Christendome thought it better for him to ende the peace with some aduauntage theÌ„ that the Turke should begyn the warre with too much strength therfore in sommer .1550 he sent Iohn de Vega Viceroy of Cicile Andrea Dorea into Barbaria who wan the strong towne of Affrica from Dragut Raies sometyme a Pirate and now the Turkes chief doer in all the affaires of Affrike and mare mediteraneo This Court raised vp other rumors of this brech with the Turke how that this enterprice was made for Seripho sake a hethen kyng But the Emperours frend in Barbaria to whom Dragat Rayes had done great wrong yet men that knew the truth and are wont also to say it haue told me that the towne of Affrica stode so fit to annoy Spayne for the Turke when he lift that the Emperour was compelled to seeke by all meaner to obtaine it much fearyng lest when he was absent in Germany the Turke would be too nigh and to homely a gett with hym in Spayne whensoeuer the peace should be expired The whole story of winnyng Affrica ye may read wheÌ„ you list beyng wel written in Latin by a Spaniard that was present at it Affrica was earnestly required agayne by the Turke and fayre promised agayne by the Emperour but beyng in deede not deliuered the Turke for a reuenge the next yeare first assaulted Malta and after wan Tripoly from whence the Turke may easely and soddenly whensoeuer hee list set vpon Cicelie Naples or any cost of Italie or Spayne and most commodiously what soeuer the Emperour doth hold in Barbary â–ª so that the gayne of Affrica is thought nothyng comparable with the losse of Tripoly When Tripoly was besieged by the Turkes Monsieur Daramont was sent Ambassadour to Constantinople from the French kyng and ariuyng by the way at Malâ—a hee was desired by the great master of the order to go to Tripoly and for the frendshyp that was betwene Fraunce and the Turke to treat for the Christians there Daramont did so and had leake of the Turkes generall to enter the towne and talke with the Captaine And by this madnes they within yelded on this condition to part safe with bag and baggage which was graunted by the generall But assoone as the Turkes entred the towne they put old yong man woman and child to the sword sauing two hundred of the strongest men to be their Galley slaues for euer The generall beyng asked why he kept no promise made this aunswere If the Emperour had kept faith with my master for Affrica I would not haue broken with them of Tripoly and therefore sayth he with Christen men which care for no trothe promises may iustly be broken This Turkish crueltie was reuenged this last yeare in Hungary when lyke promise of lyfe was made and yet all put to the sword the Christians biddyng the Turkes remember Tripoly To such beastly crueltie the noble feates of armes be come vnto betwixt the Christen men and the Turkes And one fact of either side is notable to bee knowen yet horrible to be told and fouler to be followed and it is pitie that maÌ„s nature is such as will commonlie commend good thynges in readyng and yet will as commonly follow ill thynges in doyng The Bassâ— of Budâ— tooke in a skirmish a geÌ„tleman of the kyng of Romanes for whose deliuery men for entreaty and money for hys raunsome were sent to Budâ— The Bassâ— appointed a day to geue them aunswere and at time and place assigned called for them and sent for the gentleman likewise And soddenly comâ— out two hangmen bare armed with great butchers kniues in theyr handes bringing with them certaine â—andoggeâ— musled kept hungry without meate of purpose the Bassa bad them do their feate who commyng to the gentleman stripped him naked and bound him to a piller after with their kniues they cut of his flesh by gobbets and flang it to the dogges Thus the poore gentlemaÌ„ suffred grief great for the payne but greater for the spight nor so tormeÌ„ted in feelyng his fleshe mangled with kniues as in seyng him selfe peece meale deuoured by dogges And thus as long as hee felt any payne they cut him in collops and after they let their dogges lose vpon him to eate vp the residue of him that the grief which was ended in him being dead might yet continue in his frendes lookyng on They were bad depart and tell what they saw who ye may be sure were in care enough to cary home with them such a cruell message Not long after this three Turkes of good estimation and place were taken by the Christen men for whose raunsome great summes of gold were offred Aunswere was made to the messenger that all the gold in Turky should not saue theÌ„ And because ye Turkes will eate no swines flesh you shall see if swine will eate any Turkish fleshe And so likewise great bores were kept hungry in sight of the messenger the three Turkes were cut in collops and throwne amongest them For these foule deedes I am not so angry with the Turkes that began them as I am sory for the Christen men that follow them I talked with a worthy gentleman this day both for his great experience and excellent learnyng Marc Anthonio d'Aâ—â—la Ambassadour of Venice with the Emperour who told me that the great Turke him selfe Religion excepted is a good and mercyfull iust and liberall Prince wise in makyng and true in performyng any couenant and as sore a reuenger of troth not kept He prayed God to kepe him long aliue for his eldest sonne Mustapha is cleane contrary geueÌ„ to all mischief cruell false gettyng he careth not how vniustly and spendyng he careth not how vnthriftely what soeuer he may lay hand on wilye in makyng for his purpose ready to breake for his profite all couenantes he is wery of quietnes and peace a seeker of strife and warre a great mocker of meane men a sore oppressor of poore men openly contemnyng God and a bent enemy agaynst Christes name and Christen men But to go forward with my purpose The Turke beyng onest disclosed an open enemy to the Emperour many meane men begaÌ„ to be the bolder to put out their heades to seeke some open remedy for theyr priuate iniuries Fraunce beyng at euery mans elbow to harten and to helpe whosoeuer had cause to be aggreued with the Emperour And first Octauio Duke of Parma much agreued as nature well required with his fathers death besides that fearing the losse not onely of his state but also of his lyfe fell from the Emperour in the end of the yeare .1550 Pietro Aloysio Farnesio sonne to Papa Paulo tercio Duke of PlaceÌ„tia father to this Duke Octauio Duke of Parma which maried the Emperors base daughter and to Horatio Duke of Castro who of late hath maried also the French kynges base daughter and the two Cardinals Alexandro and Ramusio Farnesy was slaine men say by the

meanes of Ferranto Gonzaga gouernour of Millan by whose death the state of Placentia beloÌ„ging then to the house of Fernesia came into the Emperour handes The whole processe of this mans death is at length set out in the stories of Italie my purpose is onely to touch it because hereby rose such a heate betwixt the whole famely of Fernesia and Don Ferranto Gonzaga as hath stirred vp such a smoke in Italy betwixt the Emperour and Fraunce as is not like to be quenched but with many a poore mans bloud as Horace noteth wittely out of Homer saying What follies so euer great Princes make The people therfore go to wrake Octauio beyng sorest greeued with his fathers death and beyng best able to reuenge it was so feared of Gonzaga that he thought hym selfe neuer assured for Petro Luis death as long as Octauio his sonne should lyue for men neuer loue wheÌ„ they haue iust cause to feare but must nedes still mistrust without all hope of reconcilyng whom they haue before hurt beyoÌ„d all remedy of amendes And yet I heard a gentlemaÌ„ of Millan say who was sent hether to the Emperour by Gonzaga that Octauio is such a Prince for good nature and gentle behauiour that he supposed there was not one in Italy but did loue hym except it were his maister Gonzaga These two Princes beyng neighbours the one at Millan the other at Parma shewed smal frendshyp the one to the other But Octauio was euermore wrong to the worse by many and sundry spites but chiefly with dayly feare of hys life by poysoning for the which fact certain persons in Parma were taken and layd fast Neuertheles Octauios nature is so farre from seekyng bloud and reuenge and so geuen to pitie and gentlenes that although they went about not onely to geue away his state by treason but also to take away his life by poysonyng yea and after that the deede was proued playnly on them and sentence of death pronounced openly agaynst them yet he gaue them lyfe and libertie which would haue taken both from hym And when Monsieur Thermes earnestly told him that where the euill were not kept in with feare of Iustice the good should neuer lyue in suretie and quietnes his aunswere was that he so abhorred the sheddyng of bloud in others as he would neuer wash his handes in any let his enemies do to him the worst they could Addyng that he thought it his most honor to be vnlykest such for his gentlenes which were misliked of all meÌ„ for their crueltie wherby he hath wonne that he which of good nature can hurt none is now of right loued of all and onely hated of him whoÌ„ no man in Italy for his cruelty doth loue And this talke is so true that it was told in an other language but in the selfe same termes at an honorable table here in Bruxels by a gentleman of Millan an agent in the Court a doer for Gonzaga who the same tyme was prisoner in Parma And although Octauio by good nature was harmeles in not seekyng reuenge yet he was not careles by good reason in seekyng hys remedy but made oft great coÌ„plaintes of his grieues to the Emperour which were not so hotely made but they were as coldly heard that at leÌ„gth Octauio findyng least comfort where of right he looked for most ayde seyng that displeasures could not be ended in Gonzaga nor could not be amended by the Emperour then he compelled agaynst his nature turned his hate due to Gonzaga to reuenge this vndeserued vnkyndnes in the Emperour euen as Pausanias dyd with Phillip kyng of Macedonie who conqueryng with pollicie and power all outward enemyes was slayne when and where he thought him selfe most sure of his dearest freÌ„d for vnkindnes because Phillip ought and would not reueÌ„ge Pausanias on him that had done him a foule displeasure Octauio seyng what was done to his father euen when hys graundfather was Byshop of Rome thought that now as his house decayed so his iopardy encreased And therfore agaynst a desperate euill began to seeke for a desperate remedie which was set from Rome a shop alwayes open to any mischief as you shall perceiue in these few leaues if you marke them well Octauio coÌ„plained to Iulio tercio of the wroÌ„ges of Gonzaga of the vnkindnes of the Emperour desiryng that by his wisedome and authoritie he would now succor him or els not onely he should leese his life but also the Church of Rome should lose her right in Parma as she had done before in Placentia The Byshop gaue good eare to this talke for he spied that hereby should be offred vnto him a fit occasion to set the Emperour and Fraunce together by the eares He thought the Emperour was to bigge in Italy hauyng on the one side of Rome Naples vnder his obedience on the other side Siena Florence and Genoa at his commaundement besides Placentia Millan Monteferrato and a great part of Piemount The Emperour beyng thus strong in Italy the Byshop thought his own state to be his so loÌ„g as it pleased the Emperour to let him haue it therfore if Parma were not left an entry for Fraunce to come into Italy he might ouersoone be shut vp in present miserie when all outward ayde should be shut out from him The Popes counsel was that Octauio should put him selfe vnder the French kynges protection whom hee knew would most willingly receiue him Parma lying so fit for the French kyng when soeuer he would set vpon the enterprice of Millan This practise of the Pope Monsieur de Thermes the French kynges Ambassadours dyd vtter before the consistorie of Cardinals at Rome prouing that the Pope not the kyng his master was the occasion of that warre When Octauio with the whole house of Farnesia became thus FreÌ„ch the Emperour more fearyng the state of Millan then lamentyng the losse of Octauio persuaded on his side the Byshop of Rome to require Parma as the Churches right to punish Octauio as the Churches rebell promising that he him selfe as an obedient sonne of the Church would stretch out his arme and open his purse in that recouery of the Churches right neuertheles the Byshop must beare the name of the warre because hee might not breake peace with Fraunce Thus Princes openly coÌ„tenaÌ„cing quietnes priuily brewyng debate although they got others to broch it yet God commoÌ„ly suffreth theÌ„ selues to drinke most of the misery thereof in the end The Byshop seyng that he must either begyn the mischief or els it would not on so fast as he wished to haue it set lustely vpon it and first cited Octauio after excommunicated him and shortly after besieged Parma ayded both with meÌ„ and money by the Emperour which thyng the French kyng began to stomach thinckyng that the Emperour dyd offer him both wrong dishonor in not suffring him beyng a kyng to helpe a poore man that fled to his ayde And thus these two Princes first
