Angelo and the Cardinall of Anastase for Legat in Rome to receiue the King who refusing Vaticane lodged in the suburbes And the Pope vnderstāding that he approched to Viterbe although he had giuen some hope of an enterviewe betwixt Viterbe and Oruiete yet he went from Oruiete to Perouse with an intent if the King tooke that course Notable errors of King Charles to recouer An●ona and so retyre himselfe by sea into some place of safety Yet notwithstanding the Kings iust cause of discontent he redeliuered him Ciuitauecchia and Terracine reseruing Ostie the which he left in the hands of the Cardinall of Saint Pierre Bishop of that place The territories of the Church were not spoiled by his a●my onely Toscanelle which refusing lodge his foreward was taken by force and sack● But we must leaue records of our indiscretion in all places His enemies troupe togither during a fruitlesse stay of six or seauen dayes at Sienna we giue them leisure to ioyne their forces Moreouer the Florentins summon the King of his faith promises and to drawe him therevnto the more willingly besides the thirty thousād ducats which they were ready to pay as remayning of their guift they offred to lend him threescore x. thousand ducats move and to assist him in his passage with three hundred men at armes vnder the command of Francesco Secco a braue Captaine and faithfull to the King with two thousand foote Three reasons should mooue the Counsell to accept hereof The want of money the increase of their army and that which did most import the discharge of the Kings faith and royall oath yet a firebrand must begin to smoake and in the end fire all Italie The Earle of Ligni yong and vnexperienced yet fauoured of the King his cousin laboured for the Seigneuries of Pisa and Linorne and the Si●nois required him for their L●rd promising him an appointment of twenty thousand Ducats by the yeare vpon condition he should entertaine three hundred foote for the defence of the place taking away the ordinary gard which the order of Monte Nouo in whose power the gouernment of the Cittie was wont to be held in the Palace The King being young preferred the counsell of young men before the Marshall of Gié King Charles refuseth the Florentins offer the President of Gannai and others well aduised and agrees that he should take the Cittie of Sienna into his protection binding himselfe to defend all that depended thereon except Mon●pulcian● wherewith he would not deale neither for the Florentins nor the Sien●ois But what were the fruites of this conclusion but the shamefull expulsion of this garrison of the Lord of Lisle whom the King had left there for Ambassador by those of the foresaid order who soone after recouered their ancient authority by force Then liued at Florence Friar Icr●sme Sauonar●la of the order of Saint Dominicke in great reputation of a holy life and a graue preacher who by ●is sermons had greatly confirmed the Florentines affection to the King hee had long time f●retold and preached the Kings comming into Italie The predictions o● Sauona●ola saying That he was sent of ●od to punish the Tyrants of Italie that nothing could res●st him that he should enter Pisa and such a day the Estate of Florence should die And in truth Peter of Medicis was banished that day and many other things fell out as he had foretold amongst others the death of Laurence de Medicis and he sayd he knew them by reuelation That the Church should be reformed by the sword He likewise affirmed That notwithstanding the great f●rces of the Venetians the King should returne without any danger to his person that hee should bee incountred vpon the way but the honour should be his had he but a hundred men in his companie That God which had conducted him in his going would gard him in his returne but for that he had not discharged himselfe in the reformation of the Church as he ●ught and had winckt at the thefts insolencies of his troupes That God had pronounced a sentence against him and he should haue his chastisment The which hee himselfe did signifie vnto the King in plaine tearmes adding That if he would take pittie of the people and restraine his men from doing ill and punishe the offenders as his dutie required God would ●evoke or mit●igate his sentence To conclude that he should not thing to be excused for saying I doe no euill A lesson for Kings

death of the Duke of Nemours for if he had liued it is likely that gouerning well his victory hee had with his helpe that giues and takes reaped the fruits worthie thereof But greatnesse comes neyther from the east nor from the west nor from the desert for it is God which gouerns he puls downe one and raiseth an other The Pope still gaped with his olde desire to haue Ferrare in his power But by the intercession of the Marquis of Mantoua the Ambassador of the King of Arragon for that Alphonso was borne of a daughter of olde Ferdinand King of Naples and the Colonnes Alphonso hauing demanded and obtayned pardon of the Pope vpon promise hereafter to do the deeds and duties of a faithfull feudatarie and vassall of the Church Iulius turnes his reuenge vpon the companies wherewith the Florentins had aided the King whome hee caused to bee spoiled by the Venetian soldiars with the consent of the Cardinall of Sion who notwitstanding had giuen them a pasport to passe safely into Tuscane And by the practises of the sayd Iulius who according to the ancient desire of all Popes sought to haue authority in this commonweale the Medicis with the helpe of the Confederats returned to Florence settled themselues by force in the dignity which their father was wont to enioye Italie being for this time freed frō the feare of the French forces the King holding nothing but Bresse Creme Legnague the Ch●s●elet and the Lanterne at Genes the Castells of Milan of Cremona and some other forts all these Confederats gaped after the Duchie of Milan and the Suisses on whome the Pope then partly depended opposing themselues not to suffer this estate to fall into the hands of any other Prince but of such a one as could not maintaine himselfe without their aide and succour Maximilian grandchild to Lodowike Sforce was named Duke of Mil●● who made his entrie in the end of December receiuing the keyes from the hands of the Cardinal of Sion Sforce restored to Milan as confirming the sayd Maximilian That he held the possession of Milan in the Suisses name An honorable act and worthy of their generosity not to yeeld the honour which belonged vnto thē to the other confederats the which notwithstanding t●ey should much esteeme and it may be might haue obtained it for money Nouarre returnes soone after to the obedience of Sforce Then the Genouois recouered the Chastelet of Genes forten thousand Ducats giuen to the Captaine and the Venetians beseeging Bresse Aubigni who defended it resolues to deli●er ●t to the Spaniards to breed a iealousie betwixt them euen as a fewe d●●es before Palisse had giuen Legnague to the Emperour to nourish a discord bred betwixt the Emperour and the Venetians who beseeged it Octauian Sforce Bishop of Lode and gouernor of Milan sent foure thousand Suisses to conquer Creme for Maximilian Sforce but Benedict Criba●io corrupted by gifts deliuered it to the Venetians with the consent of the Lord of Duras who kept the Castell This was of purpose to breede a diuision betwixt the Suisses and the Venetians A counsell generally concluded by the French which remayned of this ship-wrake the which in the end wrought some effects but the losse fell vpon the French for with this first disdaine of the Venetians against the Emperour by reason of Legnague behold a newe leuaine of discontent is laied by the Bish●p of Gurce Maximilians ●mbassador at Rome Hee made great instance that the Venetians should deliuer Vincence to the Emperour wherevnto neither soliciting intr●a●ings nor the Popes threats could induce the Venetians The Pope desyring to gratifie Maximilian that in his fauour he should approue the Coūcell of Lateran against that of Pisa protested to the Ambassadors of Venice A new League where the Ve●●tians are excluded That he should be forced to pursue their common we●le both with spirituall and tempo●all armes So as nothing mo●ed with this protestation the Pope the Emperour the Arragonois renue the league of Cambraye declaring the Venetians to be excluded So the Emperour by the Bishop of Gurce in the next session of ths Councell of Lateran disauowed all them that had vsed his name in the Councell of Pisa and allowed that of Lateran In the meane time the six thousand English promised by Henry King of England were arriued at Fontaraby a Towne seated vpon the Ocean frontier of the realme of Spaine towards France to as●aile ioyntly according to the conuentions of the two Kings of Arragon and England father in Lawe and sonne the Duchie of G●ienne vpon this pretext the Arrogonois had intreated Iohn son to Alain of Albret and King of Nauarre ●but by reason of Katherin of Foix his wife heire of the sayd realme to remayne a newrer betwixt the King of France and him and that for the assurance thereof hee should deliuer certaine places into his hands promising to redeliuer them when the warre should be ended But the Nauarrois knowing well the demanders intent obtaines a promise of succors from King Lewis who to diuert the Arragonois forces treated with the Duke of A●be Lieutenant generall for Ferdinand in this army But when the one partie is vigilant and politike and the other ●louthfu●l there soone appeeres great effects The Industry vigilancie of Ferdinand the slackenesse and too great facility of Lewis who abused with the policie and deuises of his Nephew did equally hurt the Nauarrois who suffred himselfe likewise to bee deceiued with the fradulent hopes wherewith the Arragonois entertayned him who seeing the succors of France farre off Nauarre vsurped by the Arragonois the realme vnfurnished of forces and the places not yet fortified enters into Nauarre takes Pampelune and the other Townes of the realme abandoned by Iohn being vnable to defend it and fled into Bearne And hauing no lawfull title to possesse it publisheth that hee is lawfully seized thereon by the authority of the Apostolike sea whereby the sayd realme was giuen to the first that should conquer it by reason of the alliance which Iohn had with the King of France a sworne enemy to the Church and by the Popes bull both beeing subiect to the censure as heretikes scismatikes Without doubt the Pope holds not this prerogatiue of Iesus Christ to giue kingdomes and to expose them in prey for he exhorted to yeeld and not to take from Caesar and the Apostles did not busie themselues to diuide earthly possessions Moreouer is it lawfull for the Pope to vsurpe an other mans right giue away that which is not his owne and consequently the spirituall sword against those he cannot iudge hauing declared himselfe a party After the Conquest of Nauarre the English perswaded Ferdinand to the seege of Bay●n●e who without this place made no reckoning of the rest of Guienne But he held that which he long wished for as a commodious Country and very necessary for the safetie of Spaine and could not affect the warre
