THE LIFE OF Iasper Colignie Shatilion sometime great Admirall of FRAVNCE IN THE borders of Bresse not farre from Burgundie there is a Towne of greate antiquitie called Colonie with a castle adioyning thereto sometime of verie greate strengthe in respect whereof in the time of our forefathers it was called in the vulgar tongue the fortresse that is to say the bulwarke or defence of all the countrey about it The Lordes of that towne and castle were after the accustomed maner of their auncetors called the Lords of Colonie but afterward the name was corrupted among the Frenchmen they were called the Lordes of Colignie It is an old opinion among the inhabiters there and it disagreeth not with Caesars writings that it is the same place wherein Caesar at his arriuall with his armie in Fraunce heard the Ambassadors of the Burgonions Niuernoys complayning of the Svvitzers for comming into Fraunce with an armie and for wastinge their countrey For the next hill retayneth the name of Iulius and is called Iules mount vnto this day and the towne hard by it is named Cesaree This is certeine that the Lordes of Colignie had verie greate lands and possessions in old time in that countrie that the Townes of Naūtua and Mouluet and all the territories of those Cities were vnder their iurisdiction Whereof manie other things are a record specially the standard of measures which beare the name of Colignie measures euen vnto this day in the Townes villages and manors thereabouts and are receaued from that Colignie by the inhabitants of those partes The armes or cognisance of the howse of Colignie which they giue after the auncient maner of noble and worshipfull families is a crowned Eagle and it is certeine that that howse had the right of souereintie which after the custome of antiquitie is called Royalties so as they had power of life and death ouer the folke of their seniorie with authority to pardon such as were condemned to die and to coyne money stamped with the marke of the crowned Eagle and to rayze taxes and subsidies vpon their tenaunts and fermors when neede required Therfore according to their so great abilitie they fownded a greate nomber of Religious howses whome they indewed with verie greate reuenewes among which was the Abbey of Marent situate in the Earldome of Avvssone the Abbeys of Momerline and Shelliom in the Countrie of Bresse and Colignie in Burgundie all which they indewed with like priuiledges and fraunchizes as the house of Colignie it self had so did they also to diuers townes as Treffort Iasseron S.

bownteowsenesse I cannot discharge my dewtie towards you without making humble petition to you too vowtsafe too remedie the greate number of hurlyburlyes that haue kept your Realme occupyed now a good whyle Now come I too the Flaunders matter Neuer any of your aunceters had so notable an occasion of welspeeding Many Cities of nether Dutcheland do sew for your frendship as you know and are desirous to commit them selues to your protection This occasion I see to bee openly skorned in your Court and to bee taken from you throwgh the fault of a feaw Now alate the army that Moūsyre Genlys led was surpryzed of the Duke of Alua by a trayne and for the most part discomfited and put too the swoord You knowe what a sort of Catholikes were in that armie Now what Religion suppoze you them too bee of or what mynd thinke you that they beare towards their owne countrymen and followers of the same religion which make but a mock at so greate slawghter of them A strawe can scarce be stirred in your secret counsell nor any voyce bee vttered there but it is byandby caryed too the Duke of Alua I beseeche you can wee hope for any thing when they that are of the priuie counsell with your self or your brothers do blowe abrode euen your secretest deuyces too straungers yea and to your enemyes Sir I would verye fayne that you had a care of this thing and I beseeche you so haue hereafter The last which I would wish you too haue no lesse care of is the obseruing of your Edict of pacification You knowe you haue oftentymes confirmed it by othe and you knowe that not only forrein nacions but also your neybowrprinces and freends are witnesses of the oft renewing of the same othe O Sir how vnseemely is it that this your othe should bee counted welneere but for a iest and moccage as it is now comonly taken Will forrein Princes and nacions make any account hereafter of you or of your promis Within these feawe dayes past as a Nurce was carrying home of a yong babe from baptim not farre from Troys in Shampayne and was returning from a sermon that was made in a certeine village by you assigned for the same purpoze certeine seditiowse persones which lay in wait by the way killed both the Nurce and the chyld and somme of the companie which had bin bidden to the Christening Consider I beseeche you how horrible the owtrage of that murther was and how well it may stand with your honour and dignitie too suffer so greate owtrages vnreuenged and vnpunished in your kingdome Too this his oration the king answered thus that he neuer dowted of his faythfulnesse but tooke him for a good subiect a valeant man and an excellent Captein euen for such a one as none was comparable too him in all his Realme And if I had had any other opinion of you quoth he I woold neuer haue doone as I did It was marked aduyzedly that the King answered not one woord concerning the Flaunders affaires and that he answered to the third poynt thus That he ment nothing more than that his Edictes of pacification should bee kept faithfully and seuerely and that for the same cawse he had sent commissioners intoo all partes of his Realme for witnesse wherof he cyted foorthwith the Queene his moother who turning too the Admirall sayd my Lord there is nothing trewer Commissioners are sent foorth intoo all partes Yea quoth the Admirall of that sort of men which valewed my head at the pryce of fiftie thowsand Crownes Then sayd the King my Lord Admirall it is too bee feared least this contention impaire your health it is better for yow too take your rest the hurt is yours but the despyte is myne But I sweare too you by the lyfe of God that I will punish this fact so seuerely as it shal bee remembered for euer Wee haue a woman and a boy in prizon which were taken in the howse Is it your desire too haue anie too sit vppon the examinacion and iudgment of them As for that matter quoth the Admirall I referre it too your maiesties owne discretion and iustice Notwithstanding forasmuch as you requyre mine aduice I wold wish that Mounsyre Cauanie and Mounsyre Masparotte were called too the dooing of it Also the Admirall named a third persone but he that is the witnesse of this talke hath forgotten his name The Admirall added surely I think there needes no farre serche too bee made for the author of this deede Uppon theis woords the king and the Queene Mother went neerer the Admirals pillow and talked with him softly Of which communication he that stoode by the beds side could heere nothing else but that at the last the Queene sayd Although I be but a woman yit I am of opinion that it is to be loked too betimes The king at his going away connseled the Admirall too bee remoued into the palace and so sayd the Countie Rets once or twice too the Admirals sonnylaw too the other that stoode at the beds side adding further that he feared that the men of Paris woold make such a stirre as the king shuld not wel be able to appeaze It was answered him that none of all the Surgions allowed that deuyce but were all of opinion that the peyne of his wounds being so greene wold increace by the shaking of his bodie And as for the Parisians they were no more too bee feared than a sort of women so long as the king continued his faithfull good will towardes the Admirall For the name of King was of such estimation euery where throwghout all Fraunce and specially in Paris that the very mention therof woold owt of hand appeaze the comon people were they neuer so furiowse out of their right wits Then the king wold needes see the brazen pellet wherwith the Admirall was wounded and asked of him whither he felt anie great peine when his finger was cut of and his arme launced And wheras he that shewed him the pellet had the sleeue of hys cote alberayed with blud the king demaūded of him whither that were doone with the Admirals blud or no and whither much blud had issewed from hys woundes or no. Too whom the other answered as he thowght good Then I am sure quoth the king that there is not a stowter nor a constanter man too bee found this day in the world and therwithall he deliuered him the pellet agein Which when his mother cōming after him had behild I am glad quoth she that the pellet is owt of his flesh for I remember that when the Duke of Gwise was slain in his camp some surgiōs told me that although ther had bin some poison mixed with it yit there was no daūger when the pellet was once out Then said another Madame we were not so contented but we gaue the Admiral a drink to help him betimes if any poyson had bin mixed with it Anon after whē the
