Castile to try whether his Native Air would recover him Sickly Persons especially at the Point of Death fancy whatever they desire Besides he was solicitous to promote the Interest of Castile on account of his Kindred with that King and as Governour to him during his Minority He also was desirous that Kingdom should cast off Pope Benedict as Aragon had done To this purpose he return'd from Perpignan to Barcelona and at the beginning of the Summer set out for Castile Travelling increas'd his Distemper and he was forc'd to take up at Igualada 6 Leagues from Barcelona There the Physicians gave him over and having receiv'd the Sacraments he dy'd like a good Christian upon the 2d of April He was a Prince endu'd with excellent Perfections of a graceful Presence and dextrous at gaining the good Will of all Men. Some accuse him of being very slow for abandoning Pope Benedict for making his Advantage of the Revenue of Castile for being lavish of his own and covetous of what belong'd to others to supply his Extravagances He reign'd 3 Years 9 Months and 28 Days His Body lies at Poblete in a very mean Tomb. By his Will made some Months before at Perpignan he provided for his Children in this manner To Prince John he gave the Estate of Lara and Medina del Campo also the Town of Monblanc with the Title of Duke in Catalonia and several other Towns To Prince Henry he left Albuquerque and to D. Sancho Montalvan He appointed Alonso his eldest Son Heir to the Crown In case all the Brothers should die without Issue he order'd the Sons and Grandsons of his Daughters Mary and Ellenor should succeed yet excluded the Mothers King Ferdinand's Death was the cause that Castile for some time continu'd to give Obedience to Pope Benedict He had many Friends whom he had oblig'd in Castile and particularly the Arch-bishops of Toledo and Sevil D. Sancho de Rojas and D. Alonso de Exea stickl'd for him Fresh Tumults began in Castile which shew'd how necessary the Prudence and Valour of King Ferdinand had been for the Peace of that Country Queen Catherine immediately entred upon the whole Government of the Kingdom She committed the Education of the King to the Arch-bishop of Toledo and joyn'd with him John de Velasco and James Lopez de Zuniga the chief Justice Many complain'd they had no share in the Preferments given and among them were D. Alonso Enriquez the Admiral and D. Ruy Lopez Davalos the Constable At the beginning of the Year 1417 a Truce was concluded with the King of Granada for two Years by which he was oblig'd every Year to release 100 Christian Slaves The Prelates at the Council of Constance attended to all that was for the Advancement of the Church To pacify the Rebellion in Bohemia and reduce the Hereticks they brought their Heads John Hus and Hierome of Prague to that City having obtain'd them a safe Conduct from the Emperor Heresy once fix'd is hard to be rooted out They both fled from the City and being apprehended by Parties sent out after them were publickly Burnt The Hereticks being punish'd and their Heresy condemn'd the Bishops again apply'd themselves to make up the Divisions in the Church On the 26th of July they excommunicated Pope Benedict who only remain'd of the three and depriv'd him of any Right he could pretend to S. Peter's Chair This Sentence being made publick they proceeded to the Election of a new Pope There were present 22 Cardinals of those that had follow'd the three Popes to these were joyn'd 30 other Electors some of them Bishops the others Men of Note all which were shut up in the Conclave All of them to a Man agreed to the Election of the Cardinal Otho Colonna a Native of Rome This was done on the 11th of November and he took the Name of Martin the Vth. The Joy for this Choice was universal for all Nations laying aside former Prejudices submitted to the new Pope Only the King of Scotland and Earl of Armegnac with some few Cardinals for a while stuck to Pope Benedict but they also in a short time forsook him Soon after the Council was dissolv'd but it was decreed they should meet again within 5 Years and the second time 7 Years after that and then at the end of 10 Years and that for ever after there should be a General Council once in 10 Years The new Pope sent two Cistercian Monks to advise Benedict to submit to the Decree of the Council and admonish his Cardinals to leave him They prevail'd not upon Benedict but his four Cardinals who were Spaniards and whom he had retain'd upon promise of Preferment left him and repair'd to the new Pope at Florence This Year was unhappy to France and no less fortunate to Castile for the renewing of the Voyage to the Canaries by consent of the Queen of Castile by which means John de Betancour a French Man who undertook this Expedition subdu'd 5 of those Islands Menante his Kinsman succeeded him Pope Martin gave the Bishoprick of those Islands to a Fryer call'd Mendo. These two fell at Variance and Peter Barba was sent by the King to compose them He bought the Islands for a Sum of Mony of Menante and sold them again to Peter Peraça a considerable Citizen of Sevil whose Heirs possess'd them till the time of King Ferdinand the Catholick who intirely subdu'd and annex'd them to the Crown of Castile This is what relates to Spain The Misfortunes of France happen'd in this manner Henry the Vth King of England demanded of Charles the VIth of France his Daughter Catherine in Marriage which he refusing King Henry sail'd over into Normandy overthrew the French Army took the Dukes of Orleans and Bourbon Prisoners and after a troublesom Siege made himself Master of Roan the Metropolis of that Province This was not all for Elizabeth Queen of France left her Husband and with her Daughter Catherine fled to Tours whence she sent to the Duke of Burgundy who not only secur'd the Queen and her Daughter but also the King and City of Paris Charles the Dauphin made what Head he could against the English and Burgundians The Dauphin and Duke of Burgundy agreed to have a Conference upon a Bridge over the Seine on the middle of which was a strong Barrier the Dauphin invited the Duke to come over to him and some Words arising kill'd him Whether his Life or Death were most fatal to France is doubtful for his Son Philip to revenge the Death of his Father deliver'd up the City of Paris with the King Queen and Princess Catherine to the English whence ensu'd innumerable Calamities which happen'd later and are forreign to our purpose CHAP.

Lope de Haro much commended return'd home having refused Presents that were offer'd him because the King's Treasury was exhausted This Gentleman is said to have built the Town of Haro not far from the River Ebro The King went to Toledo whither he had summon'd the General Assembly call'd Cortes or Parliament and there it was consulted how to settle the Kingdom and recover those places that would not submit This Year was remarkable for great Rains and Floods particularly at Toledo the River Tagus swelled till it came to the Church of S.

King of England and Duke of Normandy and Aquitain After this Alonso King of Aragon had an Interview with his Cousin the King of Castile at Sahagun where a League was concluded between them Thence the two Kings about the beginning of July went to Zaragoça From thence an Embassy was sent to treat about the King's Marriage Cerebrunus Archbishop of Toledo was Principal of the Embassy with him went Raymund Bishop of Palencia and other Prelates and Noblemen At Bourdeaux the Treaty was concluded whence the Lady came into Spain attended not only by those that went for her but by Bernard Bishop of that City and many other Persons of Note Mean while the Kings of Castile and Aragon had made a League Offensive and Defensive against all Princes except the King of England in respect to the Marriage in hand For the more security Cautionary Towns were given on both sides the King of Aragon had Najara and Biguerra he of Castile Ariza and Daroca The Bride being come to Taraçona there the Nuptials were Celebrated with great Pomp in the Month of September The King of Aragon gave her Her Joynter was a great part of Castile Burgos Medina del Campo and many other Towns and half of all that should be taken from the Moors For the King ravished with the beauty of his Bride endeavour'd to exceed all his Predecessors in Liberality Lope the Moorish King of Murcia was doubtless in League with the King of Castile for I find he went to Toledo about this time King Alonso of Aragon was about making War upon him on account that he refused to pay the Tribute he paid to his Father but they agreed and he consented to pay upon Condition King Alonso should not uphold the Maçemutes his Enemies All the Solemnities being perform'd at Taraçona the two Christian Kings parted and publick Rejoicings were again Celebrated at Burgos After that the Troop of Avila which till then had attended the King was dismiss'd Great Privileges were granted to the City Avila for its Fidelity to the King in the worst of times Then the King and Queen set out for Toledo At the same time the King of Aragon with the consent of the Bishop of Rhoda had the Head of Valerius Bishop of Zaragoça translated to that City from Rhoda where it had been till then Garsendis Princess of Bearn by the Death of her Father and Brother did Homage to the King of Aragon and confirmed the contract made that she should not Marry without his leave Some are of Opinion she was Marry'd to William of Moncada a Nobleman and Seneschal of Catalonia of which there is no proof and therefore I thought better to leave it dubious than attempt to decide it on either side CHAP. V. The League made against Peter Ruiz de Azagra
was very bloody Conradin and Frederick had their Heads cut off at Naples a hard Judgment upon such great Princes At this time another Debate arose in Aragon Gerard de Cabrera pretending to the Earldom of Vrgel pleading that his Brother Alonso's Children were not Legitimate Raymund Folch their Uncle by the Mother's side and other Men of Note supported them King Jayme seem'd to espouse Gerard's quarrel and that the more for that he had made over his Right to the King as not able to carry it off himself The King of Granada prepar'd to make War upon Guadix and Malaga and was offended that King Alonso contrary to what had been agreed did underhand support them D. Nun̄o de Lara and D. Lope de Haro being disoblig'd by the King blew the Coals They promis'd the Moor if he would take up Arms not only they but many other Men of Note would go over to him There was some rumour spread abroad of these Practices but there wanted Witnesses to prove the Fact This mov'd the King to go into Andaluzia This Year the King chang'd the Name of the Village call'd S. Peter de Ariznoa in Guipuscoa into that of Vergara and made it a Market-Town The Affairs of Andaluzia being setled and Winter coming on King Alonso return'd to Toledo to entertain his Father-in-law the King of Aragon who came to be present at the first Mass of his Son D.

IX The King of Aragon 's Expedition for the Holy-Land The Kings of France and Navarre and the eldest Son of the King of England move upon the same Enterprize The Nobles of Castile Revolt Troublesin Aragon THE Affairs of the Christians in the Holy-Land were reduc'd to the last extremity Now unexpectedly a fair opportunity of restoring their losses offer'd it self and stirred up at one-time England France and Spain to take Arms. Whilst Pope Innocent IV. held the General Council at Lyons in France he sent four Preachers of the Holy Order of S. Dominick among the Tartars to try whether that Barbarous People could be reduc'd to embrace Christianity Those Preachers were so successful as to gain Reputation among the Barbarians who began to show some affection towards the Christian Religion These People had now Invaded that part of Syria which was under the Saracens and the great Cham their King sent Embassadors to invite most Princes of Europe to share in that Conquest Particularly he sent Embassadors to the King of Aragon with John Alaricus of Perpegnan whom the King on account of an Embassy receiv'd before had sent into Tartary The Tartar Embassadors staid ar Barcelona Alaricus went to Toledo where in an Assembly of the Nobles he gave an account of his Embassy King Jayme resolv'd to go in Person to that War without regard to his great Age or the Intreaties of King Alonso and Queen Violante King Alonso seeing he was not to be disswaded promis'd him 100000 Ducats towards the Charge of the War Some Nobles of Castile offer'd to bear him Company and among them the Master of the Knights of Santiago and D. Gonçalo Pereyra Grand Prior of S. John From Toledo he went to Valencia where he gave Audience to the Tartars and also to another Embassador from the Emperor Paleologus who promis'd to furnish Provisions and all other Necessaries After all things were in readiness at the request of Queen Violante his Daughter he went as far as Huerta and there took his leave of her his Sons and Grandchildren On the 4th of September in the Year 1269. he set sail with a Fleet of 30 great Ships and some Galleys The Season was not fit for such Expeditions In three days they had sight of Minorca where a violent Storm dispers'd the whole Fleet which was drove to several Ports The King was put in at Marseilles and thence remov'd to the Gulph of Agde Some Ships and among 'em that in which went Fernan Sanchez the King's Son weather'd the Storm and arriv'd at Acre in the Holy-Land After refreshing himself at Montpelier the King now repenting that he had undertaken that Expedition return'd to Catalonia In Castile King Alonso with Edward Son and Heir to the King of England went as far as Logrono to meet his Daughter-in-law who was coming out of France thro' Navarre to her Husband This Marriage was Solemniz'd with greater Splendour than was ever seen before for there were present at it Jayme King of Aragon Grandfather to the Bridegroom Peter his eldest Son Philip eldest Son to the King of France Edward Son and Heir to the King of England the King of Granada King Alonso his Brothers Sons and Uncle Alonso Lord of Molina A great number of French Italian and Spanish Nobility was there and among them William Marques of Montseratte who Jovius says was Son-in-law to King Ferdinand Sancho Archbishop of Toledo was also present some say he Marry'd them This Match was contriv'd that the King of France might quit the Pretensions he had to Castile as being the Son of Blanch eldest Sister to King Henry After the Solemnity King Alonso accompany'd the King af Aragon as far as Tarraçona The English and French went further than the Aragonians in the Expedition of the Holy-Land but without much Success Edward eldest Son to the King of England with a good Fleet arriv'd at Ptolemais and escap'd himself the danger of the Assassins S. Luis King of France set Sail from Marseilles on the first of March 1270. Theobald King of Navarre having committed the Government to his Brother Henry accompany'd S. Luis After a Storm they landed at Tunez Invested the Town overthrew the Infidels twice in the Field and continu'd the Siege the space of 6 Months The great heat caus'd the Plague whereof vast numbers dy'd and among them Prince John the King's Son and lastly the King himself on the 28th of August Charles King of Sicily landing at this Juncture the Besieg'd agreed to pay him 40000 Ducats a Year and then the Army went over into Sicily Theobald King of Navarre dy'd there in the City Trapana on the 5th of December The Body of S. Luis was carry'd to S. Denis near Paris that of the King of Navarre to Champagne Queen Elizabeth his Wife dy'd on the 25th of April the Year following at Hiere in Provence Let us return to Castile King Alonso at this time was perplex'd with many cares The ambition of taking upon him the Empire of Germany had
Italy where he gave the Pope an account of his Negotiation and then went into Sicily to stir the People there to Rebel Such was the Security of the French and the Secrecy of the Conspirators that nothing was discover'd At this time dy'd Pope Nicholas and Martin the IVth native of Tours succeeded him This Pope was wholly devoted to King Charles and to oblige him Excommunicated the Greek Emperor Besides he refused to Canonize Raymund of Penafuerte which the King of Aragon solicited for pretending that nothing ought to be granted him whilst he refused to pay the Tribute he ow'd to the Church of Rome but instead thereof he recall'd the Grant of the Tenths of Ecclesiastical Revenues which his Predecessors had made to King Jayme Father to him now Reigning What might have terrify'd the Aragonian made him the more eager and therefore he furnish'd a mighty Fleet on the Coast of Aragon giving out it was to go over into Africk where two Sons of the King of Tunez who was deposed by Conrade Lança were at variance about the Cities of Constantina and Bugia This was given out but his real design was against Sicily The Popes and King of France's Embassadors pressing to know the intent of those Preparations as being both concern'd for King Charles the King of Aragon in a Passion answer'd If he thought his Shirt knew his design he would take it off and burn it The Grecian Emperor according to promise sent a considerable Sum of Mony The Conspiracy of the Sicilians was put in Execution at the holiest time of the year to wit on the 21st of March being Easter Tuesday when the French were most secure being wholly bent upon Sports and Pastimes At the time when the Bells Rung to Vespers or Evensong all the French throughout the whole Island were Massacred and thence came the Proverb of the Sicilian Vespers Besides the Sicilians seiz'd upon all the Fleet provided in the Ports of that Island against the Grecian Emperor then declar'd an Enemy by the Pope This is the most receiv'd Relation of that memorable Action Yet others affirm it began at Palermo where a French Man offering to search a Woman for Arms the People laid hold of that occasion to Rise and kill all the French in the City Castle and Country without sparing either Age or Sex insomuch that they slew such Women as they thought to be with Child by them that none of the Race might remain The City of Palermo was Plunder'd as if an Enemy had entred it All other Towns follow'd the Example of Palermo Only Mecina was some time quiet because Herbertus Aurelianensis Governour of the whole Island for the French was there yet soon after the Mecineses expell'd the Governour and Garrison William Porcelotte a Provençal who was Governour of Calatafimia in the Heat of that Confusion was permitted to depart peaceably the general opinion conceiv'd of his Goodness and Modesty protecting him This was the event of that most famous Conspiracy of John Prochita The Sicilians after their Fury was over reflecting on their Danger and resolving rather to Dye than fall again into the hands of the French thought fit to have recourse to the Ring of Aragon for Protection Whilst this was doing in Sicily he was at Tortosa with his Fleet in a readiness and thence went over into Africk where having plunder'd and ruin'd the Sea Coasts on a sudden he Sail'd over to Corsica There he was inform'd of what had been done in Sicily and that King Charles was gone in great haste from Tuscany and had laid Siege to Mecina Battering it with the greatest Fury imaginable The French acted with Rage seeking to revenge the Slaughter of their Country-men and the Besieg'd defended themselves with such Resolution that the Women and Children were not exempted from the Labour or Danger Now the King of Aragon arrived at Palermo where the more to tye him to the Interest of the Island he was Crowned and there his Fleet was Increas'd with the Addition of the Ships taken by the Sicilians and provided by the French against the Grecian Emperor Hope of speedy Relief encourag'd the Besieg'd and King Charles was forc'd to quit the Siege and with Shame return into Italy The Two Kings sent one another Letters full of reproachful Language and declar'd open War The King of Aragon expected Supplies from Spain King Charles from France and Marseilles The later incamp'd with his Army near the Streight of Mecina in sight of Sicily King Peter had distributed his Forces in Garrisons He finding the Enemy was Strong and that his own Recruits were to come from far off thought good to make use of Policy King Charles was Brave and valu'd himself much upon his Strength and Skill at all Weapons King Peter sent him a Challenge to Fight Hand to Hand and decide the Quarrel without the Effusion of so much Blood as must of necessity be shed in a Battel So say the French Historians But the Aragonians affirm that King Charles Challeng'd King Peter and that Simon Leontius a Dominican brought the Challenge Certain it is the Challenge was accepted and they agreed to Fight with 100 Gentlemen on a side A Dispute arising about the Place of Combat Bourdeaux was agreed upon as an indifferent Place being then in the Hands of the King of England They appointed the Day and swore to the Conditions of the Combat The Pope knowing what had been done in Sicily charg'd the King of Aragon to desist and not disturb the publick Peace but he refusing to obey on the Ninth of November was Excommunicated He also sent to the King of England to forbid him permitting the Battel in his Dominions yet that avail'd not Queen Constance by her Husband's Order went to Sicily that the Sicilians might not Revolt she being their Natural Sovereign She arriv'd at Mecina on the 22th of April 1283. and with her her Son Jayme to whom his Father design'd to give the Kingdom of Sicily Both Kings prepar'd for the Challenge King Charles went over into France and he of Aragon with his Fleet into Spain On the first day of June the day appointed for Battel King Charles with his Troop of Gentlemen appear'd at Bourdeaux King Peter came not The French Authors attribute this to Cowardize and Falshood for at the same time the King of Aragon was making Warlike Preparations Our Historians excuse him saying he was warn'd by the Governour of Bourdeaux to have a care of Treachery for that the King of France was Marching that way with a powerful Army so that his 100 Aragonian Horse were to encounter with the whole Power of France This gave occasion to every one to make Reflections according to their inclination and was the ground of a lasting War As soon as the King of Aragon return'd home he took in hand two several Affairs One was to drive D.

The Usurper retir'd to the Castle call'd Alhambra where he was soon after taken and put to Death leaving the Crown he had unjustly possess'd to the rightful owner Thus much in Spain France could hardly be in a worse Condition the English being Masters of Paris and the greatest part of that Country Charles the VII King of France in that Distress sent Embassadors with great Submission to beg Assistance of several Princes and among them of the King of Aragon Mathias Rexaque sent on this Embassy came to Barcelona in April At that time the King of Aragon was bent upon two several Wars That of Naples troubl'd him most Prince Peter his Brother being return'd thence into Spain having lost all hope of Success Dalmatius Sasera was left in his Place to preserve what remain'd in the Hands of the Aragonians Besides the King of Aragon was making great Preparations for a War with Castile For these reasons the French Embassy had no Success But the Affairs of France were recover'd out of that desperate Condition by a wonderful Providence The English had besieg'd Orleans seven Months and Hunger began to pinch the besieg'd when on a sudden a Maid about 18 years of Age whose Name was Joan and is commonly called The Maid of Orleans persuaded the French she was sent from Heaven to relieve Orleans She gain'd Credit and put Relief into the Town and at lengh the Siege was rais'd From this time the English lost many Towns this Maid encouraging and leading the French At last she was taken by the English carry'd to Roan where she was tryed condemned and burnt for a Witch Many have been of Opinion she was wrongfully put to Death and the French to this Day reverence her as a Saint Her Statue is upon the Bridge of Orleans kneeling on the left Hand of a great Crucifix and the King on the Right But these things belong to the Histories of France and England where they are handl'd at large Peter Cardinal of Faux Legate from Pope Martin the V assembled a Synod of the Bishops of the Province of Tarragona in that City What Acts pass'd in that Synod is not known But the matter of greatest Concern there brought to Perfection was that they prevail'd upon the Canon Giles Mun̄oz to resign the Title of Pope and the Cardinals that follow'd him were depriv'd of that Dignity This was done by the King of Aragon's Order to oblige Pope Martin whom before he kept under by Terror and now endeavour'd tō oblig'd by this Courtesy Peniscola which before belong'd to the Knights of St. John was now annex'd to the Crown Giles Mun̄oz in requital for his Resignation was made Bishop of Majorca Alonso de Borgia was also chosen Bishop of Valencia in recompense of the Pains he had taken to reduce Giles Mun̄oz and his Companions to Complyance and this was the first step Borgia made to attain the highest Dignities All this was done at Tortosa in August This was the end of that Schism which lasted longest and was hottest maintain'd of any that has been in the Church Processions and all manner of Devotions were perform'd in Thanksgiving for this Blessing and to implore the Mercy of God that such Judgments might be averted for the future It will be well we conclude this Book with Peace to begin the next with a bloody War betwixt the Kings of Spain The End of the Twentieth Book THE History of SPAIN The One and Twentieth BOOK CHAP. I. The War betwixt Aragon and Navarre on the one side and Castile on the other The King of Navarre crowned John King of Castile breaks into Aragon with a powerful Army and does much harm there SPain had of late years enjoyed Peace the Kings there of being tyr'd with the former Wars and now ally'd to one another in a very strict Degree With the Moors of Granada there was a lasting Truce or if there happen'd any Breach it was of no great Moment True it is the Christians wanted not the Will to extirpate that perverse Nation and a good Opportunity seem'd to offer it self the Moors being divided into several Factions among themselves But these Thoughts were lay'd aside by reason of a new War that broke out betwixt the King 's of Aragon and Navarre on the one side and him of Castile on the other and yet the noise prov'd much more than the Execution
as they could The King being at Almazan the Earl of Medina Celi sent to acquaint him That the Kingdom of Navarre appertained to the Lady Anne his Wife as Lawful Daughter to Charles Prince of Viana He said if King Ferdinand would not assist him in recovering his Right he should not want Aid elsewhere meaning from France Having sent away the Messenger without any Answer the King went on to Turuegano where he stayed till the City Segovia was provided for his Reception He made his Entry into that City on the 2d of January 1475. and was received with great Pomp. All the Three Estates did Homage to him and kissed his Hand Some Debate arose about the manner of Government The Queen's Servants contended King Ferdinand ought not to intermeddle in the Government nor so much as call himself King of Castile to which purpose they brought Examples of Queens of Naples On the other side the Aragonians pleaded That King Henry having left no Heirs Male the Crown was devolved upon King John of Aragon as Head of the Family But this was easily answered by Examples of many Women that had inherited the Crown of Castile At length the King and Queen agreed the Matter between themselves upon these Conditions That in all Charters Patents and upon the Coin King Ferdinand should be named before Queen Elizabeth That the Arms of Castile should be on the right of those of Aragon That all Garrisons should be held in the Queen's Name and all Officers of the Revenue take their Oath to her That Grants of Benefices should be in the Name of both but only in the Disposal of the Queen That when they were together both should have equal Authority in the Administration of Justice and when in different places each in that part That the Affairs of other Provinces should be determined by him or her who was nearest to the Council which should be observed in the Choice of Civil Governours King Ferdinand was concerned that his Subjects should prescribe Laws to him but thought fit to wink at it for the present And the Queen is said to have mollified him promising that the whole disposal of all things should be in him This done King Ferdinand applied himself to the Care of Settling the Kingdom which was much distracted by the late Broils The Marquess de Villena at the same time held Correspondence with King Ferdinand and King Alonso of Portugal He was no less Politick than his Father and it was not doubted but he would incline to that side where he expected the greatest advantage Of King Ferdinand he demanded that his Two Competitors to the Mastership should be declared illegally chosen and he secured in that Dignity This Request seemed to the King somewhat harsh not thinking it safe to add so great a Revenue to one so Powerful and in whom he could repose but little Confidence however he gave him a favourable Answer for the present which was to promise he would favour him in obtaining his Desires provided he would deliver up the Princess Joanna to a Third Person He replied he would not do it nor should ever be prevailed upon to break his Word to King Henry having ingaged to him to take care of his Daughter At the same time he sent Persons in whom he confided to perswade the King of Portugal to take upon him the Protection of his Neece since it appertained to him as the next of Kin and as such he ought to take upon him the Government of Castile He blamed his fearfulness and conjured him since he was so powerful a King not to forsake that Innocent Lady assuring he would find many in Castile that would appear for him as soon as they had a Head to whom they might have recourse The King of Portugal was at Estremoz on the borders of his Kingdom when King Henry died He immediately called a Council and laid before them what was proposed by the Marquess de Villena Opinions as is usual in such cases varied Most were for declaring War and invading Castile without delay pleading they had great store of Treasure heaped up having long enjoyed Peace great numbers of Horse and Foot and a powerful Fleet at Sea John Prince of Portugal was the chief Promoter of this unfortunate War Only Ferdinand Duke of Bragança whom Age made more Cautious and Circumspect was against ingaging in that Affair which some attributed to Fear and others to Affection to Queen Elizabeth who was his Brothers Grandaughter He urged the Marquess de Villena and his Party were the same who not long since proclaimed Prince Alonso King and declared the Princess Joanna a Bastard That they offered no strong Holds for security of performing what they promised and That it was hard to perswade a Prejudiced People that the Princess Joanna was Legitimate These Precautions were approved of by the Wiser sort yet the plurality of Voices prevailed the common Misfortune of Councils where Number takes place of Weight However before they positively declared Lope de Albuquerque was sent into Castile to Examine into the Posture of Affairs and at his return brought an Ingagement signed by many Noblemen wherein they promised That if the King of Portugal would Marry the Princess Joanna they would when it was time appear for him It fell out very opportunely to advance this Design that the Archbishop of Toledo being disgusted withdrew from Segovia the 20th of February pretending to retire for his Ease having lived long at Court This was the pretence but in reality he was displeased He complained he was kept in Hand with Specious Promises without receiving any Reward for his great Services or in Recompence of spending his Paternal Estate to bestow the Crown upon those ungrateful Princes Above all it grieved him to see the Cardinal so much in favour that nothing was done without him Means were used to appease him but all in vain He threatned to make it appear how dangerous a thing it was to provoke the Archbishop of Toledo Neither were the Prayers mixed with Threats of his Brother the Earl of Buendia of any force For he being Proud and lavish of his Tongue grew worse when good Advice was given him Besides one Ferdinand de Alarcon who being of the same Temper was his great Favourite still was buzzing in his Ears and inflamed his Passion CHAP. III. The King of Portugal calls himself King of Castile and is assisted by many of the Nobility being Contracted to Joanna the Rightful Heiress He takes several Places in Castile The French make Peace with England and ingage to assist Portugal against Ferdinand THE Disgust of the Archbishop of Toledo did not a little perplex the King and Queen fearing he might cause great Revolutions being Rich and Powerful This made them careful to gain what Friends they could and to appease the Nobility The first reduced was Henry of Aragon which was done by restoring to him his Patrimony of Segorve and
the Two distressed Kings Alonso and Ferdinand and Joanna the Queen-Dowager Gonçalo Fernandez de Cordova was stopped some Days with his Men at Majorca and Sardinia but arrived at Meçina on the 24th of May. King Ferdinand of Naples had already possessed himself of Rijoles and other neighbouring Places in Calabria in which Province Everard Stuart Lord of Aubeni a renowned Commander was left Governour by the King of France Rijoles Cotron Amantia and some other Places were delivered to Gonçalo Fernandez to hold them for the King his Master till he should be paid the Charges of that War as also to secure Sicily Some difference arose betwixt the new King and Gonçalo Fernandez because the King was positive for marching with all his Forces directly to Naples the Citizens inviting him even before the King of France was gone thence Gonçalo Fernandez would not abandon Calabria where he had those Strong-holds and doubted not but the rest of the Country would declare for the King of Spain for whom they testified a singular Affection It was agreed to relieve Semanera which was distressed by the French The Lord Aubeni lay in the way with whom the King came to a Battel was defeated and had been killed or taken his Horse falling dead under him had not a Gentleman called John Andrew d' Altavila mounted him on his own Horse so the King escaped and the Gentleman was killed which was an extraordinary Demonstration of Loyalty in those corrupt Times This Battel was fought on June 21. Our Forces retired to Semanera thence the King went over to Sicily resolving to return again to Naples before the News of that Misfortune could come thither Gonçalo Fernandez went away to the other part of Calabria where he soon took several Places and at last subdued the whole Province The King with 60 Sail he found at Meçina without any Land-men passed over to Naples where he was received with great Joy The People rose and plundered the Houses of the Princes of Salerno and Basignano The Duke of Monpensier and Prince of Salerno retired to Castelnovo Capua and all Apulia followed the example of Naples Besides upon the News of the Battel of Tarro the Colonels forsook the French and agreed with the King of Naples On the other side the Ursini joined with the French Still the Castles of Naples held for the French but were close blocked up A Moor who was in the Monastery of Santa Cruz still held by the French advertised the Marquess de Pescara he would give him admittance into it The Marquess coming thither at night that Fellow gave him a mortal Wound This Nobleman was the King's General he left a Son called Ferdinand who was afterwards a famous Commander Prosper Colonna succeeded him in his Command The Castles were at length surrendered the Duke of Monpensier and Prince of Salerno being before gone to the City Salerno by Sea During this War of Naples was first discovered a new Disease contagious only by way of carnal Copulation The Italians called it the French Disease and the French the Neapolitan Disease the Africans the Spanish-Disease It is most likely it came from the Indies and was carried to Naples by the Spaniards Tenerif one of the Canary Islands was this Year brought under the Dominion of Spain by Forces sent thither by the King The King of that Island being brought to Spain was sent as a Present to the Republick of Venice Alonso de Lugo for his good Service in the Conquest of this Island and that of Palma was made Lieutenant of the Canaries Thus all those Islands were brought under the Dominion of Spain CHAP.

King of Portugal The French quite expelled the Kingdom of Naples Ferdinand King of Spain Honoured by the Pope with the Title of Catholick King The Posture of Affairs in Portugal under Emanuel the New King THE Catholick King laboured to draw the Kings of England and Portugal into the League against France He of Portugal excused himself upon account of his ancient Friendship with France and his Dissatisfaction against the Pope who refused to Legitimate his Son George whom he had by a Lady of Quality and designed to make his Heir having to that purpose sollicited the Emperor to renounce any Claim he might lay to that Crown To the King of England it was not only proposed he should enter into the Confederacy but also marry his Heir to one of the Princesses of Castile Both things succeeded but it was after some time The King of Portugal being troubled with a Dropsie went to the Baths of Algarve which are the best in those Parts This Remedy failed and he died on the 14th of September at Alvor In his Will he appointed Emanuel his Cousin Son to his Unkle Ferdinand to succeed him In case he died withour Issue he substituted his Bastard-Son George to whom for the present he gave the Mastership of the Order of Christ and the Dukedom of Coimbra From him are descended the Dukes of Aviero This Prince had a mixture of Good and Evil He encouraged Brave and Virtuous Men was a Lover of Justice had a piercing Judgment and Noble Inclinations The Blood he spilt made him hateful to his Subjects and his Device was a Pelican that feeds its young with its own Blood His Body was first buried in the Cathedral of Silves and thence translated to the Monastery of Batalla among his Ancestors After his death Emanuel was by the General Consent of all Men proclaimed King notwithstanding Maximilian the Emperor had a better Title as being the Eldest of the late King's Cousin-Germans but this availed him not D. Henry Enriquez Earl of Liste who Commanded on the Frontiers of Russillon made an Incursion into the Frontiers of Narbonne D. Peter Manrique did the same by the way of Guipuzcoa They did nothing considerable but were the cause that the King of France who stayed at Aste till the end of Autumn made haste to conclude a Treaty with the Duke of Milan The principal Articles agreed upon were That Novaro should be restored to the Duke That the Castellet of Genoua should be put into the hands of the Duke of Ferrara and free Passage and Assistance given the French to recover Naples And That the Duke of Milan should pay down 50000 Ducats to him of Orleans This done the King of France returned to his Country The King of Naples complained of this Agreement and the Duke made Necessity his Excuse The Neapolitan the more to oblige the King of Castile to protect him proposed to marry one of his Daughters This being delayed at last by the Advice of the Queen Dowager he resolved to marry the Lady Joanna her Daughter and his own Aunt being Sister to his Father He demanded Aid of the Venetians and they sent him some Forces Commanded by the Marquess of Mantua and 15000 Ducats in Money For this Aid the King put into their hands as a Pawn the Cities Brindez
was proposed that Prince Ferdinand should Marry the youngest Daughter of France and her Portion should be the States of Milan and Genoa and King Ferdinand should give his Grandson the Kingdom of Naples These were only Contrivances to gain time especially on the King of France his part who dreaded the English breaking into Picardy by the way of Calais King Henry laid Siege to Therouenne and having defeated the French that came to relieve it took and dismantled it Then he sat down before Tournay at such time as the Earl of Surry in England vanquished and killed the King of Scots who in favour of the French invaded England Hereupon Tournay surrendred There the Emperor Princess Margaret and Prince Charles came to see the King of England Thence they went to Lisle where it was agreed as soon as the Truce was expired the Emperor and Kings of England and Spain should each on their own Side Invade France King Ferdinand was to conquer Guienne for the English but it appeared he did not approve of this Treaty The Match before proposed betwixt Prince Charles and the King of England's Sister was confirmed and it was agreed it should be Consummated the following Year Summer being spent King Henry returned into England France was in distress the Swisse having broke through Burgundy Monsieur de la Trimoville overthrew and yet compounded with them The King of France ingag'd not to favour the Council of Pisa and to withdraw his Garrisons out of the Castles of Milan and Cremona No part of this Accord was performed except what related to submitting to the Church Whilst the other Christian Kings wasted their Forces against one another King Emanuel of Portugal enjoyed Peace at home and extended his Conquests in Africk and India On the Western Coast of Africk stands the City Azamor which is large and rich and belongs to the Kingdom of Fez. The Country about it is plentiful being watered by the River Omirabin which runs by the Town King Emanuel had some Years before this as has been said thought to possess himself of this Place by the means of one Zeiam a Moor who deceived him and made himself Master of it At this time the King fitted out a Fleet shipping aboard it 20000 Foot and 2700 Horse under the Command of the Duke of Bragança After a troublesome Voyage they landed at Azamor about Autumn Several Skirmishes passed betwixt them and the Defendants as also those that came to relieve the Place but many Men of Note among the Moors being killed the rest fled out at a Gate that could not be secured and thus the City was taken about the beginning of September Some neighbouring Places surrendred and among them the Citties of Gita and Almedina Having left a good Garrison at Azamor under the Command of Roderick Barreto and John de Meneses the Duke returned to Portugal tho' many advised to besiege the City Morocco but he said he had no such Orders This Success encouraged King Emanuel to prosecute his Conquests along the Coast of Africk on that side and therefore resigned any Pretensions he might have to Pen̄on and the City Velez upon Condition the Catholick King should not pretend to any thing along the Coast of the Kingdom of Fez even down to Cape Bojador In Italy the Viceroy entred the Territory of the Venetians by the way he took many Boats and Carts loaded with the Goods of People that fled Pieve de Saco a delightful Place where are all the Country Houses of the Venetians he plundered and burnt He passed the River Brenta and took Mistre which is as it were a Suburb of Venice At the end of the Channels are certain Houses which they call Palizas within Cannon-shot of the City Thence they Cannonaded it the Balls flying as far as the Monastery of S. Segundus but the Affront was more than the harm done Our Army was encompassed by Enemies On the one side was Treviso on the other Padua and Albiano who drew near with his Army being resolved to fight The Viceroy retired towards Vincenza and marched in one Day 14 miles tho' above 500 Carts followed the Army loaded with Baggage and Plunder Paul Baillon from Treviso and the Garrison of Padua joyned Albiano In all his Army consisted of 7000 Foot and 1200 Horse besides 10000 of the Country People that appeared upon the Mountains Albiano marched to cut off the Viceroy from Vincenza and encamped in a narrow Pass near a Town called Olmo Our Army was in great danger it being impossible to advance and dangerous to turn back yet they resolved to retire that they might draw the Enemy into the open Field They thinking our Men had fled pursued hastily and in Disorder whereupon the Viceroy by the advice of Prosper Colona and the Marquess of Pescara commanded his Germans to charge the Enemy which they did with such fury that they soon broke them The Marquess of Pescara pursued them up to the City where the Gates being shut many were drowned in the River and among them Sacromoro Visconte This done the Viceroy with the Germans and some Spaniards attacked a Body of the Enemies Horse and Foot who fortified themselves on a Hill with 5 Pieces of Cannon These also were easily put to flight This Battel was fought on the 7th of October 700 Venetian Men at Arms were killed all their Foot dispersed Paul Baillon and many others and 22 Pieces of Cannon were taken Albiano and Griti escaped The Viceroy marched to Vincenza where he stayed some Days At the same time the Castle of Bergamo was taken from the Venetians by Storm Paul Baillon was released upon his Parole that he would surrender himself again in case the Venetians would not give Alonso de Carvajal in Exchange for him Carvajal died in Prison and Baillon never returned On the 20th of November the Castle of Milan was surrendred as was that of Cremona Nothing was left the French in Lombardy but the Castle of Lanterna at Genoa The Duke layed Siege to it and the Adornos and Fliscos encamped before Genoa but were forced to retire leaving some of their Cannon behind The Pope continued the Lateran Council and admitted the French Ambassadors they in their King's Name renouncing the Council of Pisa and the Protection of the Schismaticks so the Gallican Church submitted to the Roman The Pope was concerned to see the Republick of Venice so near Destruction and underhand designed to relieve it He sent to require the Viceroy to proceed no farther against it that some Accommodation might be made Aragon was now in an Uproar on account of some Quarrel between the Earls of Ribagorça and Aranda At length the King interposing the Difference came to Tryal and the Earl of Ribagorça being found faulty was banished the Kingdom of Aragon during the King's Pleasure In the Kingdom of Naples some Towns had revolted being oppressed by their Lords And Peter de Castro tho' with much trouble reduced them all

Peter's Day the Emperor should for the Kingdom of Naples besides the White Hacaney pay 7000 Ducats and that the Kingdom of Sicily should be owned as a Feoffe of the Church paying only 15000 Ducats as it had used to do That till such time as the Pope were repayed his Expences in that War he should hold the Cities of Plasencia and Parma the Profits whereof were not to be deducted out of the Principal and that the Dukedom of Milan should be given to Francis Sforcia Afterwards followed the expulsion of the French and their return as was said the last Year The King of France lying before Pavia in which was Antony de Leyva and a good Garison of Germans the Emperor's Generals hasted to the Relief of the City These were Charles de Lanoy Viceroy of Naples Charles Duke of Bourbon and Ferdinand Davlos Marquis of Pescara who overthrew the French Army took the King and sent him Prisoner into Spain Henry d' Albret King of Navarre was also taken but he bribing his Keepers made his escape out of the Castle of Pavia In this Battel was slain the Marquis of Civita de Santangel whose Name was Ferdinand Castriot Great-Grandson to the most Renowned Scanderberg Prince of Epirus and Terror of the Turks His Reins not being chained were cut and his Horse ran with him into the midst of the Enemies where the King of France himself killed him with his Lance. This Battel was fought upon Friday the 24th of February being the Feast of the Apostle S. Mathias Anno 1526. Thus Europe for a while was delivered from the Desolation of War King Francis of France was Prisoner in the Castle of Madrid His Mother the Queen-Regent of France in his absence earnestly desiring her Sons Liberty sent her Daughter the Lady Margaret who had been Married to Charles Duke of Alençon into Spain to treat of some Accommodation She managed the business so well that on the 14th of January an Alliance was concluded between the King and the Emperor upon the following Conditions That from thence forward it should not be allowed the Flemings to Appeal to the King of France That the King of France should quit all his Pretensions to Milan Genoa and Aste That he should restore Burgundy to the Emperor That he should Marry Ellenor the Queen-Dowager of Portugal the Emperor's Sister and should have with her 200000 Duccats That he should Pardon Charles Duke of Bourbon And That all other Differences should be determined according to Equity The Duke of Bourbon had to Wife Susanna Grandchild to Lewis the Eleventh King of France and Daughter to Peter Duke of Bourbon and Anne the aforesaid King 's Eldest Daughter To him Charles last of the Duke of Anger 's had by his Will left his Dominions in France and his Title to the Kingdom of Naples Charles the Eighth Son and Heir to King Lewis left no Issue therefore the Duke of Bourbon tho he pretended not to the Crown as not being the next of the Male Line yet he insisted that all the Dominions that had accrued to the Crown by other means belonged to his Wife as next of Blood to the late Kings After her Death he pretended tho he had no issue to retain the Dukedom of Bourbon as next of Kin in the Male-Line to his Father-in-Law But the King's Mother urged that she was Neice to the said Peter of Bourbon being his Sister's Daughter and this Title prevailed The Treaty being concluded the King of France departed out of Spain leaving as Hostages acording to Agreement for performance of the Capitulation his two Sons Francis the Dauphine and Henry the Younger At Sevil on the 3d of March was celebrated the Marriage of the Emperor with Elizabeth eldest Sister to the King of Portugal D. Ferdinand of Aragon Duke of Calabria before set at Liberty and D. Alonso de Fonseca who had succeeded Cardinal William de Croy in the Archbishoprick of Toledo accompanied the Bride from the Borders of Portugal The Emperor had deprived Francis Sforcia of the Dukedom of Milan accusing him of being unfaithful and holding Correspondence with France Pope Clement to restore him and being himself offended because it was by Law established in Spain that Benefices should not be given to Strangers and that the Pope's Bulls should be examined in Council joined in League with the French and Venetians he also invited the King of England into the Confederacy and promised D. Ferdinand Davalos Marquis of Pescara and Governor of Milan if he would join with them to make him King of Naples which Kingdom he designed to Conquer These Practices were the cause of great and mighty Mischiefs that ensued Mean while the Marquis of Pescara died and leaving no Issue his Cousin D. Alonso Davalos Marquis del Gasto inherited his Title and Estate Solyman the Great Turk Son to Selymus overthrew in Battel near the City Buda King Luis of Hungary and by his Death not only the City Buda was lost but Contentions arising about the Succession the Kingdom was brought into great distress Part of the Nobility were for Ferdinand of Austria because he was Married to the late King's Sister and part stood up for John Sepusius Vayvode of Transilvania whence ensued grievous Wars Mary the Queen-Dowager having no Issue returned to Flanders Anno 1527. Cardinal Pompeius Colonna and Vespasian Colonna having raised Forces in the Territory of Rome and being joined by others sent by D. Hugo de Moncada Viceroy of Naples they had so streightned the Pope at Rome that he could scarce secure his Person or prevent the Soldiers Plundering the Sacred Palace After which Charles Duke of Bourbon with part of the Imperial Army marched out of Lombardy towards Rome designing to Plunder that City The Duke of Vrbin and Janetin de Medicis Father to Cosmo who was after Duke of Florence set out to oppose him but were overthrown passing the River Mincius and Janetin slain The Duke of Bourbon assaulting Rome was killed with a Musket Shot from the Walls nevertheless the Soldiers pursued their Design and Sacked the City laying Siege to the Castle of Santangelo whither the Pope and Cardinals retired The Emperor was at Valladolid when the News of this Disaster was brought to him he immediately caused the Publick Feasts and Rejoicing for the Birth of his Son Prince Philip born in that City the 20th of May to cease which was a Token of his Religious Zeal and that so great a Disorder had not happened with his knowledge On the other side the Florentins who mortally hated the Pope seeing him Distressed expelled out of their City the Family of Medicis and particularly Hippolito and Alexander who were the Chiefs of that House which was the Cause why
the Pope who was there present and therefore the Reflection upon him was the greater The Diet at Ratisbon being broke up the Emperor went into Italy and conferred with the Pope at Luca in September The chief Subject of their Conference was about Assembling a General Council Leaving the Pope he went to Genoa where Andrew Doria had a great Fleet in readiness to go over to Argiers on the Coast of Africk The Season was then too far advanced therefore the Pope and others laboured to disswade the Emperor from that Enterprize but he was not to be moved Being come upon the Coast of Africk about the end of October and having lost great part of his Fleet in a terrible Storm he was forced to retire to Bugia whence he passed over much afflicted to Carthagena having done nothing and sustained great loss Ferdinand Cortes who accompanied the Emperor in this Expedition his Galley sinking was obliged to swim for his Life and lost two Cups made of Emraulds which he had tyed about him in a cloath and were worth 300000 Duccats Anno 1542. The bloody Wars betwixt Christian Princes disappointed the Pope's design the last year of assembling a General Council but now he published a new Edict Summoning all the Bishops to meet at the City Trent He appointed the Cardinals Parisius Moron and Poole to preside in his Name but this design was also put off because the French King made War upon the Emperor The cause of this War was that the King sent two Embassadors to the Turk one a Genoese called Fregoso the other a Spaniard whose name was Antony Rincon Alonso Davalos Marquis del Gasto was then Governour of Milan Certain Spanish Soldiers discovered these Embassadors sailing down the River Po tho they were disguised like Pilgrims they seized and drowned them in the River This happened the last year and so incensed the French King that he immediately had recourse to Arms and with a mighty Army invaded Flanders Besides Henry the Dauphin by his Fathers order laid Siege to Perpignan on the borders of Spain The Garison defended themselves with such bravery that sallying they nailed his great Guns and Succours coming from all Parts he was forced to raise the Siege and retire John de Vega Lord of Valverde was at this time Viceroy of Navarre whence he went Embassador to Rome then Governed Sicily several Years and lastly returning into Spain was President of the Royal Council of Castile which Office he discharged with great Reputation He was a Man of great Integrity Wisdom and Piety At the beginning of December dyed James the Fifth King of Scotland leaving only one Daughter called Mary born not long before his Death of Mary his Queen Sister to the Duke of Guise Such multitudes of Locusts were in Germany Italy and Spain that they darkned the Sun as they flew In Sicily a great Earthquake did much harm in several Cities and Towns but the most mischief was done at the City Siracusa Anno 1543.
