of the night which had alreadie couered all the earth This partly was the cause and also the vehement raine that fell that night for the safegard and preseruation of many The violence of the fight endured at the most but an houre and a halfe and many were swallowed vp and smothered within that marish The bodie of the King who was said to haue ended his daies in that place was afterward found in a great whirle or rift of earth aboue Mohacz halfe a mile on this side a little village which is called Czelie the which medow was then ouerflowed more then it was wont to be with Danubius in that place he was stifled with his horse vnder the water being armed as he was at the battaile And seeing wee shall speake no more of this King I will adde to in this historie one thing of him worthie the noting and that is when he was newly borne he had no skinne that couered his bodie which he neuerthelesse recouered by the helpe of Phisitions who by their art succoured and helped the want and defect of nature We haue heretofore noted a certaine presage of the pittifull end which should happen to him but the same might well haue been told him before as a destenie of that which afterward happened to him during the time he gaue order for his affaires to resist the enemies according to the first newes which he had receiued For he being at Buda when he was at dinner the gates of his Castle being shut as the custome was a certaine Ghost in forme and shape of a man euill fauoured with crookedlegs came haulting and knocked at the gate and with a loude shrill voyce desired to speake with the King to acquainte him with things which neerely concerned both the good of himselfe and of the kingdome His speeches being not at the first heard by the guard who were at the gate as it is the vse in Princes courts hee cried lowder and with a horrible voyce demaunded againe whether they gaue the King notice thereof In the end certaine of the companie being moued by the importunitie of this deformed Ghost they demaunded of him what he would haue but he replying sayd that he would not reueale his secrets to any but to the King This message was presently carried to his Maiestie who vnderstanding thereof sent vnto him one of his seruants in the best and richest apparell and one who was next himselfe faining that he was the King commaunding him to enquire what this fellow would say This messenger comming before this Ghost and asking of him in priuate what secret he would impart vnto him the other denying that he was King whereby he thought to abuse him with a high and loude voyce he sayd that since the King would not heare him he should shortly perish These words being pronounced he vanished away to the great astonishment of all that were present It is a discourse somewhat neere vnto that of Saule but yet different for that which the one required was not offered to him but this of it selfe was presented without seeking for it which one may enterpret diuers waies But let vs returne againe to the subiect of our historie In this place where the Kings bodie was founde many others also lost their liues A little beyond was also found the bodies of Andrew Trepka and Stephen Azel It is said that the Frier ended his life valliantly fighting in the Vauntgard the day following his head being cut off was carryed vpon the top of a launce round about the enemies Campe in token of ioy and some said that it was for a time placed before the Pauilion of Soliman The day after the Battaile 1500.

C. to the Reader health FRiendly Reader after J had for my priuate content translated some few notes out of this excellent Historie J was requested by some of my good friends to take further paines in the whole which J was the rather desirous to performe as well to satisfie their friendly requests as also for diuers other respects The first whereof was for that my selfe had been a trauailer in this Countrie of Hungarie and had in regarde my aboade there was not long but superficially noted the manners and disposition of the people there and specially in their martiall affaires wherein during my residence there J spent my time with some obseruation of those parts where then J had been which notwithstanding did now with delight draw me on to begin and proceede in the finishing of this Historie The second reason that induced me hereunto was in regard that it seemed no fiction or fabulous toy but a Historie of grauitie and credence as witnesseth the memorials of Stephen Broderic Chaunceler of Hungarie and of Castalde Lieutenant for Ferdinand who was King of Hungarie in that countrie and diuers others which being so J rested with assurance that it would greatly benefit thee for thy experience in many pollitike affaires And the third reason that perswaded me to vndertake this worke was that J did and also doe still hartely desire that it might be in things appertaining to vs as a president and caueat to these parts of Christendome that now thinke themselues as secure as once the Hungars did and they then as safe from the deluge of Infidels as we doe now But alas such was their pride and dissention vnhappie people that through their owne misgouernment God inflicted this punishment vpon them which now as remedilesse and altogether in dispaire they with wofull laments too late bewaile for though that some neighboring Princes whom the cause doth also neerely concerne may affoorde them their best ayde somewhat to withstand and bridle the Turkes mightie incursions yet surely farre vnlikely and more vnable they are to reconquer that which they haue lost the reason is too apparant for both in regard of multitudes of men and militarie discipline they farre exceede the Christians and it may be that those who may will not and those who would cannot affoorde them that succour which is needfull so that what betweene the one and the other this miserable Hungarie which is one of the fertilest and goodliest Countries in Christendome is more shaken and torne by the Turkes violence and insolencie then is a young Lambe betweene the VVolues iawes Herein I must craue your patience to rest in silent melancholy for mirth it affoords none vntill the end and lend your patient eare vnto detestable complots impieties and seditions vnto ignominious conspiracies immanities and cruelties vnto horrible massacres of men women and children that be Christians vnto pitiful laments and mournings of husbands for losse and forcing away of their wiues and wiues for their husbands vnto violation and rapines of maydes and to be briefe vnto sacriledges burnings and deuastations of all manner of creatures which when all these things shall liuely be discifered vnto you in this Historie then iudge of the state of this poore Countrie into what an abisme of miserie it is fallen J omit to write of many particulars concerning the Turkes politike proceedings for the incroching vpon Christendome touching all which because J would not be tedious I refer you to the Historie it selfe wherein more at large you may discerne their entercourse and temporising with Christians which indeede is nothing else but only for their owne commoditie to make vse of them vntill they finde fit oportunitie to aduance their intended practises against them and then adue league and all societie of friendship onely this J say and humbly desire God of his mercifull goodnes to inspire Christians with that humilitie and faithfull repentance that it may assure our harts of turning this iudgement from vs which our Lord of his mercie graunt for Iesus Christs sake and extirpe these Mahometaines who as our owne eyes may witnes daily with teares and griefe we may speake it infringe the confines of Europe with their heathenish and barbarous proceedings as more at large this Historie will amplifie R.
