* 33 Alvarus de luna jussu Regis Alvarus de luna was by the Kings Command put to death Aeneas Sylvius in the forty seventh book of his History of Europe speaking of the manner of the death of Alvarus saith non ignavus occubuit non lachrymans aut ejulans sed alacri vultu quasi ad epulas invitatus numeratis suis in Regem ●egnumque meritis cervicem gladio praebuit he dyed not a childe weeping and wailing but relating the good service he had done for his King and Country chearefully submitted to the sentence of the Law * 34. Ludovicus potentissimus Rex Lewis the powerfull King of Hungary It is worthy our labour to enquire wherein his power did consist was it in the extent of his dominions no for they were no other then were left him was it in the multitude of his people or in the abundance of his Treasures no for many of his predecessours did equalize him and exceed him in them e Caetera vi aut fraude pertumpas h●●c arx inaccessa hoc inexpugnabile munimentum Cicer. but it was in the true and hearty affections of his people for never Prince did more affect his Subjects nor ever a people more affect a Prince as was manifested by the inconceivable sorrow that was expressed for him both in the time of his sicknesse at his death and after his death Bonsinius writing his History saith that when the people heard of his sicknesse ita vulgo trepidari caeptum est ut suae quisque vitae timere videretur every one began to feare and tremble as if they had been in danger of death publick prayers were made for his recovery and the people in every town and Village went to Church to beg of God not to take him from them moerent juvenesque senesque and when they heard of his death omnia luctus Omnia solliciti plena timoris erant Quocunque aspicies gemitus luctusque sonabant Formaque non taciti funeris instar erat There was nothing heard but lamentations and mourning the mothers with their children came out of every place to bewaile his death with pitifull cries and lamentations as if they had lost the dearest friend in the world some cried they had lost the most indulgent father others the most sweete Prince some the best master others the best Governour there was no praelate or Peere to bee seen with dry eyes universa Hungaria veste pulla triennio luctum regionatim celebrabat nusquam risus sonus jocus chorea aut aliquod festivitatis genus spectatum est by a publick decree it was commanded that for the space of three yeares every one should mourne and all sports should bee laid aside so as in the Prince and People were those old Verses verified Totum est unus homo Regnum Rex caput est Populus caetera membra gerit * 35. Carolum parvum ex Apuleia accersunt They sent for Carolus parvus out of Apuleia The man that was imployed in the businesse was a Bishop named Zagabriensis who upon his arrivall into Apuleia saluted the King with an eloquent Oration to this effect c. The sacred memory of your most Noble Progenitors never to bee forgotten who have ever governed our Kingdom with the greatest Wisdom hath invited us to come u●to you hoping that in th●se our extremities you will not forsake us we are not ignorant most Noble Prince that you are the next Heire to the Crowne and that the government of the Kingdom of right belongs unto you wherefore I am sent unto you by the most powerfull Peeres of the Kingdom to intreate you to take into your consideration our distressed estate and not to preferr an usurpt new authority before the ancient right of the Crowne of Hungary how just our cause is I shall briefly declare unto you After the death of our Noble King who deserved well not only of us but of all the Christian World for his sake we elected his only daughter Maria to be our King and commanded that shee should bee stiled by no other name then by the name of King and caused her to be Crowned with such an applause that there was not more sorrow conceived at the death of her Father then there was joy at her Coronation But it so happened that the Queen-Mother assuming to her selfe the Government of the State during the Minority of the young Queen took into her Counsell one Count Gara and what hee adviseth onely is put in execution the Counsell of the rest of the Nobility being wholly neglected so that neither our Queene Maria nor the Queen-Mother but the Count only governes the Kingdome hee advanceth whom hee will and deposeth whom hee will at which the Peers People are so much offended that setting aside law justice and honesty many robberies are committed many Townes burnt many mens cattell driven away civill discord ariseth between the Peers and many other enormous outrages have been and are committed among the people for reformation whereof I am now sent to your Excellency to intreate you with as much expedition as you can to come into Hungary and to take into your Possession the Kingdom not delivered unto you by us but of right belonging unto you as your ancient Inheritance which you cannot refuse to doe without incurring the most ignominious blurs of sloth and pusillanimity after the delivery of this speech which Bonsinius hath most exactly written in Latine Zagabriensis delivered unto the King the Letters of divers of the Nobility of the Kingdome of Hungary whereby hee assured him of their fidelity towards him the King having read them heartily thanked the Lords and Zagabriensis for their good will towards him and because it was a businesse of the greatest consequence he took three daies respite to returne an answere and in the meane time commanded that Zagabriensis should bee honorably entertained but before the three daies were expired he acquainted his Queene with the effect of the Ambassage who thereupon fell into a great passion and with teares cried out O quam malis hue auspiciis infausti ad nos legatiad-venêre O quam depravato cuncta judicio mi Carole pensitasti nescis heu nescis quam gravis fuerit Vngaria malorum omnium officina how unhappily are these Ambassadours come unto us O my Charles how art thou mistaken in entertaining their Ambassage thou doest no● know alas thou doest not know how Hungary hath been the storehouse of all manner of wickednesse how there is nothing but fraud and dissimulation to be found there how they never speak what they think and change their mindes ten times in an houre wherefore my sweet husband O my sweet husband beleeve not their faire promises if you desire the safety of you and yours let the remembrance of King Lewis your noble friend that deserved so well of you and your father never depart out of your memory call to minde I pray you how not long before his death he

which were exceeding great hee ever laboured to keep the King in Warr that so he might be beholding to him to assist him when occasion offered it selfe for he together with his associats did rather aime at their private good then the good of their Countrey But these and the like devises as they are most ridiculous in themselves so they are to none more pernicious then to the Projectors as is manifested in the History of the Constable before mentioned most exactly written by Philip Commines Nicholas Picunnes Generall of the Army of Philip Duke of Millane after that he had brought the Earle of Francisfort and the Army of his confederates into such a straight that he was assured of the victory he broke forth into such a height of insolency that forgetting himselfe and the charge that was committed unto him he calls to minde how long he had served the Duke in the Warrs and that during all that time he had not gotten so much land in his service as would cover his body when he was dead and therefore he began to expostulate what reward should be given for all his services and because it lay in his powet to deliver into the Dukes hands the whole Conntrey of Lumbardy and all those Enemies that did oppresse him he required of the Duke as a reward for his service the City of Placentia the which unlesse hee would grant hee plainly told him he would return home and leave the field this mans insolency so much offended the Duke that rather then he should have his will he was content to leave an assured victory so suffered himselfe to be carried away with the insolency of this man whom no danger or feare of Enemies could ever move a jot wherefore hee concluded Peace with the Earle and commanded Pricinius with his Army to quit the Country accusing fortune as a step-dame whereas there was no fault in her but in Pricinius insolency Tacitus reports of Lentulus Getulicus being made Generall over the Army of the upper part of Germany and being suspected and accused by reason of the inward familiarity between him and Sejanus was so bold as to send Letters unto Caesar shewing that the familiarity between him and Sejanus was not occasioned of his own head but by the advice of Tiberius and therefore it was nor strange but that he as well as Tiberius might be deceived neither could that be imputed unto him as an errour of wilfulnesse for that he ever carried an honest heart to him and resolved ever so to do though he had been often tempted to quit his allegiance and could endure no more to heare that Sejanus should succeed in the Empire then he could endure to heare of his damnation But in conclusion Tiberius and Getulicus made a League as it were that Tiberius should enjoy his Dominions and Getulicus his Province Tacitus affirmes that the bold menacing Epistles which Getulicus writ unto Tiberius did him no hurt at all for Tiberius wisely considering in what case hee stood how he was growen old and not beloved of his Subjects and that he had not power of himselfe suffered him alone of all Sejanus his adherents to live in peace and enjoy his favour But without doubt this did much trouble Tiberius that was of a cholerick disposition and a high spirit and if hee had lived long he would have called him to an account but hee considered that Getulicus lived farr from him and what hee writ proceeded from the bottome of a good conscience and out of an honest heart There is another thing that doth commonly happen to such as are grown proud with prosperity that the same cruelty which they have without controule executed upon their equals and inferiours in the end they execute upon their Soveraign Experience hereof we have in England in Richard Nevill Earle of Warwick who being highly advanced by the King after that he had compassed the death of the Queenes Father her children and many others that were neare and deare unto the King at last was not afraid to rise in Rebellion against the King wherefore * 54 Ne quempiam suorum nimia potestate afficeret 54 Moecaenas wisely counselled Augustus that he should not suffer any of his Subjects to grow too great least thereby they should grow so powerfull as to dare to attempt any thing against him There are others that carry themselves more moderately and warily that relinquish the service of their Prince that raignes and follow and adore the rising Sunne apply themselves to him that is to succeede in the Empire as Macro did but these kinde of people never continue long in favour for by their behaviour to the former Prince they are deservedly had in suspition by the later and undergoe the punishment in his time which they deserved in his praedecessours peradventure they which saucily upbraid their Prince as Clytus did Alexander with what they have deserved are not so much to be condemned as the former that abandon their service yet it is most distastefull to a Prince to be told of any such thing for that they are more pleased in hearing what rewards they have conferred then in hearing what any man hath deserved The deserts of a Subject are so long acceptable to the Prince as it is in the Princes power when hee will to come out of his debt but when he thinkes he hath deserved so much that hee cannot well requite him then doth hee requite him with perpetuall hatred for this very cause did Adrianus Caesar remove Tatianus and his fellow from their jurisdiction and government to whom he was indebted as much as his Empire came to as Spartianus saith but it was imputed to their popularity and if there were no other cause to make a man hatefull in the eyes of his Prince this alone were sufficient for there is no Prince of so poore a spirit or slender capacity that will indure such malepert fellowes for it is naturally ingrafted into Princes not to suffer an equall or a competitor And there is good cause why such men should be ever had in suspition and be neglected by them for that they are easily corrupted and drawn into Rebellion and it is wonderfull to see how that they who have attained to the greatest favour with their Princes are ever buzzing into their eares that they should not suffer their Subjects to grow too great and how in the mean time they so dote upon them that they doe not perceive that they alone are the men of whom they admonish the Prince to have an eye but in the end the Prince by one meanes or other being made sensible of the burthen hee beareth and being weary of them casts them down and if there were no other motive to induce them therunto the too much liberty those men do assume to themselves of doing what they wil and the fear they stād in by reason of them were sufficient to occasion their removall this was the cause why
