
through
the
corruption
of
his
officers
not
being
the
one
halfe
of
the
number
that
he
payed
,
which
was
a
wonderfull
thing
that
such
an
abuse
should
be
offered
to
a
Prince
beeing
with
his
armie
in
person
himselfe
:
the
Imperialls
being
ignorant
of
none
of
these
disorders
,
determined
to
inuade
him
in
his
owne
Campe
,
where
through
the
defect
of
courage
in
the
Swyssers
hee
was
taken
prisoner
,
him selfe
fighting
more
valiauntly
then
any
man
in
his
armie
:
many
of
the
nobilitie
were
slayne
and
many
taken
,
and
the
Swyssers
were
in
manner
all
cut
in
pieces
by
the
Landsknights
,
in
reuenge
of
the
auncient
hatred
betwene
the
sayde
Swyssers
and
them
.
This
battaile
is
called
the
battaile
of
Pauia
,
and
was
fought
vpon
Saint
Mathias
day
,
being
the
day
of
the
Emperours
Natiuitie
in
the
yeare
1525.
according
to
the
Italians
but
1524.
according
to
the
French
,
which
variance
ariseth
as
before
I
haue
mentioned
because
the
one
beginne
the
yeare
vpon
the
first
of
Januarie
and
the
other
not
before
Easter
.
The
Duke
of
Albanie
after
the
kings
captiuitie
by
the
Popes
meanes
passed
by
sea
with
his
armie
safly
into
Fraunce
.
Thus
was
this
noble
King
through
the
disorders
principally
proceding
from
his
owne
officers
and
Captaines
taken
prisoner
as
you
haue
heard
,
who
not
being
dismayed
with
this
sodaine
blow
of
fortune
,
behaued
himself
with
such
princely
magnanimitie
,
that
he
was
honored
&
had
in
admiration
euen
of
his
enemies
in
such
sort
that
his
captiuitie
blemished
not
,
but
rather
caused
his
noble
vertues
the
more
to
shine
,
as
by
this
one
example
which
I
will
rehearse
shall
well
appeare
.
So
soone
as
hee
was
brought
to
his
lodging
hee
sent
for
the
leaders
of
the
Imperiall
armie
,
and
tould
them
that
hee
had
a
sute
vnto
them
which
he
trusted
they
would
not
denie
him
.
Wherevnto
when
they
semed
doubtfull
what
answere
to
make
,
supposing
it
to
bee
some
great
matter
of
difficultie
that
they
mought
not
aduenture
to
graunt
without
the
Emperours
priuitie
,
he
perceauing
their
immagination
,
tould
them
it
was
no
such
important
suit
that
required
any
such
doubt
,
onely
his
desire
was
that
the
young
French
boyes
taken
in
the
battel
mought
not
remaine
with
the
Italians
,
but
in
exchaunge
of
other
prisoners
bee
deliuered
to
the
Spaniards
,
which
was
presently
graunted
and
executed
accordingly
,
though
not
without
great
admiration
of
the
Imperialls
,
who
wondered
that
the
king
forgetting
his
owne
misfortune
being
of
a
Prince
made
a
prisoner
in
one
day
,
could
remember
to
bee
so
carefull
of
the
chastitie
of
these
young
boyes

vpon
the
receipt
of
these
newes

leuied
amighty
armie
purposing
in
person
to
inuade

,
but
hee
continued
not
long
in
that
minde
vppon
these
occasions
folowing
.
First
certaine
difficulties
arose
betwene
the
Emperour
and
him
,
the
king
demaunding
,
bearing
but
equall
charges
with
the
Emperour
,
an
vnequall

of

and
the
Emperour
hoping
to

by

,
then
he
should
doe

Secondarely
the

the

him
.
Thirdly
after
the
battaile
of
Pauia
the
Emperour
semed
not
to
make
so
great
accompt
of
the
king
of
England
as
before
he
had
done
,
for
first
he
refused
to
marie
the
Lady
Mary
the
king
of
Englands
daughter
being
very
young
,
and
maried
the
sister
of
Ihon
king
of
Portugale
,
as
hereafter
you
shall
heare
,
with
whom
he
receiued
a
great
masse
of
money
whereof
he
stood
in
great
neede
.
Farther
whereas
beefore
the
battaile
of
Pauia
,
he
neuer
wroat
letter
to
the
king
of
England
but
with
his
owne
hand
and
with
this
subscrption
Your
sonne
and
Cosin
Charles
,
after
the
battaile
he
neuer
wroat
letter
with
his
owne
hand
nor
with
other
subscription
then
his
simple
name
Charles
,
all
the
which
reasons
caused
the
king
of
England
by
little
and
little
to
straunge
himselfe
from
the
Emperours
friendship
.
But
the
thing
that
most
wrought
the
alteration
of
his
minde
was
that
the
Lady
Regent
of
Fraunce
the
kings
mother
sent
vnto
him
a
gentleman
with
letters
very
humbly
wrtiten
,
wherein
she
signified
vnto
him
,
that
it
was
not
honorable
for
so
noble
a
Prince
as
he
was
,
to
inuade
a
king
beeing
Captiue
,
&
a
Christian
Realme
afflicted
with
the
captiuitie
of
their
Prince
,
which
submission
pearced
so
depely
into
the
breast
of
this
couragious
king
,
that
presently
he
not
onely
dismissed
his
armie
which
he
had
leuyed
to
his
charge
,
not
demaunding
one
penie
in
regarde
thereof
:
but
also
from
that
day
forward
became
the
greatest
friend
that
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
had
,
and
entered
into
league
with
the
Regent
for
the
deliuerie
of
the
king
hir
sonne
,
for
the
accomplishment
also
whereof
,
the
sayd
king
of
England
so
earenestly
trauayled
with
all
the
states
of
Christendome
,
that
in
the
ende
he
effected
it
,
in
such
sort
that
so
soone
as
king
Francis
had
set
foote
in
Fraunce
,
the
first
thing
he
dyd
was
,
that
presently
hee
wroat
a
letter
of
thanckes
to
king
Henry
aduertising
him
of
his
libertie
,
for
the
which
hee
acknowledged
himselfe
more
beehoulding
to
him
then
to
all
the
Princes
of
Christendome
besides
.
Such
true
nobilitie
reigned
in
Princes
being
in
hostilitie
,
at
those
dayes
,
wheras
now
this
age
is
so
farr
degenerated
from
the
magnanimitie
of
their
fathers
,
that
one
Prince
seeketh
to
take
away
an
others
lyfe
by
treason
,
murther
,
poyson
and
such
like
vilanous
attempts
,
which
the
heathen
themselues
detested
and
abhorred
.
But
to
returne
to
our
Historie
.
The
kings
captiuitie
astonished
not
onely
Fraunce
but
also
all
Italie
,
beecause
all
the
Princes
and
states
thereof
semed
now
wholy
to
depend
vpon
the
Emperours
clemencie
,
none
of
them
being
able
to
stand
vpon
his
owne
strength
.
The
Pope
especially
was
not
a
litle
grieued
with
this
accident
,
who
notwithstanding
that
for
his
present
saftie
hee
made
an
accord
with
the
Imperials
as
did
also
the
Venetians
:
yet
their
hart
was
farr
from
it
,
as
the
sequell
wel
declared
:
for
secretly
&
vnder
hand
they
practised
to
make
a
league
betweene
the
state
of
Fraunce
,
the
Pope
,
the
Venetians
,
and
the
duke
of
Milan
,
against
the
Emperour
,
which
confederacie
the
Imperialls
hauing
discouered
,
presently
seazed
all
the
Duchie
of
Milan
to
the
Emperours
vse
,
saue
the
Castell
of
Milan
into
the
which
the
Duke
put
himselfe
and
endured
the
siege
,
and
the
Castell
of
Cremona
,
both
the
which
notwithstanding
the
Imperialls
enuyroned
with
trenches
on
all
sides
.
But
this
seazing
of
the
sayde
Duchie
caused
the
league
to
discouer
it selfe
sooner
then
otherwise
it
would
.
The
king
to
the
ende
he
mought
the
sooner
recouer
his
libertie
went
into
Spaine
,
hoping
by
present
conference
with
the
Emperour
,
the
sooner
to
compound
all
their
controuersies
.
But
the
Emperours
rigor
was
such
in
rude
handeling
him
,
neuer
once
vouchsafing
to
come
to
see
him
,
and
propounding
such
vnreasonable
conditions
as
the
king
without
the
ruine
of
his
Realme
could
not
accept
:
that
the
King
fell
into
a
most
daungerous
and
almost
desperate
disease
for
verie
griefe
of
minde
.
Wherefore
the
Emperour
doubting
to
lose
the
fruits
of
his
victorie
by
the
kings
death
,
came
&
visited
him
,
&
so
in
the
end
peace
was
concluded
betwene
them
at
Madrid
,

14
of
Februarie

being

daies
since
the
kings
captiutie
.
But
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
conditions
of
this
treatie
were
so
vnreasonable
that
(
as
it
is
reported
)
the
King
protested
hee
would
not
obserue
them
,
when
he
should
be
returned
into
his
Realme
,
especially
the
articles
for
the
restitution
of
Burgundy
to
the
Emperour
,
and
the
releasing
of
his
soueraintie
ouer
Flaunders
Notwithstanding
for
the
performance
of
this
treatie
Francis
and
Henry
the
kings
Children
were
deliuered
in
hostage
to
the
Emperour
,
and
for
farther
continuance
of
amitie
beetweene
these
two
Princes
it
was
agreed
that
the
king
should
marie
Elenor
the
Emperours
sister
,
promised
as
before
you
haue
heard
to
the
Duke
of
Bourbon
,
but
neuer
with
any
meaning
to
performe
it
.
And
thus
was
the
King
deliuered
,
with
promise
that
if
he
would
not
performe
the
treatie
,
he
should
returne
prisoner
into
Spaine

honorable

to

that

would
admit

they
iointly
began
war
vpon

inuaded
his
dominions
in
Italic
,
&
came
with
their
armie
before
Milan
hoping
to
take
it
&
to
deliuer
the
duke
of
Milan
who
held
the
Castle
as
yet
,
but
they
failed
of
their
purpose
,
&
were
constrained
with
dishonor
to
leuie
their
siege
notwithstanding
that
their
armie
came
twice
to
the
reliefe
of
the
said
castle
of
Milan
,
which
the
duke
considering
,
despairing
of
succours
,
&
being
almost
starued
in
the
castle
for
victuals
,
he
made
a
composition
with
the
duke
of
Bourbon
gouernour
of
Milan
for
the
Emperour
,
whereby
he
yelded
the
castle
into
his
hands
,
and
it
was
agreed
that
Coma
being
held
by
the
Imperials
should
be
deliuered
to
the
duke
of
Milan
,
&
that
there
he
should
reside
till
the
Emperour
had
heard
his
iustification
.
The
Emperour
sent
against
the
confederats
a
mightie
armie
vnder
the
leading
of
the
said
duke
of
Bourbon
,
and
sought
also
to
stir
vp
a
rebellion
against
the
Pope
in
Rome
itselfe
by
meanes
of
the
Coulonnois
,
who
by
cunning
toke
him
prisoner
in
the
vatican
,
&
made
him
yelde
to
such
conditions
of
peace
as
pleased
them
,
and
constrayned
him
to
abandon
his
league
with
the
confederats
and
to
enter
into
league
with
the
Imperials
,
&
with
these
conditions
he
was
deliuered
by
them
.
But
that
notwithstanding

beeing
then
in

retourned
to

successe
there
that

also
the
whole

according
to
the
agrement
in
his
confederacie
with

King
,
perswaded
the
king
to
withdraw
his
armie
out
of
the
Duchie
of
Milan
where
his
affaires
prospered
well
,
and
to
send
Lautrech
to
inuade
the
sayde
Realme
of
Naples
,
which
the
king
to
gratefie
the
Pope
was
contented
to
doe
.
Lautrech
recouered
all
the
sayde
Realme
saue
Naples
it selfe
,
which
he
also
besieged

But
during
that
siege
Anáre
D'oria
who
with
the
French
nauie
held
the
towne
enclosed
by
sea
,
sodainely
left
the
king
,
and
went
to
the
Emperours
seruice
,
by
meanes
whereof
the
Imperialls
were
masters
of
the
Sea

beefore
the
French
commaunded
.
Farther
the
sayd
D'oria
reuolted
Genoua
also
from
the
king
,
&
dyd
much
mischiefe
to
the
French
by
sea
.
But
their
greatest
misfortune
,
and
the
very
ruine
of
this
enterprise
was
the
plague
which
entered
into
the
French
camp
,
whereof
Lautrech
himselfe
dyed
,
and
whereby
his
armie
was
so
extenuated
that
the
siege
was
abandoned
,
and
the
French
forced
to
retourne
home
hauing
lost
all
that
they
had
before
taken
as
well
in
the
sayde
Realme
as
in

T
The
Emperours
purpose
in
turning
the
king
of
Englands
debt
vpon
the
king
was
this
.
First
hee
hoped
that
the
king
,
his
Realme
being
empouerished
and
consumed
with
the
long
warrs
that
it
had
endured
,
should
not
bee
able
to
make
present
payment
of
so
huge
a
masse
of
money
as
was
to
bee
payed
,
first
to
the
Emperour
himselfe
,
and
secondarely
to
the
king
of
England
,
for
the
redeeming
of
the
Emperours
bonds
and
iuells
out
of
his
hands
,
without
present
payment
whereof
,
he
assured
himselfe
that
the
king
of
England
would
not
delyuer
the
foresayde
bondes
and
iuells
,
and
by
that
meanes
the
children
of
Fraunce
should
remayne
his
prisoners
still
.
Neyther
was
hee
out
of
hope
that
happilie
some
variance
would
arise
beetweene
these
two
kings
about
payment
of
the
money
,
and
so
their
friendship
be
dissolued
,
which
was
the
principall
marke
he
shot
at
,

as

it

onely
the

at

because

,
agreed
to

with

longer
bee

but
brake
out
into
a
bluddie
warre
vppon
this
occasion
which
I
will
now
rehearse
.

claymed
the

of
Sauoy
as
appertayning
to
him
in
the
right
of
his

,
Anthonie

But
the

armie
beeing
first
in
a
readinesse
chased
the
Sauoyan
cleane
out
of
his
Countrey
before
the
Emperours
ayde
could
come
vnto
him
.
The
Emperour
came
to
Rome
where
in
the
consistorie
,
hee
made
a
most
bitter
inuectiue
against
the
king
,
wherevnto
the
King
answered
by
writing
at

.
Farther
the
sayde
Emperour
seeing
his
confederate
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
thus
But
after
hee
had
remayned
in
Prouince
a
while
,
and
saw
the
preparation
that
the
king
made
against
him
,
his
armie
also
being
in
great
penurie
and
distresse
,
because
the
king
had
so
stopped
all
the
passages
that
no
victuals
could
come
to
his
campe
,
he
soone
returned
into
stalie
without
doing
any
thing
worthie
of
remembraunce
,
finding
the
Realme
of
Fraunce
a
morsell
not
so
easie
to
be
swalowed
v●
,
as
he
imagined
,
on
the
other
side
the
Earle
of
Nassau
at
the
same
time
inuaded
Picardie
and
besieged
Perone
,
but
after
he
had
lyen
two
moneths
before
the
towne
,
he
was
forced
to
leauie
his
siege
and
depart
,
the
selfe
same
day
that
the
Emperour
retired
out
of
Prouince
.
Then
the
King
on
the
other
side
inuaded
the
Emperours
dominions
in
Picardie
and
Artoys
,
where
hee
spoyled
many
townes
and
villages
,
and
tooke
Hesdin
both
towne
and
castell
,
and
lykewise
Saint

which
he
strongly
fortefied

But
the
warres
in

endured
still
,
for
you
shall
vnderstand
that
about
this
tyme
Francis
Marques
of
Salusses
most
trayterously
and
without
any
occasion
left
the
King
and
went
to
the
Emperours
seruice
,
for
the
which
cause
the
kings
armie
in
Piemont
entered
into
the
sayde
Marquisate
and
before
any
ayde
could
come
to
the
Marques
from

Imperials
,
seazed
all
the

and
entered
into
Piemont
where
hee
recouered
many
places
,
which
the
King
seeing

sent
a
mightie
armie
into

the
leading
of
Henry

trauayled

could

establish
a
firme
peace
betwene
them
,
wherefore
he
intreated
them
both
to
meete
him
at
Nice
in
Prouince
.
Wherevnto
they
both
condescended
,
and
accordingly
in
Iune
they
all
three
met
at
the
sayde
place
of
Nice
,
where
the
Pope
endeuoured
to
make
a

peace
betweene

when
hee
perceiued
that
could
by
no

bee
brought

hee
concluded
a

so
soone
as
the

was
arriued
at

hee
receaued
newes
that
the
Emperour
beeing
at

would
gladly
againe
speake
with
him
,
and
that
if
it
pleased
him

But
after
he
was
passed
out
of

first
he
began
to
temporise
about
the
restitution
of
the
said
Duchie
of
Milan
till
hee
had
spoken
with
his
brother
the
king
of

flatly
denied

had
made

his
departure
out

and
his
deluding
of
the
king
for
the
restitution
of
the
Duchie
of
Milan
,
was
interpreted
not
to

of

solicited
him
earnestly
to

he
determined
to
recouer
by
warr
that

Wherefore
he
inuaded

a
purpose
to

But

raine
that
fell
,
&
the
winter
that
approched
,
about
the
seuenth
or
eighth
of
Nouember
leuyed
his
siege
.
A
man
may
maruayle
heere
how
it
shoule
come
to
passe
that
the
King
of
England
,
betwene
whom
and
the
King
had
bene
so
straight
a
league
,
and
from
whom
so
many
curtesies
had
proceded
towards
the
king
and
his
Realme
in
their
most
troubles
and
greatest
aduersities
,
should
now
become
his
foe
and
ioyne
with
the
Emperour
(
whom
hee
had
so
deadly
hated
)
in
the
inuasion
of
the
kings
dominions
.
But
you
shal
vnderstand
that
this
proceded
partly
of
the
king
of
Englands
owne
disposition
,
partly
through
the
kings
fault
,
and
partly
through
the
Emperours
cunning
.
First
as
touching
the
King
of
England
,
trew
it
is
that
as
himselfe
was
a
Prince
of
a
noble
and
a
franck
minde
and
one
that
would
endeuour
to
pleasure
his
friend
to
his
vttermost
power
:
so
if
himselfe
likewise
were
not
satisfied
in
all
his
demaunds
at
his
friends
hands
,
hee
was
by
nature
apte
to
strange
himselfe
from
his
friend
,
not
alwayes
so
depely
considering
as
was
requisit
his
friends
abilitie
to
accomplish
that
which
hee
desired
.
And
because
hee
had
shewed
himselfe
a
firme
,
yea
almost
an
onely
friend
to
the
realme
of
France
during
the
time
of
the
kings
captiuitie
,
and
afterwards
at
the
deliuerie
of
the
Children
of
Fraunce
as
before
mention
is
made
,
he
toke
it
very
vnkindely
at
the
kings
hand
.
First
that
hee
payed
not
his
money
dew
vnto
him
,
for
the
which
he
had
giuen
the
king
fiue
yeares
day
of
payment
,
and
the
payment
whereof
the
Emperour
had
turned
ouer
vppon
the
king
of
purpose
to
set
these
two
Princes
at
variance
as
before
you
haue
heard
.
Secondarely
he
was
grieued
that
the
king
obtained
not
for
him
the
Bull
of
deuorce
at
the
Popes
hands
,
which
he
was
perswaded
the
king
by
his
authoritie
mought
haue
procured
,
if
he
had
delt
so
earnestly
in
that
businesse
as
friendship
required
that
he
should
.
Now
as
touching
the
king
he
fayled
towards
the
king
of
England
in
the
first
point
that
is
the
payment
of
his
monie
,
through
want
of
abilitie
,
for
the
Emperor
held
him
in
such
continuall
wars
,
that
he
was
forced
to
leauie
extreamly
of
his
subiects
,
&
neuer
could
be
in
case
to
pay
debts
,
&
as
touching
the
second
point
namely
the
Bull
of
deuorce
,
trew
it
is
that
the
king
after
the
restitution
of
his
children
trauailed
not
so
earnestly
in
the
busines
as
before
he
had
done
,
either
because
he
held
somwhat
of
the
disposition
of
his
countrey
men
,
who
are
saide
to
remember
good
turnes
no
longer
than
they
be
in
doing
,
or
because
he
was
loth
to
offend
the
Emperour
,
with
whom
he
had
concluded
peace
&
whose
sister
he
had
maried
,
or
because
he
found
the
Pope
obstinate
,
or
a
feard
to
graunt
the
Bull
in
respect
of
the
Emperors
greatnes
in
Italie
,
or
lastly
because
he
held
the
case
desperate
,
especially
after
the
king
of
Englands
reuolt
from
the
Pope
.
Whether
any
of
these
reasons
,
or
all
of
them
,
or
some
other
vnknowne
to
vs
caused
him
to
deale
cowldly
in
the
king
of
Englands
businesse
we
can
but
deuine
,
but
certaine
it
is
that
the
kings
remisnesse
in
this
cause
mightely
grieued
the
King
of
England
,
and
diminished
a
great
part
of
his
loue
towards
the
king
.
Lastly
as
touching
the
Emperour
,
hee
vsed
exceding
cunning
to
seuer
these
two
Princes
,
whose
amitie
hee
saw
to
bee
the
countermine
of
all
his
practises
and
procedings
.
For
first
hee
turned
ouer
his
owne
debt
to
the
king
of
England
,
vpon
the
king
of
Fraunce
,
of
purpose
to
cast
a
boane
betweene
them
to
set
them
at
variance
as
before
you
haue
heard
:
Farther
so
soone
as
he
perceued
the
king
of
Englands
minde
to
bee
a
little
alienated
from
the
king
,
hee
fayled
not
to
doe
his
endeuour
to
aggrauate
euerie
small
vnkindenesse
,
and
to
make
a
mountaine
of
euerie
moulehill
.
Beesides
this
hee
wroate
passing
kinde
letters
to
the
king
of
England
,
desiring
him
to
remember
the
oulde
friendship
that
had
euer
beene
betwene
the
house
of
Burgundie
and
the
Realme
of
England
,
and
likewise
not
to
forget
the
auncient
enmitie
and
the
many
quarells
that
were
yet
depending
beetweene
England
and
Fraunce
,
adding
that
if
any
vnkindenesse
had
passed
betweene
them
two
in
regard
of
his
Aunts
cause
,
it
was
now
cleane
forgotten
on
his
part
by
his
Aunts
death
,
intimating
farther
vnto
him
,
that
if
hee
the
sayde
Emperour
would
embrace
the
king
of
France
his
friendship
:
the
king
offered
to
enter
into
league
with
him
,
and
to
abandon
his
league
with
the
sayd
king
of
England
,
or
any
other
prince
in
Christendome
that
the
sayde
Emperour
should
mislike
of
.
And
at
such
times
as
the
Emperour
had
these
purposes
in
his
head
,
hee
would
in
apparance
make
so
much
of
the
king
of
Fraunce
,
and
haue
such
conference
with
him
and
his
Ambassadors
,
and
seeme
so
wholy
in
all
matters
to
depend
vppon
his
direction
and
aduise
,
that
hee
made
not
onely
the
king
of
England
,
but
all
the
kings
other
confederats
in
Christendome
to
doubt
that
he
ment
to
doe
as
the
Emperours
letters
reported
,
namely
to
enter
into
league
with
him
,
and
to
forsake
all
his
other
friends
,
and
thus
vnderhand
the
Emperour
made
the
king
himselfe
the
instrument
to
cut
his
owne
throat
,
and
to
seuer
from
him
all
his
friends
.
Whervnto
I
also
adde
that
to
draw
the
king
of
England
to
his
partie
&
to
ioyne
armes
with
him
,
he
offered
him
of
the
conquest
of
Fraunce
what
portion
he
would
desire
himselfe
,
and
by
these
meanes
was
the
King
of
England
wonne
from
the
Kings
friendship
,
and
sent
a
Herrault
to
defie
the
King
,
and
presently
passed
ouer
his
forces
to
ioyne
with
the
Emperour
before
Landercy
as
alreadie
you
haue
heard
.

was
forced

tooke

therein
executed

crueltie
,
but
the
Castle
they
could
not
take
,
wherefore
they
retired
themselues
.
The
Emperour
on
the
other
side
by
cunning
entered
into
the
towne
of
Cambray
,
and
in
apparance
left
them
in
their
auncient
libertie
,
but
indeede
so
brideled
them
,
by
a

he
caused
the
Citizens

he
put

sent
also

of

with
an
army
to

who
recouered

he

retired

recouered

But
the

on

spoiled

THe
king
hauing
thus
established
peace
on
that
side
of
his
realme
began
to
attend
to
his
forraine
practises
against
the
Emperor
as
well
in
Italie
as
in
Germanie
.
The
first
attempt
that
he
made
against
the
Emperour
was
the
warre
of
Parma
in
Italie
,
which
began
This
Peter
the
tenth
of
September
in
the
yeare
1547.
was
slaine
in
his
owne
house
not
without
the
consent
of
Ferdinando
Gonzaga
gouernour
of
Milan
for
the
Emperour
as
it
was
thought
.
For
presently
vpon
his
death
the
said
Ferdinando
came
to
Placencia
,
and
entered
into
it
,
and
placed
a
garrison
in
it
to
the
Emperours
vse
,
and
farther
alowed
Giouanni
Aguzzolo
who
killed
the
sayde
Peter
,
with
his
owne
hands
,
twentie
souldiours
for
his
guard
.
Octauius
Peters
sonne
and
sonne
in
law
to
the
Emperour
(
for
he
had
married
the
Emperours
base
daughter
widow
of
Alexander
Medices
duke
of
Florence
)
demaunded
of
the
Emperour
against
Gonzaga
iustice
of
his
fathers
death
,
and
that
Placentia
mought
bee
restored
to
him
againe
,
but
receauing
from
him
no
thing
but
delatorie
answers
,
&
fearing
to
be
spoiled
of
Parma
as
alreadie
he
was
of
Placentia
:
hee
sought
for
succour
at
the
hands
of
Iulius
tertius
newly
chosen
Pope
,
who
misliking
the
Emperours
greatnes
in
Italie
,
perswaded
Octauius
to
put
himself
vnder
the
protection
of
France
,
not
so
much
regarding
Octauius
good
thereby
as
hoping
by
this
meanes
to
set
these
two
Princes
at
variaunce
,
which
hee
accompted
the
onely
preseruation
of
his
owne
estate
.
But
the
Emperour
on
the
other
side
beeing
exceedingly
offended
with
this
reuolt
of
Octauio
to
the
French
,
practised
with
the
Pope
to
claime
Parma
as
the
right
of
the
Church
,
and
to
excomunicate
Octauio
as
the
Church
rebel
,
promising
him
if
he
would
so
doe
,
that
hee
would
enter
into
these
warres
and
besiege
Parma
,
and
restore
it
to
the
Church
if
it
were
recouered
.
Wherevpon
the
Pope
respecting
his
owne
profit
more
than
his
credit
or
the
goodnesse
of
the
cause
:
vtterly
abandoned
Octauio
and
ioyned
with
the
Emperour
in
this
warre
.
But
the
king
hauing
receaued
Octauio
into
his
protection
and
that
by
the
Popes
owne
perswasion
,
promised
to
defend
him
both
against
the
Emperors
ambition
and
violence
,
and
likewise
against
the
Popes
trecherous
inconstancie
,
who
as
you
haue
heard
being
reuolted
from
Octauio
,
ioyned
with
the
Emperour
in
this
warre
in
hope
to
recouer
Parma
for
the
Church
,
wherefore
the
king
fortefied
Parma
and
manned
it
,
and
likewise
Mirandula
,
the
Earle
whereof
fearing
continually
to
be
surprised
by
Gonzague
,
ioyned
with
the
French
,
and
receaued
into
the
towne
certaine
French
bands
sent
thither
out
of
Piemont
by
the
marshal
Brissac
.
Gonzague
on
the
other
side
by
the
Emperours
commaundement
went
and
besieged
Parma
but
all
in
the
Popes
name
,
for
neither
would
the
Emperour
seeme
to
attempt
any
thing
against
the
King
,
but
onely
to
aide
the
Pope
in
a
iust
cause
,
neither
would
the
King
seeme
to
attempt
any
thing
against
the
Emperour
,
but
onely
to
ayde
Octauio
beeing
vnder
his
protection
in
his
iust
cause
.
But
this
dissimulation
betweene
these
two
Princes
held
not
long
,
for
as
Monsieur
d'Andelot
passed
through
the
Emperours
dominions
in
Lombardie
with
certaine
bandes
of
men
,
to
put
himselfe
into
Parma
by
the
Kings
commandement
,
notwithstanding
that
they
passed
quietlie
without
harme
doing
as
in
their
friendes
country
,
yet
was
the
said
d'Andelot
staied
prisoner
by
the
Imperialls
and
iustefied
for
a
good
przse
,
wherevpon
the
King
charged
the
Emperour
with
breach
of
the
truce
and
beegan
to
make
warre
vpon
him
on
all
sides
.
A
man
may
thinke
the
King
was
not
well
aduised
to
enter
into
this
warre
for
Octauios
cause
,
in
whom
being
the
Emperours
sonne
in
law
he
could
repose
no
assured
trust
,
and
who
hee
mought
assure
himselfe
vpon
the
restitution
of
Placentia
would
alwaies
be
ready
to
giue
him
the
slip
,
&
so
in
deede
he
did
being
restored
therevnto
in
the
yeare
1556.
But
you
must
know
that
the
king
vsed
this
matter
but
as
a
coulour
to
prouoke
an
open
warre
beetweene
the
Emperour
and
him
,
as
hee
was
sure
it
would
in
the
ende
,
and
the
which
thing
he
principally
desired
,
both
because
hee
was
yong
and
naturally
enclined
to
martiall
affaires
,
and
also
because
hee
hoped
while
the
Emperour
was
busied
with
the
Princes
of
Allemaine
,
with
whom
the
king
had
good
intelligence
,
to
recouer
the
duchie
of
Milan
,
in
the
which
as
also
in
diuers
other
parts
of
Italie
he
had
many
good
friends
.
But
the
warrs
of
Germanie
had
a
speedier
end
then
hee
expected
,
after
the
which
the
Emperour
held
him
play
in
so
many
places
,
that
hee
had
no
leasure
to
looke
ouer
the
mountaines
in
a
good
many
yeares
after
this
,
and
sped
but
euill
when
he
toke
that
enterprise
in
hand
as
heereafter
you
shall
heere
.
And
so
it
appeereth
that
whatsoeuer
man
purposeth
God
disposeth
afterwards
thereof
as
it
pleaseth
him
.
Gonzague
as
you
haue
heard
besiged
Parma
,
&
the
Pope
on
the
other
side
,
to
distract
the
kings
forces
besieged
Mirandula
.
But
the
King
auowing
the
truce
to
bee
broken
,
beecause
of
Monsieur
d'Andelots
imprisonment
aboue
mentioned
,
sent
to
Brissac
new
supplies
into
Piemont
,
commaunding
him
not
onely
to
succour
Parma
and
Mirandula
,
but
also
to
endamage
the
Emperours
dominions
in
those
partes
by
all
the
meanes
he
mought
.
Wherevpon
the
saide
Brissac
wanne
diuers
townes
in
Piemont
&
in
the
Marquisate
of
Montferrate
from
the
Imperialls
,
and
put
the
whole
Duchie
of
Milan
into
so
great
feare
that
Gonzague
was
forced
for
the
defence
thereof
to
abandon
the
siege
of
Parma
&
retire
thether
.
The
Pope
also
preuailed
no
better
beefore
Mirandula
,
but
lost
many
of
his
men
before
the
towne
,
and
among
the
rest
his
Nephew
Giouanni
Battista
de
Monte.
Wherfore
seing
his
hope
frustrate
for
the
recouerie
of
Parma
and
Mirandula
,
and
being
consumed
with
the
charges
of
the
warres
,
and
farther
perceauing
a
new
tempest
readie
to
arise
against
the
Emperour
from
Duke
Maurice
,
and
other
princes
of
Germanie
,
with
whom
while
the
Emperour
was
busied
,
himselfe
by
the
French
mought
be
vtterly
ruinated
:
Wherevnto
I
also
adde
that
the
king
had
alreadie
forbidden
any
cause
whatsoeuer
to
be
remoued
out
of
his
realme
to
Rome
,
which
was
no
small
blow
to
the
Popes
purse
,
and
farther
had
vtterly
refused
to
send
any
of
the
Clergie
of
his
Realme
to
the
counsell
of
Trent
or
to
accept
that
as
a
generall
counsell
,
and
had
also
perswaded
the
Swyssers
to
doe
the
lyke
,
greatly
to
the
derogation
of
his
authoritie
pontificall
:
for
these
reasons
I
say
the
Pope
ended
the
warres
of
Parma
and
Mirandula
,
and
not
onely
forsoke
the
Emperour
,
but
also
deliuered
into
the
hands
of
the
Earle
of
Mirandula
all
those
fortes
that
during
the
siege
thereof
had
bene
built
at
the
Emperours
charge
,
so
that
by
the
Popes
treason
the
French
held
Mirandula
made
impregnable
by
the
Emperours
purse
.
The
kings
nauie
also
vpon
the
sea
toke
diuers
Flemish
and
Holandish
shippes
of
great
price
,
and
the
Turke
likewise
about
this
time
wanne
Tripoly
in
Africk
from
the
Emperour
,
which
the
sayde
Emperour
toke
very
grieuously
and
attributed
the
losse
thereof
to
the
king
by
whose
perswasion
the
Turke
conuerted
his
forces
thither
as
the
Emperour
sayde

they
leuyed
a

The

betweene
the
Emperour
and
these
Allemaine
Princes
,
accordingly
as
was
agreed
betweene

and
the

entered

with

vnto

Wherevpon
the

came

a

was
there
fought
betweene
the
king
and
him
,
in
the
which
the
successe
on
both
sides
was
so
equall
that
the
victorie
can
iustlie
be
attributed
to
neither
part
,
some
call
it
but
a
halfe
battaile
.
Notwithstanding
this
was
the
battaile

The

You

how
while

put

.
Wherewith
he
being
not
a

offended
,
after
the

siege
was
ended
commaunded
the
Viceroy
of
Naples
to
spoile

,
and
that
hee
had
alreadie

the

,
taken
diuers
places
from

,
and
was
gone

the
sayd
Marques
raised
his
siege
from

Syena
,
and
went
with
his
whole
power
to
succour
the
Duke
of

,
wherevpon
Strozzi
leuied
his

marched
to
encounter
the
Marques
and
giue
him
battaile
,
in
the
which
the
sayde
Strozzi
was
ouerthrowen
and
put

The

betwene
the
French
and
Spanish
,
which
of
the
two
Princes
first
brake
the
truce
.
The
French
say
the
Spaniard
first
brake
it
by
inuading
the
Pope
,
whom
the
king
as
an
obedient
sonne
to
the
Church
was
bound
to
defend
.
But
the
answere
herevnto
is
easie
,
for
besides
that
the
inuading
of
the
Pope
being
an
indifferent
friend
to
both
the
Princes
could
not
bee
a
breach
of
the
truce
towards
the
French
king
:
it
is
also
most
certaine
that
the
first
iniurie
proceded
from
the
Pope
,
towards
the
king
of
Spaines
friends
and
confederats
,
and
therefore
the
French
were
not
to
ayde
him
in
an
euell
cause
.
But
admit
the
ayding
of
the
Pope
were
no
breach
of
the
truce
:
yet
the
King
ought
not
to
haue
proceded
farther
then
to
send
the
Pope
ayde
,
but
hee
inuaded
king
Philip
before
he
tooke
weapon
in
hand
,
in
Milan
,
in
Piemont
,
in
Artoys
,
and
in
Flaunders
,
which
could
not
bee
other
then
a
flatte
breach
of
the
truce
.
But
to
retourne
to
the
warres
of
Italie
.
The
Duke
of
Guyse
by
the
Popes
perswasion
,
and
vppon
promise
of
ayde
from
him
,
was
passing
with
his
armie
towards
the
realme
of
Naples
with
purpose
to
inuade
it
.
But
seeing
the
Duke
of
Alua
to
make
head
against
him
,
and
being
also
disapoynted
of
the
ayde
promised
him
by
the
Pope
,
he
was
forced
to
retire
with
his
armie
,
being
in
very
pore
estate
and
cursing
the
Pope
and
all
his
trecheries
.
While
these
matters
thus
passed
in
Italie
,
the
Queene
of
England
by

entered
into
an
vnnecessarie

Notwithstanding

The

on

side
in

tooke
diuers
places
from
the
Pope
,
who
in
the
end
seeing
the
Dukes
forces
so
great
that
he
came
without
resistance
euen
to
Rome
gates
,
and
that
the
Duke
of
Guise
in
verie
poore
estate
was
reuoqued
home
into
Fraunce
:
made
peace
at
Caui
with
King
Philip
(
contraty
to
his
promise
made
to
the
French
King
)
and
obtayned
better
conditions
of
him
than
he
deserued
,
and
among
the
rest
of
the
conditions
this
was
one
that
the
Duke
of
Guise
should
returne
home
in
safetie
,
and
he
&
his
armie
bee
well
intreated
wheresoeuer
they
passed
through
king
Philips
dominions
,
which
was
all
the
recompence
the
French
receaued
at
the
Popes
handes
,
for
the
great
losses
they
had
receaued
in
Italie
by
his
meanes
,
such
commonly
is
the
ende
of
all
vnnecessarie
warres
.
The
King
being
much
grieued
with
these
his
manifolde
losses
,
and
supposing
his
honour
to
be
stayned
if
he
atchieued
not
some
enterprise
that
might
counteruaile
these
his
misfortunes
,
so
soone
as
the
Duke
of
Guise
and
Strozzi
were
returned
with
his
forces
out
of
Italie
by
sea
,
and
Monsieur
d'Aumalle
by

,
ioyned
to
them
a
great
army
of
Swissers
and
Almaines
who
vnder
the
leading
of
the
said
Duke
of
Guise
were
sent
to
besiege
Calais
in
the
verie
middest
of

.
Strozzi
not
long
before
the
comming
of
the

,
had
beene
brought
in
disguised
apparaile
into
the
towne
by
a
French
man
an
inhabitant
thereof
,
and
had
veiwed
all
the
fortisications
both
within
the
towne
and
without
,
and
the
garison
within
it
for
the
defence
thereof
,
which
was
very
weake
,
and
to
say
the
truth
the
said
Strozzi
was
the
onely
author
of
this
enterprise
They
began
the
siege
the
first
day
of
Ianuarie
,
and
tooke
the
towne
the
morrow
after

BVt
the
King
supposing
this
reuenge
of
his
losses
not
to
be
sufficient
as
yet
,
determined
to
attempt
farther
.
Wherfore
in
the
beginning
of
Iulie
he
sent
Monsieur
de
Termes
to
inuade
Flaunders
,
who
tooke
Dunkerke

But

met
with
the
French
as
they
retired
towards

vpon
the
sandes
betweene
Dunkerke
and
Grauelin
,
where
he
charged
them
,
and
by
the
helpe
of
the
English
Nauy
,
which
by
chaunce
sailed
at
that
time
close
by
the
shoare
,
and
discharged
their
great
shot
into
the
middest
of
the
French
troups
,
they
were
deseated
and
Termes
himselfe
taken
prisoner
,
to
the
great
astonishment
of
all
Fraunce
,
which
in
sower
yeares

had
receaued
three
great
ouerthrowes
,
the
first
in
Italie
,
the
second
at
Saint

,
and
the
third
this
heere
mentioned
.
And
thus
the
King
not
beeing
contented
with
a
reasonable
reuenge
,
but
seeking
to
recouer
all
his
honour
,
lost
euen
that
which
hee
had
in
part
recouered
before
,
and
put
both
himselfe
and
his
Realme
into
greater
daungers
than
euer
heeretofore
they
had
beene
in
.
Termes
had
left
behinde
him

enseignes
of

who
being
in
the
middest
of
their
blouddie
execution
,
were
all
surprized
by
the
Burgundians
and
cut
in
peeces
.
The
Duke
of

hearing
of
this
ouerthrow
retired
into

in

The

seemed
not

Notwithstanding

saue
CALAIS
,
which
King
Philip
would
haue
in
any
case
restored
to
the
English
againe
,
and
the
French
would
by
noe
meanes
part
with
,
which
matter
was
so
whotlie
debated
betweene
them
,
that
all
the
treatie
had
assuredlie
broaken
of
,
if
newes
had
not
beene
brought
from
the
Queene
of

,
that
shee
was
contented
to
accept
of

peace
,
with
these
conditions
,
that
at
eyght

Calais
should
bee
restored
to

agayne

fiue
hunfiftie
thousand

for
assuraunce
whereof
shee
should
haue
delyuered
vnto
hir
foure
hostages
of
the
nobilytie
of
Fraune
such
as
shee
would
demaund
.
This
article
beeing
agreed
vpon
peace
was
concluded
beetweene
these
Princes
the
third
of
Aprill
,
and
solemply
proclaimed
with
great
ioye
:
Thus
the
king
hauing
concluded
peace
to
his
great
comfort
with
all
his
enemies
,
and
beetrauthed
his
Daughter
to
the
king
of
Spayne
,
by
meanes
of
the
which
allyaunce
hee
assured
him selfe
of
an
euerlasting
amitie
with
that
Prince
:
beganne
to
embrew
his
handes
in
the
bloud
of
the
LVTHERANS
,
and
committed
BOVRG
and
foure
other
Iudges
of
the
Law
to
MONTGOMERIE
Captaine
of
his
Guarde
,
who
sent
them
prisoners
to
the
Bastile
,
where
they
were
layde
in
yrons
.
The
only
cause
of
their
emprisonment
was
,
for
that
they
had
delyuered
out
of
prison
certayne
Lutherans
,
and
had
forborne
to
publish
the
kings
bloudy
edicts
till
a
generall
or
a
nationall
councell
should
take
order
in
so
wayghtie
a
cause
.
This
beeing
done
,
the
king
in
great
triumph
departed
to
his
Daughters
mariage
,
who
was
maryed
to
king
Philip
by
his
Deputie
the
Duke
of
Alua
,
who
represented
the
king
his
Masters
person
in
this
case
:
which
beeing
accomplished
the
king
gaue
himselfe
to
sports
and
pastimes
,
and
the
eight
and
twenteth
of
Iune
entered
into
the
Lists
to
iust
,
and
continewed
so
long
therein
,
and
ranne
so
many
courses
three
dayes
together
,
that
with
excessiue
trauayle
his
whole
body
was
become
stiffe
,
wherevppon
diuers
of
the
nobilitie
and
especially
the
Queene
his
wyfe
besought
him
to
runne
no
more
,
the
rather
because
that
night
the
Queene
had
dreamed
that
shee
saw
him
wounded
to
death
,
&
diuers
other
prognostications
of
his
death
are
also
written
which
I
ouerpasse
.
But
he
refusing
all
perswasions
,
&
despising
his
wiues
dreame
,
&
all
the
other
prognostications
,
entered
againe
into
the
listes
,
&
ranne
diuers
courses
excellently
well
,
for
he
was
a
perfect
man
at
armes
.
At
the
last
he
called
foorth
Montgomerie
,
the
selfe
same
that
had
caryed
BOVRG
and
the
other
foure
Councellours
to
prison
,
as
before
you
haue
heard
.
Montgomerie
had
runne
diuers
courses
the
day
before
,
&
had
sayled
in
them
all
,
for
the
which
cause
hee
was
loath
to
come
forth
.
But
being
constrained
by
the
king
,
in
the
ende
foorth
he
came
being
reserued
by
God
to
giue
one
sound
blow
at
the
last
,
to
counteruaile
all
his
faylings
before
:
For
as
the
king
and
hee
met
together
with
great
violence
a
splenter
of
Montgomeries
staffe
which
brake
all
to
sheuers
,
strake
the
kings
head-peece
full
vpon
the
visard
,
which
being
vnbuckled
either
through
negligence
,
or
because
the
king
would
haue
it
so
,
meaning
to
make
this
his
last
course
,
flew
vp
,
in
such
sort
that
one
of
the
splenters
strake
the
king
full
in
the
right
eye
and
entered
into
his
very
braine
,
which
put
this
poore
Prince
to
extreame
paine
.
Vpon
the
ninth
of
Iulie
he
caused
the
mariage
of
his
sister
&
the
duke
of
Sauoy
to
bee
accomplished
without
any
pomp
,
which
should
not
haue
bene
solempnisated
till
eight
dayes
after
,
and
the
next
day
he
dyed
of
the
sayde
hurt
.
The
wound
soone
made
an
ende
of
his
owne
life
,
but
his
realme
hath
bled
of
that
wound
euer
since
,
&
the
blood
is
hardly
stenched
as
yet
.
This
king
liued
one
&
forty
yeares
,
and
reigned
twelue
yeares
and
3.
moneths
,
and
tenne
dayes
.
Thus
haue
I
continued
as
compendiously
as
I
could
,
the
Historie
of
Fraunce
from
Charles
the
eighth
till
the
death
of
Henry
the
second
,
namely
til
the
beginning
of
their
owne
ciuill
broyles
and
dissentions
which
because
they
containe
nothing
but
murthers
,
massacers
,
trecheries
,
treasons
,
and
no
orderly
disciplined
warres
,
are
nothing
pleasaunt
for
mee
to
write
,
nor
I
thinke
acceptable
to
any
man
to
reade
,
&
much
lesse
fit
to
be
annexed
to
the
martiall
actes
of
those
Princes
,
whom
I

in
this
Historie

Notwithstanding
if

writing

Cap.
12.
The
conclusion
of
the
Historie
.
NOw
to
conclude
this
Historie
,
can
we
haue
any
more
notable
examples
than
these
heere
aboue
mentioned
to
proue
that
mans
cogitations
are
vaine
,
and
all
his
thoughts
wicked
,
for
if
you
consider
how
all
these
Princes
tossed
and
turmoiled
themselues
with
continuall
warres
,
what
infinit
treasures
they
consumed
,
what
slaughters
they
made
of
their
subiects
,
what
sacking
and
burning
of
townes
,
defiling
of
yong
Maidens
and
Virgins
,
murthering
of
women
and
Children
,
with
all
such
like
mischiefes
as
be
appendant
to
the
warrs
,
and
that
is
worst
of
all
,
charging
their
owne
soules
with
manie
promises
and
oathes
which
they
neuer
ment
to
performe
when
they
sware
them
,
neither
performed
at
all
when
they
had
sworne
them
.
And
if
we
farther
consider
how
little
they
haue
effected
and
brought
to
passe
of
their
owne
desires
by
all
these
their
bloddy
Martiall
actions
,
with
the
which
they
troubled
the
world
by
the
space
of
many
yeares
:
we
cannot
but
confesse
and
say
with
the
Psalmist
.
Hee
that
dwelleth
in
the
Heauen
shall
laugh
,
the
Lord
shall
haue
them
in
derision
.
For
first
of
all
consider
well
the
example
of
Lodouic
Sforce
surnamed
the
More
Duke
of
Milan
,
hee
poisoned
his
nephew
to
obtaine
therby
the
said
Duchie
,
and
set
all
Italie
on
fier
by
calling
in
the
French
to
establish
him
therin
,
but
himselfe
was
within
5.
yeares
after
taken
prisoner
by
the
French
,
and
put
into
a
dongeon
wher
he
miserablie
ended
his
life
,
his
eldest
sonne
Maximilian
being
restored
to
the
said
Duchie
of
Milan
by
meanes
of
the
Swissers
,
the
Pope
,
and
the
Venetians
,
was
within
three
yeares
after
likewise
taken
prisoner
by
the
French
,
and
in
Fraunce
ended
his
daies
.
Afterward
his
other
sonne
Francis
was
established
in
the
said
Dutchie
by
the
Emperour
Charles
,
but
with
such
slauish
conditions
that
he
rather
deserued
the
name
of
a
noble
slaue
than
an
honourable
Prince
,
and
in
the
end
died
of
poison
as
it
was
thought
,
and
was
the
last
of
this
wicked
race
of
Sforces
,
&
after
his
death
the
Emperour
seazed
all
the
Duchie
of
Milan
into
his
owne
hands
whose
race
holdeth
it
yet
,
and
shall
doe
so
long
as
it
pleaseth
God
:
And
all
these
miseries
fell
vpon
the
said
Lodouic
and
his
sonnes
within
the
space
of
34.
yeares
.
Now
way
likewise
the
example
of
Pope
Alexander
the
sixt
,
and
Valentinus
Borgia
his
sonne
.
The
said
Valentine
in
his
fathers
life
time
obtained
so
many
conquests
in
Italie
,
some
by
armes
,
some
by
crueltie
,
some
by
treason
and
trecheries
,
some
by
periurie
,
and
by
all
other
wicked
meanes
that
may
be
imagined
,
that
all
Italie
stoode
in
feare
of
him
,
and
he
was
growen
to
such
a
pride
in
himselfe
,
that
hee
gaue
Aut
Caesar
aut
nullus
for
his
deuise
.
The
Father
poisoned
himselfe
with
the
same
wine
that
he
had
prepared
for
the
poisoning
of
diuers
cardinalls
his
enemies
,
and
so
fell
himselfe
into
the
pit
which
he
had
digged
for
others
,
and
the
son
after
his
fathers
death
was
spoiled
by
Pope
Iulius
of
all
that
he
had
conquered
in
Italie
,
and
the
King
of
Fraunce
toke
from
him
all
his
estates
that
he
held
in
Fraunce
.
Wherefore
he
fled
to
Consalue
vnder
his
safe-conduct
,
and
remained
with
him
a
while
at
Naples
in
great
kindnes
in
outward
apparance
.
But
soone
after
by
King
Ferdinands
commandement
,
hee
was
sent
prisoner
into
Spaine
by
the
said
Consalue
,
who
also
tooke
from
him
,
the
safe-conduct
that
he
had
giuen
him
.
In
Spaine
he
was
emprisoned
in
the
Rocque
of
Medina
del
Campo
,
from
whence
by
cunning
he
escaped
,
and
went
into
Nauarre
,
where
hee
liued
a
while
in
very
base
and
miserable
estate
,
and
in
the
end
was
there
slaine
.
The
Venetians
likewise
for
hatred
they
bare
against
Lodouic
Duke
of
Milan
aboue
mencioned
,
called
Lewis
the
twelfth
into
Italie
to
conquer
the
said
Duchie
,
and
had
for
their
part
of
the
bootie
the
countrey
of
Guiradadda
deliuered
vnto
them
by
the
King
.
But
soone
after
the
same
king
toke
it
from
them
againe
,
&
became
their
deadly
enemie
,
so
that
notwithstanding
all
their
charges
employed
in
those
warres
and
diuers
other
since
:
yet
hould
they
not
at
this
day
one
foote
of
ground
in
Lombardie
more
then
they
did
before
those
warres
began
,
and
in
other
parts
of
Italie
lesse
.
Againe
fower
kings
of
Fraunce
successiuely
,
namely
CHARLES
the
eight
,
LEWIS
the
twelfth
,
FRANCIS
the
first
,
&
HENRY
the
second
,
by
the
space
of
three
score
yeares
and
better
,
made
continuall
warres
in
Italie
,
with
infinit
expences
of
money
,
toyle
of
themselues
,
and
the
death
not
of
so
few
as
a
hundered
thousand
of
their
subiects
,
for
the
duchie
of
Milan
&
the
realme
of
Naples
,
and
what
haue
they
gotten
in
recompence
therof
,
onely
this
that
they
hould
not
at
this
day
one
foote
of
Land
in
neither
of
both
those
countreys
.
Likewise
Charles
the
Emperour
who
was
so
ambitious
a
Prince
that
hee
thought
to
haue
swalowed
vp
both
Fraunce
and
Germanie
,
was
chaced
out
of
both
those
countries
with
great
ignominie
,
and
was
neuer
able
to
hould
no
not
one
pore
towne
in
either
of
both
those
realmes
,
&
in
the
end
through
moodinesse
of
his
euell
successe
,
gaue
a
deffiance
to
all
the
world
,
and
dyed
in
an
Abby
among
a
companie
of
Monkes
.
Lastly
king
Henry
the
eight
who
was
so
noble
a
Prince
,
and
obtained
so
many
conquests
in
Fraunce
both
in
his
youth
and
in
his
age
,
what
hath
he
lest
to
his
posteritie
in
that
Countrey
,
for
his
infinite
charges
employed
in
those
warres
?
not
one
towne
,
no
nor
one
foote
of
French
land
.
These
examples
I
thinke
may
suffice
to
teach
Princes
to
bee
wise
,
and
not
to
attempt
ambitiouslie
vnnecessarie
warrs
,
seeing
the
sequell
that
enseweth
therof
,
but
to
liue
peaceably
at
home
,
to
entertaine
the
good
will
of
their
neighbours
by
all
the
good
meanes
they
may
,
to
se
iustice
done
among
their
subiects
which
is
their
principall
charge
,
and
especially
to
ground
all
their
actions
vpon
God
,
who
is
the
guyder
of
all
their
enterprises
,
and
the
giuer
of
all
good
successe
.
Happie
is
the
Prince
that
thus
gouerneth
his
subiects
and
happie
are
the
subiects
that
liue
vnder
such
a
Prince
.
