of Frāce by the horssemen of Gonzague Duke of Niuers nere to the towne of la Charité whiche hath a bridge ouer the riuer of Loyre and remained till that time in the power of those of the Religion by reason of the great number of thē there inhabiting This troupe was of those horssemen whiche the King hath accustomed to keepe in ordinarie wages in euery countrey whereof the most parte were Italians countrey men to their Captaine Lewes Gonzague to whome the Queene mother had giuen the daughter and heire of the Duke of Niuers in mariage They requested of the townesmen that they might make their musters within the towne saying that they had receyued warrante from the King so to do and shewed the Kings letters therefore At Lions the gouernoure of the towne commaunded a view to be taken of all those that professed the Religion and their names to be written in a boke and broughte vnto him which booke shortly after according to the successe was called the bloudy booke After the mariage ended at Paris which was the time that the Admirall had appointed to returne to his owne house he moued the king concerning his departure But so great was the preparation of playes so great was the magnificence of banquets and shewes and the King so earnestly bent to those matters that he had no leysure not onely for waightie affaires but also not so much as to take his naturall sleepe For in the French court Dauncings Maskings stageplayes wherein the King exceedingly delighteth are commonly vsed in the night time and so the time that is fittest for counsell and matters of gouernance is by reason of nightly riottous sitting vp of necessitie consumed in sleepe So great also is the familiaritie of men and the womē of the Queene mothers traine and so great libertie of sporting entertainment and talking togither as to forein nations maye seeme incredible and be thought of all honest persons a matter not very conuenient for preseruatiō of noble yong Ladies chastitie Moreouer if there come any pandor or bawde oute of Italie or any Scholemaster of shameful and filthie lust he winneth in short time maruellous fauour and credit And such a multitude is there begonne to be of Italians commonly throughout all Fraunce specially in the court since the administration of the realme was cōmitted to the Queene mother that many doe commonly call it Fraunce-Italian and some terme it a Colonie and some a common sincke of Italie These madnesses of the Courte were the cause that the Admirall could not haue accese to the Kings speache nor entrance to deale in waightie matters But whē they that were sent from the refourmed Churches to complayne of iniuries commonlye done to those of the Religion vnderstode of the Admirals purpose to departe they did with all speede deliuer to him their bookes and petitions and besoughte him not to departe from the Court till he had dealte in the cause of the Churches and deliuered their petitions to the King and his counsell For this cause the Admirall resolued to deferre his goyng for a while till he mighte treat with the kings Counsell concerning those requests for the King had promised him that he would shortly entend those matters and be present with the Counsell himselfe Besides this delay there was another matter that stayed him There was owing to the Rutters of Germanie whiche had serued on the part of the Religion in the last warre great summes of money for their wages in whiche matter the Admirall trauelled with incredible earnestnesse and care Concerning all these affaires the Admirall as he determined before hauing accesse and opportunitie for that purpose moued the Kings priuie Counsell the .22 daye of August which was the fift daye after the king of Nauarres mariage and spent muche time in that treatie Aboute noone when he was in returning home from the coūsell with a great companie of noblemen and gentlemen beholde a Harquebuzier oute of a windowe of a house neere adioyning shotte the Admirall with two bullets of leade through both the armes VVhē the Admirall felt himselfe wounded nothing at all amazed but with the same countenance that he was accustomed he said through yonder windowe it was done go see who are in the house VVhat manner of trecherie is this Thē he sent a certayne gentleman of his company to the king to declare it vnto him The king at that time was playing at Tennise wyth the Duke of Guise Assoone as he heard of the Admirals hurte he was maruellously moued as it seemed and threw away his racket that hee played with on the grounde and taking with him his brother in lawe the king of Nauarre he retired into his castle The gentlemen that were with the Admiral brake into the house from whence he receyued his hurte there they found only one woman the keper of the house and shortly after also a boy his lackey that had done the deede and therewithall they founde the harquebuze lying vppon the table in that chamber from whēce the noyse was heard him that shot they found not for he in great hast was runne away out at the backe gate and getting on horssebacke which he had wayting for him redy sadled at the dore he rode a great pace to Sainte Anthonies gate where he had a freshe horsse tarying for him if neede were and another at Marcelles gate Then by the kings commandement a great number rode out in post into all partes to pursue him but for that he was slipped into bywayes and receiued into a certaine castle they could not ouertake him At the sure of the king of Nauarre and the Prince of Conde and other the King by and by gaue commission for enquirie to be made of the matter and committed the examining thereof to three chosen persons of the parliament of Paris Thuan and Morsant and Viol a counseller Firste it was found that the same house belonged to a Priest a Canon of saint Germaine whose name is Villemure which had bene the Duke of Guises scholemaster in his youthe and still continued a retayner towarde hym Then the woman whiche we said was founde in the house being taken and broughte before them confessed that a fewe dayes before there came to hir one Chally sometime a maister d'hostel of the Duke of Guises house and now of the Kings courte and commaunded hir to make muche of the man that had done thys deede and to lodge him in the same bed and chamber where Villemure was wont to lie for that he was his friende and very familiar acquaintance and that Villemure would be very glad of it The name of him that shot was very dilligently kepte secret Some say it was Manreuet whiche in the thirde ciuill warre traiterously slew his captaine monsieur de Mouy a most valiante and noble gentleman and straightway fled into the enimies campe Some saye it was Bondot one of the archers of the Kings guarde VVhen the womans confession was broughte to
