him Afterward y e Babilonians trusted him with the whole army the which he betrayed to Darius and made also that he recouered the whole citye the whiche he had nowe besieged syxe monethes and a whole yeare As for Darius gaue hygh thankes to thys zopyrus for hys faithfulnesse for he set hym afterwarde before all the princes of his kyngdome And as a pomgranate was geuen hym he sayde He woulde wysh him no better thinge in this lyfe than that if he might get so many zopyries as there are graines in this apple For therby would he signifie that a kynge can haue no worthier treasure nor no stronger fortresses than faythful frendes and counsellers Of Darius Warres in Grece THE Persians assayed to drawe by claime to them the kingdomes of Macedony and Grece because they bordered vpon Persia But because God hath prefixed euerye royalme as it were certayne boundes the whyche it can not passe therfore coulde the Persian kinges subdue nor make subiectes to theyr empyre nother the Macedonians nor the Grekes Wherfore happened about that tyme in Grece many and greate chaunces the which as they are many euen so to rehearse them all ordely were to longe but I shall rehearse them all ordely were to longe but I shall rehearse some of them howbeit none saue the very best and that brefely The Persians sendinge Ambassadours to Amyntas kynge of Macedouy desyred that he woulde yelde hymselfe to them Amintas being afrayd because of the Persians power graunted willingly to do their request in a maner prostrate treated messengers very courteously And whan a royall banket was ordeined for y ● Ambassadours after their wil they desired to haue brought to them noble women and ladyes for to garnyshe the banket Amyntas which durst denye them nothynge commaunded to brynge them Whan the Persians were now droncken they dalyed wyth the gentle women vncourteously insomuch that theyr vnmanerelynesse yrked and displesed kyng Amyntas and his sonne Alexander the yonge king and by reason of the shamefulnesse and reuerence of age desyred Alexander his father the kynge Amintas that departing out of the company he would go to bed he wold remayne with the gestes As the father went now away Alexander faynyng myrth he suffred the Persians to daly and playe more frelier wyth the women at the last he prayed them all to ryse and suffre the ladyes to go a lytle apart for they should strayght way returne better trymmed The nobles of the Persians suffred that wyllingly In the meane season caused Alexander the fayrest yongmen apparelled wyth womens garmentes to returne into the banket and hyde sweardes vnder theyr garmentes wherewyth in daylienge they should slaye the Perses the which was done For the Persyans were kylled of euery one of these yonge men and thus was theyr vnshamefulnesse greueouslye punished This Alexander is rehearsed amonge the greate grauntfathers of Alexander After this rebelled the Grekes also which were vnder Darius in the forepart of Asia and taking the citye Sardis burned it and to this dyd the Athenians ayde them For one Histieus a noble prince sente a seruaunt to their captayne and lest the matter should be disclosed polyng his seruauntes heade he prynted vpon hys heade letters conteynynge this sentence that they should disceuer and rebell to the kynge afterward as the heare was growen agayne he sent no letters but this seruaunt to the capitaine wyth this message only that he should klyppe of his heare and loke vpon his heade the whiche whan the capitaine had done straight waye fell he from Darius But thys traytour was kylled and Histieus was hanged and the commotion beynge swaged wyth these remedies went no farther This and other lyke gaue Darius occasion to gather a great hoost namely a hundreth thousand footemen and ten thousand horsemen and to sende them into Grece to be reuenged of the Athenians for the sedition and vproure They pytched their tentes two myle from Athenes Whan nowe some counseled not to wythstande the enemies but yf they besieged the citye to defende it manly onely Miltiades counsellinge the contrary shewed that the syege should be heauy and verye intolerable for the communalty but with a sodayn inuasyon myght the enemyes be lyghtely vanquyshed They folowed Miltiades counsell whom also they made captayne of the warre the Athenians made an army agaynst the enemies of ten thousande nother had they any succourse out of the other cyties saue of one thousand men that the city Platea had made out And wyth thys small army was that greate and chosen company of the Persyans discomfyted and layed doun and thys battayll deserued a very great prayse for it deliuered all Grece from a great and incredible feare where wyth she was no lesse taken at that tyme than yf at oure tyme the turke shulde inuade Germany We must not ouerpasse here what recompense the Athenians haue made finallye to Miltiades and how they haue requyted hym for thys good dede For besyde this victory had he done other great actes for the commune welth Wyth chyualry had he added other cities and yles wherewyth he augmented the empire and dominion of the Athenians But because greate vertues can not want the enuy and detractions of euell men it was procured by the people and broughte to passe that M●ltiades was cast into the commun preson vntyll he payed to the communalty thre hundreth thousande crownes But whan he was not able to paye that summe and beganne nowe to be sycke of the longe presonment and stenche his sonne Cymon went into preson to delyuer the father at the last whan the father was deade a very ryche citysin maryed Myltiades doughter and disbursynge out the summe of money he delyuered Cymon out of preson Can not good men be duely rewarded of the communaltye on thys wyse Of Kyng Xerxes DArius had two sonnes the elder was begotten ear he had the kingdome offred but the yonger called Xerxes was in y● tyme of the kyngdome of hys mother Atossa that was Cyrus doughter The same by reason he was of both parentes of the kynges bloude ▪ he succeded his father beyng dead in the royalm that the kingdome myght remayne by the yssue of Cyrus The elder brother suffred this wyth a great modesty of mynde stryuynge in no manere wyth his brother Xerxes As now the hoost of y ● Persians was ouer throwen in Grece Darius assembled a new army but in thys appoyntynge dyed he Wherfore Xerxes straight before hys raygne accomplished the preparation that hys father had begonne and entred into Grece with a moost puyssaunt army insomuch that some haue writtē that neuer was so great an army assembled before at one tyme as was kynge Xerxes armie Iustine sayeth that of his own kingdomes were seuen hundreth thousand men in armoure and of the other that were confederat with hym thre hundreth thousand men Though it semeth not wel to

king Ferdinandus prepared hymselfe wyth hys affynytye towardes the solemnysatyon of the maryage of hys doughter whyche was betroughted to Sygysmunde the younge kynge of Poles Whyche feaste was kept and celebrated wyth great pompe and solemnytye in the cytye of Cracowe whyche is the chyefe cytye of the Lande of Poles called Polonya ▪ begynnyng the .iiii. daye of maye and contynuyng manye dayes

and had no delyte in pastymys and myrth While there was suche myrth and pastime vsed in the Lande of Poles the Turke prepared hym selfe in Hungary to bryng a present vnto kyng Ferdinando at that feaste in so muche that the .xxiiij. day of Iuly next folowyng he beseged the stronge Castell of Grane with a great power and brought with hym about a fyfty great peces of ordinaunce all wall breakers wherewith he shott both nyght day very ●uttragiously and cast downe the walles in many places so that they of oure syde within the Castell could not occupie their great ordinaunce by the space of two

appurtenaunces belongyng to the Landgraue whiche also kylled certain husbandmen at the takyng of them But the Landgraue and his men were quiete and peaceable vntyll the tewesday the .xx. daye of October within night And then about midnight the watche worde was geuen that euery man shoulde be ready with his weapon and so the hole hoste which after the common sayeng of warriours contained an hūdreth thousand men a great nōbre to be assembled within the space of one moneth marched ouer a certain water called the Rume which the Landgraue had caused to be furnished ouer with brydges accordingly For what Henry of Brunswike had caused to be concluded and determined in the meane season was refused for diuers good causes and early in the mornyng they came to an hill not farre from the Brunswykers Campe by a landmarke whiche the Landgraue caused hastely to be dygged vp and cast downe in many places that he myght brynge thorough his armye without stoppe or let For the Brunswykers intended there to stoppe thē of their passage whome the Landgraue at the last was fayne to beate away with his ordinaunce Nowe whē the armis of y e Landgraue of the other were both brought through y e Lādmarkes vpō the plaine of y e hil ther were also brought through into y e felde thre great slynges certain Canons whiche as sone as the enemies were espied were discharged shot among the thickest of them But as soone as the Brunswykers sawe this they dyd furthe withseke meanes to flee and turned thē selues towardes an hyll lyeng by a wood whome the horsemen folowed without delay When duke Henry sawe thys that there was suche shuting towardes his hooste and that they were put to flyght ▪ all his bolde courage was done and his proude harte fainted wherfore he sent incontinently to Duke Maurice desyryng to impetrate some grace fauour for hym at y e handes of the Landgraue And although the Lād graue shewed hymselfe gentyll ready yet would he not trust hym for he suspected y ● Duke Henry hys Sonne sought wayes to escape but marched strayghtwayes wyth his hooste and artyllery towardes hys enemies and shot among them fearcely vntyl suche tyme as Duke Henry and his sunne Charles victor thorough the Counsayll of Duke Maurice yelded and submitted them selues into the handes of the Landgraue At whiche tyme the Landgraue made vnto Duke Henry this sharpe oration Yf thou myghtest haue somuche power ouer me as I haue nowe ouer the surely thou wouldest not saue my lyfe But I wyll vse my selfe better towardes the then thou hast deserued at my hande Why hast thou presumed to disobeythe Emperoures maiestie and to refuse seques●racion For if thou haddest obeyed thou shouldest not haue brought thy selfe into thys trouble neyther should so many poore men haue bene endamaged vndone and destroyed And furth with he committed hym and hys Sonne to the kepynge of certayne of hys chyef gētylmen which toke them both into their custody Whyle these thynges were a doyng betwene these two prynces the Landgraues company both on horseback and on fote pressed in among the company of Duke Henry in suche sort that but fewe of them should haue bene left on lyue yf Duke Maurice had not the sooner aduertysed the Landgraue thereof who as then rode hastely among them and with much a do stylled and pacifyed hys men and turned them backe from fyghtyng and shutyng Nowe when the people was qualifyed and pacified the Landgraue called Duke Henryes company before hym and required thē to sweare that within the space of thre moneths next ensuing they should worke nor pretende nothyng agaynst the Euangelicall confederation Whiche some of them promysed without delay but the horsemen departed by heapes with opē banners without any othe or promyse made whom the Landgraue pursued in haste and ouertoke the next day wherefore they attempted to make resistaunce but when they sawe that they were ouermached they layed downe their banners and made an othe not to enterpryse ought agaynst the sayde confederacion within the space of syxe monethes When this was done both the father and the sonne of Brunswyke was with a strong garde caried to Cassell and the father from thence into the Castell of Zigenheim After thys dyd the Landgraue take in agayne the lande of the sayde Duke Henry and caused thinhabitauntes of the same to sweare agayne of newe to the confederation of the Gospell and consequētly turned hym selfe agaynst the Erles Ihon of Shauenburgh Otto of Rithbergh whiche are both lonemen to the Landgraue and yet had succoured them of Brunswyke with men artillery and other necessaryes insomuche that Iohn Erle of Shauenburgh was deposed from his stronghold Buckēbourgh which was geuen to his brother and other of the stocke to enioye on this conditiō that they should not suffre hym to come in agayne oneles he were before sufficiently agreed with the sayde confederation for all hys offences committed against them But Ritbergh was geuen vp to the Landgraue by the possessours thereof When all this was done and by Goddes grace finysshed without greate bloudshedyng the warriours being honestly contented and payde were licensed to departe euery man home to his owne All these actes haue I drawen and extracted out of the Copie of the Land graue therfore described them so muche the more at large while suche writynges whiche are called newes are cōmonly soone dilated Neuertheles consideryng that thereby the common sorte of people and our posteritie may haue a shorte and sure information and declaration of these marciall affayres I truste that no wyse man
