the puisance of whose armes the Almaines the Italians the Lumbardes the Hispaniardes the Moores the Bohemians the Bauares the Hunnes the Slauoines the Saracenes the Greekes did féele of whom did he triumphe Moreouer he reigned fourtie seuen yeres and liued thréescore and twelue and had thrée valiaunt sonnes and with rare felicitie loued also to haue the triall of the valiancie of their sonnes and yet was he forced to féele the manifolde incommodities of wretched man First the Colonie of Eresburg was won by the Saxons and almoste all the Garison slaine that was placed there to bridle their irruptions and the Prouinces adioyning wasted and the sacred churches euery where burnt All the heauie carriages of his armie as wel his owne priuate plate and housholde stuffe as of all the whole armie were lost in his returne out of Hispaine in his first voiage thither Guielo his highe Constable was slaine with all his power by the Saxons eight thousande horses were lost by contagion in an expedition againste the Hunnes Two daungerous conspiracies were there made to murder him the one by certaine noble men of the house of Austratia the other by his owne base sonne Pipine and his adherents Then at one time were foure heauie messages brought him that the commissioners that he had sent to take vppe souldiers in Saxon to serue against the Hunnes and also his olde officers there were slaine by the rebelling people and that a power of the Abrodites a fierce nation in armes comming to staie this tumult was slain with their King Vizen by an ambushe that his souldiers that kept the frontiers of Hispaine had a great ouerthrowe at the siege of Burselona finally that Gerolde Liefetenant of Bauare was slaine with a chosen bande of fiue hundrethe horse by the rebelling Hunnes Moreouer he coulde come no farther from his creation and Coronation of Emperour at Rome then Spoleto but that an horrible earthquake tooke him aboute the seconde houre of the nighte to the greate terrour and dammage of Italie Fraunce and Germanie For some hilles suncke into the ground in other places newe mountaines were raised vppe by prodigious casting vp of the earth some towns were throwen down other swallowed vp with hideous gulfe the swifte course of Noble riuers was driuen backe the Sea in some places ranne backward and forsooke the shore but in other ouerflowed and drowned al the countrie The citie of Rome was fowly deformed with ruines and the Churche of Saint Peter almoste quite destroyed The times seasons of the yeare were also turned into their contraries for the winter was warme and of the temperature of the spring and vpon Midsummer day was there a hoare frost hard frosen as if it had beene at Christmas and after this trembling of the earth and the threttes as it were of pleasant Summer taken away from the worlde did there a pestilent Autumne or haruest folow to shew vnto this new Emperour the power of the almightie Emperour that his aduancement vnto the highest degree of earthly honour shoulde not make him forget the reuerence seruice due vnto the heauenly highenesse Then foure yeres before he died buried he almost with continuated funerals his two valiaunt sonnes Pipine and Charles the one at Millan the other in Bauier And two yeres after this domestical incomparable dammage followed the cutting off of the thirde battel of his armie at Ronceual at their returne out of Hispaine no place is more famous for the discomfiture of the Frenchemen nor more celebrated in bookes and songes in all countries of christendome namely for the death of his cosen Rouland and other the floures of Fraunce and that whiche doth heape the harme he was nowe so worne with withering age that he was not able to stirre to séeke the reuenge therof but died in this dishonour The xxxix Chapter Of Charles the fift CHarles the fift was the mightiest Emperour since Charles the great bothe for his large dominions and also Martiall actes His fortunate byrth gaue him the kingdomes of the Hispaines Mallorca Minorca Sardina Sicyl Naples and of the West Indies and the riche and large dominions of base Germanie or the lowe countrie and his great towardlinesse the Empire but his valiaunce the Duches of Mylan and Placentia with the rich and mightie kingdomes of Mexico and Peru in the North and South parts of the West Indies with many other countries in those regions and the kingdome of Tunes in Africa He sacked the proude Ladie of the world Rome he subdued the Florētines and the Senese depriuing them both of libertie and brought the stately states of all Italie to be at becke He made the stout Almanes to stoupe and atchieued an absolute conquest of Germanie he recouered the Duchie of Geldres and the Earldome of Zulphen from the Duke of Cleaue and forced him suppliantly to sue for pardon and peace He often discomfited the french power made many honourable voyages into Fraunce and valiantly with great detriment repelled the Turke when with a huge power of seuen hundreth thousande men as it were with monstrous gaping iawes he thought to haue deuoured all Germanie yea and with rare felicitie he tooke prisoners almost all the Christian

Hessen and William duke of Cleaue came in and yealded them selues vnto his mercie And yet did this fondling of fortune as it may yet séeme often féele her ficklenesse For his Admirall that brought him out of Hispaine into Italie to be crowned Emperour at Bologna was in his returne taken with all his fléete by Turkishe pyrates then made he in person a frustrate and fruitlesse expedition into Prouince where he lost aboue 20000. men and afterwarde a more infortunate vnto Angier in Africa from whence he departed the citie not won losing by tempest a great parte of his nauie yea within fewe

surges of the raging sea which now againe drowned many and threwe thereon the pernicious of the enimie in so much that it was the newes in all places that the Emperour was drowned and also during all the time of his aboade on the land it rayned continually so that the souldiers could not rest their tyred bodies on the wet and ouerflowed ground but only a little refreshed their decayed strength by slumbering on their weapons and also the shippes in whom their victuals were being lost by tempest they were forced to kyl many of their horses to sustaine their starued bodyes and to cast the rest
