notable experience of his clemencie and valour and thenceforwards the Peace and quietness grew daily more and more in the Kingdom Those of Valencia hearing what his Majestie had done at Valladolid for the Kingdom of Castilla presently sent their Commissioners humbly craving the same grace and favor from the Emperor and in particular they desired his Majestie would bee pleased to remove thence their Vice-Roy Don Diego de Mendoça whom they abhorred exceedingly deriving upon him all the fault of their past Commotions by reason of the many Tyrannies and oppressions wherewith hee had overburthened the people But those Commissioners not coming in the name and with a general power from the whole Kingdom their desires were not granted at that time Whereupon the 12 of November Anno 1522 four other Commissioners were sent with full power from the Kingdom of Valencia to tender without reserv into his Majestie 's hands all their honors lives and fortunes that hee might dispose of them at his will and pleasure absolutely resigning themselvs to his clemencie and desiring onely that hee would give them another Vice-Roy for they could not endure Don Diego de Mendoça and that hee would change som other Officers Which the Emperor to satisfie them did placing in Diego's stead the Queen Germana and making Don Iohn Marquis of Brandeburg her husband Captain General of the whole Kingdom who died in the same year After which the Emperor considering the fidelitie and Roial descent of Don Hernando de Aragon Duke of Calatria who beeing a prisoner in the Castle of Xativa in the time of Troubles the People would have set him at libertie and made him their Captain General and married him to the Queen but hee discreetly refused their offer saying That hee would not go out of prison without the Emperor's consent sent for him to Valladolid where hee did him great honor and respect and having married him to the Queen Germana who was second wife to the Catholick King Don Fernando invested them in the Government of the Kingdom of Valencia SECT XXXII WHilest the Governors of Castilla after this Victorie at Villalar were reducing and settling Segovia and the other Cities of that Kingdom with intent to pass with their Armie to suppress and quiet the disorders of the Toledians The Duke of Naxara came to them at Segovia informing them that a powerful Armie of French under the command of Monsieur de Asparros brother to Monsieur de Lautrech Vice-Roy of Milan was entred into Navarra had taken Pamplona Stilla and divers other places and not content to have run all that Countrie over to which they seemed at first onely to laie claim and that not in King Francis his name but for Don Enrique de la Brit who pretended to bee right owner of the Kingdom of Navarra At last they declared themselvs what reallie they were open enemies and marched with all their forces to assault the Citie of Logron̄o their word was Vivat the King and flower de Luce of France and the Commonaltie of Castilla which was a great argument that some of them held correspondence with the King of France and gave him encouragement to send his Armie thither But the valour and policie of those of Logron̄o was such that the French were enforc't to rais their siege and go away from thence with no inconsiderable loss and the Governors beeing com to succor Logron̄o pursued them and after divers skirmishes they joyned battle in the Pyrenean mountain wherein the French beeing absolutely routed and their General taken prisoner the whole Kingdom of Navarra was presently reduced under the Emperors subjection Who perceiving the animositie of the French King and the means hee used to endammage him in several parts as well in Flanders as in Spain notwithstanding the conditions of peace made betwixt the two Crowns at Noyon resolved at last to paie him in the same coin and take his full revenge of him in Italie To which effect hee first sent Embassadors to Pope Leon desiring his friendship and assistance to drive the French out of Lombardy dispossess them of Milan and restore it to Francisco Sforza Son to Lewis brother to Maximilian from whom the King of France had taken that Countrie and to retake likewise Parma and Placentia which belonged to the Church Hereupon a yearly pension of ten thousand Duckets out of the Arch-Bishoprick of Toledo and as much in lands in the Kingdom of Naples was promised to the Cardinal Iulo de Medicis for Alexander de Medicis base son to Laurencio Son to Pedro de Medicis who was Duke of Vibino The Pope was so far from disliking the motion that hee prepared monie and men to assist the Emperor making the Marquis of Pescara Marquis of Mantua his General who joyning with Prospero Colona Captain General of the Imperial forces they laid siege to the Citie of Parma which after som daies resistance they stormed and sacked The Citie and Castle of Milan they took also after which the Citie of Pavia and all the rest of the Cities and Towns belonging to the State of Milan presently surrendered themselvs This done the Imperialists notwithstanding their Armie was much lessened monie growing short by reason of the Pope's sudden death besieged and took the Cities of Como and Alexandria upon the River Ada in Lombardie About the same time the King of France advanced into Flanders with a very powerful Armie to succor the Citie of Tornay which then was besieged by the Emperors forces but beeing repulsed by Henrie Earl of Nassau and Don Hugo de Moncada hee retreated and the Citie for want of relief was surrendred to the ●mperialists In mean time Francis the first of France nothing dismaied at the crosness of his fortune sent another numerous Armie against Spain building much upon the absence of the Emperor and the distractions in that Kingdom which entring into Navarra by Puerto de Ronces Valles took the Forts of Pen̄ol and Maya and encamp'd before Fuente Ravia a strong place in the Countrie of Guipuzcoa four leagues from Bayona which after ten or twelv daies siege despairing of any succor Diego de Vera the Governor delivered upon condition that the souldiers should all march freely out with bag and baggage the Inhabitants not to bee plundred and have libertie to staie or go out of the Town as they pleased for which hee was afterwards questioned in Castilla SECT XXXIII HEnrie the eighth King of England whom the Emperor and King of France made Arbitrator of their differences having concluded that the French King was the Peace-Breaker sent the Duke of Suffolk who had married Marie sister to Henrie the 8th and Widow to Lewis King of France with a considerable force to join with the Imperialists under the Command of Florencio Egmondio Earl of Bura at the Siege of Hesdin in the frontiers of Flanders which after two moneths time they were compelled to rais by sickness and
