In that tyme the Queene Moother sent messengers oft tymes too the Admirall and also wrate with hir owne hand too the Prince of Condey that he should succour hir and hir yoong children and haue a care of the welfare of the realme The Prince being moued with theis things and moreouer perswaded by the intreatance of moste of the noblemen of Fraunce determined too put on armes and too make warre vppon the howse of Gvvyse too set the King at libertie protesting oftentymes openly that he feared not the slaunderous speeches of some men as thowgh he ment too inlarge the religion by force of armes or too make warre ageinst the king being a chyld For a general assembly of the whole realme had bin hild at Orleance wherin bothe the comons and the nobilitie had requyred the reformation of Religion and afterward an Edict was made in that greate assembly that it should bee lawfull too exercyze the same in suburbes and villages And what ryght in the kingdome of Fraunce had the Duke of Gvvyse being borne in Lorreine Or vppon what grownd should he presume too execute such crueltie vppon the kings subiects Finally there was no good too bee doone ageinst force but by force and therfore he himself did not moue warre but bi warre defend peaceable people ageinst warre made vppon them Saying it was alredy bruted ouer all Fraunce and also reported intoo Germanie that the Duke of Nemovvrs at the prouocation of the Gvvisians had with fayre woordes intyced Henrye the kings brother a little chyld who since that tyme was created king of Poole too haue conueyed him owt of the precint of the Realme which purpoze and drift the chyld bewrayed too his moother and so that discouerie of that matter was at that time in all mennes mouthes that the Gwisians despyzing the authoritie of the generall assembly and of the king executed butcherly crueltie at Vassey with extreme furie and pryde layd violent hāds vppō the king Queene moother caryed them away ageinst their willes to Melune and Paris as seemed moste for the Gwisians commoditie went intoo the borders of Germanie a little before and requested certeine princes of Almanie too bee admitted intoo the nomber of the Protestants Inuited Christopher Duke of Wirttemberg a prince of great corage and wisdome too Sauerne a towne next too Strawsborow where the Cardinall of Loreine made twoo such Sermons openly in the Churche before the sayd Prince and a greate nomber of the professers of the religion bothe Germanes and Frenchmen as he perswaded verye manie that bothe he himself and also his brethren imbraced the Religion and were desyrous too professe their names among the protestant princes When theis things were knowen the prince of Condeyes enterpryze was so well lyked in manie places of Fraunce that within feawe dayes dyuers Cities yeelded themselues too him and ioyned with him in societie of the warre Among those were Orleance Bloys Towres Burgis Roan Lyons Vien Valentia Nemowrs and Mountalbon which were the beginners of the Ciuill warre wherof the butcherly slawghter of Vassey is certeinly knowen too haue bin the cawse Now when as on the part of the protestants the cheef charge of the warres was by comon consent of all men put too the Prince of Condey soodeinly the Prince with lyke consent of all men surrendered the charge of his gouernment too the Admirall and for the singular opinion that was had of his Iustice grauitie and wisdome ordeyned him too bee his leeuetennant and deputie too rule in his sted Whyle these things were a doing the Queene moother began too treate of peace for the dooing wherof she desired the Prince of Condey too come too her tent and to graunte hir the vse of Boigencie for a few dayes which towne hath a bridge ouer the riuer of Loyre and therfore was as shee sayd most fit for cōmunication The Prince vppon single promis made vntoo him without taking of any pledges but onely trusting to the faythfulnesse of his brother the King of Nauarre and too the promises of the Queene mother went to their Cāpe Only he desired the Queene that the Cunstable the Duke of Gvvyse the marshall of S. Andrevves which were comonly called the three rooters vp of the comon weale shoulde depart out of the Campe whyle that communication lasted Which thing being doone the garrison was withdrawen out of Boigencie and the towne deliuered to the Queene Byandby shee manned it and pretending a communication to outward showe of peace reconcylement not only reteyned the Prince but also tooke the towne and fortified it with all things needfull for the warre With which trecherie the Admirall being sore moued determined not to fayle in his dewtie towards the Prince but went out of hand with his horsemen to the Campe of his aduersaries and strake such a terrour into them that the Queene cōmaunded the Prince too be deliuered immediatly And within a fewe dayes after the Admirall leading his armie too Boigencie woone the towne by force not without somme losse of his owne people recouered it agein Abowt the same tyme the Admiralls eldest sonne named Iasper being consumed with sicknesse dyed at Orleance scarce nyne yeeres old but of singular towardnesse which cawsed the Admirall too take his death very sore to hart In the meane whyle the Gvvysians seeing them selues forsakē of many Frenchmen whom the cace concerned and perceyuing that the most part fauored the Prince of Condey mynded too seeke help of forren Realmes And therfore sending money into Svvisserland and into Germanie they hyred footmen of the one horsmen of the other which thing the Admirall did oftentimes avow to be a most sure proof of treason and of their enemy like mind to the Crowne of Fraunce For whither the cace quoth he bee to bee decyded by the auncient maner of the Realme there are publike decrees in force made by act of parlament the authoritie wherof is certeinly knowen to haue bin highest euer since the settling of the kingdome of Fraunce or if the matter bee to bee committed to rightful indifferencie of chalenge who seeth not that the greater part of Fraunce is on our side and that to call in forrein forces to oppresse our owne countrymen is not the nature of a frenchman but the token of a barbarous and sauage mind and a proof of an enemylyke hart Notwithstanding lest the Admiral might disappoynt the willingnes of so many of his freends the expectation of so many cities which had ioyned in freendship with him forasmuch as he was aduertized late afore of the singular good wil of certeine Germane Princes towards the churches of Fraunce to the intent to match straungers ageinst straungers he desired his brother the Andelot to go to those Princes and to sew to them for their helpe which thing he did and within three monethes after brought three thowsand horsmen and six thowsand footemen with him into Fraunce While theis thīgs were adoing word was

sowldiers a feawe dayes respit to refresh themselues he led them to the Citie of Tholowse and tooke manie of the small townes abowt it whereof somme yeelded themselues to his tuicion and freendship and somme were woone by force and yit had he but twoo battering peeces in his hoste which he had browgt with him from Mountalbane When he had set those townes at somme stay he determined to take his iourney to Viuaret and to the riuers side of Rhone And bycawse many had put on armour in Delphinoys that fauored his side and hild certein townes there he sent part of his armie ouer thither to attemp the wynning of mo Cities if he could The performance of which charge was committed to Levvis of Nassawe of whom I haue made mention before who passing ouer on a bridge of boats did strike such a feare into the rest of the people of Delphinoys that they fled all of them intoo the townes Howbeeit forasmuchas he had no battering peeces he thought it was not for him to tarrye there any longer but that he had done ynowgh for the commendacion of his owne valeantnes and therfore when he had wasted their feelds he browght backe his armie agein safe to the Admirall within feawe dayes after which exployt of his purchaced him greate prayse as well among the Frenchmen as among the Almanes both for the noblenesse of his corage and for his skill in behauing him self Anon after the Admirall being appalled with ouergreate labour care and watching fell sicke wherwith although he were sore cumbered yit notwithstanding forasmuchas he thought it best to come to the riuer of Loyre with as much speede as might bee he determyned to tarry long in no place but cawsed himself too bee conueyed with his armye in a horslitter For a two thowsand men were assembled abowt Sharitie and Sanxerre whom he thowght greatly for his aduantage too bee ioyned with him and that so much the rather bycawse Mounsyre Cossey the Marshall of Fraunce whom the King had set in the roome of the Duke of Aniow after the victorie at Santone was reported too bee comming towards him with all the Kings power To whom the Admirall sent woord by a Herault of his that was come intoo his Camp for the raunsoming of prisoners that Mounsyre Cossey should not neede too take so much peynes too come vntoo him for he would visit him with as much speede as he could and ease him of the trauell of that iourney When the armye was come too the Forest behold there came Commissioners ageine from the King too treate of composition and peace For when the Courtyers heard that the Admirall who a litle afore seemed too bee forlorne and past hope of recouerie had gathered so greate a power ageine and renewed his armye they were striken in great feare least the Admirall ioyning with the power of Sharitie shoulde come ryghtfoorth too Paris and set fyre vppon the goodly howses and pleasant manours of the Burgesses of Paris and of the Courtyers neere abowt the Citie after which maner they had heard that he had plaged the Burgesses of Tholowse When the Admirall had gone part of his iourney by horslitter as I sayd before his diseaze began to growe sorer vppon him and the phisicions letted not to say that he could not long indure the force of it specially being ouerloden with so manie cares And therfore the talke of the Commissioners was broken of the treatie of peace was let alone for a time which intermission when certein noblemen of great authority among the protestants tooke in displeazure bicause of the prolonging of the warres made complaint to the Commissioners that it was not meete that the cōmunication of peace should be broken of for the sicknes of the Admirall being but one man for though he happened to die he should leaue a great sort alyue behynd him with whom they might treat of composition the Commissioners made them answere that they woondered very much to see that they perceyued not of what estimation the authoritie of their Admirall was for if he should dye to day quoth they tomorrowe wee would not offer you a cuppe of water as who should say yee knewe not that the only name of the Admiral is more worth among you than such another armie as greate as this Within feawe dayes after when the Admirall was sommewhat cheered and strengthened they fell to consulting agein of peace and certein were chozen too go with the Kings Commissioners and to carye these Instructions with them That nothing was more wished of the protestants than peace nor nothing greeued them worse than warre but yit ther was not any of them which minded not to aduenture much greeuowser peynes yea and death it self rather than to forsake Gods Religion which they had professed Wherfore if the king woold graunt them libertie too vse the pure religion as he had doone in former yeeres and priuiledge certeine townes for the same there was none of them all but he woold most willingly and gladly lay away weapō for euer The Admirall hauing giuen theis instructions too the Commissioners dislodged his Campe and ere long after tooke the Towne of Reneleduc in his way whither certein of the foreryders of Mounsyre Cosseyes hoste were come And from thenceforth there scaped not almost any day without somme skirmish and one day the hartes of all the sowldyers were so inflamed too battell that a little more woold haue made the matter too haue coome too a pitched feeld bycawse that wheras there was but a Brooke betweene bothe the hostes Mountgomrey breaking the aray of the aduersaries Uaward wherof one Mounsyre Valet a Gascon a man of greate estimation in his Countrie had the leading did put them too flyght Within feawe dayes after the king sent Commissioners agein too the Camp too ask trewce but so long till the things concerning the composition myght bee dispatched For the Burgesses of Paris who were of verie great estimation with the king were sore afraid of the wastings and burnings that were threatened them nother is there any kynd of people in all Fraunce that is more feerce in prouoking warre when it is farre of from their doores nor more cowardly in accepting any conditions of peace whan warre commes home to them When the Cōmissioners had gone too and fro on both sides a good sort of tymes at length an Edict was browght from the King wherby he gaue men leaue to exercyze and maynteine the Religion in certeine places and for the assuring therof gaue thē fower cities in pledge namely Rochell Mountalbane Conyak and Sharitie When this peace which is reckened as the third was made and the Kings Edict proclaymed ouer all Fraunce the Admirall hauing first conueyed home the Almane horsmen to the borders of Germanie browght backe the twoo yong Princes of Nauarre and Condey too Roehell too the Queene of Nauarre determyning too abyde there vntill he might perceiue that the peace was throwghly setled
