long delay But he tooke Mountpellier Boucar Lunell and Pozenac and from Pozenac he was repulsed by the treason of a certaine Captayne to whom hee had committed both the Citie and also his daughter which was but two yeeres olde At the last by the kings commaundement M. Coconass and d'Mole were arayned in the Senat of Paris and were condemned of high treason against the kings person the state for which they were put to death and their goods confiscate to the King Rumors were spred abroad that the Momorencies and Marshall Cosse were the chiefe authors of their conspiracies and yet notwithstanding it is euidently knowen that neither Cononas nor d'Mole nor any of those which were apprehended had committed any such thing Men sayd that the Duke of Alanson sought to flee vnto Lodowic Nassau bicause he knew that treason was practised against him The Senate doubted to condemne them for this cause for that the house of Nassau were called by the king in his Edicte his frendes But to the ende the treason might appere by the confession of those that were apprehended the king pronounced Lodowic Nassau to be his enimy And so the Senate gaue sentēce against them Amidst these domesticall confusions of the courte all things were ordered either by blinde treason or els by mad violence Wyse men blamed much the lingering delay of the Marshals who deferring the tyme loste all occasions to bring any thing well to passe and so behaued themselues that they seemed neuer so much as to haue those matters in their thought Notwithstanding it was certainly reported that a great number of the nobilitie of France abhorring long ago the gouernement of the Queene and of straungers bicause they were not only reiected but were also in daunger of their lyfe to fill vp those furies on Saint Barthelmewes day had determined to reuyue againe the authoritie of the States and to reforme all things according to the prescript of the auncient lawes of the Realme To this also there was added a newe cause namely the dispayred health of the king Therefore he being dead it was sayd that their purpose was to giue the gouernement of the Realme vnto the Duke of Alanson in the absence of his brother which was next heire vnto the Crowne It was also necessarie for the peace and tranquilitie of the Realme that Religion should be prouided for We will in another place set downe the forme of that protestation in the which d'Anuill declareth the causes why he armed him selfe Treason also was practised against the Prince of Conde Who at that tyme was at Amiens the chiefe citie of Picardie And hauing intelligence of the treason went out of Amiens a hunting as he pretended according to his woonted manner and so comming home to his house making M. Tore one of the brethrē of Momorencie acquainted with his purpose came with all posting speed into Germany where he was very curteously receyued Within few dayes after the king of Nauar published a bil by which he clered himself from all suspiciō of the said cōspiracie against the king Men said that this was made by the subtil practise of the Queene that the hatred spite of the whole matter might light vppō the heades of the Marshals And thus he beginneth Bicause I vnderstand that certaine deceyuers haue dishonestly and wickedly spred abroad false rumors concernyng mee by the which to the dishonour of my name that duetie which I owe vnto my soueraigne Lord the King is brought in doubt as though I were partaker of that conspiracie lately reuealed at Sangerman I haue I say for this cause intreated the Kings maiestie to giue me leaue to write these things thereby euidently to signify my will vnto all men Therfore my desire is that all men know that the same matter is most false fayned such as neuer came in my mynde And I am so far from being giltie of this facte that I am rather perswaded according to the bonde both of nature and also of deuine and humane lawes to spende my lyfe and goods and to loose my frendes for the dignitie of my soueraigne Lord the King and the safetie of his faithfull subiectes and by all manner of meanes to withstand their enterprises who being Rebelles to the King doe trouble the peace and tranquilitie of the realme The lyke bill also was seuerally published by the Duke of Alanson VVE spake before concerning the comming of Countie Mongomerie into Normandy And hee was not long in the towne of Sanlo but M. Matigon the Kings Lefetenant of the lower Normandy beseeged the same So soone as Mongomerie sawe that the same was beseeged after deliberation had he went out of the towne with a hundred and threescore horsemen for he had not two hundred in all and came to Danfro which as we sayd before he had taken Danfro is a little town of the lower Normandy in the territorie of Passi the Duke of Alansons dominion which towne was hitherto obscure and now by the calamitie of Mongomerie made famous beyng walled rounde about with a weake wal yet notwithstanding fortified with a strong Castell all along the same ran the riuer of Meisne Mongomerie purposed for the refreshing of his horses to tarry there certayne dayes and then to ioyne him selfe to the succours of his fellowes which came dayly out of diuers partes of Normandy and of other quarters therabouts So soone as Mons Matigon heard hereof how that Mongomerie was within the walles of Donfro he came without delay to Donfro leauing parte of his armie at the seege of Sanlo and with the sounde of Trumpets gathered together from all partes a great number of those countrey men and sent vnto the King for more ayde There came therefore vnto him of the Kings Souldiers from all places the citie was beseeged and the walles sodenly battered with great guns Mongomerie at the first sought to deliuer him selfe out of the towne the which when he could not doe hee lefte the Citie and tooke the Castell He had with him scarce a hundred and fyftie Souldiers who being out of hope sought all occasions eyther by colour of eruption or by parley to flee vnto the enemie The Castell was battered with ordinance The fyrst charge Mongomerie valiantly withstoode to the great hurte of his enimies but when he sawe that his men fell away from him and that hee wanted things necessarie for the defence of hym selfe and the Castell hee desired to parley with M. Matigon and yelded him selfe and his men vnto hym vppon certayne conditions namely that hee and his might departe with their lyues that for certaine dayes hee might go whether hee would and that hee should departe without losse of lyfe in safetie so soone as he had deliuered vp the Castell And thus hee yelded vp the castell and hym selfe to M. Matigon Then the Kynges Souldiers runnyng through the breaches of the walles into the Castell slue whomsoeuer they met contrary to their fayth

your maiestie vpon their informations was moued to sende the Duke of Alba out of Spaine into these countries to the intent with armes and force to compel your Maiesties subiectes to that whiche they of them selues haue with al humilitie and obedience at all times offered And notwithstanding that the aforesaide Lordes and Townes of these countries had good occasion to thinke that they shoulde be greatly wronged through force of foraine souldiours and rule of a straunge Gouernour not being of their Countrie nor of your Maiesties kinred or descent but such a one as did beare towardes them a most cancred hatred had meanes sufficient to preuent his comming into the countrey yet because hee came in the name of your Maiestie and to make euident that they had not rebelled or declined from the obedience of your Maiestie trusting to their cōscience and right haue willingly and honorably receiued him with all suche as it pleased your Maiestie to sende with him opening to him the gates of the Townes deliuered into his handes the fortresses and strong holdes and entertayned garrisons onely for that he declared that such was the will and pleasure of your Maiestie to be therby assured of the fidelitie and obedience of your subiectes which were accused to your Maiestie as rebels and traytours Therefore reason would haue required that the aforesaid Duke of Alba should by al meanes and diligence haue informed your Maiestie of such your subiects true obedience and inclination and before hee had proceeded to the executiō of rigour taken good ful information of their complaintes and chiefly touching the bringing in of these newe Bishops and Inquisitors contrarying God and all rightes and that vppon good and true report therof made to your Maiestie redresse and remedie might haue bene had But nowe cleane contrarywise so soone as he was receyued and was in possession of the force and rule of the Countrey hath without keping of any order of Iustice or hauing regarde to the landrightes and priuileges wherunto your Maiestie is sworne not onely put to death and chased away the most part of the Lords and gouernours of these countries by your Maiestie elected and placed but also generally declared all the priuileges and liberties to bee forfaited and the Countrie to be vsed as a countrie newly conquested by force of armes to the vse of him and his associates and so consequently freely to deale with the liues and goods of your subiectes as their lustes and appetites shall require And if possibly might be layde before your Maiesties eyes the excessiue force and not heard off cruelties which here haue bin vsed since the beginning of his gouernement by spoyling robbing chasing away and desolating by apprehending taking banishment and confiscating of goods yea by burning hanging heading hacking racking most horrible and not before heard off tormentes and murtherings of the Subiects of your Maiestie aswell Noble as innoble poore as rich yong as old widowes and orphanes men women and yong maidens of what state qualitie or condition soeuer they were we doubt not but that your Maiestie would be amazed to heare the rehearsall thereof yea and woulde be greeued at the same that vnder your name such vnnaturall crueltie and tyrannie should be vsed as neither Phalaris Nero Pharao Herode or any other Heathen Tyrant could haue inuented the like as now is vsed towardes your faithfull subiects which with their liues goods haue alwayes laboured to keepe the Crown on your Maiesties head against al your enimies And that your Maiestie would also haue taken remorse of so many innocent infants chased away out of their natiue Country into straunge lands so many poore widowes and orphanes and also vppon the lamentable cry of the whole Countrie whiche nowe are suppressed by this moste horrible tirant For there is none whiche could defende or preserue his goods from their auarice their wiues or daughters from their filthy lustes or their liues from their bloudthirstinesse Nobilitie Riches manhood or good seruice done in times past coulde nothing preuaile if once he was entred into hatred of them And without taking regard to the Iudisdictions or ordinarie courses of the countrie hath stopped the Iurisdictions of all Iustices either in ciuil or criminal causes which in any wise concerne the confiscations pronounced in his bloudy Counsel in such sorte as neither spirituall or temporall persones widowes or orphanes hospitals Spittels Lazarous houses or other whiche had good and deuable reuenues amongst that confiscated goods coulde get any payment or satisfaction But the Duke of Alba hath gotten all into his hands without any minde to discharge any the premisses notwithstanding the diuers and earnest solicitations and requestes to him made in that behalfe by the states of the Countries delaying the poore agreeued subiectes with dilatorie and vnfounded apostillations the one alwayes contrarying the other and without sending ouer the matters to the prouincial Counsels or ordinary Iustices to the intent to make thē despaire of any satisfaction to be made by the courte where by proces they haue bin summoned to their excessiue charge and vppon summes of small value haue bene forced to greater charges than the principall hath amounted vnto not suffering any lawful transport to be made of any one debte for the other To consider what number of honest women and yong maydens they haue with force and violence rauished and that the one after the other yea misused some euen to the death Howe often haue they compelled the husband to remaine with the wife and the father with the daughter to force them with their eyes to beholde their most vilanous filthinesse and made them as instrumentes to the accomplishing of their luxurious luste vsing suche vnnatural and beastly fashions that wee are in a manner abashed and astonied to declare the same to your Maiesty Howe often hath it happened that the husbande seeking to defende his wife or daughter of their rauishment that they haue altogither as furious curres run out of the house togither crying Spania Spania murthering a number of the poore commons How m ny women gret with childe haue they ript vp the bellies of and murthered the fruite in their wombes Haue they not fleyed and pulled off the skinne of some men being aliue and headded their drummes with the same skin others haue they not tosted with smal fires nipped thē with red burning tongs euen to the death and consequently murthered a number and made them dye a hundreth deathes How many women haue they chased from their husbands and children from their parentes yea what is there vnder the heauens so honest or holy which they haue not defiled and troden vnder foote Verily amongest all other Nations yea amongst the cruellest the burying of the dead hath alwayes bin permitted and reuerenced But this Tirant in the despyte of God and nature is so obstinate and peruerse that hee hath caused to be taken out of the graue the carcasses of the dead and conueied
