Lewes his wife the Lady Mary daughter of Stephen king of Hungary had 9. male children borne in wedlocke betwene them Of those 9. we find that foure had issue of them we are now to entreat The first was Charles surnamed Martell the other three Robert Lewes and Philip Martell the eldest sonne succeeded by the right of his mother to the kingdome of Hungary but he died before his father leauing Carolobert or as the Italians in one word corruptly doe call him Caronumbert his sonne successor in Hungary Charles the 2. being departed this life in the yere 1309. Carolobert pretending a claime to the crown of Naples as descended vnto him by the right of his father did stand in cōtention for the same with his Vncle Robert who alledged on the other side that because Martell the father of Carolobert his elder brother was neuer seized of that kingdome therfore the same was to descend vnto him immediatly by the death of his father This great famous question being debated and vehemently argued amongst the Lawiers of that age to know which of them ought to succeede in the realmes dominions simply descending either the Vncle or the sonne of the elder brother who neuer was king it was in the end decided by Pope Clement the 6 who gaue sentence for Robert and adiudged that he should succeed into the kingdome crowne of Naples And Baldus of Perusa a famous Lawier in that age saith that the reason which moued the Pope to giue that iudgement was inregard of the publique common commoditie and in respect of the great good merits and admirable wisedome of the said Robert and he ordered the kingdome of Hungary to the Nephew Carolobert then king of Hungarie had two sons Lewes king of Hungary Andrew or Andreas and Robert who was crowned king of Naples Sicily and Ierusalem begot Charles surnamed without land who likewise dying before his father left 3. daughters Ione Mary Margaret Now Lewes the third sonne of Charles the 2. was Duke of Duras had issue Charles of Duras hereafter mentioned The fourth sonne of the said Charles was Philip Prince of Tarentum in Italy and he had issue a sonne named Lewes who succeded his father in that principality Now Robert king of Naples approching neere his end in the yeare 1342. did ordain by testament that Ione the eldest daughter of his sonne Charles should inherit his crowne and kingdom of Naples on condition she did espouse her selfe to Andrew his Cosin the sonne of Carolobert This yong Princesse being thus made Queene vpon the condition afore mentioned did marry with the said Andrew with whom being vpon a time at Auersa she sent vnto him in the night time praying him to come vnto her pretending that she had matters of importance to impart vnto him who comming to her in great haste was there taken and hanged vp at an yron grate with a lace or girdle of silke and golde wrought by the hands of the Queene herselfe The occasion of this murther as many pretend was for that this young Prince albeit he were of a youthfull and lusty constitution yet could not satisfie the insatiable lust appetite of his wife besides that she was incensed therunto by reason of the conspiracies of those of her bloud and kinred who did aspire to the soueraignty crowne of Naples But whatsoeuer was the cause therof she tooke immediatly to her husband or as some say for her paramour Lewes Prince of Tarent aboue mentioned her cosin german This crime and horrible fact of Queene Ione did seeme vnto al men so odious execrable that she made the good renowm memorie of Robert her grandfather to be now very ill reputed and badly thought of and the report of her detestable behauiour was speedily published and spread abroade in all places The Pope himself began to take the matter in hand perswaded with Lewes king of Hungary to vndertake the reuenge of his brothers death and so drew him into the Realme of Naples with a most puissant and mightie armie in the yeare 1348. notwithstanding the often letters of Queene Ione wherein she excused and purged her selfe of this misdeede and the murther of his brother At the comming and arriuall of the Hungarian king into Italy the sudden taking of Sulmo did so terrifie the rest that they presently submitted themselues to his deuotion insomuch that the Queene hauing her Tarentine in her company fled into Proence leauing in her place Charles of Duras to haue the commaund and gouernement of her kingdome who being also vanquished and taken in battell was by the sentence of the king of Hungarie beheaded as being priuie and partie to the death of Andrew Of this Charles there was a sonne left likewise named Charles of Duras The Hungarian by this meanes in lesse then three monethes had gotten the possession of the Realme of Naples and hauing left a strong garrison of Hungarians within the countrie he retyred himselfe into his owne kingdome carying away with him that young Prince of Duras Hereupon the Pope being vrged and pressed with the daily and continuall pursuit and entreatie of the Queene tooke the care of her affaires into his owne handes sending into Italy Guy of Limoges Cardinall of Port being his Nephew who knew so well how to handle conuey his matters that he brought both parties to an accord vpon these conditions that Ione should be restored to her realme and title of Queene of Naples and as for the Tarentine that he should only enioy the name of Prince of Tarentum moreouer that after her decease all her right interest in her kingdome should remain to the king of Hungary his successours Thus Ione being reestablished within a while after she knewe so well how to handle her matters so to practise with Pope Clement that in the yeare 1352. he crowned Lewes the Tarentine Prince King of Naples and yet so that he procured also the King of Hungarie to confirme the peace with both of them which had beene formerly concluded betwene them In recompence whereof the Queene graunted vnto the Pope by way of contract and sale the citie of Auignyon which was part of her patrimonie and inheritance but so as all that money which was due vnto the Church for the yearely fee and seruice of the kingdome of Naples from the time that she came to the crowne was allowed and deducted in the bargaine betweene them About a three yeares after the Tarentine dyed being wasted and consumed away by the excessiue vse and ouermuch companying with the Queene But she stayed not long without a companion for she coupled her selfe in mariage with Iames of Arragon the infant of Maiorque who was reputed the most gentle and courteous Prince liuing in that age Him did she retaine with her not in the title of King but onely as Duke of
of Barie with good successe of victorie but there being enclosed and pressed vpon with the troupes of the Count Alberic of Barbian Generall of the church forces and being enforced to come to the tryall of a battell he was ouerthrowen with a great slaughter of his people in the yeare a thousand three hundreth eightie three by the default of the Count Anguerrant called the Lord of Consey who being sent after the Duke with a supply of twelue thousand horse did not keepe on his way directly but a disire tooke him to force Arezza in Thuscane whereas he should haue made hast on his way and haue gone on to haue ioyned himselfe with the Duke who being sore hurte in that battell with fiue seuerall wounds whether it were that his Phisitions and surgeons did not well heale and cure him of his wounds or were it through the griefe and sorrow of his misfortune he died the yeare following at Biseilles The French being expelled out of the realme of Naples to the intent it should not want new troubls and tumultes fortune made Pope Vrban and Charles King of Naples mortall and deadly enemies The occasion thereof was thus The Pope being by nature somewhat rude and of litle ciuilitie in conuersation was come to Naples to obtaine his part of the frute and benefite of this late obtained victorie where he claimed a promise of the King of Naples vrged him vpon the same a litle too rudely to make one Boutill his nephewe Prince of Capua who was a most vile and base fellowe a man of no vertue nor other good desert and besides he would haue had the King to haue giuen him also the Dutchy of Duras The King was not verie well pleased at this motion but delaying his aunswer he put him off cunningly for a long time The Bishop of Rome on the other side did insist and vrge him verie hard to bring his purpose to effect but all was in vaine insomuch that growing into suspition the one of the other from thence they proceeded to open enmitie Charles making a faire shewe and carying all matters honestly yet did beare so good an eye vppon the Pope that he coulde neither goe nor speake freely at his pleasure but he being willing to get from him obtained leaue to goe onely vnto Mocrea to chaunge the aire where he beganne to deuise and to consult vppon the depriuing of Charles causing him to be cited and that proces should be framed against him The King in like case did practise with some of the Cardinalles his friendes to depose Vrban from his seate and to this end himselfe in person accompanyed with his forces went to Nocera saying That he was come thither by his assignement to present him with his obedience and to the intent hee would be neare at hand to heare the iudgement that should be giuen against him During this siege some sallies and skirmishes there were made in one of the which Boutill was taken and imprisonned The Pope being enflamed with wrath and anger discharged his choler vppon seuen of his sayed Cardinalles whome he caused to be shut vppe in close and streight prison and in the ende hauing them tormented caused them to dye as Sismatiques and fauorors of Charles Whilest these things were in working the Pope inuented a meane to get himselfe out of Nocera by the helpe of a great summe of money which he gaue vnto Saint Seuerin and Raimond Vrsin who conueighed him in gallies to Genes where being retired he cursed the King of Naples This Prince being neare to the end and period of his fortune which seemed to fawne vppon him and to flatter him vnder the pretence and colour of a newe crowne tooke his iourney into Hungarie where the Princes and Nobles of the countrie did greatly desire and verie earnestly expect his comming and did offer vnto him the scepter of Lewes their King who was of late deceased without any other issue then one onely daughter Charles before that time had espoused Margaret the sister of Queene Ione and by her had two children a sonne and a daughter Ladislaus Ione at his departure from Naples into Hungarie he left the gouernment of the Kingdome vnto the Queene his wife and certaine of the chiefest and most noble Barons of the realme himselfe being crowned King of Hungarie with the outwarde consent and liking of Elizabeth the Queene and widdowe of the late King and her daughter Marie who notwithstanding did it altogether of dissimulation with in few dayes after by their practise was slaine at Bude in the yeare 1388. The death of this Prince gaue occasion of new troubles and tumultes at Naples whereby the house and faction of Aniow grewe to be so fauored by fortune that they became Lordes of Naples and the Queene with her children was constrained to retire herselfe to Gaietta This meane while Lewes the second sonne of Lewes aboue mentioned at the request of those that were of his faction sent to Naples for their ayde and succours fiue gallies But Boniface the ninth a Neapolitan hauing nowe obtained the Popedome in the yeare of our Lord a thousand three hundreth ninetie did disanull and reuoke the censures and curse which Vrban his predecessour had denounced against King Charles and he inuestd Ladislaus with his fathers kingdome and caused him at Gaietta to be crowned King of Naples Sicile and Ierusalem as in like manner the same yeare Lewes the second Duke of Aniow tooke the crowne of Naples at the handes of Clement by the pursuie of the King of Fraunce and thereuppon made his entrie and was receiued into Naples in great honour and magnificense by those of his faction howbeit that many of the Nobles and gentlemen adhering and taking part with Ladislaus did openly refuse to acknowledge Lewes for their Soueraigne Thus these two Kings contending for one onely crowne did confound all things with most piteous disorder and destroyed the countrey which they laboured and striued eche of them to obtaine as his proper patrimonie till such time as the Partizans of the house of Aniow wanting money and treasure the sinewes of the warres caused the vesselles and vtensiles of gold and siluer belonging to the Churches of Naples to be molten and made into money for the paiment of their souldiours by the leaue and permission of Clement who shewed himselfe to haue small deuotion and litle conscience But all this notwithstanding the Count Alberic of Barbian being created Constable by Laaislaus presented himselfe with a strong armie before Naples and after many assaults and braue repulses he entred the towne and brought it vnder the obedience of the Dirrachium with the rest of the realme also and the sooner for that Lewes himselfe was absent who seeing himselfe in weake and feeble estate and the towne to be deuided by the tumultes and practises of Ladislaus whose places and strong holdes were well
Turkes One thing notwithstanding did much abate the courage and fiercenesse of our forces and that was because for default of bread the souldiers hauing no other but boyled wheate to liue vppon they died for the most part sodainely through a certaine violent flixe of the body caused by this kinde of victuall The Bassa therefore hastening with his troupes did incampe him selfe neare to the riuer of Morauia Huniades not able to endure this brauado first of all he sent certaine espialles to get notice and to bring him tidings of the approach of Amurath and as soone as he could make any true coniecture of his forces and of his determination with tenne thousand men the best appointed of all his hoast leauing the King behind in his campe he passed ouer the Moraâ—e and with notable violence went to charge the Barbarian who at the first approach being somewhat astonished did a little recule and giue backeward but all sodainely perceiuing and contemning their small numbers he attended the comming of Huniades and receiued him to the fight Castriot who now spied the time and opportunity â—it to accomplish his desire and determination which he had before conceiued in his minde and did seeke with all his power the ruine of the Turkes euen in the beginning of the battell did put him selfe with his owne bandes by litle and litle to the retrait and afterwards by plaine â—â—â—ght did turne his backe before the enemy striking into the others by his example a feare and terror and withall a certaine perswasion to do the like And indeed the Bassa was much terrified by this accident either because he saw so braue a man and one so resolute in the warres now contrary to his wonted manner prepare him selfe rather to flie then to fight or because he was in doubt that he was deceiued and betraied in regard whereof he charged the enemy more faintly and with lesse stomack This was the occasion that the Hungarians being encouraged as it appeared by the feare of the other without any great force or effusion of bloud brake and scattered the battell of their enemies who abandoning their armes and baggage their Captaines and Ensigns without any care of their companions and hauing no other recourse but to their heeles endeuoured to saue them selues by running Huniades pursuing the aduantage of his victory neuer left killing so long as there rested any for execution Euery place was full of mountaines as it were of dead bodies heaped together all was filled with feare and tumult especially at the sacking of the pillage and the ransacking of their campe Of prisoners there were about a foure thousand amongest others there was one taken aliue who was in chiefe accompt authority of the great Turk The Bassa with a very small company had much adoe to escape Then Scanderbeg as one carefull and diligent in his enterprise hauing first communicated and imparted it vnto his frends amongst whom was Amese his nephew a yong man of singular hope and appearance of vertue the sonne of Reposius afterwardes by the Turks named Carragusa by a wife which he had maried before he was empoisoned by Ottoman and now seeing the fortune of the Turke to decline towards a change and their army defeated he laid hands vpon the Secretary which was nearest vnto the Bassa vppon whom of purpose he had borne good espiall and hauing stayed him with a good corage he caused him to be fettered compelling him speedily after some refusall yet through feare of his life to endite for him counterfeit letters to the Gouernor of Croy by the which it was enioined him in Amurath his name to consigne the place into the hands of Scanderbeg as newly appointed and deputed to haue the entire charge gard thereof making him also to set downe in writing many reasons seruing to that intent and purpose for the better confirmation of the matter with some appearance of truth and probability to draw the Gouernour and his people the sooner to credite it The letters being written both the Secretary and all the rest which were taken together with him were presently put to death to the intent that the matter might the longer remaine concealed from the great Seigniour and not they onely but as many as fell into the hands of Castriot had no better fortune So that this army of the Turkes was almost all brought to nothing for that those also which escaped the fury of the souldiers comming by meanes of their dispersed and scattering flight into the handes of the Paisants by one and the same death made an end of their daies A great number of the souldiers Albanois who were present at this encounter after they had intelligence of the act of Scanderbeg as they went here and there wandering and dispersed aswell to auoide the hand of the Conqueror but principally pricked with the desire of their natiue countrey did gather them selues neare vnto him and in an instant they were found to be a troupe of three hundred good and able men Haniades and his people charged with inestimable spoile and booty did retire themselues to their companions I may not here let passe in silence that which some haue seemed to affirme That Scanderbeg had before hand had some intelligence with the Hungarians and by secret messengers had acquainted and instructed Huniades of all matters in particular that he was the cause that made him hasten with his forces Howsoeuer it was as I dare not auerre it so I doe not greatly stand vpon it But this I beleeue well that all things were guided and directed with singular prudence and good aduise and the euent and issue of the matter which many times is a true Iudge of our actions doth authorise and confirme this opinion But leauing Hungary for a season let vs draw backe into Epire whilest in the meane time the renow me of this great losse and the newes of this notable discomfiture is posting towards Amurath The victorious Castriot hauing fully satisfied his wrath and accomplished his vowes and desire vpon his enemies and hauing likewise rather adorned then charged his souldiers with honourable spoiles dislodging from thence with very long iournyes he arriued with his troupe into the vpper Dibria the seauenth day after This towne is seated in the confines of the Tribullians seauenty miles from Croie and is very famous amongst the Epirots for that it bringeth forth men very actiue and valiant and it was singularly esteemed and fauoured of Scanderbeg by reason of their fidelity and many commendable seruices which they had done for the defence and protection of the state vnder Iohn his father at such time as he was molested by Ottoman Other towne or fortresse there is not in those Marches towardes Macedony but onely Sfetigrade but the people of the countrey dispersed throughout mountaines and vallies without any enclosures of

answer That sooner more easily he could be perswaded to hang himself then to abiure those traditions though he were now past ninetie yeares of age which he had reciued from his forefathers giuing vs thereby to vnderstand how dangerous a thing it is to make a mock and iest of religion and of the Sonne of God and to follow after peruerse and false opinions when they shall once grow to haue gotten an habit within vs. For the Despot in this perswasion retyring himselfe from the presence of the Frier was heard oftentimes to reiterate and repeate these words That he had rather his subiects should call him a Prince miserable and vnfortunate then an old and aged dotard This man then now at this time did mightely cleaue vnto the Turke and fauoured his quarrell against the Christians both in regard of his daughter Gathagusina whom he had maried vnto Amurath as also because of the hatred which he bare vnto the Hungarians but especially to Iohn Huniades the Despot of Transiluania by whose aide assistance as we haue before declared in the enlargement and libertie of Scanderbeg at such time as he was succoured against the Sultan restored into his kingdome he tooke it in ill part that certaine townes and places of Verâ—ia which had bene graunted vnto Huniades in recompence of his vertue and desert were not restored and redeliuered vnto him For this cause vnderstanding of the preparations made for the warre of Hungarie and of the comming of Scanderbeg who approched neare his borders he stopped vp all the wayes and passages and debarred him from entring within his dominions Castriot did assay but all in vaine by his Ambassadors sent to the Despot to admonish him of the wrong and iniurie which he offred him and he intreated him in friendly sort That he might not be the first which should charge him with ill dealing who had giuen him no cause of offence and iniurie that he would not of his friend and neighbour purchase him for his enemie and draw vpon him selfe the arms both of all Hungarie and Epire. That he would not suffer and procure by his meanes and occasion onely so great a losse and mischiefe to all Christendome which might swallow vp both himselfe his estate and Empire For albeit in regard of his daughter he did so cleaue and adhere vnto Amurath yet he should not thereby hope and expect for any other then certaine losse assured dammage hauing had good proofe experience both of the infidelitie and periurie of his sonne in law of the great pleasures benefites which the Hungarians on the other part had often times done him These perswasions nothing preuailing in a mind so depraued and corrupted and the Prince of Epire now perceiuing that he was out of all hope to get passage by anie other meanes then by the sword he fully resolued with him selfe to take that course notwithstanding that both it displeased him highly that he held it a matter of some danger and difficultie to begin the warres so neare his owne home and to hazard his forces at that time to the trauell of armes which hee had thought to haue reserued whole fresh and sound and to haue made proofe and triall of them against the royall armie of a more worthie and stronger enemie Whilest the Albanian army thus incensed through discontentmeÌ„t did spend their time vpon the borders of Misia in the middest of infinite inconueniences and discommodities and whilest the iourney of Scanderbeg was delaied rather then hindered by the disloialty of that Apostata the Despot for there is no doubt but he could at length haue gotten passage though not without some dammage and losse of his forces Vladislaus in the meane time both encouraged by the letters receiued from Scanderbeg prouoked also with an assured hope and conceipt of the honour and successe of future victory or rather being drawen on by a certain fatall necessity wherunto he was predestinat such was the particular desteny of them all and Fortune not contented nor satisfied with so many deadly mortall spectacles did now inuite these men who of late had bene preserued and had yet scarce breathed themselues from their forepassed miseries to the danger of more lamentable and fatall perils Vladislaus I say and the army of the Christians hauing marched through Valachia and passed ouer the Danow were now come to Varna with an intent purpose to conioyne vnite their forces to those which were at Sea and so to passe on with easie iournies and ensigns displaid into Romania The countrey of Varna which did swarme with such numbers of enemies shortly after long afore hand was infamous through the ruine of many mighty armies and was a place alwaies as hateful and odious euen to the brauest souldiors is a goodly champion plaine valley situated on the other side of the confines of Misia vpon the sea called Maggiore or the greater sea foure dayes iourney from Andrinople in a streight gulfe betweene two pointes or promontories vppon the one of which is seated Galata and vpon the other Macropolis The bottome of that valley on the right hand is inhabited with husbandmen in seuerall small villages or hamlettes slenderly peopled and frequented On the left hand where Galata standeth is a great marshe at the foot of the hils extending forth her still standing waters euen to the other valley neare at hand which bendeth towards the Occident Amurath being aduertised of these troubles towardes was not any whit discouraged but hauing liuely repulsed the Caramanian and reassured his countrie of Natolia he made no doubt nor difficultie of anie thing but onely howe he might transport his armie ouer the sea by reason that the fleete of the bishoppe of Rome and the Duke of Burgundie did take from him all hope of passage in such sort that he made no great haste to march against the Christians till such time as certaine Marchants Genowayes if it be true that is reported did free and deliuer him from that care in consideration of a great rewarde promised and agreed vppon to be giuen them For at a certaine narrow streight of the sea betweene the two seas of Maggiore and Propontide deuiding Asia from Europe was the Turkish army transported out of Asia they that passed them ouer taking for ech man his passage a ducat There were numbred to be about a hundred thousand all which were gathered and collected out of Asia because the Sultan had a vehement suspition of the faith both of the Greekes and his other subiects within Europe After his armie was once transported he marched on with speede and celeritie so incredible that within seuen daies he came to pitch his tentes within foure miles of the Christians campe neere to the citie of Varna named by the auncients Dionisiopolis The suddaine and vnexpected newes of the approach of Amurath with so great and mightie a
