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 princes that were or had bene his enimies Frauncis the french king Henrie the king of Nauarre Clemens the Pope Ihon Frederick Prince electour of Saxon Eruest Duke of Brunswicke the lustie Lantgraue of 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 houres 140 shippes and 15. galleys and almost all his ordinaunce and Martiall furniture and prouision and hardly susteyning the incessant inuasions of his fierce enimies and more hardly the violent 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 into the sea at their departure for lacke of shipping After this followed the great discomfiture in battell giuen vnto his valiaunt capteine the Marques

they had supped together merrily abroade and threwe his bodie into Tyber for no other cause but for that his fathers minde was that Frauncis shoulde marrie and increase the name of the Borgiae the which he would make honourable with large dominions but Caesar he had as it were banished into the cloyster of religion disguising him with a redde hatt the whiche was farre inferiour vnto his royal harte and immesurable desire of earthly honours who bare in his ensigne this worde Aut Caesar aut nihil an Emperour or nothinge the which insatiable thirst of his the Colonnese fearinge that he would quenche with their bloude abandoned all their dominions and landes and fledde away folowing the Castor who some say bites off his owne stones when hee is hardly persued knowing that for them onely his death is sought but the Orsines allured with his liberal interteinemente to serue him in the warres were almoste all murdered Baptista the cardinall at Rome Frauncis the Duke of Grauina and Paulo in the territorie of Perugia Liberto Prince of Firma Vitelloccio Vitelli one of the Princes of Ciuita de Castello at Senogallia the which caused all the rest of the Vitelli to flie and by their liues with the losse of their liuinges And also the noble men of the house of Gaieta who possessed the towne of Sermoneta in Campagna di Roma Iames Nicholas and Bernardine beeing slaine some one way and some an other yealded their castels lands and goodes vnto Caesar And also the Dukes of Camerino Caesar Anibal and Pyrrhus were expelled their dominions and strangled Astor Manfredi Prince of Fauenza yealdinge the towne and himselfe vppon promisse of safetie was slaine and cast into Tyber Furthermore Pandulpho Malatesta Iohn Sforza and Guido Vbaldo had rather by flight leaue their dominions of Rimini Pesaro and Vrbine vnto the inuading tyranne then be murdered And also Iames Appiano let him haue the principalitie of Piombino But Catharine Sforza who reigned at Forly and Imola hauing lost by force her dominions being taken prisoner was brought in triumphe to Rome But while by this bloudy way he encroched on al the principalities about him he also commaunded the prince of Beselio base sonne vnto Alfonse kinge of Naples yea and his sisters husbande to be slaine in her chamber yea in her bed being before wounded in the Courte of the church of Saint Peter but so that it was thought he woulde escape And by the same meanes he dispatched the yonger Borgia the Cardinal because he had seemed to fauour the duke of Candia his brother he also sauagely slue as he came from supper Iohn Cerbellion a man of greate nobilitie both at home and also in the warres because he had seuerely kept the honestie of a gentlewoman of the house of Borgia He did also put to death Iames Santatrucio a noble man of Rome thē whome there was no man more friende and familiar with Caesar neither for anie other cause but for that he was able vpon a soudeine to gather together a stronge bande of lustie felowes of the Orsine faction make them couragiously to attēpt anie exploite But whē for this cursed and vnquenchable desire of Empire he and his father had appointed to poyson at a feast certeine noble and riche princes his man mistaking the flagon gaue thereof vnto the vngratious father and worse sonne whereof the father beeing olde died but his blessed byrde a lustie younge man was by manie medicines conserued to greater punishmente for after the deathe of Alexander the Colonese and the Orsines that were lefte returned vnto Rome Then Caesar that he might not be ouermatched by haueing warres with both the families restored vnto the Colonese all their possessions on whome in diuerse places he had sumptuously buylt Guido Defeltrie recouered Vrbine Iohn Sforza Pesaro excepte the castle Malatesta Riminie but the castle was stil retayned by Caesar and the Baleones Perugia through the helpe of the Orsines who also toke Tuderto with the castell and put to shamefull deathe the capteine and with like successe at Viterby Ameria and all the cities there aboutes either they restored the Princes of their owne faction or else strengthened them and had also beesieged Caesar in Nepe if hée had not fearefully fledde into Rome the whiche hee obteyned of the newe Pope Pius as a safe refuge but Pope Pius dying within twentie seuen dayes the Orsines also entered the citie with a greate power whome the greatest parte of the citizens fauoured and the Orsines requested that Caesar might according to iustice be put to death for his manifolde murthers or els kept in sure warde in the castell vntill that his cause were hearde But while the matter was prolonged with outragious altercations Caesar being afrayde stale away out of his house in the Suburbes into the Popes palace then his souldiours who vntil that time had valiantly guarded him perceiuing that their Capteines courage quayled and that he sought for hyding holes fled also awaye some to one place and some vnto another leauing him guardlesse among the cruell companies of his enimies and forceing him because hee could otherwise stande in no suretie of his life to desire as a greate benefite to be cast into the castell of Sainct Angelo vntil that a new Pope were created the which béeing Iulius the seconde would not set him at libertie before that he had deliuered vp all the Castels and townes that he had in the territorie of Rome Romandiola and the duchie of Spolieto But not long after preparing at Naples an expedition into Romandiola he was at the Popes earnest suite imprisoned in the newe castell and shortly after carried into Hispanie where he brake prison and fledde vnto the kinge of Nauarre whose néere cousine he had married and there was slaine in a skirmishe with this euent that not béeing knowen he was spoyled of all his armour and clothes and left starke naked and so brought by one of his seruauntes vnto the citie of Pompelona where he had sometimes béene Bishoppe a notable document of mannes miserie But as I saide before I passing ouer in silence all those greate worldlinges whome Fortune at the last ouerthrewe will examine the liues and infortunities onely of those whome the worlde doth account most fortunate and search whether that God did not oftē make them to féele his force and to confesse their owne frailtie The xxxi Chapter The vnluckie chaunces of Augustus AND first I will beginne with him that thought so well of his owne fortune that when he sent his nephue Caius into Armenia against the Par●thians he wished that the loue good will of Pompey the hardinesse prowesse of Alexander the Fortune of him self might accompanie him Neither had hee alone this opinion of his good Fortune but it was also generally receiued of all men in so muche that it was decréede and also kept vntil the time of Iustinian that the people shoulde crie at the creation of a

foūdation do kingdoms stand on so tottering a stoole do princes sitt that sporting Fortune séemes oftentimes to put them into the hand of a madd man But nothing did more manifestly shewe vnto him his brittle blisse then the reuolting of all the noble men of the farther Hispaine except the duke of Alua vnto Philip duke of Burgogie who had maried his eldest daughter and heire at his arriual in Hispaine after the death of Quéene Isabell they eftsones saying that they would rather adore the sunne rising then going downe The griefe of this shamefull forsaking of him did so gripe the aged princes heart that not being able to endure the dishonour to be a subiecte where hee had long reigned he left Hispaine and sailed with his newe wife vnto Naples chosing rather to cōmit himselfe vnto the doubtfull faith of the gouernour and conquerour of that flourishing kingdome whom the report was minded to reuolt make himselfe king of Naples the which hée might easily haue done then vnto the open ill wills and rebellion of the vnfaithful Hispaniards And doubtlesse hee was in very great danger of being vtterly excluded out of his kingdomes of Castill Lions if that God had not shortly after taken out of the world his sonne in lawe who was so alienated from him that when the courteous king laden with wearisome yeares had taken a lōg paineful iourney to receiue him at the water the proud and vnciuil duke would not vouchsafe to shew him any countenaunce But after he had giuen him scornefully a word or two and them too in French which the king vnderstood not he flange away from him al the nobilitie with him The xlix Chapter Of William Conquerour BVt nowe after that wee haue romed long abroad in all forreigne lands let vs returne home vnto our owne countrie take a view of such Princes as haue by dint of sword atteined the imperial crowne thereof or enlarged the dominions least we may be thought to be like vnto the Lamiae in Poets whome they do faine to sée very exactly when they are abroad but to be starke blinde at home William bastard sonne vnto Robert duke of Normandie who left him his heire although by puissance he cōquered this land discomfited in battel the king of Denmarke forced the king of Scotland for feare to do him homage sweare him fealtie yet the often rebellions and secrete treasons of the Englishmen Normans the perfidiousnes of his owne déere brother Odo in whom he reposed his greatest trust the wicked reuolting of his eldest sonne Robert vnto the French king with his aide his daungerous inuasion of Normandie his arme thrust through in fight and his vnhorsing by that vnnaturall child and his bowelles sore brused by a leape off his horse in his last voyage against the French king of the intollerable torments whereof he died will not suffer him to be enrolled among the happie But nothing in my mind doth more manifestly bewray his infelicitie then that he had not so much ground at his death as could couer his carcase without doing an other man wrong and that which the begger hath without contradiction was denied and forbidden this mightie king Hée had built S. Stephens Church at Cane in Normandie where he would be buried vppon an other mans ground and had not payed the owner for it who being then a very poore man yet nothing fearing the funeral pompe and the great number of nobles attending on the corps did thrust through the thickest thronge of the solemne traine like vnto a madd man and got him to the Church doore wherein he stoode stoutly to withstand the bearing into the Church of the kings body crying out with a lowde voice Hée that in his life time oppressed kingdomes by his furious force hath hitherto with feare also oppressed mee but I that do suruiue him that hath done me the wronge will not graunt rest and peace vnto him now he is dead The place whereinto ye doe carrie this dead man is mine I claime that it is not lawfull for any man to lay a dead body in an other mans ground But if that the case do so stand that when as now at the length through the grace of good God the author of this so vnworthie a wrong is extinguished yet force still doth flourish I do appeale vnto Rhollo the founder father of this nation who alone is of greater power by the lawes which he ordeyned then is any mans iniurie And therewithal I know not whether by hap or mans fraud there soudeinly was séene a great fire which raged on the Church the houses neere adioyning then euery body spéedily running to quench the fire left the kinges corps desolate all alone onely Henrie the kings youngest sonne could not be gotten frō his fathers body who being feared with as it were the manifest wrath of God presently paid the poore mā for his ground discharged his fathers iniurious spirite But these blisselesse bones of his which so hardly obteined entumbing did afterward as vnluckily againe lose it in Anno Domini 1562. when Chastillion conducting reliquias Danaum atque immitis Achillis those that had escaped at the battell at Dreax toke the citie of Cane For certaine sauage souldiours accompanied with foure Capteynes did beate downe and vtterly deface the noble tumbe and monument of that renowmed conquerour and victorious king and pulled out all his bones which they spitefully threwe away when that they could not finde the treasure that they falsly surmised had béen layed vp there as I haue béene certainly enformed by Englishmen of very good credite faithfull fauourers of the reformed who sawe this sorrowfull sight scarse without distilling teares And also Theuet maketh mention of this matter in his vniuersall Cosmographie writing of Cane The l. Chapter Of Henrie the second HENRIE the second had by his father the Earledomes of Aniow Toures and Maine by his mother the kingdome of England and the duchie of Normandie and by his wife the mightie duchie of Aquitane and the earledome of Poitow conquered the kingdome of Ireland and toke prisoner in battell the king of Scottes but this his glistering glorie was fouly darkened by the shamefull submission of his crowne vnto the Romane Sée as Platina their recorder doth report or certes by binding himselfe vnto vnreasonable conditions to abate the enuie of the murther of Thomas the archbishop of Canterburie as our Chronicles do record and by the daungerous and wicked warres a long time kept in Normandie Fraunce and England with al his vngodly sonnes Henrie Richard Gefferie and Iohn yea and his owne wife and their mightie confederats the kings of Fraunce and Scotland with a great number of the English nobilitie and after the death of his vngracious sonne Henrie by the second reuolting of his sonne Richard vnto the French king who wan from him in those warres a great part of the duchie of Normandie and besieged him in the
