A true discourse of the occurrences in the warres of Sauoy and the winning of the Forte of Mont-millan by the most Christian King of France and Nauarre Henrie the fourth Also the number of Cannons and Munition by his Maiestie taken in the said Mont-millan Wherevnto is annexed the Oration of Sir Philip Cauriana Knight pronounced to the most Christian Queene Mary de Medicis at her departure out of Tuscane to goe into France Faithfully translated out of French by E. A. Imprinted at London for Walter Burre at the signe of the Flower de Luce and Crowne in Pouies Church-yarde 1601. A true discourse of things happened in the armie for Sauoy and in the winning of the Castle of Mont-millan HIs most Christian Maiestie forbearing so farre as his honor and the duety of a Prince that loueth peace and the good of his Countrey could affoorde was at the last to his great griefe forced to haue recourse to all meanes conuenient to bring the Duke of Sauoy to good order The said Duke hauing taken from the crowne of France and vsurped the Marquizat of Saluces in time of peace in the dayes of the late King Henry the third his Maiesties predecessor of happy memory hath not restored the said Marquizate according to the treatie and conclusion of peace made at Veruins in the yeare 1598. betwéene his Maiestie Phillip the second late King of Spaine and the said Duke of Sauoy neither as he promised by the last agréement betwéene his Maiestie and the said Duke of Sauoy made at Paris in February last A matter that hath mooued his Maiestie to alter his purpose declaring to those to whome it may concerne that hauing attended the said Dukes resolution he was lastly enforced to recouer the said Marquizate by force of Armes The King therefore willing by vallour and in discretion not onely to preserue that which appertaineth to the Crowne but also to recouer that which aforetime hath béene alienated did therevpon redemaund the Marquizate of Saluces which ●●d béene alienated as is aforesaid But the Duke finding it to be one of the most precious flowers of his garland referred off the King dayly for the restitution of the same Whereby his Maiestie hauing expected it a yeare and a halfe did neuerthelesse liue in hope according to the said Dukes promise to haue had the said restitution performed by the first day of June last passed But the King perceiuing that his elemencie engendred so great contempt sent his solemne declaration to the saide Duke of Sauoy therein protesting that himselfe was no cause of the warre or breache of peace but that full ill against his will he vndertooke this warre as knowing verye well that it could not redound but to the said Dukes vtter ruine decay The King therefore considering the premisses did to his great griefe albeit he came not out of Paris to that intent bring his armie into Bresse and Sauoy where it soone shewed it selfe with so many troopes as prooued that the Kings iust title or quarrell carried that which to him did appertaine The townes and Castles neuer stood out any or very small force but yéelded so as the King in a very short time pierced through the countrey euen to Mont-millan where vpon his arriuall he seized on the towne as likewise he did sooneafter of Chamtery Charbonniers and other places euen to Morienne which he brought vnder his obedience in which places himselfe was present to the great perrill and danger of his life Hauing thus taken the towne of Mont-millan he caused the Castle to be summoned to yéelde vnlesse that they had rather endure the furie of the Cannon Howbeit sith they grew obstinate the King deuided his army to beate it on euery side and caused his men to raise Bastions Fortes Hilles and Bulwarkes with wonderfull pollicie to beate the place This doone it séemed that albeit mans industrie could performe no more yet all this was but as a Butte for the Cannons of the said Castle to leuell at the place being of all men holden to be inpregnable and almost inaccessible But God who ruleth the hearts of Kings and Princes peized the hearts of these two Princes whereby the one was found to be replenished with a iust quarrell whereto he also shewed himselfe fauourable as he promiseth by his Prophets when he findeth a heart after his owne minde So that whereas the Duke of Sauoy purposed there to haue suffered the Frenchmen to haue champed on their bittes with the discommoditie of the winter season and tempests the place happily fell into the kings hands to the great preiudice of the said Duke of Sauoy who now findeth himselfe to be the prey of such mishap as he threatned to others therein resembling the Thrush who pearched vpon a twigge spreddeth her wings and so is taken of her selfe or the Gyants that sought to sight with heauen for surely this battle of the Giants doth represent and figure vnto no other but these that will rise against their betters as they did against Iupiter according to the wordes of the Poet. The Gyants men say would enterprize To seaze vpon heauen and Iupiter surprize Now will I bring vnto the French Theater one of the principall actes of this tragedie The King considering how difficult it was by assault to come néere this place and fearing the losse of the meanest of his Souldiers sought to winne those in the Castle by composition wherevpon God reading in his heart his good minde and affection strengthened him more and more against his enemies Many things they do report that ministred intelligence to the king but I doe ground my selfe vpon the most certaine I doe beléeue that the kings iust quarell deliuered him this place as the lawfull daughter of France built and erected by our Kings for as say the auncient Philosophers All things must returne to their head and foundation so that as well that as the rest being of France All shall returne to France In the end the Lord of Brandy Captaine of the said Castle finding himselfe vnable to resist the French armie much lesse the courage of so inuincible and magnanimious a king withall that he could not hould as being surprized by the kings diligence and foresight who resembled an Alexander or Iulius Caesar who both enterprised and executed in manner at once sought to growe to composition as himselfe required whereto the King condiscended mittigating certaine articles that went beyond the lawes of warre which he would not passe This composition did first containe a truce for one moneth so that incase the Duke of Sauoy did not come to succour the besieged and raise the siedge from before the place the said lord Brandys promised euen with hostages to deliuer the place into the kings hands The truce drawing to expiration toward the end thereof the Duke of Sauoy meaning to appeare was stopped through the kings discréet foresight who sent his armie to the passages to stop the said Duke of Sauoy

from all accesse Thus he being repulsed and vnable to bring any succour eyther to raise the siege from before the place it was yéelded vnder the most happy successe of the most Christian most magnanimious King according to the graunt that the Lorde of Brandy had obteined from his Maiesty Héervpon the king the 16. of Nouemb. 1600. sent in 500. French souldiers vnder the leading of the Lord of Crequy who was to commaund in the same The Lord of Brandy according to an article by the King granted in forme of composition departed Namely with the life of the said Lord of Brandy and all his the Souldiers with the Drum striking vp the Ancient displaide the Matche lighted the Bullet in the mouth the Musquets and Harquebuts charged with bag and baggage so much as to them apperteyned without search visitation or molestation whatsoeuer and furnished with so much warlicke prouision as they could well carry with them leauing to his Maiesties possession the fairest and strongest place in all Sauoy with 80. Canons great and small 30000. Bullets and 500. thousand of Powder Thus much for the conquest and departure from the Castle of Mont-millan a houlde in some mens opinion vnpossible to be gotten yet possible to our great King being armed with equitie and a iust quarrell Now therefore O yée French nation yée are to lift vp your hands to heauen in signe of ioye and to importunate the same with your petitions and prayers and manifould repetition of this worde with the Prophet O Lord preserue the King and be his protector Now therefore let him not be content onely to mainteine his estate and people in peace but also let him flourish and as it were shoote foorth againe the auncient Lawrell branches of his auncesters Now I say is the time that thou O France maist boast that thou hast not onely a Themistocles an Alexander or a Caesar but euen all thrée comprized in the sole courage of this great Henry the fourth Now is the time that the olde prouerbe may be verified in him That nothing is difficult to a valiant minde Likewise that he hath clambered to the rocke of vertue and that he hath purchased the tipe of perfection that he hath out faced the hazards and for a long time caryed away and houlden the title of a great King and Captaine whome all the worlde admireth and feareth vnder his clemencie curtesie valour and benignity God graunt that France may long enioy so fauourable a sunne-shine to beate away the stormes that otherwise are likelie to fall therevpon likewise that his life his goodnesse and valour may in his vertue possesse the greatest worldly Empires Amen FINIS The Oration of sir Philip Cauriana Knight pronounced to the most Christian Queene Mary de Medicis at her departure out of Tuscane to go into France and dedicated to the Queene To the Lady Dutchesse of Nemours the Queenes Gouernesse IT were a matter most absurd most discreet and famous Princesse to suffer this briefe translation as it were by hap hazard to present it selfe at the feete of this great Queene without your fauourable safe conduct Men might say What presumptuous doult is this that dare thus approach to this Maiestie newly arriued for our tranquillitie and as yet ignorant of the manners fashions of this Countrie Is she not sufficiently bufied in the receiuing of her deserued honours done vnto her both by great and small townes and communalties as she goeth Is not her name sufficiently honoured with that high title which the heauens and her vertue do graunt her What can this man adde to her glory sauing only his particular vowes of small efficacie Pardon me good Lady and if it please you to way this my zeale in the ballanc●… of your singular wisedome and if you finde it ouer light or of bad assay send it to the minte and suppresse it but if it hang in equall peyse as we say or that it be too light of some few graines doe it this fauour to let it passe at how low a price so euer you shall thinke good This benefite shall proceed only from your fauour and courtezie and by this course you shall stirre vp the gallant spirits of France to seeke to delight her with some braue and comely conceipt saying sithe this man for so small industry employed vpon another mans argument was so fauonrably accepted how much more shall we in giuing her Maiestie a farre richer gift yet it is alwayes to be considered that Maiesties do limit their contentment not after the valew or riches which they need not but as things do delight them Witnesse the common example of the king that accepted the country mans Radishes who was well rewarded and the Gentleman who grounding himselfe vpon the like reasons looked for a farre greater rewarde if he presented a better thing and therevpon presented his Maiestie with a goodly horse and of great valew to whom the king very well conceauing his meaning gaue in reward the poore mans Radishes which he had deerly paide for Thus I beseech GOD most excellent Princesse to keepe and preserue you Written in the holy yeare 1600.
