fruites of the same Fiftly and lastly Philip the seuenth Duke of Sauoy had two wiues The first Margaret of Burbon who brought him sixtie thousand crownes By the contract of this marriage the children that should be borne to thē should succeed each other in the whole and vnto them as in aduance is giuen the Countie of Bauge and Castelwick of Bourg in Bresse Of this marriage issued a sonne called Philibert and Loyse that was mother to King Francis the first By the second wife hee had two sonnes Philibert succeeded his Father and dyed without issue leauing his sister his heyre generall as well by course of the common law which preferreth the conioyned on both sides as by the expresse clause of the contract of marriage True it is that in those lands that preferre the male child our Lady Regent pretended no part but in al her mothers goods in that which was giuen in aduaunce and in all the moueables and goods shee was her brothers vndoubted and sole heyre In the yeere 1534. King Francis the first sent diuers times sundrie great personages to Charles the ninth Duke of Sauoy his Lady Mothers halfe brother to demaund his rights But this Duke preuented by the passions of his wife and lingring in hope of a certaine exchange most daungerous for vs not onely denied to doe him reason in these so euident and palpable rights but also resolued to debarre the Kings passage as he was on his iourney to be reuenged vpon Sforce Duke of Millan for the most villanous act that euer was committed namely the beheading of the Lord Merueilles Ambassadour of France Hereupon did the King denounce warre to the Duke of Sauoy who wrongfully detained his rights and according to law of Nations which giueth to the strongest in true and full proprietie the goods of him that hath denied him his right his Maiestie in the yeere 1536. conquered Sauoy Bresse and Piedmont which he reserued twentie three yeres And very presumptuous he had been that durst haue mooued this great King to abandon this principall rampier or bulwarke of the Gaules for the custodie whereof wee neede not to crosse the seas or trauaile through forrain Countries but may come to it by firme footing Thus are great empires cymented and established But such was the calamitie of France that in the yeere 1559. wee made a treatie whereby wee rendered 198. places where the King held his garrisons as the Marshall Monluc doth testifie who tearmeth it the vnfortunate and accursed peace saying that since the same wee haue neuer beene free from misfortunes Also that our Ciuill wars haue wasted more valiant Captaines in seuen yeeres then any forraine warres in seuentie Yet spake he not this vpon any good will that hee bare to those with whome wee were at warres for they neuer had a sorer enemie or any that dealt more rudely with them But the Flower de Luce was painted in his heart and hee most vehemently did affect any thing that might tend to the greatnesse and glorie of this crowne In this regard he could not without griefe speake of so vnprofitable a restitution whereto our mishap had forced vs with a whole sequence of all sorts of miseries in that so many warlike people as he termeth them could not otherwise employ themselues then in most furious cutting each others throates Neuerthelesse we did not at that time so farre giue way to the storme that tossed and turmoyled this Realme but that wee retayned fiue of the principall and strongest townes of Piedmont as pledges for the reason that should be done vs in our rights namely Thurin Quiers Chiuas Pinerol Villeneufue d' Ast wherein we are also to note that our treatie of peace in 1559. in expresse words imported that the King should holde Thurin Chiuas and Villeneufue d' Ast with all their confines territories commaunds iurisdictions and other appurtenances and as for Quiers and Pinerol the king should hold thē with such confines territories as he should find to be necessarie for the sustenance and defence of the fayd places Now at the same time dyed King Henry the second leauing king Frauncis verie young which occasion the Duke of Sauoy would not ouerslip For being still at Paris fourteene dayes after the fathers death he obtained the sonnes letters patents neuer verified as the treaty of peace was wherein the confines of these fiue townes were restrained to a Piedmont myle which was as much as to abridge vs of the fiue sixt partes at the least of all that was left vs as if it had not beene enough that we had yeelded vp so many places vnlesse wee were also so straightened in the remainder of our shipwrack All which notwithstanding I would to God things had yet so remained But in the yeare 62. during our first ciuill warres they that had alreadie found opportunitie so to shorten the territories seeing the realme in trouble and King Charles but twelue yeares old gaue the aduenture restored into this Dukes hands Thurin Quiers Chinas Villeneufue d' Ast Ten battelles would not haue wrested from vs such places which had cost Fraunce so much gold and bloud Not long before they had in fit time made away Marshall Brissac who would rather haue cast himselfe headlong from the rockes then in the kings nonage haue giuen vp townes of such importance to the crowne the value whereof hee was better acquainted withall then any man aliue His successor in this gouernment yet accounted one of the fayrest in regard of the great importance thereof forgat no remonstrance and in deed he satisfied all men but himselfe for thrice did he refuse the execution of so wonderfull hurtfull an acte vsing most vehement and liuely remonstrances and protestations crauing an assemblie of the Estates or at the least considering the Kings minoritie the verification of the Parliament of Peeres sitting at Paris Had they had any hope to obtaine this promulgation it had not beene denyed him especially considering that it would haue stoode for a discharge to all others But they knew very wel that such a parliament consisting of so many great personages practised in all sorts of affayres who also by the reading of hystories were acquainted with the truth of our rights mentioned in the beginning would neuer by their decree haue authorized an acte so preiudiciall to the estate In this regard not daring to exhibite such letters to the Parliament of Fraunce they grew to such grieuous and strange threates against this Gouernour that at the last hee gaue way howbeit with such and so violent griefe that it stucke by him to his end and brought him to his graue enforcing him sundrie times to crie out that he was accursed that he ought to haue dyed in Thurin vnlesse his master after declaration of his maioritie had of his owne absolute authoritie reuoked him also that peraduenture his Maiestie finding what a faire flower they sought to plucke from his crowne and what a griefe
