Hungarians and Ttansiluanians to releeue Newheusel which by the way were ouerthrowne by the Baron de Setchi their Ensignes sent to Vianna The Riuer of Tarose was a great hinderance vnto the Earle of Bucquoy to prepare his battery before the Towne for that thereon hee was forced to erect his mounts to place his Cannon vpon them But Bethlem that slept not in his designes knew well that the losse of that place wherein a part of Bethlems riches and the treasures of the Lords of Hungary are would driue him out of the Countrey hauing receiued a great ayde of Turkes Tartarians being part of the Turkes great Army sent towards Poland resolued by all the meanes that hee could vse to enforce Bucquoy to raise his siege and if it were possible sodainly to surprise him before he could receaue any ayde from the Emperor or any other of his friends and to that end caused the Tartarians to march forward being a kinde of the most inhumane people liuing vpon the face of the earth men whom no paines nor labour can weary and most ready and prompt in their designes and much more in their retraicts who being 6000. men and Bethlem himselfe following with as many Turks Transiluanians and Hungarians they sodainly set vpon the Emperours army that besieged Newheusel on all sides At which time the Earle of Bucquoy that forsooke not the Campe for feare of the Enemy but leauing the signes of an incomparable valour behinde him perceiuing himselfe to be surprized aswell as hee could ranged his men in order of Battaile being resolued in that extremity not to flie nor yet to bee surprized for want of dexteritie but rather to Fight till he dyed for the honour of God against his enemies and in the Emperours cause against his vsurpators The courage of this braue Souldier was not abashed at the sight of the Turbans and Turkish falchions neither yet at Bethlems forces but resolutely determined to sell his life deare vnto them and that if they tooke it from him it should not be so good cheape as they made account of for to flie he saw it was a thing vnworthy and not fit for the courage of such a great Commaunder whose heart was seated in a higher place but resolued rather not to liue after hee should see the ouerthrow and dispersing of his Army and so to become a prey vnto his enemies as also that he could not otherwise chuse hauing the enemy both before and behind him hauing in comparison but a handfull of men in regard of the puissant ayde that came with Bethlem Gabor he defended himselfe with so great valour that it was not possible to see a more furious combat nor a more forcible resistance then then was made on both sides wherein that valiant Captaine almost couered with Arrowes in the middle of his Souldiers was slaine being thrice shot and so fell downe to the ground To the great griefe and sorrow of all his Company who will neuer forget the great courage which that valiant Captain shewed in Flaunders in the face of the Hollanders In Bohemia to the great domage of the Bohemians and before Prague at the ouerthrowe of the battaile there fought against the Prince Palatine And lastly in Hungaria before the Hungarian faces And although this was a great losse vnto the Emperour as also the rest of his Army by his Death was ouerthrowne and put to flight the Siege before Newheusel raised and Bethlem Gabor thereby tryumphed against them to the great contentment of the Emperours enemies Neuerthelesse the said Lords place is already supplyed by three other great Captaines the Marquis of Tieffembach the Earle de Fugger and the Baron de Prenner who with great ayde from the Emperour and other Christian Princes hope well to reuenge the death of their Generall FINIS
