Christendome thought it better for him to ende the peace with some aduauntage thē that the Turke should begyn the warre with too much strength therfore in sommer .1550 he sent Iohn de Vega Viceroy of Cicile Andrea Dorea into Barbaria who wan the strong towne of Affrica from Dragut Raies sometyme a Pirate and now the Turkes chief doer in all the affaires of Affrike and mare mediteraneo This Court raised vp other rumors of this brech with the Turke how that this enterprice was made for Seripho sake a hethen kyng But the Emperours frend in Barbaria to whom Dragat Rayes had done great wrong yet men that knew the truth and are wont also to say it haue told me that the towne of Affrica stode so fit to annoy Spayne for the Turke when he lift that the Emperour was compelled to seeke by all meaner to obtaine it much fearyng lest when he was absent in Germany the Turke would be too nigh and to homely a gett with hym in Spayne whensoeuer the peace should be expired The whole story of winnyng Affrica ye may read whē you list beyng wel written in Latin by a Spaniard that was present at it Affrica was earnestly required agayne by the Turke and fayre promised agayne by the Emperour but beyng in deede not deliuered the Turke for a reuenge the next yeare first assaulted Malta and after wan Tripoly from whence the Turke may easely and soddenly whensoeuer hee list set vpon Cicelie Naples or any cost of Italie or Spayne and most commodiously what soeuer the Emperour doth hold in Barbary ▪ so that the gayne of Affrica is thought nothyng comparable with the losse of Tripoly When Tripoly was besieged by the Turkes Monsieur Daramont was sent Ambassadour to Constantinople from the French kyng and ariuyng by the way at Mal●a hee was desired by the great master of the order to go to Tripoly and for the frendshyp that was betwene Fraunce and the Turke to treat for the Christians there Daramont did so and had leake of the Turkes generall to enter the towne and talke with the Captaine And by this madnes they within yelded on this condition to part safe with bag and baggage which was graunted by the generall But assoone as the Turkes entred the towne they put old yong man woman and child to the sword sauing two hundred of the strongest men to be their Galley slaues for euer The generall beyng asked why he kept no promise made this aunswere If the Emperour had kept faith with my master for Affrica I would not haue broken with them of Tripoly and therefore sayth he with Christen men which care for no trothe promises may iustly be broken This Turkish crueltie was reuenged this last yeare in Hungary when lyke promise of lyfe was made and yet all put to the sword the Christians biddyng the Turkes remember Tripoly To such beastly crueltie the noble feates of armes be come vnto betwixt the Christen men and the Turkes And one fact of either side is notable to bee knowen yet horrible to be told and fouler to be followed and it is pitie that mās nature is such as will commonlie commend good thynges in readyng and yet will as commonly follow ill thynges in doyng The Bass● of Bud● tooke in a skirmish a gētleman of the kyng of Romanes for whose deliuery men for entreaty and money for hys raunsome were sent to Bud● The Bass● appointed a day to geue them aunswere and at time and place assigned called for them and sent for the gentleman likewise And soddenly com● out two hangmen bare armed with great butchers kniues in theyr handes bringing with them certaine ●andogge● musled kept hungry without meate of purpose the Bassa bad them do their feate who commyng to the gentleman stripped him naked and bound him to a piller after with their kniues they cut of his flesh by gobbets and flang it to the dogges Thus the poore gentlemā suffred grief great for the payne but greater for the spight nor so tormēted in feelyng his fleshe mangled with kniues as in seyng him selfe peece meale deuoured by dogges And thus as long as hee felt any payne they cut him in collops and after they let their dogges lose vpon him to eate vp the residue of him that the grief which was ended in him being dead might yet continue in his frendes lookyng on They were bad depart and tell what they saw who ye may be sure were in care enough to cary home with them such a cruell message Not long after this three Turkes of good estimation and place were taken by the Christen men for whose raunsome great summes of gold were offred Aunswere was made to the messenger that all the gold in Turky should not saue thē And because ye Turkes will eate no swines flesh you shall see if swine will eate any Turkish fleshe And so likewise great bores were kept hungry in sight of the messenger the three Turkes were cut in collops and throwne amongest them For these foule deedes I am not so angry with the Turkes that began them as I am sory for the Christen men that follow them I talked with a worthy gentleman this day both for his great experience and excellent learnyng Marc Anthonio d'A●●la Ambassadour of Venice with the Emperour who told me that the great Turke him selfe Religion excepted is a good and mercyfull iust and liberall Prince wise in makyng and true in performyng any couenant and as sore a reuenger of troth not kept He prayed God to kepe him long aliue for his eldest sonne Mustapha is cleane contrary geuē to all mischief cruell false gettyng he careth not how vniustly and spendyng he careth not how vnthriftely what soeuer he may lay hand on wilye in makyng for his purpose ready to breake for his profite all couenantes he is wery of quietnes and peace a seeker of strife and warre a great mocker of meane men a sore oppressor of poore men openly contemnyng God and a bent enemy agaynst Christes name and Christen men But to go forward with my purpose The Turke beyng onest disclosed an open enemy to the Emperour many meane men begā to be the bolder to put out their heades to seeke some open remedy for theyr priuate iniuries Fraunce beyng at euery mans elbow to harten and to helpe whosoeuer had cause to be aggreued with the Emperour And first Octauio Duke of Parma much agreued as nature well required with his fathers death besides that fearing the losse not onely of his state but also of his lyfe fell from the Emperour in the end of the yeare .1550 Pietro Aloysio Farnesio sonne to Papa Paulo tercio Duke of Placētia father to this Duke Octauio Duke of Parma which maried the Emperors base daughter and to Horatio Duke of Castro who of late hath maried also the French kynges base daughter and the two
