I. - - THE KING OF FRANCE ENTERS THE CITY OF NAPLES IN TRIUMPH.--THE ATTACK - AND CAPTURE OF THE CASTEL NUOVO AND THE CASTEL DEL OVO.--OF THE EVENTS - THAT PASSED IN NAPLES. - - -On Sunday, the 22d day of February, in the year 1494, king Charles -dressed himself in his royal robes, and triumphantly entered the city -of Naples. Although he afterwards made another entry, as shall be more -fully detailed, he, however, showed himself this day the true king and -potent lord of Naples, and went thence to the castle of Capua. - -As some of the partisans of king Alphonso still held the citadel of -Naples, the Castel Nuovo, and the Castel del Ovo, king Charles ordered -them to be instantly attacked, although one side of the citadel was -washed by the sea. He had his battering artillery pointed against the -Castel Nuovo; and the captains of the guard for the king were sir -Gabriel de Montfaucon, Jean de la Grange, and others of rank. - -Not to prolong matters, the citadel was gained after a very severe -attack; and the Germans, Neapolitans, and Spaniards, of the party -adverse to the king of France, burnt the outworks and hastily retreated -to join their associates in the Castel Nuovo. In the citadel were found -the largest cannons that had ever been seen, with such quantities of -other things of an extraordinary appearance that it was more than eight -days before the place could be cleared, by employing numbers of people -and carts. - -Wednesday, the 25th day of February, the king, after hearing mass -in the church of the Annonciada went to dine with the lord de -Montpensier, and thence, accompanied by his lords, repaired to the -citadel to examine how it had been battered, and to consult on the -best means of conquering the Castel Nuovo. The next day the garrison -demanded a parley, on which the artillery ceased firing,--and the lord -Angilbert of Cleves, the lord of Ligny, the bailiff of Dijon, and the -great chamberlain to the queen advanced to confer with them. The first -demand of the garrison was, that the king would grant them a truce for -twenty-four hours, which was cheerfully acceded to: the next, that -they might, on the morrow, march away with arms and baggage, which was -refused. - -On the twenty-four hours being expired, the artillery played more -fiercely than before,--and it was a pitiful sight to view the ruins of -this Castel Nuovo, which was exceedingly strong. The besieged fired -a piece of artillery against the church of the Franciscans of the -observantine order, which broke through the roof, but did not the least -mischief to crowds of persons, of both sexes, then in the church. The -incessant firing of the batteries lasted from Thursday to the Monday -following,--and there were so many breaches, for the king was there -in person, that the garrison again demanded a cessation of arms for -another parley. The lord Angilbert of Cleves and the bailiff of Dijon, -who spoke German, met the deputies from the castle. They demanded -permission to march away in safety with their baggage, to receive -three months pay to serve the king, if it should be agreeable to him; -otherwise, to receive passports for them to go whither-soever they -pleased. - -The cessation of arms was renewed from day to day, as the parley was -prolonged by the garrison until the 3d of March, in expectation of -being relieved by king Alphonso. But when they found all hopes of -relief vain, and that the batteries were about to recommence with more -violence than ever, they were forced to abandon themselves to the mercy -of the king, into whose hands they surrendered themselves. He allowed -them to keep their baggage; but all artillery, stores, and provisions, -were to remain in the castle, which he immediately re-garrisoned with -his troops, and with able captains, for its defence. - -During the king's stay at that pleasant place Poggio-Réalé, the -daughter of the duchess of Melfy[1], in company with her mother, came -thither, mounted on a superb courser of La Puglia, and throwing the -bridle on his neck, made him gallop four or five long courses; after -which she made him curvet and bound, as well as the most excellent -rider could have done, which pleased the king very much,--and he made -her a handsome present. - -Monday, the 4th of March, the king had the Castel del Ovo besieged, -and strongly battered on the land side; the others were surrounded by -the sea. This day, the king heard mass at the carthusian convent, and -dined with the lord of Clerieux[2]: he afterwards visited the siege -of the Castel del Ovo, of which the artillery had already destroyed -great part,--for the canoniers had performed their duty wonderfully -well, insomuch that about five o'clock in the afternoon the garrison -demanded a parley. The king being there in person, consented to it, and -sent thither the lords de Foix and de Miolan, who having heard their -proposals, carried them to the king while at supper. - -Thursday, the 5th of March, the king again returned to the siege, -after his dinner; and while he was in the trenches with his artillery, -the prince of Tarentum waited on him. The lord de Guise, the lord -de Ligny, the master of the household Brillac, had advanced to meet -the prince, and remained as hostages for his safe return after the -conference. The king and prince were both sumptuously dressed, and -conversed by themselves for some time, in a garden adjoining to the -park of artillery, to all appearance with great politeness. When the -conversation was ended, the king called to him the lord de Montpensier, -the lord de Foix, the lord de la Trimouille, the lord de Miolan, -the mareschal de Gie, and several others, with whom he talked for a -considerable time, surrounded by his guards. When it was over, the -prince took leave of the king, and returned to his galley, which was -anchored off the shore, attended by many of the french lords, according -to the king's orders. On his arrival at the shore, he took leave of -these lords, commending himself to the good graces of their king; and -when he had embarked in his galley they went back to relate to the king -all that had passed, and his praises of the reception he had had. On -this day the artillery did not play on either side. - -Friday, the 6th of March, the king, having heard mass, went to dine -with the lord de Clerieux,--and this day many of the garrison (among -whom were several of the wounded) left the Castel del Ovo. The -Spaniards went to the prince of Tarentum, and the Germans surrendered -themselves to the king, having passports for the purpose. The lord de -Cressol, sir Gabriel de Montfaucon, by the king's command, entered the -castle with a body of men under arms, and archers, to take charge of -it, and the numberless stores within it. - -Saturday, the 7th of March, the king went to examine the Castel del -Ovo, and then departed to lay siege to the opposite castle. Towards -evening, the prince of Tarentum paid another visit to the king, near -to the park of artillery,--and the lords de Guise and de Ligny were -hostages for his safe return. This conference was short, for it was -late; and when the prince returned to his galley the above lords -rejoined the king. It is worthy of remark, that on this day the prince -of Salernum, who had been, five years a fugitive from Naples, through -fear of king Alphonso, returned thither, and recovered a young son who -had been, by Alphonso, confined in prison,--for the cardinal of San -Pietro ad vincula had paid a very large sum for his ransom. - -On Sunday, the 8th of March, the king having heard mass, and dined, -went to amuse himself at the siege, and sent the governor of Paris, -and the esquire Galiot, to summon the garrison to surrender, otherwise -he would shortly batter the walls about their ears. They refused to -comply; and, in consequence, the batteries were played with such effect -that, on the Thursday following, the 12th, they knew not where to -shelter themselves,--and the governor was constrained to come from -the castle to speak with the king, then in the trenches. The governor, -bareheaded and on his knees, besought the king, with uplifted hands, to -grant a truce until the morrow, and to receive the garrison mercifully, -which was granted. The governor was a handsome, tall figure, with white -hairs; and, on having this answer, he returned by sea to the castle, -accompanied by the prince of Salernum and the mareschal de Gie, to -parley with the garrison in the castle. Shortly after, the captains -Claude de Rabaudanges and the lord de la Vernade were appointed -governors of this castle,--and nothing was taken out of it. - -The king, on the following sunday, after hearing mass, returned to the -castle of Capua, and remained some days, to receive the homages of the -princes and princesses of the realm, together with those of the nobles -and inhabitants as well of Naples as of the Terra di Lavora, Calabria, -La Puglia, and of other parts subjected to the crown of Naples. He had -there established his chancery, and courts of justice and finance, -with presidents like as in France. The president Guennay was the -chancellor, having the king's secretaries under him, with great and -smaller seals for all requisite acts. He ordered money to be coined of -gold and silver, and other metal; such as crowns, ducats, and various -pieces, both double and single, having the arms of France impressed on -one side, and on the reverse the arms of Sicily, quartered with the -small crosses of Jerusalem. - -The king now appointed many new officers for the city of Naples, and -in other towns,--namely, judges, masters of the mint, and of various -descriptions. During this interval, he visited the different churches -in Naples, and every thing worth seeing there and in its neighbourhood. -While thus employed, he had many very fine entertainments given him by -the nobility in Naples, and others,--but it would be tiresome to detail -them all. - -News arrived on the Wednesday, that Gaieta was taken by the french -troops: in consequence of which, the king sent the seneschal of -Beaucaire on the morrow to take the government of it. During the -month of April, the king inspected his artillery, and that which had -been found in the castles of Naples: the greater part of the last was -transported to France. The lord d'Aubigny left Naples this month for -Calabria, accompanied by his men at arms and a large body of Germans. -The 15th of April, the king, after hearing mass in the church of the -Annonciada, was confessed, and then touched and cured great numbers -that were afflicted with the evil,--a disorder that abounded much all -over Italy,--when the spectators were greatly edified at the powers of -such an extraordinary gift. This day the lord Virgilio Orsini and the -count of Petilano waited on the king for the first time since they had -been made prisoners. - -The next day, which was Maunday-Thursday, the 16th of April, the king -heard divine service in the church of St John, a handsome building, -and attended (as if in France) on thirteen poor persons, who were -washed and waited on at dinner, and presented with thirteen crowns. -The sermon was preached on that and the two following days by master -Pinelli, a doctor of divinity in the university of Paris. - -On Easter-day, the 19th of April, the king was confessed in the church -of St Peter, adjoining to his lodgings, and then touched for the evil a -second time; after which he heard mass in the church of St John, and in -the evening a sermon by doctor Pinelli.--Wednesday, the 22d, the king -went to see the tiltings, the lists for which had been erected near -to a church founded by the Anjou-race of kings of Sicily, where were -many of the nobility and ladies of Italy. These justings lasted from -Wednesday until the first of May: the holders of them were Châtillon -and Bourdillon, and the assailants were very numerous,--and excellent -deeds of arms were done on each side. - -On Sunday, being the feast of St Januarius, the king heard mass in the -cathedral or church of St Januarius, where many cardinals, bishops, -and prelates attended. The head of St Januarius was publicly displayed -to the king, and some of his blood in a glass bottle: it was congealed -like a stone, as the king proved by touching it with a small rod of -silver; but no sooner was it placed near to the head than it began -instantly to melt and become liquid, to the astonishment of many who -viewed this miracle. - -The prelates of the church said, that by means of this miraculous head -and blood of St Januarius, they were made acquainted with the success -of their petitions to God; for when their prayers had been propitious, -the blood became liquid,--but when otherwise, it remained hard. They -were likewise by this means informed as to the dispositions of their -prince, and whether he was to reign over them or not, which seemed very -extraordinary. - -On Monday, the 4th of May, the king sent Jean du Bois, Fontaines, and -the master of the household de Bresse, to make an inventory of all the -stores, and other effects, in the Castel del Ovo,--for there appeared -to be such quantities of provision, and of other things, that the -value seemed inestimable. During this time, the king visited several -places in the neighbourhood of Naples; such as the grotto which Virgil -had pierced with such subtile art through a high mountain on the -seashore of Naples, which is a wonderful thing, as there is no other -road but through this subterraneous passage, as all who have seen it -can testify. A little further on is the Solfaterra, where sulphur is -made,--and there are natural fires beneath the surface that are always -burning: the king saw them make sulphur. There are, likewise near, -many springs of hot water as well as of cold; and in a valley of this -mountain is a hole through which comes such an impetuous wind that it -supports in the air stones, and pieces of wood, that are thrown into -it,--and it is said that the heat is very great within this hole. The -king visited another remarkable spot where alum is made, and saw the -whole process. Near to this last place is a cavern having a deadly -quality; for whatever is thrown in perishes instantly, as was proved -before the king on an ass and cat, which, on being thrown in, were -suddenly killed[3]. The king, having seen all that was most curious, -returned to Naples for the night. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 1: Melfy. Q. Amelfi?] - -[Footnote 2: Clerieux. William of Poitiers, lord of Clerieux, governor -of Paris.] - -[Footnote 3: This must be the Grotto del Cane, not far from the -Solfaterra. Although small animals perish, yet I doubt whether an ass -could be thrown in, or would be so suddenly killed.] - - - - -CHAP. II. - - KING CHARLES MAKES HIS PUBLIC ENTRY INTO NAPLES, AS KING OF THAT - COUNTRY AND MONARCH OF ALL ITALY. - - -Tuesday, the 12th of May, the king, having heard mass in the church of -the Annonciada, left Naples after dinner for Poggio-Réalé,--where all -the princes and nobles of France and Italy were assembled, to accompany -him in his public entry into Naples, as king of France, Sicily, and -Jerusalem. He was dressed in royal robes, and made a most splendid and -triumphant entry, and thenceforward was called Charles Cæsar Augustus. -In his right hand was the globe, and his sceptre in the left,--and his -mantle was of fine scarlet trimmed with ermine, having a deep fall-down -collar, ornamented with ermines' tails also, with a brilliant crown on -his head. The horse he rode was as grandly caparisoned as possible, -to suit his state: and over his head was borne a splendid canopy by -the highest nobility of Naples, who were surrounded by the king's -valets richly dressed in cloth of gold: the provost of the household -with his archers on foot attended on him on each side. The seneschal -of Beaucaire represented the constable of Naples,--and the lord de -Montpensier preceded him, handsomely mounted, and dressed as viceroy -and lieutenant-general of Naples. - -The prince of Salernum was present, together with the great lords of -France, of the blood royal, and knights-companions of the king's order; -such as, the lord de Bresse, the lord de Foix, the lord de Luxembourg, -the lord de Vendôme, and others without number, all dressed in mantles -like to what the king wore. In short, the entry was most magnificent; -and the nobility of Naples, with their ladies, presented to the king -their children of ten, twelve, and fifteen years of age, requesting of -him to make them knights, which he did with his own hand,--and it was a -splendid spectacle. - -The prelates and clergy came out to meet him in the richest copes, -bearing relics, and conducted him to the cathedral, where on the high -altar were displayed, as before, the head and blood of St Januarius. In -front of the altar, the king swore to protect his new subjects, and to -preserve them in their liberties and privileges, which gave universal -satisfaction,--and great rejoicings were made on this occasion, and -also for his happy arrival, and the great good he had promised them. - -The king was, after this, conducted to his palace, where, during -several days, he received embassies from different parts of his -kingdom; such as Calabria, La Puglia, L'Abruzzo, to do homage, and to -inquire respecting the manner in which they were to be governed by -a viceroy when the king should be absent, as was natural for them. -On Monday, the 18th of May, the king ordered a grand supper to be -prepared at the Castel Nuovo, where he gave a sumptuous banquet, to -his princes and nobles, seated at two tables, in the great hall of -the castle, to which was an ascent by several stone steps. The grand -seneschal of Naples served the whole of the supper, superbly mounted, -and clothed in white, with abundance of trumpets and clarions sounding. -After supper, the king received the homage of all the lords, and then -returned to sleep at his palace. - - - - -CHAP. III. - - KING CHARLES MAKES DISPOSITIONS TO RETURN TO FRANCE,--AND TAKES LEAVE - OF HIS SUBJECTS IN NAPLES. - - -Wednesday, the 20th of May, the king, having heard mass with great -solemnity at the church of the Annonciada, dined at the palace; after -which, the nobility of Naples waited on him to take leave. They were -assembled in the great hall, where the king received them graciously, -and kindly bade them adieu! at the same time, he presented to them the -lord de Montpensier, as their viceroy and governor during his absence. -When this was done, the king departed from Naples, attended by a -gallant company of lords and gentlemen, men at arms, Swiss and Germans, -and slept that night at Aversa, on his return to France. - - - - -CHAP. IV. - - KING CHARLES RETURNS, FROM NAPLES TO FRANCE. - - -The king, as I have said, left Naples on the 20th of May, and halted -at Aversa. On the 21st, he marched from Aversa to Capua. On the -morrow, he dined and slept at the bishop's palace in Sezza[4]; and -on the Saturday, as he was about to enter Gaieta to refresh himself, -the castle fell down and obstructed the road, so that he returned to -Sezza,--but on the Sunday, when the damages had been repaired, he -proceeded and lay at Monte Cassino. Thence he passed to Ponte-corvo, -to Cyprienne, and to Fiorentino, a small city, then under an interdict -from pope Alexander, because the inhabitants had murdered and cut off -the arms of their bishop, who was a Spaniard, for having been obstinate -in supporting king Alphonso against the king of France. This latter -would not have been able to have heard mass that day, if he had not -before had full powers given him to order the celebration of the mass -in all places, according to his good pleasure. - -On Friday, the 29th, the king advanced for the night to Valmontone, -wherein were many who hated the French, because they had destroyed and -burnt Monte-Fortino: nevertheless, he proceeded to Marina the next day, -and halted there till Sunday. - -On Monday the first of June, the king re-entered Rome, on his return -to France, and was lodged in the palace of the cardinal de St Clement, -near to St Peter's. He was grandly accompanied by his nobles, gentlemen -pensioners, men at arms, cross-bowmen, Swiss and Germans; and because -pope Alexander was absent[5], he posted his men in different parts of -the town, to check any insolence of the Romans. Having done this, he -went to St Peter's, to return his thanksgivings to God. On Wednesday, -he left Rome, dined at Isola, and lay at Campanolle. Friday he -advanced to Ronciglione, and the same day entered Viterbo with his -whole army, where he was as well received as before. He remained in -Viterbo until Whitsunday was passed, to perform his devotions, and -visit the body of St Rosa. - -On the 8th of June, the king supped and lay in the town of Monte -Fiascone, celebrated for its muscadine wines,--and thence, continuing -his march through La Paille and other places, arrived at Sienna, the -inhabitants of which came out to welcome him, magnificently dressed, -and with the same ceremonies as at the first of his coming thither. - -The king marched from Sienna on the 17th of June for Poggiobondi, -where he lay, and staid the following morning, on account of its -being the feast of the holy sacrament, and attended the procession to -high mass with great devotion. After dinner he advanced to Château -Florentin,--and on the morrow he dined at Campane, near to Florence; -but he did not enter Florence on his return, for, under pretence of -being in the french interest, the town of Pont-Velle had been taken. - -Saturday, the 20th of June, the king entered Pisa, where he was -received with every honour and submission. He staid there two days, -and on the Tuesday following dined at Pommart, and slept at Lucca, -where, in return for his handsome reception, he took the town under -his protection. He marched through Pietra Santa, and arrived, on the -Saturday, at Sarsaigne[6], where he had intelligence of the junction -of the duke of Milan with the Venetians. For this reason, he would not -sleep at Villa Franca, but encamped his army on the other side of the -river, where he supped, and waited for the arrival of his artillery, -and the rear of his army. - -The king left his camp, at Villa Franca, on the 30th of June, to hear -mass at a large monastery near to Pontremoli; for the Germans had burnt -that town, in revenge for the murders of some of their countrymen by -the inhabitants, on their march to Naples. After dinner, the king -encamped at the foot of the Appenines, and there remained until his -artillery had passed the mountains. The lord de la Trimouille and Jean -de la Grange were charged with this business,--and although there -were plenty of hands they had great difficulties, on account of the -rocks. On the 3d of July, and the following day, the king crossed the -Appenines, and passed through Verceil and Cassano, and encamped his -army near to Borgo de Taro, where he lay, under the security of strong -guards. Sunday, the 5th of July, the king heard mass in his camp, -and dined at Foronuovo[7], where he formed his plan for the order of -battle, with a main body, a van and reserve, and having the usual -guards established. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 4: Sezza,--29 miles NNW. of Naples.] - -[Footnote 5: The pope had fled to Orvieto, conscious of having deceived -the king, and fearful of consequences.] - -[Footnote 6: Sarsaigne.

V. - - THE BATTLE OF FORONUOVO, WHERE THE KING OF FRANCE GAINS A COMPLETE - VICTORY OVER THE CONFEDERATED PRINCES OF ITALY. - - -On Monday the 6th of July, in the year 1495, the french army was -encamped adjoining to the valley of Taro, about two miles from -Foronuovo, and four from Parma. Thence marched that gallant prince, -Charles VIII. of the name, king of France, accompanied by those valiant -captains before mentioned, and about eight or nine thousand courageous -men at arms, to meet from fifty to sixty thousand Lombards, Venetians, -Estradiots[8], and others, his enemies. The marquis of Mantua was -commander of the Venetians: count Galeas Sforza was the representative -of his brother, Ludovico duke of Milan, and the lord of Ferrara -commanded the rest of the traitors, in company with other captains. - -The king was armed from head to foot in a manner becoming so great -a prince. Over his armour he wore a jacket, with short sleeves, of -a white and violet colour, besprinkled with crosses of Jerusalem. -His helmet was magnificently ornamented with feathers,--and he was -accoutred like a good man at arms, with sword, dagger, spear and -battle-axe. He was mounted on a powerful black horse, called Savoy, -whose caparison was of the same colours with the king's jacket, and -besprinkled with similar small crosses. The king was surrounded by very -able and trusty advisers to direct him, having under them about two -thousand men, who afterwards gave good proofs of their valour. - -When the french army had been properly arranged, and the artillery -was ready, they began to advance toward the enemy in such wise as the -ground served them. The Italians not knowing in what division of the -army the king had posted himself, sent a herald, under pretence of -asking something from him,--and the herald, on his return, told them -the manner in which the king was accoutred. They now began to move, -and taking advantage of a favourable situation, discharged a heavy -piece of artillery at the van of the french, which wounded and killed -several, although it did not break their ranks, nor cause any great -confusion. A sharp cannonading followed; but the king's artillery -did great mischief to the enemy, and killed one of their principal -cannoniers, as was known from a trumpeter that was soon after made -prisoner. The king's artillery was so well served that the Italians -were forced to retreat, having noticed the excellent order in which the -French were formed. - -It was wonderful to observe the cool and determined valour of the -gallant king, both in actions, and in speeches to those about his -person: 'How say you, my lords and friends? Are you not resolved to -serve me well to-day? and will you not live and die with me?' Then -having heard their answers, he continued, 'Be of good courage, and -not afraid; for although they be ten times our number,--which is the -case, as I know for certain,--yet we have justice on our side, for -which I put my confidence in God, that he will be pleased to give us -the victory over our enemies. I have also hopes that he will fight -this day on our side, and that, through his gracious favour, we shall -again triumph, as we have done throughout the whole of this expedition, -and return to France with honour to ourselves, through his merciful -kindness.' Such, or nearly similar, were the words with which this -valorous king consoled and encouraged all around him. - -The enemy were much surprised at the good order of the French; and -to endeavour to break it, they sent a detachment of Estradiots, and -some Albanians, across a hill, to fall on the baggage. Those who had -the guard of it had been very negligent in not keeping themselves -in readiness to resist an attack, by reason of some dispute among -themselves, for which they suffered; but it was not much, as shall be -told hereafter,--and the army remained unbroken. - -The Italians, seeing this, sent a herald to the king to demand a truce. -The king replied,--'If they wish for a truce, let them meet me between -the two armies.' But he afterward sent to them, to say, that if they -would, through friendship, allow him and his army a free passage to -France, it was all he wanted, otherwise he would force his passage in -spite of them. - -The Lombards and Venetians, hearing this message from the king's -herald, detained him, and resolved instantly to charge the French, -like madmen. They were particularly desirous to attack the division -where the king was, to put him to death,--but God was that day his -Protector. The advanced guard, perceiving the enemy thus hastily -marching, informed the king of their gaining the woods and bushes; -on which he crossed the bed of the Taro, and each army was in sight -of the other. In fact, the Italians were handsomely equipped and -mounted, and advanced with the appearance of a determined courage, as -they were far superior in numbers to the French. Their best men were -placed in front,--and the first onset was very severe on both sides. -As they had been informed by their herald how the king was dressed, -their chief attack was made on his division, and with such success -that they advanced to his person; but he displayed great valour, and -was so heartily seconded by those near him that the enemies were -completely repulsed, with immense slaughter; even the boldest among -them attributed their highest honour to him who could fly the fastest; -for when they saw the day was lost, the best piece of all their armour -was the point of their spurs. - -Only one man of rank was made prisoner on the side of the French, -namely, Matthew bastard of Bourbon, who had most valiantly defended -the king, and he was taken when pursuing the enemy up to their lines. -Not more than nine or ten french gentlemen were killed, although -their enemies were ten to one against them, the greater part of whom -saved themselves by flight. This proves, beyond a doubt, that Divine -Providence assisted the French, and gave them the victory over their -disloyal enemies, who were conquered in so very short a space of time. -The king remained the whole of the day armed and on horseback, and -until the whole of his army had retired within their camp. Thither -came ambassadors to him from the Italians, to demand the prisoners; but -they were answered, that they should not be restored,--which astonished -them greatly, as they feared that some of their first nobility had been -either killed or made prisoners. - -The king and his nobles, in sign of triumph and victory, supped and -lay on the field of battle,--where they ate and drank what they could -find, and as it pleased God, to whom they gave their most humble -thanksgivings and praises for their success, as indeed they were -bounden to do. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 8: Estradiots,--a sort of light horse, or a militia.] - - - - -CHAP. VI. - - THE KING DECAMPS FROM FORONUOVO, TO RETURN TO FRANCE. - - -On the morrow of the battle of Foronuovo, the 7th of July, the king, -after hearing early mass, decamped from before Foronuovo, and posted -his army on an elevated situation called Magdelan, about half a -french league from his late camp, where he remained the whole day. -The commanders of the artillery made such diligence in bringing up -the cannon that they were placed round the king, as was usual in such -cases. The king marched away, on the Wednesday, with his army and -artillery, and repassed several towns wherein he had halted on his -advance to Naples, notwithstanding the attempts of the enemy to prevent -it. He came at length to Novara, and delivered the duke of Orleans, who -had been shut up in that town, with a party of his men, by the traitor -Ludovico of Milan. Thence the king proceeded to Asti and to Vercelli, -where the duke of Orleans came to meet him. The king received him with -much friendship, and they supped together. - -On Friday, the 2d of October in this year, the lord de Vendôme died -in the town of Vercelli. His death was much lamented by the king -and his nobles, for he was a notable prince. The following Tuesday, -the king had a funeral service performed with much solemnity in -the cathedral-church dedicated to St Eusebius, where great grief -was manifested by all the assistants; and afterward his body was -transported to France, to be interred among his ancestors. - -On Wednesday, the 7th of October, the bishop of Sion arrived at -Vercelli, with a body of Swiss, horse and foot, and others from the -german allies of the king, for his better security. The king thanked -the bishop for his friendship, and grandly feasted him and the troops -he had brought. - -The next day, ambassadors came to the king from Ludovico of Milan and -the Venetians, and earnestly demanded a treaty, having witnessed the -strength of the king, and the enterprising courage of his troops,--when -a treaty was agreed to, on much better terms than they deserved. - -On Saturday, the 10th of October, the king heard mass in the church -of the Cordeliers in Vercelli, adjoining his lodgings; and after his -dinner, he proceeded to Trino, where he halted until the 15th of -October, when he went to Crescentino, and from this place, by many -days march, arrived at Grenoble, passing through the following towns; -Sillans, Sessia[9], Turin, Quiers, Rivoli, Suza, Briançon, Nôtre -Dame d'Embrun, Savines, Saint Eusebe, La Meure[10], and Tault near to -Grenoble. He arrived at Grenoble about vespers, on the 27th of October; -and all ranks of people went out in procession, and made another public -entry for him on his return from the campaign of Italy. - -The king, being unwell, remained in Grenoble until the 3d of -November, when he set out for Lyon, passing through the towns of St -Rambert, where he staid some days, Sillans, La Côte St André, and -Chatonay,--from which last place he advanced nearer to Lyon, where he -slept. - -On Saturday, the 7th of November, having dined at Venisseu, he -proceeded to Lyon, whence all the churchmen came out in grand -procession, dressed in their robes, and bearing relics, to meet and -welcome him on his return from Italy. He made a public entry into Lyon, -as king of Jerusalem, Naples, and Sicily, attended by all the municipal -officers, and persons of rank in that town, handsomely dressed. He -was conducted triumphantly through the streets, accompanied by the -nobles and captains, who were looked at with pleasure in consequence -of the noble victory they had gained over such superior numbers. The -streets and squares were hung with tapestries: bonfires and mysteries -were exhibited in all the open spaces through which the king passed, -in his way to the archbishop's palace, that had been prepared for his -lodgings. Here the queen and the duchess of Bourbon his sister were -waiting, with many noble ladies and damsels, impatient to receive him; -and indeed he was deserving of such eagerness. - -The king held most sumptuous justs at three different places in Lyon: -at La Grenette in front of the convent of Cordeliers, in the Juerie, -and before the palace: at all of them, he was foremost to offer -himself, and performed many gallant feats with lance and sword, on -horseback and on foot, as did several others of the french lords. In -memory of these justs, three stone columns were erected,--and to this -day there exist the latin verses that were inscribed on them, for king -Charles was the principal tenant of the lists. - -Prior to the expedition to Naples, the king had the body of the -seraphic doctor, St Bonaventure, raised with great pomp from his tomb -in the church of the Cordeliers,--and the duke and duchess of Bourbon -had his shrine afterward covered with plates of silver. The king, at -the same time, founded the convent of the Cordeliers of the Observance -in the city of Lyon, which is become a place of much devotion. - -When the king had staid some days in Lyon, he resolved to pursue his -journey, to pay his devotions at the abbey of St Denis, and return -thence to Amboise,--which he did, as shall be hereafter related. - -In the year 1496, the son of the king of Spain died,--and the same year -died the duke of Savoy, who was said, by those lately returned from -Italy, to have poisoned the whole country of Piedmont. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 9: Sessia. Q. Borgo de Sessia?] - -[Footnote 10: La Meure. Q. La Meyrie? in the election of Grenoble.] - - - - -CHAP. VII. - - THE KING OF FRANCE GOES TO ST DENIS.--HE RETURNS TO AMBOISE, AND THERE - SUDDENLY DIES, OF A FIT OF APOPLEXY. - - -When king Charles had made some stay in Lyon, and had witnessed the -tilts and tournaments that had been performed at Moulins, in the -Bourbonnois, he proceeded to the abbey of St Denis, to accomplish the -vow of pilgrimage he had made, and to offer up his thanksgivings to God -for the brilliant victories he had obtained over his enemies, and for -the successful issue of his expedition to Naples. He went likewise to -St Denis, to replace the blessed bodies of the holy martyrs, who repose -there, that had been taken down from their niches when the king set out -on his italian expedition. - -It is an ancient and praiseworthy custom, that when the most Christian -kings of France undertake any foreign expedition in person, they -supplicate the aid and intercession of the glorious martyr St Denis, -and his companions Saint Rusticus and Saint Eleutherus. The shrines of -these saints are, in consequence, taken down from their niches on the -king's quitting his kingdom, and deposited in a private part of the -church. These holy bodies, thus deposited, cannot be replaced in their -former situations until the king shall return to St Denis from his -foreign expedition, whether it had been for conquest or pleasure. - -King Charles, therefore, having been victorious throughout Italy, -followed the pious custom of his ancestors the kings of France. He -made a devout pilgrimage, to St Denis,--and the shrines of the martyrs -were, by him, replaced in their several niches, in the presence of -the great barons of France. The king would neither pass nor repass -through Paris on this pilgrimage, for reasons that moved him so to do, -but which I omit, to avoid prolixity. For this cause, when he left St -Denis, he took his road through St Antoine des Champs, thence over Le -Pont-de-Chalenton[11], and through Beauce, strait to the castle of -Amboise, where he found the queen and many lords and ladies of his -noble blood. He was received there by the inhabitants with the utmost -joy and honour. - -He had not been long at Amboise before he heard of the treachery of the -Neapolitans, and the death of the noble Gilbert lord of Montpensier. -The remaining captains, unable to support themselves in Naples after -his loss, returned home as well as they could; for those traitors of -Lombardy and Naples had suddenly risen in rebellion,--and they could -not possibly receive succours in time from France, had they attempted -to hold out against them, from the great distance. - -King Charles made preparations to avenge himself on them for their -treachery and infidelity,--but he had over-exerted himself in his late -expedition. His constitution, which was naturally feeble, became daily -worse: whence it happened, that as he was walking one day in a gallery -of the castle of Amboise with the queen, and amusing himself by looking -at some tennis-players, he was suddenly seized with a fit, and died -shortly after, in the twenty-eighth year of his age, and in the month -of April in the year 1497. May God have mercy on his soul! - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 11: Pont de Chalenton. Q. Charenton?] - - - - -CHAP. VIII. - - OF THE FUNERAL SERVICES PERFORMED FOR KING CHARLES VIII. OF FRANCE, AT - AMBOISE, PARIS, AND ST DENIS. - - -After the decease of king Charles VIII. whose soul may God pardon! a -very solemn funeral service was performed at Amboise, in the church of -St Florent, by the reverend cardinal the lord John Peraule, assisted -by many prelates, great lords, and other persons. There were immense -numbers of tapers and torches, and great alms were distributed. When -this service was over, the king's heart was carried for interment to -the church of Nôtre Dame de Clery, near to that of his late father. -The body, with the representation of his figure over it, was borne -in sorrowful pomp to the church of our Lady in the fields, in the -suburbs of Paris, where it was watched all night by some of his most -confidential friends. - -On the morrow morning, a grand procession came out of Paris, consisting -of all the clergy with their crosses, the four orders of mendicant -friars, the members of the court of parliament and of the other -courts of justice, the provosts, sheriffs, and inhabitants dressed -in mourning, to the church of our Lady in the Fields,--where were -waiting the great lords, officers, pages of honour, and others, to the -number of more than seven thousand persons, clad in mourning, with -hoods,--and, according to the usual ceremony, conducted the body to -the cathedral-church of our Lady in Paris. There were four hundred -torches, ornamented with escutcheons of three flowers de luce, carried -by four hundred poor men, dressed in black cloaks and hoods. A solemn -funeral service was performed in the church of Nôtre Dame; after which, -the body was carried with the same ceremonies through Paris to the -abbey of St Denis, where another service was solemnly performed for the -deceased, and presents of money given to all the assistants in making -the offerings at the mass, and great alms distributed to the poor. - -When the accustomed ceremonies had been finished, the body of king -Charles was interred in the sepulchre that had been prepared for him; -after which there was a grand dinner given to all the assistants in -honour of the late king, to whose soul may God graciously grant his -pardon! Amen. - - - - -CHAP. IX. - - OF KING LOUIS THE TWELFTH. - - -On the 23d of May, in the year 1498, Louis duke of Orleans, son to the -late duke Charles, was consecrated king of France, in the same manner -as his predecessors had been, in the cathedral of Rheims. He was the -twelfth who had borne the name of Louis, and the fifty-fifth king of -France. - -At this ceremony at Rheims were the twelve peers of France, or their -substitutes. For the duke of Burgundy appeared the duke of Alençon; for -the duke of Normandy, the duke of Lorraine; for the duke of Guienne, -the duke of Bourbon; for the earl of Flanders, the lord de Ravenstein; -for the earl of Champagne, the lord Angillebert of Cleves; for the earl -of Toulouse, the lord of Foix. Almost the whole of the french nobility -were present at the ceremony, which was solemnized in the usual mode to -that of former kings, by the cardinal of St Malo, archbishop of Rheims. - -Immediately after, the king made knights of his order of St Michael -the lord de Taillebourg, the lord des Pierres, lord de la Gruture, the -lord de Clerieux. He created also knights to the amount of four score; -among whom were the lord de Myolans, sir Claude de Mont-l'Or lord of -Château-neuf, de Salazuit, and others, too numerous to name. When these -things were done, the king ordered preparations for his entry into -Paris. - -On the 1st of July, the king was crowned in the church of St Denis, -after the manner of his predecessors, kings of France. On the morrow -he made a triumphant entry into Paris, and supped at the palace. When -all these solemnities were ended, each person withdrew to different -places, as ordered by the king. The first who made any opposition to -him was the lord de Vergy,--but the war was soon ended in Burgundy. - -The duke de Valentinois, said to be the son of pope Alexander VII.[12] -arrived at Lyon on the 18th of October, and made his public entry into -that city. The king had given him the county of Valentinois[13],--and -he was now come to France to conclude his marriage with the daughter of -the lord d'Albret. This duke was also a cardinal; but he had left that -dignity behind him, and appeared in secular clothes with the utmost -pomp and grandeur. - -The 2d and 3d of December, the wind was so high at Lyon that the -greatest alarm was caused by it; and the custodium, in which the hosts -were kept, on the high altar, in the church of the Cordeliers, was -burst open, owing to a broken pane in the window, and the sacred wafers -blown all about the church, to the great scandal of devout persons. It -happened somewhat before eight o'clock in the morning. - -This year, the king gave the princess Jane of France the duchy -of Berry; and, for the benefit of the realm, he espoused, by a -dispensation from pope Alexander VII. the widowed queen of France, Anne -of Brittany,[14] which was of the greatest public utility. - -In the course of this year 1499, the head of St Bonaventure was -deposited, in a very rich shrine of silver, in the church of the -Cordeliers at Lyon,--and a most solemn procession was made on the -occasion by the friars of the convent. On the 10th of June, in this -year, the king made his public entry into Lyon, which was very -magnificent. The streets were hung with tapestries,--and many fine -mysteries were represented in the squares. He was very anxious to -recover possession of the Milanese, and had sent thither a large -army, which, within fifteen days, reconquered Milan, on the 4th of -September. Duke Ludovico was in the town, and narrowly escaped being -taken, by quitting the place in disguise. The town of Alexandria della -Paglia[15], having shown much hatred to the French, was plundered, and -the greater part of it destroyed. - -When the king heard of the capture of Milan, he left Lyon, giving -orders to the lord de Bersac to destroy all the benches and awnings -before the doors in that city. He made his public entry into Milan, and -regulated its government. - -On the Friday before All-souls-day, in this year, the bridge of Nôtre -Dame, at Paris, fell down, which was a heavy loss; and the king sent -thither John de Doyac to superintend the immediate construction of -another. - -The year 1500 was a grand year of jubilee at Rome, celebrated by pope -Alexander VII. and attended by great numbers. There would have been -more, if, on the 3d of January, duke Ludovico Sforza had not, in -person, regained Milan, by the aid of a considerable body of Germans. -He won the town through the treason of the inhabitants, who surrendered -themselves to him; but the French fought valiantly, and kept possession -of the castle, whence they battered the town. - -Several Frenchmen, going to the jubilee at Rome, were murdered at the -inns on the road,--which being discovered, justice was done on the -perpetrators by burning their houses, with their inhabitants, to serve -for examples to all others. The duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, gave a -ducat to every one who brought him the head of a Frenchman. The count -Gayache and his wife now came to France; he was brother to the late -Galeas Visconti. - -On the 19th of March in this year, the queen of France made a second -public entry into Lyon, the streets being hung with tapestry, and -several beautiful mysteries represented. About eight days after, a -number of prisoners of war were brought before the king, at Lyon, for -having broken their oaths, at which the public greatly murmured. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 12: This was the notorious Cæsar Borgia,--a worthy son of so -worthy a father!] - -[Footnote 13: Valentinois,--a county on the Rhône: Valence is the -capital.] - -[Footnote 14: Her fate seems to have destined her to marry those who, -to obtain her, were forced to be divorced. Charles VIII. was betrothed -to Margaret of Flanders, and Louis XII. was married to the daughter of -Louis XI.] - -[Footnote 15: Alexandria della Paglia--is about 38 miles from Milan.] - - - - -CHAP. X. - - DUKE LUDOVICO SFORZA IS MADE PRISONER BEFORE NOVARA, AND CARRIED TO - FRANCE. - - -On Thursday before Palm-Sunday, the French in Italy acted with such -vigour that duke Ludovico fled from Novara with one hundred horse, -abandoning his army and artillery in that town. When the french -captains approached, a burgundian leader, called the captain of the -Yotiers, came out of Novara and surrendered himself and men to them. -The bailiff of Dijon went into Novara to practise with the Swiss in the -pay of the duke of Milan (about four thousand in all), who only asked -for payment of what was due to them. In regard to the Lansquenets, they -knew not how to act; for the Swiss in the king's service would not show -them any mercy, although their captains did all they could that matters -might be settled without effusion of blood. - -There were in Novara twenty thousand combatants; eight thousand -Lansquenets, four thousand Swiss, eight hundred Burgundians, and the -rest Lombards. In addition to these, a reinforcement of fifteen hundred -men were on their march to join them, and within a mile of Vercelli, -not including those in Vigeue.[16] - -Shortly after, Ludovico returned and marched his army out of Novara, -and encamped them near to the French; but God, knowing the usurpation -and wickedness of Ludovico, inspired the French with courage to defend -themselves, when attacked by him. Notwithstanding the duke of Milan -thought himself certain of destroying the French, the matter ended -without blood being spilt, and without a battle. It was said, that the -Lansquenets, refused to fight against their countrymen; and likewise, -that the duke had not paid his men their arrears, which made them -unwilling to serve him. On the other hand, the French were determined -on battle; but when they marched to charge the milanese army, it -surrendered to them without striking a blow. - -The duke of Milan, observing this, disguised himself in the frock of -a cordelier monk, and, by mixing with his men, thought to escape; -but the lord de Ligny and the lord de la Trimouille made such good -arrangements with their army, it was impossible; for they ordered -the whole of the milanese force to pass under the pikes, so that the -duke was discovered, made prisoner, and put under the guard of the -French in Novara, which place had thrown open its gates. The lord -Jean Jacques[17] was present at this conquest, for he had always -been faithful to the king. The duke had in his pay an astrologer or -necromancer, in whom he put great confidence; but his astrology was of -no avail to prevent him being made prisoner. - -According to agreements entered into with the milanese army, they were -allowed to depart in safety with their arms and baggage,--but the -duke and his artillery remained with the French. The lord-cardinal of -Amboise was then at Vercelli, and vowed the king under the protection -of our Lady des bonnes nouvelles. - -Intelligence of this success came to the king at Lyon, the vigil of -Palm-Sunday, which rejoiced him exceedingly; and bonfires were made in -the streets, for joy that the French had been victorious. Immediately -after, news was brought that the duke of Milan was a prisoner, which -caused the rejoicings to be repeated by all ranks of persons in Lyon. -The children of the duke were sent into Germany. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 16: Vigeue.

XI. - - THE CARDINAL ASCANIUS, BROTHER TO THE DUKE OF MILAN, IS TAKEN - PRISONER, AND CARRIED TO FRANCE. - - -The cardinal Ascanius, brother to the duke of Milan, was in that city -when he heard of the duke being a prisoner: he instantly departed -thence, with six hundred horse and some artillery, accompanied by the -higher nobility of Milan. He had also with him a considerable body of -Estradiots; and the commander of the whole was count John, brother to -the marquis of Mantua, who intended to march for the Bolognese,--but -it was said, that he was met by a venetian captain, of the name of -Soucin Bienson[18], with a body of troops, who attacked the cardinal. -At this unexpected onset, the cardinal cried out, 'Qui vive?' and was -answered, 'St Mark and France!' The battle lasted four hours,--and the -venetian captain was severely wounded, with many of his men,--but when -the cardinal, who was in armour, saw the fortune of the day was against -him, he fled to a castle called Rivoli, which was immediately besieged -by the Venetian. - -To make short of this matter,--the cardinal lost many of his men, and -the brother to the marquis of Mantua was ransomed. With this venetian -captain was another called Charles des Ursins. A milanese captain, of -the name of Badin, was made prisoner, with the abbot of Senselles, -and four viscounts,--and upwards of a hundred thousand ducats were -taken, without including the baggage. The cardinal, astonished to find -himself besieged in this castle without provision or money, entreated -the captain to ransom him, which he refused,--so that he surrendered -himself on the sole conditions of having his life spared, and of being -given up to the king of France. - -The captain would have carried him a prisoner to Venice,--but the -seneschal of Beaucaire, the lord de Montoison, and the chief justice -of Provence, who had gone thither to receive the cardinal, prevented -it. The Venetians also, knowing that the cardinal was an enemy to the -king, that he had been taken on the king's territories near Piacenza, -and wishing likewise to be on good terms with France, had the cardinal -delivered into the hands of the before-named persons. - -The inhabitants of Milan, on their duke and his brother the cardinal -being made prisoners, opened a negotiation, for the surrender of their -town, with the cardinal of Amboise, lieutenant for the king. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 18: Soucin Bienson. Q.] - - - - -CHAP. XII. - - THE INHABITANTS OF MILAN ARE BRIBED INTO SUBJECTION. - - -On the 17th of April, which was Good Friday, in this same year, -the inhabitants of Milan, acknowledging the great crimes they had -committed against the king of France, their duke, most humbly besought -the reverend father in God the lord George d'Amboise, cardinal-priest -of the apostolical see, lieutenant-general for the said king, that -he would be pleased (after having granted some small sums for their -relief, to assist them in paying their fine, and also to save them -from the pillage and destruction which the army was ready to inflict -on them) to come to the duke's palace in the city of Milan to receive -their submissions, which they were determined to make publicly in -acknowledgment of their misconduct, and to entreat the clemency of the -king, on payment of such a fine as their means would admit of. - -This reverend cardinal acceded to their request, and came to the palace -called La Court-vieille, whither arrived in procession all the nobles, -burghers, tradesmen and inhabitants, preceded by little children -dressed in white linen, and bareheaded, having a large crucifix, and -the great banner of our Lady, borne before them. - -The lord-cardinal being seated on the throne prepared for him in the -great court of this palace, and surrounded by many of the king's -counsellors and captains, master Michael Touse, doctor of laws, and -town-advocate, ascended a rostrum that had been there erected, and made -the following harangue: - -'Unworthy as I am to ascend this rostrum, my most reverend and most -illustrious lord-cardinal, I am very anxious to have it remembered, -and thus publicly to express the complete submission and devotion -my countrymen, the people of Milan, as well as myself, feel toward -our sovereign lord and duke, the most Christian king of France; -and although I know my own incapacity to express their wishes, -notwithstanding my earnest desire so to do, yet, as a good citizen, I -could not refuse their requests to undertake it,--and I will accomplish -it to the best of my abilities. - -'Among all the cities and towns of Italy, Milan, without doubt, must -be considered as the principal, when governed with justice by an -upright lord, as all good and loyal citizens have desired. Since God -the Creator, has been pleased to place them in the hands of the most -Christian king, their legitimate lord, they cannot wish for a better -nor a more powerful prince: their duty is to persevere in the fidelity -and loyalty which they have sworn to him when he received them with -such benignity and humanity. It may be said, that he had reintegrated -the citizens to their country, and their country to the founder; for -the French had founded and built the city of Milan,--and the country, -to this day, retains the name of Gallia Cisalpina. But, alas! we -have sadly displayed the instability of our tempers, and committed -the crimes of treason and rebellion without any reason for so doing; -for neither the king our lord nor the deputies he sent to govern us, -have done any things that ought to have displeased us, or make us -discontented. In regard to our lord himself, we have always found him -full of humanity, affection, and clemency; and in regard to the lord de -Luson, who had been appointed our chief justice, we cannot accuse him -of any improper acts,--for he ever received us kindly, and heard our -complaints attentively, doing justice to all parties, like as a good -father would to his children. - -'In like manner, the lord Jean Jacques, who has ruled us without -distinction of persons, or the smallest partiality, punishing rather -his own people than ours, just as those excellent Romans, Brutus and -Torquatus, put to death their children for the good of their country. -He also has afforded us all necessary support. The lord-bishop of Como -and others of the family of Trivulce have acted in a similar kind -manner to us. We feel the more beholden to the lord Jean Jacques, -because knowing, as he did, the wicked intentions of many of the chief -exciters to the late rebellion, he attempted to gain them over from -their intentions by gratuities and honours, rather than dip his hands -in the blood of his countrymen. He preferred also retiring into the -castle to destroying the town by fire and sword, as perhaps strict duty -would have forced him to,--and from thence he departed, to return with -so much the greater glory. The preservation of the town from ruin is -solely owing to his prudent conduct: a superior victory to any achieved -by arms, seeing that Ludovico Sforza and almost all the king's enemies -are become prisoners. The cardinal Ascanius and others attached to his -party were, by God's merciful providence, induced to leave the town, -when they might otherwise have injured it by obstinately holding out -against the troops of our legitimate lord. The inhabitants, therefore, -are greatly indebted to God and the king, who has kindly overlooked -their faults, and not punished them according to their deserts. - -'To check the fury of his victorious army, the king has been pleased to -send you, my lord cardinal, hither, with full powers to act according -to your discretion; and this you have done with such prudence that you -have saved the town to the king,--for which we, our children, and our -successors, shall be ever beholden to you. - -'We also thank my aforesaid lord the bishop of Como for his good -recommendations of us to you, and for the means he has taken for the -preservation of his country. - -'Since, most reverend father in God, you have been pleased, out of your -bounty and clemency, following the kind will of our lord the king, to -grant to us, the inhabitants of Milan, this public audience, they have -commissioned me to make, in their name, the following requests. - -'In the first place, that it may be your good pleasure, when you -shall return to the king, to recommend us most humbly to his good -graces,--and to assure his majesty that the people of Milan will never -again rise in rebellion to his power and authority. They somewhat -resemble St Peter, who, having denied God the Redeemer, had afterwards -such grief for his sin that he was more ardent and determined in his -service than ever, continually supplicating mercy for his crime. In -like manner, most reverend father in God, and in the name of the king -our lord, do I, on my bended knees, for myself, the nobles, burghers, -and the inhabitants of Milan, beseech you to pardon the rebellion -perpetrated by us, which was contrary to the usual custom of the -Milanese, celebrated for their fidelity and loyalty. - -'Secondly, most reverend father, in respect to the expenses the king -our lord has been put to in countermanding the troops sent hither to -punish us for our ill conduct, we have promised to pay the sum of -three hundred thousand crowns: fifty thousand on the 12th of this -month, fifty thousand on the 1st day of May, and the remaining two -hundred thousand at his pleasure. We beseech you to intercede for us -to his majesty, that he would be graciously inclined to remit payment -of the balance of the two hundred thousand crowns,--for it will be -impossible to raise so large a sum without totally ruining the town. -Its whole wealth consists in merchandize, and in cloths of silk and -woollen,--and should so large a sum be withdrawn from trade, all these -works must stop, to the utter ruin of the city and duchy of Milan, -which depends so much upon it. The duty of a king is to enrich and not -impoverish his subjects. - -'Thirdly, we most humbly supplicate, that you would dismiss all the men -at arms from the duchy as speedily as possible, that the fruits of the -coming harvest may be preserved for the use of our lord's subjects. - -'Fourthly, we beseech you, that all persons may be restored to the -offices they before enjoyed. - -'And, lastly, that since, out of your great mercy and wisdom, you -have been pleased to separate the principal instigators of the late -rebellion from the more peaceable inhabitants of the town,--and that, -through the mercy of God, the cardinal Ascanius and the chiefs of that -party are now, for the welfare of the country, detained prisoners,--we -beseech you to use your interest with the king our lord, that such -provisions be made to prevent them henceforth from troubling the city -and duchy, as they have lately done, and put us again in danger of -losing our lives and fortunes, whence we have been relieved by the -merciful bounty of the king our lord. - -'We assure you, most reverend father in God, and most noble lord, that -we are determined to remain faithful to our sovereign prince in body -and soul; and, by granting us our requests, you will never again hear -of any disturbances or factions in this town,--for the inhabitants -will, henceforward, be united in his service, as experience shall -prove. We have full confidence that your benignant goodness will do -every thing, in regard to us, becoming the race whence you descend, -which will be agreeable to God, and worthy to be engraved on marble, -as a perpetual memorial of your wisdom, and to the glory of your name: -all of which I and the people of Milan now assembled here, again on our -bended knees, beseech you to grant.' - -Master Michael having finished his harangue, the lord-cardinal of -Amboise consulted the marshal of Trivulce, the bishop of Luson[19], -chancellor of Milan, the lord de Neufchatel, and others of the king's -counsellors, and ordered master Michael Ris, doctor of civil and canon -law, and counsellor to the king in his court of parliament of Burgundy, -and in the senate of Milan, to make a reply, which he did in manner -following. - -'Misertus est Dominus super Ninevem civitatem; eo quod pænitentiam egit -in cinere et cilicio.' My lords and gentlemen of the Milanese, the -very reverend father in God and most noble cardinal here present, as -lieutenant general for the king in this duchy, has more attentively -listened to your humble propositions and requests than your demerits -deserved. That his bounty and mercy may be more manifest, he has -ordered me to lay before you your great and inexcusable rebellion, -which his excellency would willingly have done himself could he have -addressed you in your own language. I am, therefore, employed to do it -by his command. I must, therefore, remind you, that on the day when -you swore fidelity to the most Christian king, I then addressed you by -his orders, and exhorted you to remain firm in your loyalty to him, -whence you would derive great honour, and by acting contrary inevitable -evils and disgrace would follow. I am now commanded by the most noble -lord-cardinal, here present, to explain your great disloyalty and -infidelity, that the exceeding clemency and pity of the king, our lord, -may be the more apparent. - -'Your crimes and your demerits are so enormous, O Milanese! that no -punishments can be adequate to them,--and they are deserving of a -similar punishment from the king as the Romans inflicted upon the -Samiens, as related to us by historians: 'Ita ruinas urbis diruerunt ut -hodie Samus in ipsa Samo requiratur.' Or one equal to what Archila[20] -king of the Goths inflicted on the Romans, whose marks are now visible -on the walls and buildings of Rome. Or what Alexander did to the -Thebans. It may be seen in numerous histories, that for much smaller -crimes, Charles the great, king of France, and the emperor Frederick I. -punished most severely this city of Milan. - -'To make your ingratitude more public, you have allowed that the most -Christian king is your true and legitimate lord, to whom you owe love -and obedience, according to the laws of God and man; for the wise -regulation of the Spartans says, 'Populum in obsequia principum, -principes ad justitiam imperatorum infirmabit.' In addition to the most -Christian king being your natural and lawful lord, he has conferred -upon you numberless benefits: he came in person to deliver you from -slavery,--not out of a disorderly ambition to gain kingdoms, but -from the pity he felt for you as subjects of duke John Galeazzo, your -first duke, whose most excellent daughter, the princess Valentina, was -his grandmother. He recalled Justice to your country, which had been -banished thence. He secured to you your lives and properties, which -before no one could call his own. He allowed you the liberty to marry -your children as you should please, which before this could not be -done; for a father could not marry a daughter, nor a mother a sister, -but according to the will and appetite of the lord. Offices which were -temporary he made perpetual. He abolished all pillories, concussions, -and exactions. - -'Besides these and numberless other benefits that he showered upon you, -you were bounden by your oaths of allegiance to be faithful unto him: -nevertheless, many of you, even when taking these oaths, were plotting -to deceive him. All of you, ye Milanese! forgetful of the salvation -of your souls and honour, and regardless of the danger into which you -threw your wives, your children, and your town, have conspired against -your true lord in favour of a tyrant, quitting the first of kings in -Christendom for a mean fellow of low birth,--a most potent prince for -one as poor in courage as in wealth and friends. Had I the powers of -language to display the extent of such a crime, I should be incapable -to do it under two days; but your own consciences will make you more -sensible of it than I can,--and you may apply to yourselves what is -written, 'Populus dure cervicis,' when you committed that base act of -recalling your Ludovico in opposition to your true lord. - -'What was the consequence? Did he not instantly seize all the effects -of private persons, and not only their wealth but even the crosses, -chalices, and jewels from the churches? What was said of Cambyses, king -of Persia, may be said of him, 'Difficile enim erat ut parceret suis, -qui contempta religione grassatus etiam in Deos fuerat.' Although from -so great a crime many may attempt to exculpate themselves, yet I do -not see how they can well do so, for it would have been easy at first -to have resisted such treason: nor can one in Milan excuse himself -for the joyous reception given to Ludovico, as if he had been a god -descended from heaven on earth. The people of Milan assisted the lord -Ludovico with money and men. Feasts and entertainments were every where -displayed to welcome his arrival, and for his short-lived victories -when he gained Novara. - -'Observe now, O Milanese! how strongly the justice of God, the Creator, -has been made manifest, and the great power that it has pleased Him to -invest the king our lord with: for when you thought that you had done -every thing by gaining Novara, at that moment you lost the whole, and -your idol, the lord Ludovico, carried away a prisoner,--so that what -was said of the Persians may be applied to him, 'Servit alteri cui -nuper mediolanum serviebat.' - -'O Milanese! notwithstanding your enormous offences, the great fountain -of mercy of our good king has not been dried up by your ingratitude -to him: and the uncommon benignity of his lieutenant general, my lord -cardinal, has been fully shown to you, from his respect and reverence -to this day, on which it pleased our Lord to suffer an ignominious -death on the cross for our salvation. He, in the king's name, pardons -your lives, your honours, and your property, exhorting you, at the same -time, to be more careful, henceforward, not only to avoid committing -similar offences but to avoid even the being suspected of them: for -should you ever relapse again into rebellion, you will be punished -with such severity the remembrance thereof shall endure to the latest -ages of the world. By acting as loyal subjects towards your lord, your -town and country will be daily improved, and you will live happy and -contented; for it must be a great satisfaction to live under a true and -legitimate prince. - -'With regard to the requests you have made to my lord cardinal, you -will deliver them to him in writing, and he will return you such -answers as shall content you. It must, however, be understood, that -from this pardon all the principal actors and instigators of the late -rebellion are excepted.' - -When this harangue was ended, all the children passed the cardinal in -procession, crying out 'France, France! France and mercy!' - -On St George's day, the queen of France set out from Lyon, to go to St -Claude, with a very handsome company. Before she returned, she stood -godmother with the prince of Orange,--for the princess had, at that -time, been brought to bed of a son. - -On the 2d of May, the lord Ludovico was brought to Lyon. He wore a robe -of black camlet, after the fashion of Lombardy, and was mounted on a -small mule. The provost of the royal household, and the seneschal of -Lyon, went out to meet him, made him a prisoner in the king's name, and -confined him in the castle of Pierre-en-Cise. Great numbers of people -were collected in the streets to see him pass. The king was then in -Lyon. - -The 12th of May, the marriage of the lord de la Roche, a baron of -Brittany, was announced in Lyon, with the princess of Tarente, daughter -to don Frederic of Naples. On this occasion were many justs, and -other entertainments, at which were present the queen, her ladies and -damsels,--and the wife of count Galeazzo was with the queen; but the -marriage did not take place until the 18th of May, at the church of St -Croix, near to that of St John. Tournaments again were exhibited on the -Grenette, and gave great satisfaction[21]. - -The lord Ludovico was, by orders from the king and council transferred -from the castle of Pierre-en-Cise, on the 14th of May, to the castle of -Loches, near Bourges. On the 24th of the same month, the lord de Ligny -returned from Lombardy to Lyon, when the king sent out a large party to -meet and welcome him. - -The cardinal Ascanius Sforza was on the 17th of June, the vigil of -Corpus-Christi-day, brought prisoner to Lyon, and confined, where his -brother had before been, in the castle of Pierre-en-Cise; but he -afterwards found such favour with the king that he had all France for -his prison. - -The lord-cardinal of Amboise and the lord de la Trimouille arrived at -Lyon, the 21st of June, from Lombardy, and brought with them the lord -Jean Jacques de Trivulce and his lady to France. - -About the end of July, pope Alexander VII. was struck by lightning, at -Rome, and much hurt; but, recommending himself to God and our lady, -he was cured, and ordered a solemn procession, which he attended -in person, and granted a full absolution to all who assisted. This -happened, as said, on the vigil, or on the day preceding it, of the -feast of St Peter. The same day the king and queen of France left Lyon -for Troyes in Champagne, to meet an embassy from Germany that was -expected there. - -On St Anne's day, the 26th of July, the king of Yvetot[22] died at -Lyon: he was buried in the church of Sainte Croix, near to that of St -John. - -The 28th, on a Sunday Morning, the last arch but one of the bridge over -the Rhône, at Lyon, near to Bechevelain, fell down: the wall and the -other arch remained,--but it could not be crossed without great danger, -and by going along the top of the wall. - -This year, the Swiss made war on the king's territories,--on which -account his Swiss-guards returned home, but the war was soon put an end -to.--About St Simon and St Jude's day, M. de Bordeaux, archbishop of -Lyon, died, and was succeeded by François de Rohan, son to the marshal -de Gié. - -The king of France, about this period, sent a doctor of divinity -from Paris to La Vaupute[23], to convert the inhabitants from some -fantastical opinions they had imbibed,--but he failed of success. - -Near Christmas, the river Saone was frozen as high as Mâcon, which -prevented any corn and other victual coming to Lyon, and raised the -price of bread very high. On St Thomas's day, the Rhône suddenly rose -in the afternoon, and higher than was ever known in so short a time. - -In the year 1501, the bishop of Amiens, a native of Burgundy, died at a -place called Arbois[24], and was succeeded by the bishop of Nevers. - -A jubilee took place, this year, in France, for the support of a war -against the Turks,--and a tenth was raised, from all benefices, for the -same purpose.--The archduke Philip and his consort came, in the course -of the year, to Paris, and declared themselves friends to the king. -They went thence into Spain, where the archduchess was brought to bed -of a son. - -A large body of infantry, with great stores of salted provision, were -ordered to Naples; and the king and queen went to Lyon, to see these -troops march through that city. The wife of duke Réné of Lorraine -came to Sainte Claude, with her son, and thence proceeded to wait on -the king and queen at Lyon. Her son remained at the court, and had a -pension; and on the mother's returning to Lorraine, the king presented -her with a white palfrey, most richly caparisoned in crimson velvet, -with knotted cord-work in embroidery. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 19: Luson.

XIII. - - THE KING OF FRANCE SENDS TROOPS TO RECONQUER NAPLES, WHICH IN A SHORT - TIME IS WON,--AND FREDERICK, STYLING HIMSELF KING THEREOF, COMES TO - FRANCE. - - -The king was very anxious to recover his dominions in Naples, and, for -this purpose sent thither a considerable force by sea and land. The -king's lieutenant-general, the lord d'Aubigny, was so diligent, on -his arrival, that he soon won the town of Naples. Frederick, calling -himself king of Naples, was then in the town; for, after the decease -of the duke of Calabria, he claimed it as his inheritance. Seeing all -resistance vain, he consented to meet the king of France, to make -arrangements respecting his claim; for he was unwilling to remain the -king's enemy, seeing that it was impossible for him to resist. Some of -his children, however, were carried away secretly to the king of Spain. - -The king of France received the news of the capture of Naples, and of -Frederick, the 8th of August, when at Lyon, where great rejoicings, -with bonfires, and solemn processions, were made on the occasion, to -render thanks to the God of all victories. - -On the feast of our Lady, in September of this year, the convent -of the Celestins at Lyon took fire, and nearly the whole of it was -destroyed. The fire began in the chimney; but the convent was soon -afterwards rebuilt, handsomer than before. The same day, friar John -Tisserant, an Observantine, of whom mention has been before made, died. -On All-souls-day, don Frederic arrived at Lyon, from Naples, and was -conducted further into France. - - - - -CHAP. XIV. - - THE CARDINAL OF AMBOISE MAKES HIS PUBLIC ENTRY INTO LYON, AS LEGATE TO - FRANCE. - - -Sunday, the 7th of October, the lord-cardinal of Amboise made his -public entry into Lyon, having been appointed legate from the holy see -to France. His entry was very sumptuous and handsome: the streets hung -with rich tapestries, and several allegorical mysteries represented in -those streets he passed through. The populace were greatly rejoiced at -his arrival, as he had established a peace among the Christian princes, -which was proclaimed at Lyon on Saturday preceding Christmas, when -bonfires were made in all the squares. - -About this time, the lady Margaret[25] was married to the duke of -Savoy, and made her public entry into Geneva in the course of the month -of December. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 25: The lady Margaret--of Austria, daughter to the emperor -Maximilian, and widow to John son to Ferdinand the catholic king of -Spain.] - - - - -CHAP. XV. - -THE FRENCH, AFTER THE CAPTURE OF NAPLES, MAKE WAR ON THE TURKS. - - -The year 1502 was the jubilee for a croisade against the Turks. It -was, as said, celebrated throughout Christendom to excite every prince -to take up arms on the occasion. But there were divisions among them; -and all failed in their engagements excepting the king of France, who -showed himself deserving of his title of most Christian king. - -After the conquest of Naples, he ordered his troops to make war on -the Turks by sea and land,--for they, having declared war against the -Venetians, had landed troops near to Venice. The french army were eager -to advance to the conquest of Constantinople, under the command of -the lord Philip of Ravenstein; and they had undertaken the siege of -the town of Metelino, under a promise of pay, and of being victualled, -made by the Venetians to the king of France. They failed in the last -article, for the french army was five days without provision; and what -was worse, the Venetians allowed the Turks to march through part of -their territories, who fell on the French, killed numbers, and made -thirty-two prisoners,--for whose release the pope issued his pardons to -obtain the necessary sums, as is specified in the bull. By these means, -the french army was ruined; but had the promises made to the French -been kept, they would soon have conquered the greater part of Turkey. - -Good-Friday, this year, falling on the feast of our Lady in March, -pardons were fully granted at the church of our Lady at Puys, in -Auvergne, where such multitudes attended that a melancholy accident -happened, by the falling down of a wall from the crowd pressing against -it, which killed numbers, and wounded more. Several also perished from -the great pressure. - -This year, a marriage was concluded between the king of Hungary and -Anne of Candale, daughter to the lord of Candale of the house of Foix. -She soon after made her public entry into Lyon, where several splendid -mysteries were represented, and thence continued her route to Hungary, -where the marriage was consummated, and they had a fine family of -children. - -About a fortnight before St George's day, the prince of Orange died, -and was succeeded by his infant son. - -Not long after this, the king of France went to Lombardy, and made his -public entry into Genoa, the inhabitants having placed themselves under -his dominion. The town made him many rich gifts,--and having staid -there some time, he returned to France in September. About this period, -Réné bastard of Savoy was driven out of that country, and took refuge -with the king of France, to the great displeasure of the duke and -duchess of Savoy; for Réné had revealed divers machinations that were -going forward to the prejudice of the crown of France. Shortly, a suit -was instituted against the duchess, to recover some places which the -duke had given her, that belonged to Réné by purchase. - -While the king was in Dauphiny, the duke and duchess of Savoy visited -the queen at Lyon, but made no public entry: they staid only four or -six days, and went back to Savoy a little before the king's return. - -Shortly afterward, the general of the order of cordelier friars came to -France, to establish a reform, and to make them follow the regulations -of the Observantines,--for the king would have it so, as he knew them -to be too worldly inclined, and that it was better to have ten good -monks than two thousand vicious ones. - -On the vigil of St Martin's clay, the wife of don Frederic arrived in -France, with some of her children and attendants. - -In the year 1503, the picture of our Lady of the Cloister, which had -been in the cloister of the cordeliers at Lyon was removed into the -church, and placed in the chapel of St Francis. This painting was so -large that the wall was broken down to admit it into the chapel, where -it now is most richly decorated. - -About the beginning of Lent, the king's palace at Dijon was burnt down, -by the firing a culverin up the chimney to clean it; the king soon -afterwards rebuilt it with greater magnificence. - -The 21st of April, when the king was at Lyon, he made a general -abolition of a variety of tolls and imposts that had existed for -a hundred years, without any legal sanction,--with orders not to -re-establish them, under severe penalties. This was contained in -letters patent he granted to the merchants who trafficked on the Rhône -and Saone, and other navigable rivers falling into them, from the -town of Pontarlier, above Auxonne, to the sea,--and also to those who -trafficked by land through France, the Mâconnois, Lyonnois, Languedoc, -and Dauphiny. By these letters, all obstructions to the navigation, -such as wears, milldams, and the like, were ordered to be instantly -removed, excepting such as may have been particularly erected by the -king. - -The french army at Naples gained ground daily, and had nearly -conquered Sicily, so that all trembled before them. - - - - -CHAP. XVI. - - THE ARCHDUKE MAKES HIS ENTRY INTO LYON.--ANOTHER HERETIC. - - -The archduke Philip made his public entry into Lyon the 23d of March, -and it was very handsome. He came from Spain; but before he entered the -king's territories, he demanded that five or six of the princes of the -blood should be sent to his country, as hostages for his safety during -his stay in France. This was done, for the king had no evil intentions; -but the archduke had made the above demand imagining that he might be -somewhat inclined to be suspicious of him. - -The populace were rejoiced at his coming, because he was charged to -make peace between the kings of France and Spain, which he did; and it -was proclaimed while the king, queen, and their court were at Lyon, on -the 4th of April. The peace included, beside the kings of France and -Spain, the archduke, the king of the Romans and their allies. - -The archduke on leaving Lyon, went to Bourg en Bresse in Savoy, where -he met the duke, and his sister the duchess of Savoy. - -About the 13th of April, the lord John de Horne, bishop of Liege, -waited on the king at Lyon, on account of a quarrel that had taken -place between him and the lord de la Marche, which they had mutually -referred for the king's decision, and he made peace between them. - -The archduke had not been long at Bourg en Bresse before it was known -that the king of Spain had landed a large army at Naples, and had -instantly attacked the French unexpectedly,--for they understood that -they were at peace with Spain. Notwithstanding this, a severe conflict -took place,--and the duke of Nemours was killed treacherously. The -Spaniards conquered the town of Naples, in contradiction to the oath -their king had so lately made to observe the peace. It was said that -pope Alexander VII. had supplied the Spaniards with provision. The -lord d'Aubigny retired into Calabria with a few of his men; but had -the French been supported, they would have prevented the Spaniards -succeeding in their enterprise. It was likewise reported, that some of -the French had joined the Spaniards, having an understanding with the -king of Spain,--but this perhaps was discovered afterwards. The lord de -la Trimouille was, in consequence, sent to Naples as lieutenant-general -for the king; but he was seized with so grievous a malady on his road, -he was forced to return to France. - -In this year, an extraordinary event happened at Paris. A young -scholar, twenty-two years old, a native of Abbeville, whose parents -were of worth, and much respected, went on the feast of St Louis, -to the holy chapel in the palace, while mass was celebrating at an -altar on the right hand. When the priest was about to consecrate -the host, this scholar snatched it out of his hands, and ran away -with it into the court fronting the exchequer-chamber. Perceiving -that he was pursued, he tore the wafer into pieces, and flung them -on the pavement. When, taken, he was confined in the prison of the -Conciergerie,--but no exhortations could make him repent. Upon this -his parents were sent for, who were much grieved at his conduct, more -especially for his obstinacy and malice,--and the mother died in Paris -of grief. - -The father renounced his son for a heretic, and wanted to put him to -death with his own hands. When brought before the court of parliament, -he was asked of what religion he was; and replied, Of the religion -of nature. It was said that he had frequented the company of some -scholars from Spain, who had fled. A general procession was made to -the holy chapel, to offer up prayers to God that the scholar might -be converted,--and a sermon was preached, while he was present, by -an eminent doctor. The court of parliament finding him obstinate, -condemned him to be dragged from prison to the place where he had -thrown down the host; then to be put into a tumbril, and have his -wrist cut off, and carried to the pig-market to be burnt. He was -accompanied all the time by three doctors, who earnestly exhorted him -to repent,--namely, master John Standun, a Cordelier, and a Jacobin: -the first never left him until dead, notwithstanding he continued in -his obstinacy to the last. - -From the time this impiety had been committed, a canopy of cloth of -gold was supported over the spot where the host had fallen, with two -burning tapers beside it. The pavement was taken up, and carried to -the holy chapel, with such parts of the wafer as could be found, to be -preserved as relics, and the place repaved. - -Toward the end of August, in this year, pope Alexander VII. died. -The king was then at Mâcon, and immediately ordered the cardinal of -Amboise, the cardinal Ascanius Sforza, then a prisoner in France, the -cardinal of St George, with other cardinals, to repair to Rome, for the -election of a pope. - -About nine or ten o'clock of the Monday, before Michaelmas-day, the -whole arch of the bridge over the Rhône at Lyon fell down. - -The cardinal of Sienna, nephew to pope Pius II. was elected pope, and -took the name of Pius III., but did not live more than eight or ten -days after his exaltation. During that short space, he had already -shown how very much he was indisposed against the French. He was the -hundred and sixth pope. - -On Wednesday preceding St Luke's day, the lord Peter of Bourbon died, -while the king was at Mâcon: he was much bewailed, for he had ever been -true and loyal to the crown of France, and was an able counsellor. - -The 19th of October, died pope Pius III. at Rome, who, as I have said, -did not outlive his election more than eight or ten days,--and the -cardinals made another election. - -The French at Naples slew very many Spaniards,--and had they been -properly supported, they would have driven them thence, for the lord -d'Aubigny evinced much valour and prudence. - - - - -CHAP. XVII. - - THE CARDINAL OF ST PIETRO AD VINCULA ELECTED POPE. - - -The cardinal of St Pietro ad vincula, legate of Avignon, and by name -Francis de Savona[26], was elected the hundred and seventh pope of -Rome, and took the name of Julius II. He was nephew to the late pope, -Sixtus IV. and had accompanied king Charles of France at the conquest -of Naples. After his election, he made his nephew cardinal of St Pietro -ad vincula, and legate of Avignon. - -The french army before Saulse[27], in the county of Roussillon, was -badly conducted by some in whom the king had great confidence; for it -was so well equipped, wonders were expected from it. The commanders -might have taken the castle and the garrison, on allowing their -captains to march away in safety; but although many were for it, -the majority were against them. The castle was mined to its very -foundations, and the army was so strongly encamped it could not -be hurt; but the king of Spain, by dint of money, as it was known -afterwards, blinded the eyes of the commanders, to the astonishment and -vexation of all loyal Frenchmen when it was discovered. - -The commander in chief, the marshal de Rieux, a Breton, marched away -to Narbonne, to the great discontent of the French, as the camp was -left without a leader. Every one behaved with the utmost courage, and -raised the siege, carrying off the artillery and baggage without loss -in their retreat. However, had all behaved as they ought to have done, -conformable to their engagements with the king, in a short time they -would have made great advances into the enemy's country, considering -the fine army of the French. - -The lord de la Roche-pot was killed, when before Saulse, by a cannon -shot: it was a great loss, for he was a good and valiant knight, and -the king and whole court were much grieved at it.--The french army in -Naples not only kept its ground, but even made some conquests. - -On Christmas-eve, in this year, the lord Louis of Luxembourg, lord of -Ligny, died, about twelve o'clock at night at Lyon, and was very much -regretted by the king and all who knew him, for he was universally -beloved. - -The 3d day of July, in this year, died Pierre cardinal of Aubusson[28], -grand master of Rhodes, which he had governed for twenty-seven years: -during the early part of which, Rhodes was attacked by the Turks with -an immense army: but he and his knights made so gallant a defence, he -was victorious, and the Turks left upwards of forty thousand dead: the -rest saved themselves by flight, to the great vexation of all Turkey, -in spite of their cries, 'Mahoun, avenge us!' - -The sultan, finding this army defeated, uttered a horrid cry, to the -alarm of his attendants, and swore to march another to Rhodes, and have -ample revenge; but while he was employed in making preparations, he -died. The grand master of Rhodes detained the next heir to the sultan -a prisoner for thirteen years, contrary to the will of many, and then -delivered him up to the pope, who, in return, sent him a cardinal's -hat. He had those fortifications repaired that had been damaged by -the Turks, and then converted the Jews in the island to Christianity. -He formed alliances with all the princes in Christendom, and did an -infinite deal of good. He was succeeded by Emeri d'Amboise, brother to -the cardinal of Amboise, legate to France, who instantly left France -for Rhodes, to oppose the Turks, who were continually carrying on a -warfare against the Christians. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 26: Francis de Savona. This must be a mistake: his name was -Julius della Rovere. He was born at Albizale, a village near to Savona.] - -[Footnote 27: Saulse. Q. Sault? a small territory adjoining Roussillon.] - -[Footnote 28: Aubusson. He was grand prior of Auvergne, and descended -from the ancient viscounts of la Marche. Pope Innocent sent him the -cardinal's hat, for having delivered up to his guard Zimim brother to -Bajazet.] - - - - -CHAP. XVIII. - - THE SOPHI OF PERSIA MAKES WAR ON THE TURK USSON CASSAN[29]. - - -The grand master of Rhodes received on the 7th of December, in the -year 1502, intelligence from Armenia and Persia, that one called Sophi -Christian, or Red Bonnet of Armenia, had assembled an army of forty -thousand men, to enable him to revenge the death of his father by -Usson Cassan, a Turk, and to recover all the Sophines who had been -sent prisoners to Turkey. Having considered the iniquity of the grand -Turk, and his infamous conduct to these Sophines, he set out from his -country, called Adanil, twelve days journey from Tauris, accompanied by -only one hundred warriors, and arrived near to Arzian[30], a town of -Usson Cassan, whose friendship and alliance he besought on account of -his mother, sister to Usson Cassan, pretending that he was waiting the -arrival of his attendants. But he disguised his feelings of injury from -the grand Turk, who detained his Sophines in abject vassalage: however, -within a fortnight, he was joined by about sixteen thousand men, with -whom he entered Arzian by force, and put to death all the inhabitants, -both great and small. - -Among other acts worthy of remembrance, in all the mosques, or temples, -of the Turks, he had the horses and camels tied up as in a stable, -to show his contempt for them, and had them afterwards razed to the -ground. There had been a temple of the Christians which the Turks -had destroyed; but Sophi had it immediately rebuilt, and handsomely -restored. The army of Sophi continually increasing, he advanced into -the province of Firnam, which belonged also to Usson Cassan. Usson -Cassan perceiving that Sophi was subjugating his country, and the whole -of the Turks in this province, amounting to more than fifty thousand, -assembled his army, and offered battle to Sophi, who defeated him -completely, and made him prisoner. He entered victoriously the town of -Sarda, where he staid three months, and thence advanced to Tharabe, a -town of Usson Cassan, which instantly surrendered. - -As he approached the country of Sultania, he was met by the children -of Usson Cassan, with an army of twenty-five thousand men. Sophi gave -them battle, and defeated them. One of the children was killed in the -combat: the others were taken prisoners, and put to a disgraceful death -by cutting them in pieces. Not one of their army was permitted to live. - -The city of Tauris, seeing the great power of Sophi, and that he had -destroyed their prince and his children, surrendered to him without any -defence,--and he remained there with his army some time. The citizens -of Tauris, observing the great prudence and wisdom of Sophi, put him -in possession of all the treasures of Usson Cassan. He thence departed -to a large town called Lingia, three days journey from Tauris, and to -another called Passy, the last town of Usson Cassan. - -Sophi, finding that he had now conquered and submitted to his obedience -the whole of the dominions of Usson Cassan, and established order -every where, returned to Tauris, the capital of the country. He was -continually followed by his mother, with a numerous attendance of -slaves, for he was much beloved by her; and after a short stay at -Tauris, she sent ambassadors to the grand Turk, to remonstrate with -him on his shameful conduct to the Sophines,--ordering him to set them -at liberty, and also to put on the red bonnet, after the manner of the -Sophines, otherwise she would make him feel the power of her son. - -The grand Turk detained the ambassadors in Constantinople, for he -suspected that Sophi would invade his country of Natolia; and in -consequence, he assembled a large army near to the town of Angora[31], -and commanded all in Pera[32] to hold themselves in readiness to -bear arms against Sophi Christian or Red Bonnet. They were, however, -refractory, and refused to obey, showing more willingness to surrender -themselves to Sophi. The Armenians say, that Sophi does not esteem the -grand Turk a button,--for he has an army of ninety thousand men, well -armed, without including his own countrymen from Armenia, who daily -follow him. All this information was brought to the king of France, -when he was at Morestel[33] in Dauphiny, in the year 1503. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 29: I cannot make out this chapter to my satisfaction. In -the 'Art de Verifier les Dates,' I find, that in the year 1501, which -nearly answers to the date in the chapter, Schah Ismael Sophi I., &c. -the restorer of the sect of Ali, in Persia, when only 14 years old, -assembles a large army of Alides, conquers Tauris from Alvand IV. -successor of Uzun Cassan, and obliges him to fly to Diarbeker, where -he dies in 1502.

XIX. - - A GREAT MORTALITY FROM THE UNWHOLESOMENESS OF THE SEASON.--OF THE - DEATHS OF MANY PERSONS OF NOTE. - - -In the course of the year 1504, a truce was concluded between the kings -of France and Spain, touching the county of Roussillon: nevertheless, -the Spaniards that had been garrisoned in Saulse embarked secretly for -Naples. It was said, that the king of Spain had bribed some of the -French (of which they were afterwards accused), and by this means he -had conquered Naples. - -The lord of Aubigny and the lord of Alegre, the principal leaders of -the french army, were made prisoners; and great numbers of their men -perished, more from want of food than in battle, for there was no great -effusion of blood. The lieutenant of the lord of Ligny maintained his -post in the territories of that lord's deceased wife,--and the French, -notwithstanding the spanish force, made several good prisoners, who -were exchanged for the lords of Aubigny and of Alegre. - -This summer was exceedingly hot and dry, which prevented the corn from -filling; and the harvest was very poor in the Lyonnois, Dauphiny, -Auvergne, Burgundy, Savoy, and other countries. From the month of -March, the farmers and peasants, foreseeing the season would be -unproductive, were in great distress, and made processions to different -churches in all the villages around: general processions were even made -by the peasants to the churches in Lyon, where the inhabitants and -monks gave them bread and wine in abundance. - -In these processions, the young women were dressed in white linen, with -bare feet, a kerchief on their heads, and a taper in their hands: the -boys were clothed also in white, bare headed and bare footed: then came -the priests, followed by persons of both sexes, the women singing from -the Litany, 'Sancta Maria! ora pro nobis,' and then the whole cried -aloud for 'Mercy!' - -The parishes of Lyon made similar processions to the church of our Lady -of the island, a french league distant from that city. On the last -day but one of May, the body of St Just was brought from the suburbs -into the city of Lyon, which no man living had before seen done; and -his shrine was carried in procession, with chaunting and singing, from -church to church. On the following day, the jaw bone of St John the -baptist, which had never before been taken out of the church of St -John, was carried in procession to the church of the Augustins. - -Eight days afterwards, it rained; but the drought was soon as great as -ever. The monks of Nôtre Dame de l'Isle, attended by the inhabitants of -many villages, brought her image, and that of St Loup, in procession to -Lyon, which had not been done in the memory of man. This was on the 7th -of June; and at the same time was brought thither the shrine of Saint -Hereny, prince of the nineteen thousand martyrs. - -Processions came to Lyon four and five leagues distant; and the -inhabitants of several villages were from five to six days wandering -about the fields, from one place to another, without returning home. -In short, every body appeared so miserable, the hardest hearts must -have wept on beholding this great desolation of the people, and have -quitted all amusements to assist them. - -In the month of September, there appeared in the river Saone, above -Lyon, a prodigious quantity of small eels, of the size of a man's -little finger, but no one dared to eat of them. Great sickness now -prevailed; and on the 19th of September Philibert duke of Savoy died at -Pont d'Ain, not without suspicions of poison. He was succeeded by his -next brother: the other was bishop of Geneva. - -In the year 1505 died the lady Jane duchess of Berry, and was interred -in a chapel, within the castle of Bourges she had founded and endowed. -From St John's day of last year until that feast in this, the season -was most sickly, and every thing very dear. Wheat sold at Lyon from -twenty-six to twenty-seven sols the bichet[34]; and from the scarcity -in the country vast numbers came from the villages to Lyon to seek -charity. Some left their houses empty, others their wives and children, -and the women their husbands and children. Great part of them died, -although every person who had wherewithal gave them food; for alms were -as abundantly bestowed in Lyon as in any city of its size. - -A pestilential disorder now raged, which carried off immense numbers in -the hospital, both rich and poor; and this pestilence seemed to be felt -every where, for, in the mountains of Savoy, several died of it, and of -hunger, so that many farms were this year uncultivated. - -During Lent, the king of France had the bones of his late father, -Charles duke of Orleans, removed from Blois to Paris, and interred in -the chapel of the Celestins at Paris, which the dukes of Orleans had -founded. Every kind of honour was paid to them during their removal, -and at their re-interment,--and it was a magnificent spectacle. - -About this time, the king was taken with so serious an illness it was -thought he must die. His nobles and courtiers were much grieved: -many of them made divers vows and pilgrimages; and processions were -ordered throughout the realm, to offer up prayers to Jesus Christ for -the king's recovery, which was granted. While he lay speechless, he -had a vision, which he related; and it was so marvellous that I firmly -believe it to be more a miracle than any thing else. A short time -after his recovery, the king solicited the pope to grant a jubilee for -his kingdom of France, and other parts under his dominion, without -any expenses. On the 26th of June, the feast of St Peter and St Paul, -a great procession took place, in which the host was carried as on -Corpus-Christi-day, when the king, knowing how earnestly his people -had prayed for the restoration of his health, would not show himself -ungrateful, but, to reward them, solicited of the pope for this free -jubilee. - -In this year, don Frederick of Naples died, to whom the king had -behaved with the utmost liberality touching his claims on Naples. - -In the year 1506, died, Isabella queen of Spain, who, during the wars -of Granada, had shown great valour and prudence. The king of Spain -was afterwards married to the sister of the lord of Foix, through the -interference of the king of France, who, in consideration of the match, -made some agreements with the king of Spain respecting Roussillon and -Naples. - -A war now took place between the duke of Savoy and the Valoisiens, but -it was soon made an end of.--In the month of July, a general chapter -of the Cordeliers was held at Rome, which had not been done since the -death of their founder St Francis. It was caused, as said, by the -reformation of the Cordeliers in France, which dissatisfied several of -the fraternity,--and it was in this chapter determined by the pope, -that there should be only two modes of living among them; that such as -had been reformed should remain so: consequently, all the convents of -Cordeliers in France follow the rules of the Observantines. - -At this time also, a general chapter of the knights of Rhodes was -holden at Rome, and many knights were drowned in coming thither, from -tempests at sea. - -On the 18th of July, the feast-day of St Pantaléone, a general pardon -was granted to all repentant and confessed sinners, who should bequeath -money or lands to the churches founded by the knights of Rhodes. This -was done on account of a great victory the new grand master, brother -to the cardinal of Amboise, had gained over the Turks. He had defeated -their whole army, which was worthy of remembrance. - -On Ascension-day, in this year, the count of Angoulême[35], the second -person in France, was betrothed, at Tours, to the princess Claude of -France, only daughter to Louis XII. by Anne of Brittany, which caused -great feasts and rejoicings throughout the kingdom.--The reverend -father in God the lord Francis of Rohan, son to the marshal of Gié, and -archbishop of Lyon, made his public entry into that city on the 14th of -August. Many mysteries were exhibited in the streets through which he -passed, and they were all hung with tapestries. On the following day, -the least of the Assumption of our Lady, he chaunted the high mass at -the cathedral of St John in his archiepiscopal robes. - -This year, the duke of Gueldres made war on that part of Guelderland -dependant on the archduke. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 34: Bichet,--a measure of uncertain quantity,--from 70 to 54 -pounds weight of corn,--of 36 pounds of chesnuts.] - -[Footnote 35: Count of Angoulême,--afterwards Francis I. king of -France.] - - - - -CHAP. XX. - - THE DEATHS OF THE ARCHDUKE AND OF THE QUEEN OF HUNGARY. - - -The archduke Philip, during his residence at Burgos in Spain, died, -on the 25th of September, in this year 1506.--The queen of Hungary -died also on the feast-day of our Lady, in August, having been brought -to bed a fortnight before of a son, named Louis. The marquis of -Brandenbourg was proxy for the king of France, at his christening. She -left a daughter likewise, three years of age,--and both children lived. - -In Lombardy, there was a nun of the order of Jacobins, who, like to St -Catherine of Sienna, had, every Friday, marks on her hands and feet -similar to the wounds of our Saviour, that ran blood, which appeared to -all who saw it very marvellous. - - - - -CHAP. XXI. - - THE POPE, BY THE ASSISTANCE OF THE FRENCH, GAINS BOLOGNA. - - -Pope Julius II. weighing in his mind that the whole of the territories -of Bologna were the patrimony of the church, made preparations to -reduce them to his obedience. This city and territory had been usurped, -and held by force for some time, by sir John de Bentivoglio. The pope, -considering that there was no prince in all Christendom so well able -to afford him support in this project as the king of France (that firm -pillar of the church, who had been every where victorious), made him -acquainted with his claims and intentions of recovering the bolognese -territories. - -The king, eager to serve the holy church, ordered a large detachment -of men at arms to join the pope's forces from the Milanese, for him -to use at his pleasure. The pope's army was besieging Bologna on the -side toward Rome,--but when joined by the French, it was besieged -on all sides. This took place in the month of October. The French, -stationed on the side toward Modena, behaved very gallantly, and won -Castel-franco, which was plundered because the garrison would not -surrender. The pope's army gained another castle,--and both armies -showed so much courage, the Bolognese were astonished and frightened: -they found themselves closely besieged, and that it would be impossible -for them to resist the pope and the king of France. Finding their -situation desperate, they surrendered themselves to the pope, having -driven sir John de Bentivoglio out of Bologna, who, as I have before -said, held the town by force, although it lawfully belonged to the pope. - -The pope offered up thanksgivings to God the Creator for his success, -and chaunted high mass most devoutly, on All-souls-day, in the church -of St Petronilla in Bologna. - - - - -CHAP. XXII. - - OF THE DAMSEL TRIVULCE. - - -About this time, there resided a young lady in the Milanese, who had -been taught the rudiments of grammar at seven years of age, and was so -earnest in her studies that, at fourteen, she was eloquent to a degree -that astonished all who heard her. - -She was descended from the noble family of the Trivulces. Her father, -called John, was an able knight and good scholar, as were all of his -family. Her mother's name was Angela, a noble lady of the race of the -Martinengois. In praise of this young lady, the verse of Prosper may -be well applied,--'Naturæ sequitur semina quisque suæ.' Her mother was -not a learned lady, although full of virtue; but the daughter was so -devout and eloquent, in her prayers, that she seemed more angelic than -human; and if she continues to abound in such virtues, and to live thus -sanctified and devout, she will deservedly be worthy of her reputation -of a saint. - -At twelve years of age, she became a great disputant, and was -invited into the companies of the most learned, as well secular as -ecclesiastic,--among whom were the bishop of Lausanne, an eminent -scholar, her uncles the bishop of Cumense[36] and Francis Trivulce, -of the order of franciscan friars, when several disputations took -place,--and great praises were given to this damsel. She understood -philosophy, history, and different sciences, was mistress of Seneca, -Aristotle, and Pietro of Ravenna. Whatever she saw or heard at any of -the places she visited, she related the whole to her father, on her -return home, as exactly as if it had been written down. - -She was skilful in poetry, and one day composed so long a poem her -master was surprised at her talent. She became soon expert in the -greek tongue, and wrote many letters, in that and in other languages, -that were greatly admired by all the learned to whom they had been -addressed. She was most patient in adversity, making a joke of it: in -short, every thing she did or said was miraculous, and unlike to a -human being. When marriage was spoken of to her, she replied, that she -would never marry a man whom she did not know to be as pure in virtue -as herself. - -The Genoese, acting according to their accustomed treachery, forgetful -of the crimes they had committed, and been pardoned for by the king, -now rebelled against him, and chose for their doge one called Paul -Noyus[37], who had been a silk dyer. The king, hearing of this, -resolved to march in person against them, and reduce them to his -obedience, notwithstanding the great preparations the Genoese had made -for resistance. They had, among other things, erected a bulwark they -thought impregnable; but some bold french adventurers having secretly -mounted this bulwark, the hearts of the Genoese failed them, and they -fled into the town. They now offered to surrender themselves to the -king's mercy, who, from his uncommon benignity, and wish to avoid the -effusion of human blood, pardoned them, and entered the town with his -whole army, where he had a magnificent reception. Their lately-elected -doge, Paul di Nove, was taken at sea by a french bark, when making his -escape, brought back to Genoa, and beheaded. From this time forward, -it was publicly proclaimed, that the populace should not shout 'Adorne -Fregose[38]!' which they had been accustomed to do before this last -reduction of the town. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 36: Cumense. Q. Como?] - -[Footnote 37: Paul Noyus. Paul di Nove.] - -[Footnote 38: Fregose. Q. Fiesco?] - - - - -CHAP. XXIII. - - OF THE LEAGUE OF CAMBRAY, FORMED BY THE CARDINAL OF AMBOISE, BETWEEN - THE POPE, THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN, THE KING OF FRANCE, AND THE KING - OF SPAIN, AGAINST THE VENETIANS.--THE KING OF FRANCE DEFEATS THE - VENETIANS AT AGNADELLO. - - -The king of France, about this time, through the means of the cardinal -of Amboise, concluded a treaty at Cambray between the pope, the -emperor, the king of Spain, and the lady Margaret, governess of the -low countries. This treaty, although of no long duration, was the -cause of the deaths of two hundred thousand men, as you will hereafter -see, through the treachery of the confederates, in various battles and -engagements that took place; and what is worse, we of the present time, -unless God shall be pleased to apply a remedy, are still suffering from -the effects of this unfortunate treaty. - -The king thought to obtain by it a lasting peace and alliance with the -adjoining princes; but he was deceived, as was apparent at the time -of the affair of Peschiera, against the Venetians; for he alone, of -all the confederates, took the field, crossed the Alps, and advanced -to Milan. He thence marched his army, and what is worthy of remark, -had all the bridges broken down he passed over, to show that flight -would be needless. His first conquest was the castle of Trevi. He then -marched his army to Peschiera, near to which was Agnadello, where -the battle was fought. Five days after the camp had been formed at -Peschiera, the Venetian army was attacked, and completely routed, -chiefly by the great exertions of the lord of Bourbon, who fought -manfully: there was great slaughter. The confederates never thought -that this could have been accomplished by the french army alone. Indeed -the Venetians would not believe it until the count de Pitigliano, who -had fled with the reserve, convinced them of its truth. This battle -took place on the 14th of May, just six days after the king arrived in -the camp, and it was certainly very fortunate. Thus the war lasted but -five days; for after such a victory, there was nothing to prevent the -king obtaining all his demands. - -I repeat, that this success was very fortunate, considering how -advantageously the enemy were posted, the number of strong places -in their possession, and the strength of their armies; for they had -enow to oppose the confederates in the field and to guard their -strong holds. In their camp were more than seventeen hundred men at -arms, light cavalry to the amount of nine thousand five hundred, -and twenty-two thousand infantry well armed, with twenty pieces of -large artillery, much superior to what the king had, and also the -best captains in all Italy to command this army, particularly sir -Bartholomew d'Alviano, the chief, taken prisoner as he was rallying a -body of infantry. - -Numbers of the most renowned of the venetian captains were made -prisoners this day, and sent to different strong castles in -France,--their banners to the church of St Denis. Not more than two -hundred were slain of the king's army, while full fifteen thousand -fell on the side of the enemy. After the battle, the king ordered the -dead to be buried, and a chapel to be erected on the spot, endowed -sufficiently for the celebration of daily masses for the souls of those -who had died in a state of grace. It was not long afterward before -those towns which the Venetians had usurped surrendered to the king's -obedience,--such as Bergamo, Brescia, Crema, Cremona, that had formed -part of the duchy of Milan. - -The pope, in like manner, recovered those places that had been taken -from the church, namely, Ravenna, Imola, Faienza, and Forli. The -emperor Maximilian regained from the Venetians his towns of Verona, -Vicenza, and Padua,--but this last he did not keep long. Whether -through negligence or fear, he had never dared to come to the king's -camp, notwithstanding his repeated promises: the king, however, gave -him a large body of men, under the command of the lord de la Palisse, -to regain the city of Padua,--and it was long besieged, but nothing -effectual was done at last. - -The king of Spain also regained the towns of Brundusium, Tarentum, and -others, of which the Venetians had possessed themselves. - -When all this had been done through the fortunate victory of the king -of France, who had supported the pope like a true son of the church, -and had so essentially served him in the restoration of Bologna by the -expulsion of Bentivoglio, and in various other ways,--notwithstanding -all these proofs of his friendship, pope Julius, at the instigation of -the Venetians and others, formed an alliance against him, and, having -joined his arms with those of Venice, took Udina and Mirandola; which -last he restored to John Franciscus Picus, who styled himself the true -lord of it. - -To return to the king of France: after his victory over the Venetians, -he went to Milan, where a magnificent triumphal entry was prepared -for him, after the manner of the ancient Romans. Brilliant cars, full -of the handsomest and best dressed ladies in Milan, went out to meet -him,--and the people greeted him with acclamations, comparing him to -Cæsar, for having conquered and reduced to his subjection those who -had been feared and dreaded by all the world before. - -The king, having had so handsome a reception in Milan, went thence -to Savona, where he was met by Ferdinand, who had come thither with -a numerous fleet of galleys for the purpose. The king of France -received him and his queen with much kindness, and they made good cheer -together. They confirmed their peace by dividing the eucharist between -them at the holy sacrament; but it lasted not long, notwithstanding -this ceremony, as you will hereafter see. There are many who make a -good sale of their consciences and promises; and one of them, instead -of the host, ought to have swallowed a burning coal,--for numberless -creatures have paid dear for perjuries of which they were innocent, and -had no concern with. - - - - -CHAP. XXIV. - - A WAR BETWEEN POPE JULIUS AND THE KING OF FRANCE, ON ACCOUNT OF THE - DUKE OF FERRARA.--A COUNCIL OF THE CHURCH ASSEMBLED AT THE INSTANCE OF - THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN AND THE KING OF FRANCE, TO THE DISSATISFACTION - OF THE POPE.--BOLOGNA TAKEN BY THE FRENCH. - - -About this time, the town of Mirandola was valiantly reconquered by -the French, and the town of Udina delivered up to the king of the -Romans. The marquis of Mantua was taken prisoner by the Venetians, -and carried to Venice, whence, some time after, he easily obtained -his liberty. A fresh war now commenced between the pope and the duke -of Ferrara, an ally of France,--for which reason, the king left the -count Gaston de Foix, whom he had lately created duke of Nemours, his -lieutenant-general in the Milanese, who did marvellous feats of arms -during his command in Italy. - -The lord-cardinal of Amboise, on his last return from Italy, fell -sick at Lyon, and died there. His loss was great, as was afterwards -known, although at the time some thought the contrary; but they were -unacquainted with his many virtues, and the good use he made of his -talents,--for during the whole of his administration, he advised his -master with such wisdom that the people were never over-taxed. Whatever -wars king Louis may have carried on in Italy, the taxes were never -raised above their usual rates; but when the enemy attempted to bring -the war on the french territory, it became absolutely necessary to -increase them. - -The king was, not without foundation, called 'the father of his -people,' notwithstanding that title may have been given him during his -life through flattery, and the worth of other kings debased, the more -to exalt his own. It is impossible to say too much of a virtuous man -in his absence; but when present, to praise him smells strongly of the -love of lucre. - -The cardinal-legate having lain in state for a short time, the body -was embalmed, put into a leaden coffin, and carried to Rouen for -interment. The king came thence to Blois, accompanied by the queen, -then far gone with child of a daughter, as it turned out afterward, -whom the king had vowed to the holy St Réné, a bishop of Angers, -whither he made a pilgrimage with the queen when she recovered. The -young princess was christened Renée,--and the lord Jean Jacques de -Trivulce stood godfather with the king. - -About this time, the Portuguese made some discoveries on the island of -Oran[39], on the coast of Africa, where they met savages of a blackish -colour, with countenances as if branded with hot irons, thick lips, -black and coarse hair, resembling in thickness that of a horse. They -had no beard, nor appearance of any, or of hair on any parts of the -body but on the head and eye-brows. Their boats are made of the bark -of trees, and so light, a man can with ease carry one of them. Their -bows are bent with the sinews of wild beasts: their arrows of cane, -headed with a sharp stone or piece of fish-bone. They know not the use -of bread or wine, nor the value of money, and crawl on the earth like -beasts, feeding on raw flesh, and covered with skins for clothing. They -live part of their time in the sea. Two of these natives were brought -by some Normans to Rouen, and presented to the king; but they did not -live long, nor did the others that had been brought to Europe. - -But to return to my former subject: a general council was demanded -by the emperor, and king of France, to the great discontent of the -pope. He had broken his faith, by instigating the king of Arragon, the -republic of Venice, and others, to commence a new war, quitting the -chair of Saint Peter for the car of Mars, the god of war, displaying -in the field of battle his triple crown, and sleeping in watchtowers. -God knows what a sight of crosses, mitres, and sacred banners, were -fluttering in the plains; and the devil took good care not to come -near,--for benedictions were given most abundantly, and at the cheapest -rates. - -The war commenced against the duke of Ferrara, ally to the king, -when many engagements took place, sieges were made and raised, for it -was continued without interruption of winter and summer. Bologna was -besieged by the duke of Nemours, who acted as viceroy in Italy, and -the Bolognese fled before him, so that he soon reconquered that town, -as you shall hear. About this time, pope Julius excited the Swiss to -invade the duchy of Milan, which they did, and advanced to the walls -of that city, committing every sort of mischief, particularly to a -monastery of nuns, whom they ravished, and plundered the convent of all -within it. - -The lord de Conti, like a valorous knight, hastened to their relief, -and did wonders; but he was surrounded, and fell, which was a great -pity.--Soon after, the duke of Nemours made an agreement with them to -return home, on receiving a sum of money,--which they accepted and -retreated, to return again to seek more money. - -The inhabitants of Brescia were now (unfortunately for them) advised -to quit the french interest, and put themselves under the dominion -of Venice, for which they severely suffered. In like manner, those of -Bergamo revolted to the Venetians,--but the castles of both places -remained in the hands of the French, under the command of able -captains, who gallantly served the king, especially in his italian -wars, for which some of them were but badly recompensed. - -The council[40] before mentioned was first held at Tours, then at -Lyon, and then referred to a general council at Pisa, where were many -cardinals, archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, and other prelates -of the church. There were likewise some very learned theologians, and -canonists, to whom this affair would afford matter of discussion. -Several essential points were determined on in the different sessions -of this council; but, for weighty reasons, the council was transferred -to Milan, and thence to Lyon, where it remained. - -The french army suffered much at the siege of Bologna, from the rigour -of the weather: but, notwithstanding this, they were victorious, -drove out of the town the pope and his archbishops, and entered it as -conquerors. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 39: Oran,--a town of Algiers. I should imagine this to be a -mistake for some place on the southern coast of Africa.] - -[Footnote 40: The council--was held in 1510 at Tours, and attended -by all the prelates and doctors of France. Louis XII. proposed eight -questions, touching his declaring war against pope Julius II. in favour -of Alphonso duke of Ferrara, whom the pope had determined to deprive -of his dominions. The answers of the council confirmed the king in his -resolution for war. - -I do not see any thing of these removals of the council in the Art de -Verifier les Dates, from whence the above is taken.] - - - - -CHAP. XXV. - - THE DUKE OF NEMOURS MARCHES HIS ARMY AGAINST BRESCIA.--ON TAKING THE - TOWN, A GREAT SLAUGHTER ENSUES. - - -When the duke of Nemours heard of the revolt of Brescia, and that -the Venetians had entered the town, he instantly made preparations -to attack them, and with great diligence, marched day and night to -Brescia; for I can promise you, that the king had, at that time, an -excellent army,--and the liberal promises of the duke of Nemours urged -them on, so that they were almost immediately before it. - -Those in the castle, on the first appearance of their countrymen, -opened the gate, and part of them forced their way thence in the -town. Alas! what a deluge! what cries! what lamentations of the poor -citizens! It is a great pity, and wonderful how many suffer in the -support of the quarrels of princes and great lords: however, in this -instance, they had deserved punishment, for having wantonly broken -their oaths of allegiance. - -The duke of Nemours had no sooner gained the castle and palace than, -like a great warrior as he was, he entered the town, one arm bare, and -his sword on his wrist, shouting out 'France!' in which he was echoed -by all Frenchmen. The Venetians, thunderstruck, took to flight through -one of the gates, but numbers were slain[41] and made prisoners, of -whom were many of high rank in Venice, who were sent to France. - -The inhabitants having attempted to defend themselves, the town was -given up to plunder; and you might have seen several french adventurers -tearing to pieces, out of spite, large bales of cloths of gold and of -silk; such merchandise might then have been bought for almost nothing. -The ladies and children made piteous moans on seeing their husbands and -fathers murdered and cast out of the windows, and all their effects -pillaged. To make short of the matter: they thought that God's whole -indignation and wrath had been poured on them; for the French treated -them with every cruelty, in revenge for the resistance that had been -made by throwing stones and beams from the tops of the houses, by which -some great french lords suffered severely. The place was completely -conquered, in spite of all that the Brescians and Venetians could do to -prevent it,--and the streets were filled with dead bodies, besides the -numbers that were slain in the open country: in the whole, there must -have been many thousands killed. Among the prisoners were sir Andrew -Gritti, sir John Paulle[42], Caufre and his son, the count Ludovico -Adanago[43], who had been the chief adviser of the town to revolt, for -which it had been treated as you have heard. - -After this victory, the towns and castles in the territories of Brescia -were re-garrisoned, and provided with abundance of provision and -stores of all kinds,--and the lord d'Aubigny was appointed governor of -Brescia. The town of Bergamo also surrendered, as well as several other -places, which had revolted, and in consequence suffered great miseries. - -News was brought to the duke of Nemours, that the Spaniards had left -all their heavy artillery and baggage at Imola, and were advancing, -by forced marches, into the plain, boasting that they would form a -junction with the Venetians and relieve Brescia; but I believe that, -when they learned what had passed there, they changed their intentions. - -About this time, there lived in the town of Augsbourg a virgin, named -Anne, who had arrived at the age of forty years, without eating, -drinking, sleeping, or having any natural evacuations!!! by which it -may be known, that she was under the especial grace of our Lord Jesus -Christ,--and she had given herself up to devout contemplations. - -Another great wonder was seen in the city of Ravenna, where a monster -was born with a horn on its head, wings of a bat, one foot like a -bird of prey, the other like a human foot! It had an eye on its knee, -and was of both sexes! It had a mark of a Y on its breast, and an -appearance of a cross, with a crescent beneath,--which signs, according -to my lords the philosophers and prognosticators, signify many things!! - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 41: Numbers were slain. Guicciardini says, about eight -thousand of the inhabitants and venetian soldiers.] - -[Footnote 42: Sir John Paulle. Q. Giampaolo Manfrone and his son? -Guicciardini mentions also as prisoners Antonio Justiniano, the -Venetian governor of the town; il cavaliere della Golpe, Baldassare -di Scipione, un figliuolo d'Antonio de Pii, Domenico Busecco, captain -of the light cavalry. Count Luigi Avogaro was beheaded in the -market-place.--See Guicciardini.] - -[Footnote 43: Ludovico Adanago. Q. Luigi Avogaro and his son?] - - - - -CHAP. XXVI. - - THE DUKE OF NEMOURS DEFEATS THE UNITED ARMIES OF THE POPE, THE - VENETIANS, AND THE SPANIARDS, NEAR TO RAVENNA,--BUT IS HIMSELF SLAIN, - AFTER HE HAD GAINED THE VICTORY AND TOTALLY REPULSED THE ENEMY. - - -We must now return to the wars in Italy, and elsewhere. During the -Lent of the year 1512, the duke of Nemours marched his army before -Ravenna, wherein that of the pope, the Venetians, and Spaniards were -seeking opportunities to retaliate on the French,--and they had made -great preparations for this purpose. The duke of Nemours, having had -information of this, advanced thither, accompanied by many nobles and -valiant captains, such as the lord de la Palisse, the lord d'Alegre -and his son, the lord Jean Jacques of Trivulce, the lord de Châtillon -governor of Paris, the lord de Molarc, Maugeron, La Crotte, and other -officers of renown. When he had approached Ravenna, the French -remained some time encamped from a scarcity of provision, and many -suffered by it. Perceiving that their supplies had failed, like hardy -warriors, stirred on by the eager desire of the duke of Nemours for the -combat, they resolved, on the eve of Easter-day, to offer the enemy -battle on the morrow, which was the feast of the Resurrection of our -Lord. - -The French advanced boldly to the combat, having their artillery in -front, which played four hours incessantly, and did great damage to the -Spaniards, principally to their men at arms. Some Spaniards sallied out -of their camp, and the French rushed in,--when both parties met, and -two superb and bold nations might then be seen contending with courage -and earnestness for the victory. Never was heard such clattering of -swords and lances: the gallant duke of Nemours hastened forward, -fighting most wonderfully, to encourage his men; and it was for some -time uncertain which side would have the advantage,--for the Spaniards -shouted at times 'Victory! Julius, Julius!' at others, the French cried -out 'Victory, Nemours!' At length, the French made their enemies fly. - -During the battle, the lord de Molarc was killed by a cannon-shot,--a -great loss to the king, for he was a valiant, and enterprising captain. -He led that day the french infantry, a most courageous and steady band. -La Crotte and captain Jacobs, who commanded the Lansquenets, were among -the first of the slain; and their loss was a heavy blow: however, both -French and Lansquenets advanced with greater courage to revenge the -deaths of their captains, and pushed on until they came to where the -baggage was, and some famished adventurers had already begun to knock -in the heads of the casks of different wines,--when, having drank -their fill, they ran away as fast as they could: not so the Spaniards, -who still held on fighting,--for I can assure you, that these spanish -troops were no way fainthearted, and there had not been so severe a -battle fought as this for a long time. May God pardon those who were -killed! - -The remnant of the Spaniards and Italians that escaped wandered here -and there. Upwards of twenty of the great lords of Italy lay dead on -the field. There were many prisoners made: in the number were Pedro -de Navarre, don John de Cardona, the marquis of Pescara, Pomare, -Epinose, Castinago, John Antony Vosino, the count de Montelon, the -marquis de Betonde, the marquis de l'Estelle, the son to the count -of Consege, and others of renown. No one knew what became of the -duke du Traict,[44] who was of their company. The viceroy of Naples -saved himself by flight, until he gained the seashore, and embarked -for Naples. The marquis de la Padulla and the count del Popolo made -good a retreat before the end of the conflict, with eleven or twelve -hundred horse, as well men at arms as light cavalry, and from sixteen -to seventeen-hundred infantry, the remains of their army, and saved -themselves as well as they could. - -Numbers of Frenchmen were doubtless slain, for the Spaniards fought -with the utmost bravery; and when the french men at arms returning from -the pursuit, passed over the field of battle, the wounded laid hands -on any swords near them, and, in the miserable state they were in on -the ground, cut the legs of the horses the French were mounted on. - -Pope Julius was at Rome when news of this event was brought him. God -knows how he bore it, for he had been a very great sufferer in that -battle. The instant he heard it, he would have set off without delay, -fearing that the French would follow up their victory, and come to seek -him even in Rome. - -After this defeat, the illustrious and gallant duke of Nemours, having -perceived a small body of the enemy that had not dispersed, like a -magnanimous prince, but too unmindful of the signal victory God had -just given him, required of the nobles and captains around him, that -they would be pleased to march with him and drive them away. Some of -them who, from long experience, knew the uncertainty of the chances of -war, remonstrated with him on being too adventurous, and that he should -remain satisfied with the success he had gained. Notwithstanding the -truth of these remonstrances, he persisted in his resolution, and said -aloud, 'Let all who love me, follow me.' Upon this, the lord d'Alegre, -his son, Maugeron, the bastard of Cliete, seeing him thus determined -and already advancing followed him. - -The duke of Nemours was the first to attack this body of the enemy, -who were greatly superior in number; and the gallant prince performed -such feats of arms as astonished them, and cleared all around his horse -with such rapid and mortal blows that none dared approach him. It was -a grand sight to view so young a man displaying such extraordinary -courage. The enemy, observing how few the French were, and that no -reinforcements were coming to them, recovered their courage and -surrounded the young hero. They first killed his horse, and then fell -upon him with battle-axes, pikes, and every sort of weapon, that he, -and all his companions, died a glorious death. - -This was a most heavy loss to France, for he was a magnanimous prince, -worthy to be placed on a triumphant throne in a temple of brave men. -His liberality and frankness had gained him the love of the army, who -would have followed him any where, even without pay,--and within four -months he had gained three decisive battles. - -When this melancholy event was known, the lord de la Palisse and other -captains hastened to revenge his loss, and put to death the whole body -of the enemy that had slain the duke, the lord d'Alegre and the others, -without suffering one to escape. They thence marched to besiege the -city of Ravenna, which they took by storm, killed the greater part of -the inhabitants, and plundered the town: there was much confusion, -for it was almost entirely destroyed. When this was done, the french -returned to the field of the late battle, to raise the bodies of -the duke of Nemours and the other lords, to give them an honourable -interment in sacred ground. The body of that most noble prince and -viceroy of Italy, was carried in mournful triumph to Milan, from the -ground where he had fallen, to be magnificently interred becoming so -great a prince. - -The body of the duke of Nemours arrived at Milan the 26th of April, -in the year 1412, preceded by all the prisoners taken at the battle -of Ravenna. The banners, guidons, and standards the French had so -valiantly conquered, as well from the Italians as from the Venetians -and Spaniards, and of the different lords who had fallen in this -battle, were borne before him, which added joy intermixed with -grief at this mournful interment. Great order was observed in the -procession,--and it was a triumphantly melancholy spectacle. The nobles -and captains were in deep mourning,--and there was no heart so hard -not to weep on seeing his body thus carried untimely to the grave. His -pages and attendants led his horses of parade and for war: his helmet -and victorious sword, as lieutenant general for the king, were borne -before the body. In short, those of his army who attended the funeral -were loud in their lamentations; for they had always found him liberal -and courteous, and never sparing of his own personal efforts in war. - -The principal inhabitants and churchmen of Milan came out to meet the -body, dressed in mourning cloaks and hoods, with a blaze of lighted -torches, on which were the arms of the deceased emblazoned. The body, -surrounded by two hundred of the choicest lances in the army and a -numerous escort of infantry, was conducted, with great pomp of grief, -to the cathedral, where a most solemn service was performed for the -repose of his soul. - -Think how great must have been the sorrow of the king and queen, when -they heard of this sad event at Blois, for they loved him as if he had -been their own child; and I can assert for truth, that those who had -never seen him bewailed his loss, on the reports they had heard of his -uncommon virtues and gallantry. May God receive his soul! - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 44: Duke du Traict. Q. Utrecht?] - - - - -CHAP. XXVII. - - ON THE DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH FROM ITALY, THE SWISS TAKE THE TOWN OF - MILAN AND OTHER PLACES HELD BY THE KING OF FRANCE. - - -After this battle of Ravenna, where, as well as in the preceding ones, -great quantities of human blood were shed, principally of the Italians -and their allies,--but also of the French, and of some of the noblest -families, by which many ladies and damsels in France became widows and -orphans. The generals, or at least those who had the management of -the finances for the army, imagined that, by the happy event of this -battle, all Italy was subdued, as far as Rome, if not farther, and -disbanded great bodies of infantry at the very time when they should -have sought reinforcements, to garrison the towns and castles that had -been lately conquered. - -When this conduct was noticed by certain bloodsuckers and turbulent -spirits, they collected troops in divers parts, to endeavour to regain -honour by attacking the French; for, seeing them dispersed in their -garrisons, they were aware that courage, when disunited, is not so -much to be dreaded as when in a collective body. The holy father the -pope, smarting from the losses he had suffered from the French, three -times excited the Swiss-cantons to rise in arms against them, for they -had of late been neglected by the king of France. They chiefly depend, -for their maintenance, on pensions from kings and princes,--and the -pope having made the bishop of Sion a cardinal, he was an active and -able tool, by his public preachings and intrigues, to prevail on them -to comply with the wishes of his holiness. Maximilian also, having -turned his coat, was to allow them an entrance to Italy through his -territories of the Veronese and elsewhere. The Spaniards likewise -assembled from various parts of Italy; and they all advanced toward -Milan, whence the government had been withdrawn to France, so that the -poor Milanese were in despair, and knew not how to act. However, the -French having left them, they, as usual, fell in with the strongest, -and the enemy was admitted into the town. The castle was held by the -French, under the command of the lord de Louvain; and other castles -were also in their possession: that of Brescia was held by the lord -d'Aubigny. - -When the French were returning from Italy, a sharp skirmish took place -at a bridge near to Pavia, between a small body of french adventurers -and the enemy, and they were inhumanly treated by the townsmen. Among -others of their villanous acts, I shall mention one. A Frenchman, -unable to keep up with the rest, was met by an inhabitant of Pavia, -who said to him, 'My friend, I love the french nation: come, I beg of -you, to my house, and I will save you from being killed.' The poor -adventurer, confiding in his fair words, followed him; but he was no -sooner within his doors than he treated him most brutally, cut off his -private parts, and thrust him into the street in his shirt, bawling -aloud, 'Here is another Frenchman!' on which numbers rushed out of -their doors, and hacked him to pieces with their swords. - -There was another inhabitant of Pavia who had even devoured the heart -of a Frenchman, by way of revenge. - -I am persuaded that all the evils that have befallen Italy have been -caused by their wickedness, and infamous practices similar to those of -Sodom and Gomorrah. The air would be infected, were I to recite them. -May God amend them, and all others! On the other hand, the French have -a shameful custom (which was increased when in Italy) of blaspheming -our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and our Lady, with divers indecent oaths, in -which they seem to take pleasure. God may, perhaps, have been angered -by such detestable blasphemies, and by that great vanity with which -the French are always filled, and suffered them to experience the late -unfortunate reverses, to show that from Him alone come victories and -good fortune. - -The French, on leaving Italy, were in a great alarm,--and they were so -rejoiced when returned to France, they attributed it to the favour of -Heaven. Such are the chances of this world. - -In this year of 1512, pope Julius, returning evil for good, was -violently animated against the French; and having partly accomplished -his wish of being the chief cause of their expulsion from Italy, died -at Rome in the ninth year of his pontificate. May God pardon him! - -About this time, a truce was concluded between the kings of France and -of Arragon, for a certain space of time. Leo X. was now the reigning -pope: he was consecrated at Rome the successor of pope Julius II. -Leo was a native of Florence, of very wealthy, and renowned parents. -His father was Lorenzo de Medici, to whose family Louis XI., king of -France, had granted permission to add the three flowers de luce to -their armorial bearings[45]. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 45: I must refer the reader, for further particulars of the -french wars in Italy, to Guicciardini and other italian historians, and -to Mr. Roscoe's lives of Lorenzo de Medici and of Leo X. The grant of -Louis XI. to the Medici, to bear the arms of France, is in the appendix -to Comines.] - - - - -CHAP. XXVIII. - - OF THE WAR IN GUIENNE.--THE KING OF FRANCE SENDS SUCCOURS TO THE - KING OF NAVARRE.--THE KING OF ENGLAND MAKES PREPARATIONS TO INVADE - FRANCE.--A SEA-FIGHT BETWEEN TWO LARGE ENGLISH AND FRENCH SHIPS. - - -It was not long before a war broke out in Guienne, or rather in -Navarre; which kingdom the king of Arragon had entered, and taken the -town of Pampeluna, with others belonging to the king of Navarre, under -pretence of being heir to that crown in right of his wife, sister to -the late duke of Nemours count of Foix, slain after the battle of -Ravenna. - -The good king of Navarre[46], in consequence, demanded succour from -the king of France, to recover the places he had lost. Louis XII., -considering how faithful an ally he had always been, ordered a large -body of men at arms and infantry to his assistance, under the command -of the duke of Longueville and Dunois. This war was very expensive -to the king of France, for the army remained long without striking a -blow. In addition to this, the English, excited by the king of Arragon, -as well as by a desire to regain Guienne, which they claimed as an -inheritance, made a landing near to Roncevaux and St John Pied du -Port,--but not being able to effect a junction with the Spaniards, they -returned[47]. - -In the year 1513, Henry king of England, son to king Henry VII. who, -by the aid of Charles VIII. king of France, succeeded peaceably to the -crown of England after the death of Richard of York, instead of being -grateful, for such services, to the king of France, although his late -father had charged him, on his deathbed, to do nothing against that -king, if he wished to prosper, instantly on the death of his father -acted directly contrary. King Henry, equally eager with his subjects -to invade France, sent an embassy to the lady Margaret, governess -of Flanders, to obtain armour, stores, and artillery, particularly -thirteen large cannons, which he had ordered to be cast in Flanders. -These articles were immediately delivered, in return for a large sum -of angels that remained behind,--for it had been long since they had -circulated in any other country than their own. - -A secret treaty was, at the same time, concluded between Henry and -the archduke,--which having secured him the aid of the Flemings, -he continued to make his preparations for the invasion of France -without interruption. He sent his fleet, under the command of the lord -admiral[48] to cruize on the coasts of Brittany, who was himself on -board a vessel of prodigious size. - -The french saw this armament with sorrow, for they had not a fleet able -to cope with it; but a valiant sea-captain, named Primaugay, embarked -on board a large ship called La Cordeliere, which the queen of France -had lately built at an immense expense. He put to sea, and boldly -attacked the english admiral in the great ship called The Regent, when -a bloody combat took place. After some time, the Cordeliere set the -Regent on fire, which having gained the powder-magazine, she blew up, -with all within her. - -Primaugay, seeing it impossible to save his ship, as they were grappled -together, leapt into the sea, armed as he was, and perished: it was a -pity, for he was a bold and enterprising man[49]. - -These two large ships were burnt; but the rest of the fleet returned in -safety to England, to report the unfortunate news to the king, who was -much vexed thereat, and not without reason. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 46: The good king of Navarre--was of so indolent a character -that his queen, a woman of high spirit, told him, 'Had _you_ been -mademoiselle Catherine, and _I_ don John, we had never lost our realm.' -Henault.] - -[Footnote 47: Henry VIII. was the dupe of Ferdinand of Arragon. The -english forces landed at Guipi-coa, under the command of the marquis of -Dorset, but were never joined by the Spaniards to unite in the siege -of Bayonne. The English returned, having gained nothing but disgrace, -while Ferdinand possessed himself of the kingdom of Navarre.] - -[Footnote 48: The lord admiral,--sir Edward Howard. Sir Edward Knivet -commanded the Regent.] - -[Footnote 49: In Henry's Hist. of England, it is said that both ships -took fire, and perished, with all on board, to the number of seventeen -hundred men; that the rest of the fleets, consisting of twenty-five -sail English, and thirty-nine French, separated in consternation, as if -by mutual consent, without further fighting.] - - - - -CHAP. XXIX. - - THE KING OF ENGLAND DISEMBARKS WITH HIS WHOLE ARMY AT CALAIS.--THE - FRENCH ARE DEFEATED BY THE SWISS, AT NOVARA. - - -When the king of England had completed his preparations, he put to -sea with his army, disembarked at Calais, and thence, with part of -it, marched strait for Flanders. Had he then been attacked, the -perplexities that ensued afterwards would have been avoided. - -At the same time, the king of France had collected an army for the -recovery of the Milanese, under the command of the lord de la -Trimouille, Jean Jacques de Trivulce, sir Robert de la Marche, the lord -of Albany and others,--but the lord de la Trimouille was commander in -chief. - -This army crossed the Alps, and entered Piedmont, where it halted for -the arrival of the rear and baggage, and then pushed forward toward -Novara, in which place was a body of Swiss. The French, supposing them -not very numerous, determined to attack them, which they did; but the -evening before, a very large reinforcement of Swiss had joined their -countrymen in Novara, which the French were ignorant of. A battle, -however, ensued, when the French defeated the van of the enemy; but -such numbers of Swiss now poured in on all sides, the French were -thunderstruck, and hastily retreated to Turin: some, however, of their -infantry, stood their ground, and died valiantly,--and the son of the -lord de la Marche shone pre-eminent for his valour. - -The Swiss gained a considerable park of artillery, which the lord de la -Marche had brought thither, and great part of the baggage. The king -of France, on hearing of this event, ordered the remainder of the army -home, and sent part of it into Guienne, where the illustrious lord of -Bourbon had the command of an army, with many nobles and able captains -under him, to carry on the war in Navarre. He had there a fine camp, -and a variety of skirmishes took place on both sides. - -The king afterwards sent the next heir to the crown, the duke of -Valois and count of Angoulême, accompanied by numbers of gentlemen, -to take the command of this army and camp, where they remained a long -time,--but nothing of importance was done, and they returned to France. -The king then sent them into Picardy to oppose the English, who were -advancing toward Therouenne. The lord de Longueville died immediately -on his return from Guienne. - -In this year, there was an appearance in the heavens, visible in -Piedmont, of three suns, three moons, with various figures of circles -and bows, of different colours, and a white cross in the center. These -were terrible presages,--and I believe that it was a year of wonders. - -About this time, the king sent the lord de la Trimouille into -Swisserland; but the cantons would not agree to any conference until -they should receive a certain sum of money, which was paid them. The -conferences now took place; and the lord de la Trimouille staid long -among them, giving great gifts, in hopes to gain them over to the -interests of France; but after they had received large sums of money, -they dismissed him. He returned through Burgundy, to have some of the -towns of that province put into a good state of defence, to resist the -Swiss, who had determined to attack them. - -The Swiss, in consequence of the resolutions they had formed, entered -Burgundy, and committed great destruction wherever they passed. By -rapid marches, they came before Dijon, into which the lord de la -Trimouille had thrown himself; but with the few men at arms and -infantry with him, it was impossible to resist such a deluge of Swiss. -However, he ordered as many things as could be carried away or drove -off, to be brought into Dijon. - -The Swiss, on coming before Dijon, saluted the town with a large train -of artillery, that battered and damaged the walls and houses; but the -lord de la Trimouille, being well advised, held a parley with some of -the Swiss leaders, and agreed to pay them down one hundred thousand -golden crowns, on their marching back into Swisserland, without doing -more damages to the country, which was executed. - - - - -CHAP. XXX. - - A BODY OF FRENCH ON THEIR RETURN FROM VICTUALLING THEROUENNE, BESIEGED - BY THE ENGLISH AND HAINAULTERS, ARE ATTACKED AND PUT TO FLIGHT. - - -The king of France marched in person to Picardy, and advanced as far as -Amiens, where he was magnificently received by those of the town and -country. Thence he sent the duke of Valois, as his lieutenant-general, -to command the camp against the English, and to order whatever -measures he should think advisable for the victualling of Therouenne. - -This town was then besieged by the king of the Romans, the king of -England, and a number of flemish lords, and particularly by a body of -Hainaulters, who had posted themselves in a fort near the town, and -thence battered it with heavy artillery. The garrison and townsmen -defended the place valiantly, but they were in the utmost distress -from want of provision, and a convoy was ordered to supply their -necessities, under the command of the lord de Longueville. - -He executed this order punctually by throwing in all his supplies; but -on his retreat, he fell unexpectedly into an ambuscade,--for his men, -not suspecting any such stratagem, were marching very disorderly, and -amusing themselves by playing in the fields. On the enemy sallying -from their ambush, the French were panicstruck, and began to fly, -notwithstanding all attempts of their officers to prevent them. In -consequence, the lord de Longueville, the captain Bayard, the lord de -Bussy, and many more captains of renown were made prisoners, some of -whom were carried to England, and their liberty set at a very high -ransom[50]. - -During this time, the king of France sent orders to the governor -of Paris to have all the companies of tradesmen, and of other -descriptions, mustered. This was done, and several companies were -richly accoutred, well armed, and in uniforms. The numbers were found -to be very great, according to the report made by the commissaries who -had been sent thither for this purpose. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 50: This was called The Battle of Spurs from the French -making more use of them than of their swords.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXI. - - THE KING OF SCOTLAND ENTERS ENGLAND WITH A POWERFUL ARMY.--HE IS - SLAIN.--PEACE CONCLUDED BETWEEN THE KING OF FRANCE AND THE VENETIANS. - - -While king Henry of England was engaged in his war abroad, the noble -and gallant king of Scotland invaded England with a large army, on -pretence of a claim to that crown in right of his queen, and also -from his alliance with the king of France, to make a diversion in his -favour, now he was attacked, and force his enemies to quit France to -avoid greater inconveniences. - -The king of Scotland, on entering England, did great mischiefs. -A battle took place, in which very many English fell, as well as -Scots,--but the greatest loss to France was the death of the king of -Scotland, who was killed valiantly fighting. It is rare to find such -friends as will put their lives and fortunes to the chance of war in -the support of a friend, especially when absent[51]. - -The Scots gained the field, although numbers of them were slain,--for -as both nations had been long desirous of coming to blows, it may be -supposed that hard ones were exchanged on each side. May God pardon -those who fell![52] - -On Friday, the 3d of June, in the year 1513, peace was published on the -marble table in the palace, between the most Christian king Louis XII. -and the republic of Venice, and between them and their successors for -ever. By this treaty, the gallant knights sir Bartholomew d'Alviano and -sir Andrew Gritti, with others, obtained their liberty; and the king -made them many rich gifts on their departure. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 51: James professed himself the knight of Anne of Bretagne, -queen of France, who wrote him an heroic letter to claim his -assistance, sending him, at the same time, a ring off her finger and -14,000 francs. - -Andrews.] - -[Footnote 52: The celebrated battle of Flodden,--of late well known -from Mr. W. Scott's beautiful poem of Marmion.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXII. - - THE TOWNS OF THEROUENNE AND TOURNAY SURRENDER TO THE ENGLISH ON - CAPITULATION. - - -To return to the wars of the English in Picardy:--they were long -encamped before Therouenne, and made several attacks on it; but those -within the town showed good courage, and defended it valiantly: at -length provision again failed them, and they were forced to capitulate -for its surrender. The enemy entered Therouenne, but did not keep the -promises they had made; for they had no sooner gained admission than -they began to ill-treat and plunder the poor inhabitants, insomuch that -they were obliged to seek out another place for a habitation, which was -great pity; but this did not satisfy the enemy, for they burnt part of -the town, and threw down the walls to the ground. - -We must not be astonished that the English so boldly invaded France, -particularly Picardy, considering the evident good understanding that -subsisted between them and the Flemings, who at this day raise their -hands and tell those of Tournay that they have never changed sides, -notwithstanding they had settled the chapter _de Venditionibus_, -before the English would embark. This was not handsomely done in -them, considering they had a resident lord,--and they have derogated -shamefully from their former engagements: should they, therefore, find -themselves the worse for it, they have only themselves to thank. - -Shortly after the English had gained Therouenne by capitulation, they -advanced before Tournay, which was surrendered to them by the principal -inhabitants, according to an agreement among themselves, without -striking a blow[53]. - -The king of England and the king of the Romans, after these conquests, -returned to their own countries, leaving a garrison in Tournay. The -king of France likewise quitted Picardy, with his queen, and went to -Blois. - -While the war was carrying on in Picardy, and a little before the -siege of Therouenne, an engagement at sea took place between Pregent, -a french captain, and the lord Howard, lord-admiral of England, on -the 22nd and 25th days of April. Pregent, thinking to join the french -fleet in Brest harbour, was met at sea, on the vigil of St George's -day, by a fleet of forty or fifty sail, and was instantly attacked -by two galeasses and four or five other vessels. The combat lasted -two hours, with great slaughter on both sides; but at length the -English were forced to retire, with the loss of two vessels sunk. On -the Monday following, which was the feast of St Mark, Pregent and his -fleet fell in again with that of the English, amounting to twenty or -thirty vessels, and about thirty large boats. The galley of Pregent was -attacked by two galeasses and three ships, but he fought well,--and -all on board the first galeass were killed by pikes, or drove into the -sea, excepting two prisoners, one of whom was thrown overboard. - -In this combat, sir Edward Howard was killed, whose body was embalmed -to carry to England for interment[54]. The captains of the other ships, -seeing that these five vessels had not made any impression on the -galley of Pregent, whom they had courageously attacked, held a council, -and afterwards made sail, leaving the sea open to Pregent. A large -fleet had been collected at Honnefleur, to attack the king of England -as he crossed the channel, and cut off his return; but when they were -at sea, a violent storm arose that separated this fleet, and some of -the vessels were sunk. - -The winter of this year was very long and severe, so that the Seine and -other rivers were frozen hard enough for carriages to pass over them -with safety; and when the thaw came, numbers of houses and mills were -destroyed by the floods. - -About this time, news was brought that the Swiss had intentions -of again entering Burgundy, when the king ordered thither the -lord of Bourbon with a large force of men at arms, infantry, -and artillery,--but the Swiss did not come. This same year, the -garrisons that had guarded different places in Italy returned to -France, in consequence of the treaty concluded with the Swiss before -Dijon,--namely, those from the castle of Milan; the lord of Aubigny, -his lance on his thigh, with his garrison, from the castle of Brescia. -When these garrisons marched away, the Spaniards took possession of the -castles, which the Venetians thought had been done for them; but when -the Spaniards had established themselves securely, they chaunted to the -Venetians the Evangile des Vierges. Such are the chances of war. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 53: I believe this town was gained by a ruse de guerre. Henry -drew up before the walls a large train of what appeared battering -cannon, (but were only of wood painted, and are now shown in the Tower) -which frightened the inhabitants into an instant surrender. This is the -popular story.] - -[Footnote 54: Sir Edward Howard boarded Pregent's ship, although it -was sheltered by the rocks of Conquet lined with cannon, accompanied -only by Carroz, a spanish knight, and seventeen Englishmen. Overpowered -by numbers, Howard was forced overboard by pikes, and perished in the -waves. - -Andrews.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXIII. - - OF THE DEATH AND INTERMENT OF THE MOST CHRISTIAN QUEEN OF FRANCE, ANNE - OF BRITTANY. - - -At the time of the arrival of the above unfortunate intelligence, -the most noble queen of France, Anne duchess of Brittany, &c. lay -dangerously ill at the castle of Blois. This was on the 2d day of -January,--and her illness so much increased that the good lady, on -Monday the 9th instant, departed this life, most devoutly, in the faith -of JESUS CHRIST, our sovereign Lord, to whom she most humbly resigned -her soul. Great lamentations and grief were shown for this loss. When -the body had been embalmed, it was put into a rich coffin, and carried, -with an immense number of lighted torches, from Blois to the abbey -of St Denis, where it was interred with the usual honours due to her -rank, and followed with the tears of all her officers and attendants. -The funeral service was solemn and magnificent, becoming such a lady, -whose soul may God pardon! - -In the month of April of this year 1513, and just before Easter, a -truce was proclaimed in Paris between the kings of France and of -Arragon. - - - - -CHAP. XXXIV. - - THE KING OF FRANCE MARRIES THE PRINCESS MARY, SISTER TO KING HENRY OF - ENGLAND.--FRANCIS DUKE OF VALOIS AND COUNT OF ANGOULESME MARRIES THE - PRINCESS CLAUDE, DAUGHTER TO THE KING OF FRANCE.--THE NEW QUEEN MAKES - HER PUBLIC ENTRY INTO FRANCE. - - -After the funeral of the late queen of France, the king came to Paris, -and was lodged at the hôtel of the Tournelles, and would not that any -one should appear in his presence but in mourning. He sent for his -two daughters, the princesses Claude and Renée, who were conducted to -him from Blois by madame d'Angoulême, and shortly after summoned the -princes and great barons of his realm to a council on the present state -of affairs, and respecting a peace with England. In consequence of what -had been resolved on in this council, the king sent, as his ambassadors -to king Henry, the governor of Normandy, the president of Rouen, and -the lord Longueville, then a prisoner of war in England, was added to -them, to treat of a peace. - -While this was passing, the king was taken very ill at the castle -of Vincennes, and had ordered, for his recovery, that 'O Salutaris -Hostia,' should be chaunted daily in all the churches of France, at the -elevation of the holy sacrament, which had been of the utmost benefit -to him. On his recovery, the king went thence to St Germain en Laye, to -recreate himself, and to temper the melancholy of his mourning; for it -was a pleasant country, interspersed with woods and dales, and full of -game. - -Much public business was transacted during the king's stay at Saint -Germain; and a marriage was concluded between the duke of Valois, count -of Angoulême, and the princess Claude. They were married in their -mourning, in the chapel of the castle, in the presence of the king, the -princes of the blood, and many others of high rank, on the 18th of May, -in the year 1513. - -About this period, and before the king had quitted St Germain en Laye, -his ambassadors sent him intelligence of their having concluded a peace -with England, on condition of his marrying the princess Mary. King -Henry sent ambassadors to Paris, to confirm the marriage between king -Louis and his sister, and to ratify the treaty of peace that had been -agreed on between the two kingdoms, which was now publicly proclaimed -in both realms. - -On Monday the 16th of August, in this year, a grand procession was -made from the great hall of the palace, with trumpets and clarions, -when the herald, called Mont-joye, proclaimed a magnificent tournament -to be holden at Paris, by the duke of Valois, Brittany, and count of -Angoulême, to which he invited all princes, lords, and gentlemen to -assist. It was about this time that the princess Mary was escorted to -France by many of the great nobles of England, in company with the -lords of France who had gone thither to attend on her. The king left -Paris, with his court, and went as far as Abbeville to meet the new -queen, where she arrived on the 8th of October, and made her public -entry very triumphantly, attended by the duke of Valois and numbers of -nobles, as well English as French, all most richly dressed, with large -golden chains, especially the English. The queen was most handsomely -attired, and seated in a brilliant car: in short, the whole was a -beautiful sight. She was preceded by a body of two hundred english -archers, gallantly accoutred, with their bows in hand, and quivers full -of arrows. - -The king, hearing of her coming, mounted his horse, and, attended -by his nobles, rode out into the plain, under pretence of hawking, -but it was to meet her; and on his approaching her, he kissed her on -horseback, paying her many fair compliments, as he knew well how to do. -Her reception in Abbeville was most honourable,--and the inhabitants -exerted themselves who should surpass the other in testifying their -joy at her arrival. - -On the morrow, the feast of St Denis, the king of France was married -to the princess Mary of England. She was most magnificently dressed, -with an immense quantity of diamonds and precious stones. A singular -banquet succeeded, with a great variety of all sorts of amusements. -Having staid a few days in Abbeville to solace themselves, they set out -for Paris; and through the towns of Picardy they passed, the greatest -honours were paid them. In every town, the queen gave liberty to the -prisoners, by the king's command. On their arrival at St Denis, the -ceremony of the queen's coronation took place, which was very splendid, -and numerously attended by archbishops, bishops, and nobility. - -Monday, the 6th of November, the queen made her triumphant entry into -the city of Paris--the clergy, courts of parliament, of exchequer, &c. -and all the municipal officers, with crowds of people, having gone out -in procession to meet her. She was seated on a rich litter, adorned -with precious stones, and escorted by the duke of Valois, the lord of -Alençon, the lord of Bourbon, the lord of Vendôme, his brother the lord -Francis, Louis de Nevers, with other great lords, as well of England -as of France, prelates and churchmen. Her litter was followed by those -of the princess Claude, duchess of Valois, madame d'Angoulême, madame -de Vendôme, madame de Nevers, and other princesses of both kingdoms. -Thus was she conducted to the church of Nôtre Dame, and took the usual -oaths: she thence proceeded to the royal palace, where a most splendid -banquet was provided. The king and queen lay that night at the royal -palace, which served to shorten his days. - - - - -CHAP. XXXV. - - OF THE TILTS PERFORMED AT PARIS.--THE DEATH AND INTERMENT OF LOUIS - XII. KING OF FRANCE. - - -The next day, the king and queen went to the Tournelles, to see the -tournaments, that had been before proclaimed. At the entrance of the -lists was a triumphal arch surmounted with the shields of arms of the -king and queen: below them were the emblazoned shields of the lords and -princes, the tenants and defendants of the lists. The duke of Valois -was the chief tenant, with his assistants,--and many gallant courses -were ran with lances, to the advantage of some, and to the loss of -others. In short, it was a handsome spectacle, and all in compliment -to, and for the love of, queen Mary; but her popularity would not have -lasted long, for although the poor people were already heavily taxed, -yet the king intended, had he lived longer, to have greatly increased -the taxes. - -After these justs and tourneys, the king carried the queen to St -Germain en Laye, where they spent some time, leading as joyous a life -as he was able. He thence returned to his palace of the Tournelles -at Paris, and was taken so dangerously ill that he made preparations -becoming a good Christian, and rendered his soul to God on the 1st -day of January, in the year 1514. His body was aromatically embalmed, -and lay in state some days at the Tournelles, where every body went -to see it who pleased. The usual ceremonies on such occasions were -then performed, but it would be tiresome to detail them. Some days -after, the body was carried to the church of Nôtre Dame, and placed in -a chapel that had been purposely erected in the choir,--and a solemn -service was performed by the bishop of Paris. The next day it was borne -to a cross near to St Denis, where the abbot and his monks of St Denis -met it, and was, by them, interred with great pomp, amidst the tears -of his officers and domestics. He was buried beside his queen, Anne of -Brittany. May God receive their souls! The principal mourners were the -lord of Alençon, the lord of Bourbon, the lord of Vendôme, and other -princes and great lords. - -It is of some moment when a king or great prince dies, who may, -perhaps, have caused the deaths of numbers of human creatures like -themselves; for I believe that in the other world they will have enough -to do, more especially respecting this circumstance, that a poor -man, with six or seven small children, not worth twenty sols in the -world, shall be taxed from ten to twenty sols, and when the collector -shall come to receive the tax, finding the man worth nothing, and -without means of raising the money, he commits him to prison, where he -languishes out his days. Now I would like to have shown any written law -for this injustice; but no one will attempt so to do, because every one -is eager to push himself forward in this world. May God assist the poor -people! - - - - -CHAP. XXXVI. - - FRANCIS I. KING OF FRANCE, IS CONSECRATED AT RHEIMS.--HE MAKES HIS - PUBLIC ENTRY INTO PARIS.--HE LEAVES FRANCE TO ATTACK THE SWISS, IN THE - MILANESE, WHO HAVE TAKEN POSSESSION OF THAT DUCHY. - - -After the death of Louis XII. Francis, the first of the name, succeeded -him on the throne as the fifty-seventh king of France. He set out from -Paris, to be consecrated king in the cathedral of Rheims, according to -the custom of his ancestors kings of France, and was there anointed -with the holy oil on the 25th day of January, in the year 1514. The -twelve peers of France, or their substitutes, were present exercising -their functions in the usual manner on such occasions. - -Madame d'Angoulême, the king's mother, was present at the ceremony, -accompanied by madame de Bourbon, madame de Vendôme, and other ladies -and damsels. The king went from Rheims to be crowned at St Denis, -and, on his return, made triumphal public entries into Laon, Noyon, -Compiègne, Senlis, and other towns. He continued his way toward Paris, -very grandly attended, and made the most brilliant public entry into -that city that had ever been seen. The accoutrements and trappings -of the horses were of wrought silver, with frized cloth of gold; -and, to sum up the whole in few words, the lords and gentlemen, with -their horses, were covered with cloth of gold: some had their dresses -interwrought with solid silver. - -The king entered in triumph, dressed magnificently: the trappings of -his horse were of worked silver, and his attendants equipped in cloth -of silver brocade. He went, as usual, to the royal palace, where a -sumptuous banquet had been prepared, with a numerous band of trumpets -and clarions; after which, a grand tournament was held in the rue St -Antoine, when the king acquitted himself most gallantly. - -A treaty was concluded between the king of France and the archduke, -and a marriage agreed on between the archduke and the princess Renée, -daughter to the late king, Louis XII. by the count of Nassau, and -other ambassadors dispatched for this purpose. The count of Nassau -was also betrothed to the daughter of the prince of Orange, whom -he afterwards married. At this time, the duke of Bourbon was made -constable of France,--and while the king remained at Paris, the duke of -Suffolk espoused the queen-dowager of France, sister to Henry king of -England. That king had sent the duke of Suffolk to France,--and when he -carried his queen to England, he was grandly accompanied by the highest -of the nobility. Thus was confirmed the peace between the two kingdoms. -At this time also, the king of France sent to seek Pedro de Navarre, a -prisoner of war, whom he set at liberty, gave him many rich gifts, and -the command of a large body of men. - -When all these marriages, and other matters, had been concluded, the -king celebrated the feast of Easter in Paris, and then, with his queen -and court, went by water as far as Montereau-faut-Yonne. He thence -went, on the 1st of May, to a small castle called Egreville, where -were some justings, and proceeded to Montargis and Briare, where he -embarked on the Loire for Amboise. He made a public entry into all the -towns he passed,--namely, Mehun, Montereau, Montargis, Blois, Amboise, -and other small towns, where every honour was paid him. - -While he was hunting at Amboise, a thorn pierced his leg, through -boot and hose, and gave him such pain that he was for a time very -ill.--During his residence at Amboise, the lord de Lorraine was married -to mademoiselle de Bourbon, sister to the constable of France. Great -feasts were displayed on the occasion, and the court of the donjon of -the castle was covered with an awning of cloth, to keep off the rays of -the sun. In the evening of that day were great maskings and mummeries, -with morris-dancers richly dressed, and divers pastimes. - -These feastings being over, the king departed, very early one morning, -for Romorantin[55], where he was also grandly entertained by the lady, -his mother. While with her, he received intelligence that the Swiss -had entered Dauphiny, near to Briançon, and burnt a village close to -Château Dauphin; on which, he took a hasty leave of his mother, and -set off suddenly for Bourges, where he made a public entry. The king -departed, on the morrow, in haste, for Moulins, where the duchess -of Bourbon handsomely received him,--and his entry was splendid for -so small a town; for there were triumphant cars, filled with the -handsomest ladies of the country, representations of ships and wild -beasts, mounted by the beauties of the town, who preceded the king on -his entry. The king left Moulins for Lyon, where a most magnificent -entry was prepared for him. He gave there his final orders respecting -the provision and stores, which were in a state of forwardness to -be transported over the Alps, for the prosecution of the war in the -Milanese. During his absence in Italy, he nominated his mother, the -duchess of Anjou and Maine, countess of Angoulême, &c. regent of the -kingdom. - -Shortly after, the king departed from Lyon, and went to Grenoble, where -he made a handsome entry, and staid there until his preparations should -be completed. About this period, the young son of Frederic late king -of Naples died: he had already commenced a warlike career; and had he -lived I believe he would have made a figure as a warrior, for he was -very courageous and virtuous. - -When the king set out from Grenoble, he passed through Embrun, although -his army, or the greater part, had taken the road through the small -town of Duissant, for there had been formed stores of provision on all -that line of march. The king halted at Guillestre[56], and afterward at -Saint Paul[57], and then traversed a road so bad that it was thought -no man had ever before attempted it. Great difficulties attended this -march, and the poor infantry suffered much; for as the artillery was to -pass this road, the cannon were dismounted, and dragged by men over the -rocks. - -During this time, the pope had sent fifteen hundred horse, well -appointed, under the command of Prospero Colonna, to join the forces -of Maximilian, in the hope of surprising the king before he could pass -the mountains; but Prospero, ignorant how near he was to the French, -or that they had succeeded in passing the Alps, had halted at a town -in Piedmont called Villa-franca[58]. Of this circumstance, a peasant -of that country had informed one of the king's gentlemen, named the -lord de la Morette, and that, as Prospero was quite unsuspicious of -the French being so near, it would be easy to surprise him. The lord -de la Morette lost no time to carry this news to the marshal de la -Palisse, the lord d'Aubigny, the lord d'Imbercourt, Bayard and others, -who all instantly agreed to follow the lord d'Imbercourt in the -attempt to surprise Colonna. He had sent forward one of his archers -to reconnoitre, who reported, that as Colonna and his men were just -sitting down to dinner, and entirely off their guard, an immediate -attack would be necessary: d'Imbercourt sent, therefore, to hasten the -march of La Palisse and the others. - -Notwithstanding this, d'Imbercourt boldly advanced to enter Villa -Franca,--when as his trumpet was within the gates, and had sounded his -charge, his horse's neck was inclosed within them; but the men at arms -came to his relief, by crossing their lances over the horse, and put to -death all who had opposed them at the gate. - -They galloped up the streets, shouting out 'France, France!' and -advanced to where Colonna was at dinner: a sharp conflict now took -place,--but the lord de la Palisse and the others arrived, who soon -ended it, by making Colonna prisoner, and slaying great numbers of his -men. All his baggage was pillaged, and very many fine horses gained -that were in the stables of the town. Prospero Colonna was carried, -with the other prisoners, to the king of France, and thence sent into -confinement at the castle of Montagu, belonging to the lord de la -Palisse. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 55: Romorantin,--15 leagues from Amboise, 11 from Blois.] - -[Footnote 56: Guillestre,--near Mont-Dauphin, in Dauphiny.] - -[Footnote 57: St Paul,--a village in Dauphiny.] - -[Footnote 58: Villa-franca,--16 miles SSW. of Turin.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXVII. - - THE KING OF FRANCE PURSUES THE SWISS WITH HIS WHOLE ARMY.--THE TOWN - AND CASTLE OF NOVARA SURRENDER TO THE KING. - - -The pope, when he heard of the defeat of Prospero Colonna and his army, -and that he was sent prisoner to France, was very much surprised, and -not without reason; for he never had imagined that the king of France -would attempt to cross the Alps where he had, and for some time would -not believe it. - -The Swiss cantoned at Susa, Villaine, Rivoli and other parts, hearing -of what had passed at Villa-franca, retreated toward Milan followed by -the French as far as Turin, whence the duke of Savoy came out to meet -the king, and gave him a handsome reception. The king, having received -from the duke of Savoy five large pieces of artillery, continued -his pursuit of the Swiss who had passed the Po in an extraordinary -hurry,--for they had no boats, nor any means but cords to drag their -artillery and baggage over, with which they marched day and night. - -They burnt the castle of Chivazzo, and part of that small town, -belonging to the duke of Savoy, which lay on their line of march, -killing many of the inhabitants and plundering the town, because they -would not afford them provision, nor allow them a passage through -Chivazzo. Some of the Swiss were slain, that had remained behind to -pillage. - -In this interval, the lord de Prie, with a body of Genoese, arrived at -Alexandria and other towns, which he sacked, although their inhabitants -had fled,--but they were deserving of punishment for the many tricks -they had before played the French. - -The french army kept pursuing the Swiss, who seemed inclined to march -to Jurea[59], but, turning short, entered Novara. The king arrived with -his army at Vercelli[60], where it was rumoured that an agreement -would take place between the king and Swiss. The lord bastard of -Savoy and the lord de Lautrec, with others, were charged with this -commission; but notwithstanding this, the king continued his march -after the Swiss, who had quitted Novara, and taken the road to Milan. -He was now joined by a considerable reinforcement of Lansquenets, -called The Black Band[61], very well equipped. The king advanced to -Novara, which was instantly assaulted by Pedro de Navarre and others, -and surrendered to the king's obedience. - -In the absence of the king, his queen was brought to bed, at Amboise, -of a fair daughter, who was christened Louisa,--and soon afterwards, -her portrait was sent to him, while engaged in his Italian campaign. - -The surrender of the town and castle of Novara saved them from pillage, -by the king's commands,--who pursuing his march toward Milan, went -to Bufalora. Here the agreement between the king and Swiss was made -public, which had been accomplished by means of a large sum of money -paid down, according to a promise made them by the king. The Swiss, in -consequence, swore fidelity to him, and signed the treaty,--but which -they did not keep, notwithstanding their oaths and engagements, but -falsified both. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 59: Jurea,--on the great Dora in Piedmont.] - -[Footnote 60: Vercelli,--30 miles SW. of Milan, 38 NE. of Turin.] - -[Footnote 61: Black band,--under the command of Ruberta della Marchia, -from lower Germany. - -Guicciardini. - -I must refer the reader to Guicciardini, &c. for further details of -these wars in Italy.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXVIII. - - THE KING OF FRANCE DEFEATS THE SWISS ARMY AT MARIGNANO[62], ON THE - FEAST-DAY OF THE EXALTATION OF THE CROSS.--OF THE CRUEL BATTLE AND - SLAUGHTER OF THE FRENCH AND SWISS. - - -The king of France, thinking that he had secured the Swiss by the -payment of the sum agreed on between them and the lord de Lautrec, -marched his army to Marignano, beyond Milan; but it was not long -before he found that he had miscalculated on their keeping the promises -they had made him. In the interval between the signing of the late -treaty and the payment of the money, the Swiss had resolved to surprise -the king's army,--induced thereto by the remonstrances and preachments -of the cardinal of Sion, who had corrupted them at the instigation of -the emperor Maximilian, and of the inhabitants of the Milanese, who -had given them corslets and other armour, together with the fairest -promises. The Swiss believing that they would be joined by every -Italian, and that, if successful, they might acquire territories of a -great extent in a fertile country, and be feared and redoubted by all -the world, caused them to act in the treacherous manner they did. - -The king learning that the Swiss were turned against him, was much -mortified; for he concluded, that at that moment they were receiving -the money agreed on. However, like a hardy knight, he was not cast -down, but gave his orders for the forming of his army, to receive the -enemy with the most advantage. While thus employed, news was brought -him that a large body of infantry, well armed had marched out of Milan, -to join the Swiss in the meditated attack against him. In fact, about -three or four o'clock in that afternoon, the Swiss advanced on the -king's army, but were received with such valour that many were more -inclined to seek for a retreat than to persevere in the combat. - -The king, who commanded the main body, on seeing the Swiss advance, -charged them in person, attended by his gentlemen, and defeated one -band. The french volunteers now placed themselves in the position of -the Lansquenets, who had in part turned their backs; but they must not -be blamed for this, for they had before heard of the agreement made -with the Swiss, and, without any explanation, had been led on to an -unexpected battle, which made them believe that they were betrayed by -the king, who wanted to have them destroyed. But when they saw the -volunteers thus step boldly into their ranks, they recovered courage, -and fought with the utmost bravery. - -The french volunteers did wonders; and although they were not numerous, -amounting to no more than two thousand, they defeated a band of Swiss -consisting of double their number. Great feats of arms were done at -this battle, with battle-axes, lances, and two-handed-swords, so that -for a long time it was doubtful on which side victory would remain. - -The Swiss behaved with the utmost courage, and charged the main body -and reserve of the French with an impetuosity that astonished them, -in the hopes of succeeding as they had before done at Novara. The -artillery of the French was not asleep, and the Swiss made an attempt -to seize it, but were repulsed with much loss,--for not a cannon was -fired without killing numbers of them. - -This battle lasted until the going down of the sun,--and both sides -fought as long as the dust and light allowed them to see each other. -Some, thinking to retire to their own camp, found themselves in that -of the enemy; but what caused great confusion was the Swiss shouting -out 'France, France!' and then attacking the French. The night was not -long. The king was constantly with his men, giving them every sort of -encouragement, by words and example. He was particularly anxious about -his artillery, which was well guarded by a party of Lansquenets. Having -visited the different divisions of his army, he reposed himself in his -armour, on the carriage of a cannon; and I may with truth assert, that -if the king had not been present at this engagement the French would -have had more than enough to do. - -On the morrow, the 14th of September, in the year 1515, and the feast -of the Exaltation of the Cross, the Swiss, enraged against the French, -advanced on them by day-break (notwithstanding their loss on the -preceding night had been more than they supposed) with an eagerness -as if they had been going to a dance, and made their charge with -valour and steadiness. The conflict was long and doubtful; but the -king's artillery, where he was in person, did the greatest service, -particularly on a strong body that kept firmly united until their -losses were so considerable, the remainder turned their backs, and -fled for Milan. The other divisions of the Swiss made now little -resistance; and to make short of the matter, all that remained were put -to death, or taken prisoners; and had not the dust been great, fewer -would have escaped,--for it was so thick they could not see many yards -before them[63]. - -The heat that day was very oppressive; and the king and his lords -suffered greatly from thirst, for there was no water near that was -pure,--for all the springs and streams were discoloured with blood, of -which, nevertheless, they were forced to drink; at length, some clear -water was brought them. - -The king was as much rejoiced that the Swiss had renewed the battle, on -the following day, as a huntsman when he lays blinkes in the chace of a -stag. The Swiss left full sixteen thousand dead on the field, who did -not lose their lives like children, but as men of true courage; and all -the roads toward Milan and Como were full of those who in their flight -had died of the wounds they had received in battle. - -This was the first victory of king Francis I. and was very marvellous -it proved so great, considering how much he had been deceived in the -Swiss by their treaty some days prior to the combat. It is worthy of -remembrance,--for since the days of Julius Cæsar, this nation, so -valorous in war, never lost in battle so many as sixteen thousand men. -Louis XI. had defeated, when dauphin, a body of three or four thousand: -a duke of Milan had also conquered a body of two thousand, which -inclines me so much to exalt this victory of the king over enemies so -determined and numerous, for thirty-six thousand men had marched out of -Milan. - -Toward the end of the combat, a reinforcement of Venetians arrived, -which the constable of Bourbon had gone to seek. The troops made all -diligence, were well accoutred and ready for battle; but they found the -Swiss defeated, and flying in all directions, for Como and Milan. - -The Venetians pursued the enemy, and showed themselves men of courage, -particularly their commander, sir Bartholomew d'Alviano and the son -of the count de Petigliano, who did wonders; but as he was attempting -to leap a wide ditch, his horse fell upon him,--and he was surrounded -and slain by the Swiss, for none were near enough to prevent them. The -lord d'Imbercourt was also killed fighting valiantly; he had rushed -among the ranks of the Swiss, like to an enraged wild boar, and was -of a most warlike nature, with the intrepidity of a lion, as many can -testify, who have seen him engaged on former occasions. Francis lord of -Bourbon was inclosed by the Swiss and put to death, his men not being -nigh to rescue him. The prince of Tallemont, the count de Sancerre, the -lord de Bussi, the captain Mouy, with a very great number of lords and -gentlemen of renown, whose courage had many times been displayed in -war, were killed at this battle. - -During the engagement, neither baggage nor artillery were in danger -of being taken, for they were excellently well defended by those who -ran as much risk as others engaged in the main battle. Many were well -mounted, so that, if fortune had been adverse, the poor adventurers -might have been able to support their friends, and have renewed the -fight. - -The king made, this day, several new knights. During the conflict, -the cardinal of Sion fled, on seeing the quantities of dead, -under pretence, as he told Maximilian Sforza, of bringing back -reinforcements, but returned when too late. - -In the course of this great butchery, a body of Swiss retreated toward -a cassino of the van-guard, where was posted the duke of Bourbon, -constable of France: he instantly pursued them, had the cassino set -on fire, and unless they could have flown through the flames, not one -could have escaped. May God have mercy on their souls, and of all those -who fell on this day! It is a great pity that it should be in the power -of two or three persons to cause the deaths of so many human creatures, -whom they seem to estimate no more than as so many sheep. Alas! they -are not beasts, and have sense and reason, or at least ought to have, -although sometimes their strength fails through wicked intentions. - -Some of the wounded Swiss fled to Milan, others to Como: those who -entered Milan told the citizens that they had gained the battle, on -which they were led to the great hospital to be cured,--but when the -Lansquenets afterwards entered that city, they finished to cure them in -a strange and terrible manner. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 62: Marignano,--eleven miles SE. from Milan.] - -[Footnote 63: The marshal de Trivulce said that he had been at eighteen -pitched battles, but that they were children's play compared with this.] - - - - -CHAP. XXXIX. - - MILAN SURRENDERS TO THE KING OF FRANCE.--THE CASTLE, BESIEGED BY THE - FRENCH, SURRENDERS ON CAPITULATION. - - -Not long after this victory, the townsmen of Milan waited on the king, -to beg his mercy and pardon for what they had done, and to present -him with the keys of their gates. The king mercifully received them, -and forgave them, but not without making them pay a heavy fine. The -french army now marched to lay siege to the castle of Milan, into which -Maximilian Sforza with a body of Swiss, and others whom he collected, -had thrown themselves. The artillery made, within a few days, several -breaches in the outworks; and Pedro de Navarre had worked his mines -under the walls of the castle with such success great part of them fell -down. - -Maximilian, perceiving himself in danger, made offers to capitulate, -when the king sent his chancellor with other gentlemen to treat with -him. They were all handsomely dressed: the chancellor had on a flowing -robe of raised cloth of gold. Having entered the castle, they instantly -began a negotiation with Maximilian for peace, and proceeded in it so -far that he accompanied them to the king's camp, where the treaty was -concluded, on condition that the Swiss in the castle should be allowed -to march away with their baggage in safety, and be paid the whole of -the money that had been promised them by the king of France. - -Maximilian, by this treaty, resigned all pretensions to the duchy of -Milan[64] to the king, who received him with kindness, and had him -escorted to France, where he was henceforth to reside. The king made a -brilliant entry into Milan, and staid there some time, during which he -was magnificently feasted by the nobles and gentlemen of the town and -duchy. - -In regard to the inhabitants of Pavia, they escaped being pillaged from -their poverty, for all of the richer sort had retired into Milan so -soon as they heard of the king's successes,--and a treaty was concluded -with them by means of a sum of money. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 64: This was brought about by the constable of Bourbon, who -bargained that Maximilian should enjoy a yearly pension of 30,000 -ducats, &c. - -See the french and italian historians, and particularly Mr. Roscoe's -Lorenzo de Medici and Leo X.] - - - - -CHAP. XL. - - POPE LEO X. AND THE KING OF FRANCE MEET AT BOLOGNA, TO CONFER ON THE - STATE OF AFFAIRS.--THE KING RETURNS TO FRANCE. - - -About this period died the commander of the venetian forces, the -lord Bartholomew d'Alviano. His death was caused by a fever, from -overheating himself. He was much regretted for his valour and his -attachment to the french interest. The Lansquenets received from the -king, at two different times, double pay. And during his residence at -Milan, a treaty was concluded by him with the Swiss-cantons, by means -of a large sum of money paid them, notwithstanding they had been so -lately conquered by the French. - -When this treaty was signed, ambassadors were sent from the pope to -the king, to invite him to Bologna, that they might hold a conference -on the state of the affairs of Italy, and for the mutual strengthening -of their friendship and alliance. The king, in consequence, left -Milan with a numerous attendance, especially of men at arms, and -arrived at Bologna, where he had a welcome reception from the pope, -who entertained him handsomely,--and they had frequent and long -conversations together. - -One day, the pope performed a solemn service in the cathedral, at which -the king assisted. It lasted some time; after which, an alliance was -concluded between them. The pope gave up to the king several towns -that belonged to him in right of the duchy of Milan. He gave also a -cardinal's hat to the bishop of Constance, brother to the grand master -of France. - -When every thing had been concluded between the pope and the king, he -returned to Milan, and thence took the road to France, leaving the -duke of Bourbon, constable of France, his lieutenant-general of the -Milanese[65]. He made all diligence in crossing the Alps, and arrived -at La Baûme, where the queen and his lady-mother were waiting for -him. He was joyfully received there, as well as in many other towns in -Provence. On leaving La Baûme, they all came together to Avignon, and -had a handsome entry. Thence they proceeded to Lyon, where the queen -made her public entry, and was received with all demonstrations of joy. - -At this time died Ferdinand king of Arragon, who, during his reign, -had made many conquests, more especially over the Moors, whom he had -subjected to his obedience. At this period, also, died the magnificent -Lorenzo de Medici, brother to pope Leo X., who had lately married -a sister to the duke of Savoy, and sister also to the countess of -Angoulême, mother to Francis I. king of France. He had been appointed -generalissimo of the army of the church. - -Nearly at this period, a furious battle was fought between the Sophi, -called Ishmael, and the grand Turk, and won by the latter, when more -than one hundred and sixty thousand men were slain[66]. The Sophi, -however, undismayed, collected fresh troops, and marched a considerable -army against the Turk, whom he, in his turn, defeated, and drove him -beyond the walls of Constantinople into Greece. The Sophi remained -in possession of all the conquered country, while the Turk was like -a captive within the territories of Christendom, and the war was -continued on both sides. - -FOOTNOTES: - -[Footnote 65: Is not this a mistake? was not Lautrec governor of the -Milanese? and who offended the inhabitants by his severity.] - -[Footnote 66: In the 'Art de Verifier les Dates,' I find that Selim I. -emperor of the Ottomans, marches in the year 1514 against Ishmael king -of Persia, defeats him in the plain of Chaldéron, and gains Tauris. War -was continued between them until the year 1516, when Selim turned his -arms against Kansou sultan of Egypt.] - - - - -CHAP. XLI. - - THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN ASSEMBLES A LARGE ARMY, TO ATTEMPT THE CONQUEST - OF THE MILANESE, AND TO DRIVE THE FRENCH OUT OF ITALY.--THE CONSTABLE - OF BOURBON, LIEUTENANT-GENERAL FOR THE KING IN ITALY, MARCHES AGAINST - HIM. - - -While the king of France was at Lyon, and toward the end of Lent, -in the year 1516, another war broke out in Italy, through the usual -manœuvres of the emperor Maximilian: he, at this time, was excited by -the angels of king Henry of England, which had not for a long time -flown in his country,--and by their means he subsidised the cantons of -Swisserland and the Grisons. He also urged the citizens of Milan to -revolt, principally through Galeas Visconti; and thinking every thing -in a good train, he marched toward Milan with a body of troops that he -had collected, under the brother of Maximilian Sforza, now resident in -France according to the treaty that had been concluded with him after -the battle of Marignano. - -The emperor having, as I have said, assembled an army, marched it from -the plains of Verona to Lodi; but the constable, whom the king had -left, as his lieutenant, in the Milanese, hearing of this, collected -as many men together as the shortness of the time would allow, and -advanced to meet the enemy. His numbers were not great, on account -of this expedition of the emperor being unexpected, although he had -received hints of his intention, some seven weeks before, but he was -not certain of the truth. - -The constable marched his army to the river Adda, and found the enemy -posted on the opposite bank. A short time prior to this, the king of -France had summoned some of the nobles of Milan to come to him, who -proceeded as far as Suza, to the number of thirty-seven, when they -held a consultation; and on the morrow, thirty-three of them fled to -join the emperor,--but the other four remained loyal to the French, -continued the road to Lyon, and related to the king the shameful -conduct of the others. - -To return to our subject; the duke of Bourbon, when on the Adda, -dispatched messengers to the Swiss-cantons, to hasten the troops the -king had agreed for,--and in consequence, about nine or ten thousand -infantry for the preservation of Milan, marched to Jurea. The duke -of Bourbon was preparing to attack the imperialists, when he heard -that Milan was on the point of a revolt; and as he had not sufficient -force to meet the army of the emperor with advantage, he was advised -to retreat to Milan, although he was himself most desirous to try the -event of a combat, and wait the coming of the Swiss, who remained very -long at Jurea. - -The duke retreated with his army back to Milan with all diligence, -to the great surprise of the inhabitants: he immediately had strict -inquiries made after the authors of the intended revolt: several were -confined in prison, and many were beheaded. The other citizens, seeing -that the French were completely masters of their town, and that they -were not the strongest, determined to suffer all extremities should -the French continue their ill treatment. - -The emperor, when he heard of this sudden retreat of the French, -thought he had already conquered them, and, crossing the Adda, marched -his army toward Milan, and fixed his quarters near to Marignano. -You may easily imagine how much the burghers of Milan were now -alarmed,--for the constable had one of the suburbs burnt, to prevent -the enemy from fortifying it. - -A few days after, the duke of Bourbon sent presents of cloths of gold, -and of silk, to the principal leaders of the Swiss, to hasten their -march, which had the desired effect,--and they soon appeared before the -castle, wherein they were joyfully received by the constable. He had -immediately Milan strengthened with ditches and outworks, so that it -was much stronger than ever. The emperor advanced with his army, now -very numerous, before the walls, and saluted them with a large train -of artillery, which was as boldly returned from the ramparts by the -garrison. - - - - -CHAP. XLII. - - THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN, FINDING THAT HE COULD NOT SUCCEED IN HIS - ATTEMPT ON MILAN, MARCHES AWAY. - - -The emperor was much surprised that his army should be in the utmost -distress for provision, as he expected that Milan would have opened -its gates on his appearing before them, according to the promises he -had received from Galeas Visconti: but just the contrary happened; -and as he had heard of the reinforcements the French had obtained, -and felt how much his own army suffered from want of provision, and -also that he had now no great quantity of english angels, he retreated -toward Bergamo, and summoned that town to surrender. The inhabitants, -perceiving that no succours could be expected from Milan, raised a -sum of money among themselves, and offered it to the emperor, on his -marching away. He thence retreated toward Lodi, plundered and burnt -great part of the town, and put to death many of the inhabitants, -which was a great pity. - -The duke of Bourbon followed close on the rear of the emperor's army, -when skirmishes frequently happened, to the loss of the imperialists -in killed and wounded. Maximilian, finding his situation become -disagreeable, went away under pretence that the death of the king of -Hungary was the cause of his sudden departure, leaving his army in a -very doubtful state, which then was broken up, and the men retreated to -their homes. - -The emperor, however, pocketed fifty thousand angels the king of -England had sent to his aid, thinking that he was in the quiet -possession of the Milanese,--but he was far enough from it. - -About this time, the king of France sent some of the gentlemen of his -bedchamber to assist the duke of Bourbon in managing the affairs of the -Milanese. - - - - -CHAP. XLIII. - - THE KING OF FRANCE GOES ON A PILGRIMAGE TO THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY - HANDKERCHIEF IN CHAMBERY.--A TREATY OF PEACE CONCLUDED BETWEEN HIM AND - THE ARCHDUKE KING OF SPAIN. - - -About Whitsuntide, in this year of 1516, the king of France departed -from Lyon, accompanied by many gentlemen, to fulfil a vow he had made -of a pilgrimage to the church of the Holy Handkerchief in Chambery. As -he had vowed to perform it on foot, he set out accordingly, with his -train of attendants. They formed a handsome spectacle; for they were -all splendidly dressed in fancy habiliments, decorated with plenty of -feathers. Thus they followed the king on foot as far as Chambery, where -he met the duke of Bourbon on his return from Italy. This meeting gave -much joy to both,--and the king was entertained at Chambery, during his -stay there, by the duke of Savoy. - -At this time, a treaty was concluded between the Spaniards and the -garrison in the castle of Brescia, who marched away with their arms -and baggage. The Venetians, to whom the place belonged, immediately -took possession of the town and castle, conformably to an agreement -made with the late king of France, Louis XII. Somewhat prior to -this, several counts in Germany collected bodies of men, and entered -Lorraine, where they committed much mischief. The cause of this warfare -was a claim the Lansquenets made on certain mines in that country, on -the borders of Germany, which they attempted to gain; but the duke of -Lorraine repulsed them, and nothing more was done. These counts waited -afterwards on the king of France, at Tours, and were presented to him -by the lord de Florenge, son to the captain de la Marche. - -On the king's return from Savoy, he went into Touraine. About this -time, the king of Navarre died: he was son to the lord d'Albret, and -had been driven out of his kingdom by Ferdinand the Catholic, as has -been before mentioned. A treaty of peace was now concluded between the -king of France and the archduke king of Spain, which was proclaimed at -Paris and throughout the realm. One of the conditions was, that the -king of Spain should marry the princess Louisa, only daughter to the -king of France. - -A conference on the subject of peace was holden at Noyon. The -commissioners from the king of France were, the grand master, the -bishop of Paris, the president Olivier, and others,--and the great -lords of Flanders and of Spain, on the part of the king of Spain. The -lord de Ravenstein was afterwards sent by him, as his ambassador to the -king of France, grandly accompanied by the barons of Picardy. - -On Saturday, the 6th day of October, in the before-mentioned year, the -king arrived in his good city of Paris, where he was received with the -usual demonstrations of joy. On the morrow, he departed for the abbey -of St Denis, in order to replace the saints in their shrines, which, -at his request, had been taken down for the general welfare of his -realm, and to return them his humble thanks for the great victory he -had obtained through their means and intercessions. This was the usual -custom for the kings of France to perform, in person, on their return -from foreign wars. - - -THE END. - - - - -NOTES AND EMENDATIONS. - - -Page 6. line 12. _Lord de Guise._] Claude, second son of René the -second, duke of Lorraine, was ancestor of the dukes of Guise.

Although he afterwards made another entry, as shall be more -fully detailed, he, however, showed himself this day the true king and -potent<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span> lord of Naples, and went thence to the castle of Capua.</p> - -<p>As some of the partisans of king Alphonso still held the citadel of -Naples, the Castel Nuovo, and the Castel del Ovo, king Charles ordered -them to be instantly attacked, although one side of the citadel was -washed by the sea. He had his battering artillery pointed against the -Castel Nuovo; and the captains of the guard for the king were sir -Gabriel de Montfaucon, Jean de la Grange, and others of rank.</p> - -<p>Not to prolong matters, the citadel was gained after a very severe -attack; and the Germans, Neapolitans, and Spaniards, of the party -adverse to the king of France, burnt the outworks and hastily retreated -to join their associates in the Castel Nuovo. In the citadel were found -the largest cannons that had ever been seen, with such quantities of -other things of an extraordinary appearance that it was more than eight -days before the place could be cleared, by employing numbers of people -and carts.</p> - -<p>Wednesday, the 25th day of February, the king, after hearing mass -in the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span> church of the Annonciada went to dine with the lord de -Montpensier, and thence, accompanied by his lords, repaired to the -citadel to examine how it had been battered, and to consult on the -best means of conquering the Castel Nuovo. The next day the garrison -demanded a parley, on which the artillery ceased firing,—and the lord -Angilbert of Cleves, the lord of Ligny, the bailiff of Dijon, and the -great chamberlain to the queen advanced to confer with them. The first -demand of the garrison was, that the king would grant them a truce for -twenty-four hours, which was cheerfully acceded to: the next, that -they might, on the morrow, march away with arms and baggage, which was -refused.</p> - -<p>On the twenty-four hours being expired, the artillery played more -fiercely than before,—and it was a pitiful sight to view the ruins of -this Castel Nuovo, which was exceedingly strong. The besieged fired -a piece of artillery against the church of the Franciscans of the -observantine order, which broke through the roof, but did not the least -mischief to crowds of per<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>sons, of both sexes, then in the church. The -incessant firing of the batteries lasted from Thursday to the Monday -following,—and there were so many breaches, for the king was there -in person, that the garrison again demanded a cessation of arms for -another parley. The lord Angilbert of Cleves and the bailiff of Dijon, -who spoke German, met the deputies from the castle. They demanded -permission to march away in safety with their baggage, to receive -three months pay to serve the king, if it should be agreeable to him; -otherwise, to receive passports for them to go whither-soever they -pleased.</p> - -<p>The cessation of arms was renewed from day to day, as the parley was -prolonged by the garrison until the 3d of March, in expectation of -being relieved by king Alphonso. But when they found all hopes of -relief vain, and that the batteries were about to recommence with more -violence than ever, they were forced to abandon themselves to the mercy -of the king, into whose hands they surrendered themselves. He allowed -them to keep their baggage; but all artillery, stores, and provisions, -were<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span> to remain in the castle, which he immediately re-garrisoned with -his troops, and with able captains, for its defence.</p> - -<p>During the king's stay at that pleasant place Poggio-Réalé, the -daughter of the duchess of Melfy<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a>, in company with her mother, came -thither, mounted on a superb courser of La Puglia, and throwing the -bridle on his neck, made him gallop four or five long courses; after -which she made him curvet and bound, as well as the most excellent -rider could have done, which pleased the king very much,—and he made -her a handsome present.</p> - -<p>Monday, the 4th of March, the king had the Castel del Ovo besieged, -and strongly battered on the land side; the others were surrounded by -the sea. This day, the king heard mass at the carthusian convent, and -dined with the lord of Clerieux<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a>: he afterwards visited the siege -of the Castel del Ovo, of which the artillery had already destroyed -great part,—for the canoniers had performed their duty won<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>derfully -well, insomuch that about five o'clock in the afternoon the garrison -demanded a parley. The king being there in person, consented to it, and -sent thither the lords de Foix and de Miolan, who having heard their -proposals, carried them to the king while at supper.</p> - -<p>Thursday, the 5th of March, the king again returned to the siege, -after his dinner; and while he was in the trenches with his artillery, -the prince of Tarentum waited on him. The lord de Guise, the lord -de Ligny, the master of the household Brillac, had advanced to meet -the prince, and remained as hostages for his safe return after the -conference. The king and prince were both sumptuously dressed, and -conversed by themselves for some time, in a garden adjoining to the -park of artillery, to all appearance with great politeness. When the -conversation was ended, the king called to him the lord de Montpensier, -the lord de Foix, the lord de la Trimouille, the lord de Miolan, -the mareschal de Gie, and several others, with whom he talked for a -considerable time, surrounded by his guards. When it was over, the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> -prince took leave of the king, and returned to his galley, which was -anchored off the shore, attended by many of the french lords, according -to the king's orders. On his arrival at the shore, he took leave of -these lords, commending himself to the good graces of their king; and -when he had embarked in his galley they went back to relate to the king -all that had passed, and his praises of the reception he had had. On -this day the artillery did not play on either side.</p> - -<p>Friday, the 6th of March, the king, having heard mass, went to dine -with the lord de Clerieux,—and this day many of the garrison (among -whom were several of the wounded) left the Castel del Ovo. The -Spaniards went to the prince of Tarentum, and the Germans surrendered -themselves to the king, having passports for the purpose. The lord de -Cressol, sir Gabriel de Montfaucon, by the king's command, entered the -castle with a body of men under arms, and archers, to take charge of -it, and the numberless stores within it.</p> - -<p>Saturday, the 7th of March, the king went to examine the Castel del -Ovo, and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> then departed to lay siege to the opposite castle. Towards -evening, the prince of Tarentum paid another visit to the king, near -to the park of artillery,—and the lords de Guise and de Ligny were -hostages for his safe return. This conference was short, for it was -late; and when the prince returned to his galley the above lords -rejoined the king. It is worthy of remark, that on this day the prince -of Salernum, who had been, five years a fugitive from Naples, through -fear of king Alphonso, returned thither, and recovered a young son who -had been, by Alphonso, confined in prison,—for the cardinal of San -Pietro ad vincula had paid a very large sum for his ransom.</p> - -<p>On Sunday, the 8th of March, the king having heard mass, and dined, -went to amuse himself at the siege, and sent the governor of Paris, -and the esquire Galiot, to summon the garrison to surrender, otherwise -he would shortly batter the walls about their ears. They refused to -comply; and, in consequence, the batteries were played with such effect -that, on the Thursday following, the 12th, they knew not where to -shelter themselves,—and the go<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>vernor was constrained to come from -the castle to speak with the king, then in the trenches. The governor, -bareheaded and on his knees, besought the king, with uplifted hands, to -grant a truce until the morrow, and to receive the garrison mercifully, -which was granted. The governor was a handsome, tall figure, with white -hairs; and, on having this answer, he returned by sea to the castle, -accompanied by the prince of Salernum and the mareschal de Gie, to -parley with the garrison in the castle. Shortly after, the captains -Claude de Rabaudanges and the lord de la Vernade were appointed -governors of this castle,—and nothing was taken out of it.</p> - -<p>The king, on the following sunday, after hearing mass, returned to the -castle of Capua, and remained some days, to receive the homages of the -princes and princesses of the realm, together with those of the nobles -and inhabitants as well of Naples as of the Terra di Lavora, Calabria, -La Puglia, and of other parts subjected to the crown of Naples. He had -there establish<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>ed his chancery, and courts of justice and finance, -with presidents like as in France. The president Guennay was the -chancellor, having the king's secretaries under him, with great and -smaller seals for all requisite acts. He ordered money to be coined of -gold and silver, and other metal; such as crowns, ducats, and various -pieces, both double and single, having the arms of France impressed on -one side, and on the reverse the arms of Sicily, quartered with the -small crosses of Jerusalem.</p> - -<p>The king now appointed many new officers for the city of Naples, and -in other towns,—namely, judges, masters of the mint, and of various -descriptions. During this interval, he visited the different churches -in Naples, and every thing worth seeing there and in its neighbourhood. -While thus employed, he had many very fine entertainments given him by -the nobility in Naples, and others,—but it would be tiresome to detail -them all.</p> - -<p>News arrived on the Wednesday, that Gaieta was taken by the french -troops: in consequence of which, the king sent the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> seneschal of -Beaucaire on the morrow to take the government of it. During the -month of April, the king inspected his artillery, and that which had -been found in the castles of Naples: the greater part of the last was -transported to France. The lord d'Aubigny left Naples this month for -Calabria, accompanied by his men at arms and a large body of Germans. -The 15th of April, the king, after hearing mass in the church of the -Annonciada, was confessed, and then touched and cured great numbers -that were afflicted with the evil,—a disorder that abounded much all -over Italy,—when the spectators were greatly edified at the powers of -such an extraordinary gift. This day the lord Virgilio Orsini and the -count of Petilano waited on the king for the first time since they had -been made prisoners.</p> - -<p>The next day, which was Maunday-Thursday, the 16th of April, the king -heard divine service in the church of St John, a handsome building, -and attended (as if in France) on thirteen poor persons, who were -washed and waited on at dinner, and presented with thirteen crowns. -The sermon<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> was preached on that and the two following days by master -Pinelli, a doctor of divinity in the university of Paris.</p> - -<p>On Easter-day, the 19th of April, the king was confessed in the church -of St Peter, adjoining to his lodgings, and then touched for the evil a -second time; after which he heard mass in the church of St John, and in -the evening a sermon by doctor Pinelli.—Wednesday, the 22d, the king -went to see the tiltings, the lists for which had been erected near -to a church founded by the Anjou-race of kings of Sicily, where were -many of the nobility and ladies of Italy. These justings lasted from -Wednesday until the first of May: the holders of them were Châtillon -and Bourdillon, and the assailants were very numerous,—and excellent -deeds of arms were done on each side.</p> - -<p>On Sunday, being the feast of St Januarius, the king heard mass in the -cathedral or church of St Januarius, where many cardinals, bishops, -and prelates attended. The head of St Januarius was publicly displayed -to the king, and some of his blood in a glass bottle: it was congealed -like<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> a stone, as the king proved by touching it with a small rod of -silver; but no sooner was it placed near to the head than it began -instantly to melt and become liquid, to the astonishment of many who -viewed this miracle.</p> - -<p>The prelates of the church said, that by means of this miraculous head -and blood of St Januarius, they were made acquainted with the success -of their petitions to God; for when their prayers had been propitious, -the blood became liquid,—but when otherwise, it remained hard. They -were likewise by this means informed as to the dispositions of their -prince, and whether he was to reign over them or not, which seemed very -extraordinary.</p> - -<p>On Monday, the 4th of May, the king sent Jean du Bois, Fontaines, and -the master of the household de Bresse, to make an inventory of all the -stores, and other effects, in the Castel del Ovo,—for there appeared -to be such quantities of provision, and of other things, that the -value seemed inestimable. During this time, the king visited several -places in the neighbourhood of Naples; such as the grotto<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> which Virgil -had pierced with such subtile art through a high mountain on the -seashore of Naples, which is a wonderful thing, as there is no other -road but through this subterraneous passage, as all who have seen it -can testify. A little further on is the Solfaterra, where sulphur is -made,—and there are natural fires beneath the surface that are always -burning: the king saw them make sulphur. There are, likewise near, -many springs of hot water as well as of cold; and in a valley of this -mountain is a hole through which comes such an impetuous wind that it -supports in the air stones, and pieces of wood, that are thrown into -it,—and it is said that the heat is very great within this hole. The -king visited another remarkable spot where alum is made, and saw the -whole process. Near to this last place is a cavern having a deadly -quality; for whatever is thrown in perishes instantly, as was proved -before the king on an ass and cat, which, on being thrown in, were -suddenly killed<a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a>. The king, hav<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>ing seen all that was most curious, -returned to Naples for the night.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><p class="ph3">FOOTNOTES:</p> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_1_1" id="Footnote_1_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_1"><span class="label">[1]</span></a> Melfy.

He was dressed in royal robes, and made a most splendid and -triumphant entry, and thenceforward was called Charles Cæsar Augustus. -In his right hand was the globe, and his sceptre in the left,—and his -mantle was of fine scarlet trimmed with ermine, having a deep fall-down -collar, ornamented with ermines' tails also, with a brilliant crown on -his head. The horse he rode was as grandly caparisoned as possible,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> -to suit his state: and over his head was borne a splendid canopy by -the highest nobility of Naples, who were surrounded by the king's -valets richly dressed in cloth of gold: the provost of the household -with his archers on foot attended on him on each side.

In short, the entry was most magnificent; -and the nobility of Naples, with their ladies, presented to the king -their children of ten, twelve, and fifteen years of age, requesting of -him to make them knights, which he did with his own hand,—and it was a -splendid spectacle.</p> - -<p>The prelates and clergy came out to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> meet him in the richest copes, -bearing relics, and conducted him to the cathedral, where on the high -altar were displayed, as before, the head and blood of St Januarius.

Friday he<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span> -advanced to Ronciglione, and the same day entered Viterbo with his -whole army, where he was as well received as before.

Thence marched that gallant prince, -Charles VIII. of the name, king of France, accompanied by those valiant -captains before mentioned, and about eight or nine thousand courageous -men at arms, to meet from fifty to sixty thousand Lombards, Venetians, -Estradiots<a name="FNanchor_8_8" id="FNanchor_8_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_8_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a>, and others, his enemies. The marquis of Mantua was -commander of the Venetians: count Galeas Sforza was the representative -of his brother, Ludovico duke of Milan, and the lord of Ferrara -commanded the rest of the traitors, in company with other captains.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span></p> - -<p>The king was armed from head to foot in a manner becoming so great -a prince. Over his armour he wore a jacket, with short sleeves, of -a white and violet colour, besprinkled with crosses of Jerusalem. -His helmet was magnificently ornamented with feathers,—and he was -accoutred like a good man at arms, with sword, dagger, spear and -battle-axe. He was mounted on a powerful black horse, called Savoy, -whose caparison was of the same colours with the king's jacket, and -besprinkled with similar small crosses. The king was surrounded by very -able and trusty advisers to direct him, having under them about two -thousand men, who afterwards gave good proofs of their valour.</p> - -<p>When the french army had been properly arranged, and the artillery -was ready, they began to advance toward the enemy in such wise as the -ground served them. The Italians not knowing in what division of the -army the king had posted himself, sent a herald, under pretence of -asking something from him,—and the herald, on his return, told them -the manner<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span> in which the king was accoutred. They now began to move, -and taking advantage of a favourable situation, discharged a heavy -piece of artillery at the van of the french, which wounded and killed -several, although it did not break their ranks, nor cause any great -confusion. A sharp cannonading followed; but the king's artillery -did great mischief to the enemy, and killed one of their principal -cannoniers, as was known from a trumpeter that was soon after made -prisoner. The king's artillery was so well served that the Italians -were forced to retreat, having noticed the excellent order in which the -French were formed.</p> - -<p>It was wonderful to observe the cool and determined valour of the -gallant king, both in actions, and in speeches to those about his -person: 'How say you, my lords and friends? Are you not resolved to -serve me well to-day? and will you not live and die with me?' Then -having heard their answers, he continued, 'Be of good courage, and -not afraid; for although they be ten times our number,—which is the -case, as I know for certain,—yet we have justice on our side, for<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span> -which I put my confidence in God, that he will be pleased to give us -the victory over our enemies. I have also hopes that he will fight -this day on our side, and that, through his gracious favour, we shall -again triumph, as we have done throughout the whole of this expedition, -and return to France with honour to ourselves, through his merciful -kindness.' Such, or nearly similar, were the words with which this -valorous king consoled and encouraged all around him.</p> - -<p>The enemy were much surprised at the good order of the French; and -to endeavour to break it, they sent a detachment of Estradiots, and -some Albanians, across a hill, to fall on the baggage. Those who had -the guard of it had been very negligent in not keeping themselves -in readiness to resist an attack, by reason of some dispute among -themselves, for which they suffered; but it was not much, as shall be -told hereafter,—and the army remained unbroken.</p> - -<p>The Italians, seeing this, sent a herald to the king to demand a truce. -The king replied,—'If they wish for a truce, let them<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span> meet me between -the two armies.' But he afterward sent to them, to say, that if they -would, through friendship, allow him and his army a free passage to -France, it was all he wanted, otherwise he would force his passage in -spite of them.</p> - -<p>The Lombards and Venetians, hearing this message from the king's -herald, detained him, and resolved instantly to charge the French, -like madmen. They were particularly desirous to attack the division -where the king was, to put him to death,—but God was that day his -Protector. The advanced guard, perceiving the enemy thus hastily -marching, informed the king of their gaining the woods and bushes; -on which he crossed the bed of the Taro, and each army was in sight -of the other. In fact, the Italians were handsomely equipped and -mounted, and advanced with the appearance of a determined courage, as -they were far superior in numbers to the French. Their best men were -placed in front,—and the first onset was very severe on both sides. -As they had been informed by their herald how the king was dressed, -their chief attack was made on his divi<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span>sion, and with such success -that they advanced to his person; but he displayed great valour, and -was so heartily seconded by those near him that the enemies were -completely repulsed, with immense slaughter; even the boldest among -them attributed their highest honour to him who could fly the fastest; -for when they saw the day was lost, the best piece of all their armour -was the point of their spurs.</p> - -<p>Only one man of rank was made prisoner on the side of the French, -namely, Matthew bastard of Bourbon, who had most valiantly defended -the king, and he was taken when pursuing the enemy up to their lines. -Not more than nine or ten french gentlemen were killed, although -their enemies were ten to one against them, the greater part of whom -saved themselves by flight. This proves, beyond a doubt, that Divine -Providence assisted the French, and gave them the victory over their -disloyal enemies, who were conquered in so very short a space of time. -The king remained the whole of the day armed and on horseback, and -until the whole of his army had retired within<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> their camp. Thither -came ambassadors to him from the Italians, to demand the prisoners; but -they were answered, that they should not be restored,—which astonished -them greatly, as they feared that some of their first nobility had been -either killed or made prisoners.</p> - -<p>The king and his nobles, in sign of triumph and victory, supped and -lay on the field of battle,—where they ate and drank what they could -find, and as it pleased God, to whom they gave their most humble -thanksgivings and praises for their success, as indeed they were -bounden to do.</p> - -<div class="footnotes"><p class="ph3">FOOTNOTES:</p> - -<div class="footnote"> - -<p><a name="Footnote_8_8" id="Footnote_8_8"></a><a href="#FNanchor_8_8"><span class="label">[8]</span></a> Estradiots,—a sort of light horse, or a militia.</p></div></div> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p class="ph2"><a name="CHAP_VI" id="CHAP_VI">CHAP.

He came at length to Novara, and delivered the duke of Orleans, who -had been shut up in that town, with a party of his men, by the traitor -Ludovico of Milan.

He was very anxious to -recover possession of the Milanese, and had sent thither a large -army, which, within fifteen days, reconquered Milan, on the 4th of -September. Duke Ludovico was in the town, and narrowly escaped being -taken, by quitting the place in disguise. The town of Alexandria della -Paglia<a name="FNanchor_15_15" id="FNanchor_15_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a>, having shown much hatred to the French, was plundered, and -the greater part of it destroyed.</p> - -<p>When the king heard of the capture of Milan, he left Lyon, giving -orders to the lord de Bersac to destroy all the benches and awnings -before the doors in that city. He made his public entry into Milan, and -regulated its government.</p> - -<p>On the Friday before All-souls-day, in this year, the bridge of Nôtre -Dame, at Paris, fell down, which was a heavy loss;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[Pg 46]</a></span> and the king sent -thither John de Doyac to superintend the immediate construction of -another.</p> - -<p>The year 1500 was a grand year of jubilee at Rome, celebrated by pope -Alexander VII. and attended by great numbers. There would have been -more, if, on the 3d of January, duke Ludovico Sforza had not, in -person, regained Milan, by the aid of a considerable body of Germans. -He won the town through the treason of the inhabitants, who surrendered -themselves to him; but the French fought valiantly, and kept possession -of the castle, whence they battered the town.</p> - -<p>Several Frenchmen, going to the jubilee at Rome, were murdered at the -inns on the road,—which being discovered, justice was done on the -perpetrators by burning their houses, with their inhabitants, to serve -for examples to all others. The duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza, gave a -ducat to every one who brought him the head of a Frenchman.

It was said, that the -Lansquenets, refused to fight against their countrymen; and likewise, -that the duke had not paid his men their arrears, which made them -unwilling to serve him.

Since God -the Creator, has been pleased to place them in the hands of the most -Christian<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> king, their legitimate lord, they cannot wish for a better -nor a more powerful prince: their duty is to persevere in the fidelity -and loyalty which they have sworn to him when he received them with -such benignity and humanity. It may be said, that he had reintegrated -the citizens to their country, and their country to the founder; for -the French had founded and built the city of Milan,—and the country, -to this day, retains the name of Gallia Cisalpina. But, alas! we -have sadly displayed the instability of our tempers, and committed -the crimes of treason and rebellion without any reason for so doing; -for neither the king our lord nor the deputies he sent to govern us, -have done any things that ought to have displeased us, or make us -discontented. In regard to our lord himself, we have always found him -full of humanity, affection, and clemency; and in regard to the lord de -Luson, who had been appointed our chief justice, we cannot accuse him -of any improper acts,—for he ever received us kindly, and heard our -complaints attentively, doing justice to all parties, like as a good -father would to his children.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[Pg 57]</a></span></p> - -<p>'In like manner, the lord Jean Jacques, who has ruled us without -distinction of persons, or the smallest partiality, punishing rather -his own people than ours, just as those excellent Romans, Brutus and -Torquatus, put to death their children for the good of their country. -He also has afforded us all necessary support. The lord-bishop of Como -and others of the family of Trivulce have acted in a similar kind -manner to us. We feel the more beholden to the lord Jean Jacques, -because knowing, as he did, the wicked intentions of many of the chief -exciters to the late rebellion, he attempted to gain them over from -their intentions by gratuities and honours, rather than dip his hands -in the blood of his countrymen. He preferred also retiring into the -castle to destroying the town by fire and sword, as perhaps strict duty -would have forced him to,—and from thence he departed, to return with -so much the greater glory. The preservation of the town from ruin is -solely owing to his prudent conduct: a superior victory to any achieved -by arms, seeing that Ludovico Sforza and almost all the king's enemies -are<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> become prisoners. The cardinal Ascanius and others attached to his -party were, by God's merciful providence, induced to leave the town, -when they might otherwise have injured it by obstinately holding out -against the troops of our legitimate lord. The inhabitants, therefore, -are greatly indebted to God and the king, who has kindly overlooked -their faults, and not punished them according to their deserts.</p> - -<p>'To check the fury of his victorious army, the king has been pleased to -send you, my lord cardinal, hither, with full powers to act according -to your discretion; and this you have done with such prudence that you -have saved the town to the king,—for which we, our children, and our -successors, shall be ever beholden to you.</p> - -<p>'We also thank my aforesaid lord the bishop of Como for his good -recommendations of us to you, and for the means he has taken for the -preservation of his country.</p> - -<p>'Since, most reverend father in God, you have been pleased, out of your -bounty and clemency, following the kind will of our lord the king, to -grant to us, the inhabitants of Milan, this public audience,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</a></span> they have -commissioned me to make, in their name, the following requests.</p> - -<p>'In the first place, that it may be your good pleasure, when you -shall return to the king, to recommend us most humbly to his good -graces,—and to assure his majesty that the people of Milan will never -again rise in rebellion to his power and authority. They somewhat -resemble St Peter, who, having denied God the Redeemer, had afterwards -such grief for his sin that he was more ardent and determined in his -service than ever, continually supplicating mercy for his crime. In -like manner, most reverend father in God, and in the name of the king -our lord, do I, on my bended knees, for myself, the nobles, burghers, -and the inhabitants of Milan, beseech you to pardon the rebellion -perpetrated by us, which was contrary to the usual custom of the -Milanese, celebrated for their fidelity and loyalty.</p> - -<p>'Secondly, most reverend father, in respect to the expenses the king -our lord has been put to in countermanding the troops sent hither to -punish us for our ill conduct, we have promised to pay the sum<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span> of -three hundred thousand crowns: fifty thousand on the 12th of this -month, fifty thousand on the 1st day of May, and the remaining two -hundred thousand at his pleasure. We beseech you to intercede for us -to his majesty, that he would be graciously inclined to remit payment -of the balance of the two hundred thousand crowns,—for it will be -impossible to raise so large a sum without totally ruining the town. -Its whole wealth consists in merchandize, and in cloths of silk and -woollen,—and should so large a sum be withdrawn from trade, all these -works must stop, to the utter ruin of the city and duchy of Milan, -which depends so much upon it. The duty of a king is to enrich and not -impoverish his subjects.</p> - -<p>'Thirdly, we most humbly supplicate, that you would dismiss all the men -at arms from the duchy as speedily as possible, that the fruits of the -coming harvest may be preserved for the use of our lord's subjects.</p> - -<p>'Fourthly, we beseech you, that all persons may be restored to the -offices they before enjoyed.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span></p> - -<p>'And, lastly, that since, out of your great mercy and wisdom, you -have been pleased to separate the principal instigators of the late -rebellion from the more peaceable inhabitants of the town,—and that, -through the mercy of God, the cardinal Ascanius and the chiefs of that -party are now, for the welfare of the country, detained prisoners,—we -beseech you to use your interest with the king our lord, that such -provisions be made to prevent them henceforth from troubling the city -and duchy, as they have lately done, and put us again in danger of -losing our lives and fortunes, whence we have been relieved by the -merciful bounty of the king our lord.</p> - -<p>'We assure you, most reverend father in God, and most noble lord, that -we are determined to remain faithful to our sovereign prince in body -and soul; and, by granting us our requests, you will never again hear -of any disturbances or factions in this town,—for the inhabitants -will, henceforward, be united in his service, as experience shall -prove. We have full confidence that your benignant goodness will<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span> do -every thing, in regard to us, becoming the race whence you descend, -which will be agreeable to God, and worthy to be engraved on marble, -as a perpetual memorial of your wisdom, and to the glory of your name: -all of which I and the people of Milan now assembled here, again on our -bended knees, beseech you to grant.'</p> - -<p>Master Michael having finished his harangue, the lord-cardinal of -Amboise consulted the marshal of Trivulce, the bishop of Luson<a name="FNanchor_19_19" id="FNanchor_19_19"></a><a href="#Footnote_19_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a>, -chancellor of Milan, the lord de Neufchatel, and others of the king's -counsellors, and ordered master Michael Ris, doctor of civil and canon -law, and counsellor to the king in his court of parliament of Burgundy, -and in the senate of Milan, to make a reply, which he did in manner -following.</p> - -<p>'Misertus est Dominus super Ninevem civitatem; eo quod pænitentiam egit -in cinere et cilicio.' My lords and gentlemen of the Milanese, the -very reverend father in God and most noble cardinal here present, as -lieutenant general for the king <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span>in this duchy, has more attentively -listened to your humble propositions and requests than your demerits -deserved. That his bounty and mercy may be more manifest, he has -ordered me to lay before you your great and inexcusable rebellion, -which his excellency would willingly have done himself could he have -addressed you in your own language. I am, therefore, employed to do it -by his command. I must, therefore, remind you, that on the day when -you swore fidelity to the most Christian king, I then addressed you by -his orders, and exhorted you to remain firm in your loyalty to him, -whence you would derive great honour, and by acting contrary inevitable -evils and disgrace would follow. I am now commanded by the most noble -lord-cardinal, here present, to explain your great disloyalty and -infidelity, that the exceeding clemency and pity of the king, our lord, -may be the more apparent.</p> - -<p>'Your crimes and your demerits are so enormous, O Milanese! that no -punishments can be adequate to them,—and they are deserving of a -similar punishment from the king as the Romans inflicted<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> upon the -Samiens, as related to us by historians: 'Ita ruinas urbis diruerunt ut -hodie Samus in ipsa Samo requiratur.' Or one equal to what Archila<a name="FNanchor_20_20" id="FNanchor_20_20"></a><a href="#Footnote_20_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a> -king of the Goths inflicted on the Romans, whose marks are now visible -on the walls and buildings of Rome. Or what Alexander did to the -Thebans. It may be seen in numerous histories, that for much smaller -crimes, Charles the great, king of France, and the emperor Frederick I. -punished most severely this city of Milan.</p> - -<p>'To make your ingratitude more public, you have allowed that the most -Christian king is your true and legitimate lord, to whom you owe love -and obedience, according to the laws of God and man; for the wise -regulation of the Spartans says, 'Populum in obsequia principum, -principes ad justitiam imperatorum infirmabit.' In addition to the most -Christian king being your natural and lawful lord, he has conferred -upon you numberless benefits: he came in person to deliver you from -slavery,—not out of a disorderly ambition<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span> to gain kingdoms, but -from the pity he felt for you as subjects of duke John Galeazzo, your -first duke, whose most excellent daughter, the princess Valentina, was -his grandmother. He recalled Justice to your country, which had been -banished thence. He secured to you your lives and properties, which -before no one could call his own. He allowed you the liberty to marry -your children as you should please, which before this could not be -done; for a father could not marry a daughter, nor a mother a sister, -but according to the will and appetite of the lord. Offices which were -temporary he made perpetual. He abolished all pillories, concussions, -and exactions.</p> - -<p>'Besides these and numberless other benefits that he showered upon you, -you were bounden by your oaths of allegiance to be faithful unto him: -nevertheless, many of you, even when taking these oaths, were plotting -to deceive him. All of you, ye Milanese! forgetful of the salvation -of your souls and honour, and regardless of the danger into which you -threw your wives, your children, and your town, have con<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[Pg 66]</a></span>spired against -your true lord in favour of a tyrant, quitting the first of kings in -Christendom for a mean fellow of low birth,—a most potent prince for -one as poor in courage as in wealth and friends. Had I the powers of -language to display the extent of such a crime, I should be incapable -to do it under two days; but your own consciences will make you more -sensible of it than I can,—and you may apply to yourselves what is -written, 'Populus dure cervicis,' when you committed that base act of -recalling your Ludovico in opposition to your true lord.</p> - -<p>'What was the consequence? Did he not instantly seize all the effects -of private persons, and not only their wealth but even the crosses, -chalices, and jewels from the churches? What was said of Cambyses, king -of Persia, may be said of him, 'Difficile enim erat ut parceret suis, -qui contempta religione grassatus etiam in Deos fuerat.' Although from -so great a crime many may attempt to exculpate themselves, yet I do -not see how they can well do so, for it would have been easy at first -to have resisted such trea<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span>son: nor can one in Milan excuse himself -for the joyous reception given to Ludovico, as if he had been a god -descended from heaven on earth.

A general procession was made to -the holy chapel, to offer up prayers to God that the scholar might -be converted,—and a sermon was preached, while he was present, by -an eminent doctor. The court of parliament finding him obstinate, -condemned him to be dragged from prison to the place where he had -thrown down the host; then to be put into a tumbril, and have his -wrist cut off, and carried to the pig-market to be burnt.

Having considered the iniquity of the grand -Turk, and his infamous conduct to these Sophines, he set out from his -country, called Adanil, twelve days journey from Tauris, accompanied by -only one hundred warriors, and arrived near to Arzian<a name="FNanchor_30_30" id="FNanchor_30_30"></a><a href="#Footnote_30_30" class="fnanchor">[30]</a>, a town of -Usson Cassan, whose friendship and alliance he besought on account of -his mother, sister to Usson Cassan, pretending that he was waiting the -arrival of his attendants. But he disguised his feelings of injury from -the grand Turk, who detained his Sophines in abject vassalage: however, -within a fortnight, he was joined by about sixteen thousand men, with -whom he entered Arzian by force, and put to death all the inhabitants, -both great and small.</p> - -<p>Among other acts worthy of remembrance, in all the mosques, or temples, -of the Turks, he had the horses and camels tied up as in a stable, -to show his contempt for them, and had them afterwards razed to the -ground. There had been a temple of the Christians which the Turks -had destroyed; but Sophi had it immediately re<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_94" id="Page_94">[Pg 94]</a></span>built, and handsomely -restored. The army of Sophi continually increasing, he advanced into -the province of Firnam, which belonged also to Usson Cassan. Usson -Cassan perceiving that Sophi was subjugating his country, and the whole -of the Turks in this province, amounting to more than fifty thousand, -assembled his army, and offered battle to Sophi, who defeated him -completely, and made him prisoner. He entered victoriously the town of -Sarda, where he staid three months, and thence advanced to Tharabe, a -town of Usson Cassan, which instantly surrendered.</p> - -<p>As he approached the country of Sultania, he was met by the children -of Usson Cassan, with an army of twenty-five thousand men. Sophi gave -them battle, and defeated them. One of the children was killed in the -combat: the others were taken prisoners, and put to a disgraceful death -by cutting them in pieces. Not one of their army was permitted to live.</p> - -<p>The city of Tauris, seeing the great power of Sophi, and that he had -destroyed their prince and his children, surrendered to him without any -defence,—and he re<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_95" id="Page_95">[Pg 95]</a></span>mained there with his army some time. The citizens -of Tauris, observing the great prudence and wisdom of Sophi, put him -in possession of all the treasures of Usson Cassan.

He was -continually followed by his mother, with a numerous attendance of -slaves, for he was much beloved by her; and after a short stay at -Tauris, she sent ambassadors to the grand Turk, to remonstrate with -him on his shameful conduct to the Sophines,—ordering him to set them -at liberty, and also to put on the red bonnet, after the manner of the -Sophines, otherwise she would make him feel the power of her son.</p> - -<p>The grand Turk detained the ambassadors in Constantinople, for he -suspected that Sophi would invade his country of Natolia; and in -consequence, he assembled<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_96" id="Page_96">[Pg 96]</a></span> a large army near to the town of Angora<a name="FNanchor_31_31" id="FNanchor_31_31"></a><a href="#Footnote_31_31" class="fnanchor">[31]</a>, -and commanded all in Pera<a name="FNanchor_32_32" id="FNanchor_32_32"></a><a href="#Footnote_32_32" class="fnanchor">[32]</a> to hold themselves in readiness to -bear arms against Sophi Christian or Red Bonnet.

It was said, that the king of Spain had bribed some of the -French (of which they were afterwards accused), and by this means he -had conquered Naples.</p> - -<p>The lord of Aubigny and the lord of Alegre, the principal leaders of -the french army, were made prisoners; and great numbers of their men -perished, more from want of food than in battle, for there was no great -effusion of blood. The lieutenant of the lord of Ligny maintained his -post in the territories of that lord's deceased wife,—and the French, -notwithstanding the spanish force, made several good prisoners, who<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_98" id="Page_98">[Pg 98]</a></span> -were exchanged for the lords of Aubigny and of Alegre.</p> - -<p>This summer was exceedingly hot and dry, which prevented the corn from -filling; and the harvest was very poor in the Lyonnois, Dauphiny, -Auvergne, Burgundy, Savoy, and other countries. From the month of -March, the farmers and peasants, foreseeing the season would be -unproductive, were in great distress, and made processions to different -churches in all the villages around: general processions were even made -by the peasants to the churches in Lyon, where the inhabitants and -monks gave them bread and wine in abundance.</p> - -<p>In these processions, the young women were dressed in white linen, with -bare feet, a kerchief on their heads, and a taper in their hands: the -boys were clothed also in white, bare headed and bare footed: then came -the priests, followed by persons of both sexes, the women singing from -the Litany, 'Sancta Maria! ora pro nobis,' and then the whole cried -aloud for 'Mercy!'</p> - -<p>The parishes of Lyon made similar processions to the church of our Lady -of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[Pg 99]</a></span> the island, a french league distant from that city. On the last -day but one of May, the body of St Just was brought from the suburbs -into the city of Lyon, which no man living had before seen done; and -his shrine was carried in procession, with chaunting and singing, from -church to church. On the following day, the jaw bone of St John the -baptist, which had never before been taken out of the church of St -John, was carried in procession to the church of the Augustins.</p> - -<p>Eight days afterwards, it rained; but the drought was soon as great as -ever. The monks of Nôtre Dame de l'Isle, attended by the inhabitants of -many villages, brought her image, and that of St Loup, in procession to -Lyon, which had not been done in the memory of man. This was on the 7th -of June; and at the same time was brought thither the shrine of Saint -Hereny, prince of the nineteen thousand martyrs.</p> - -<p>Processions came to Lyon four and five leagues distant; and the -inhabitants of several villages were from five to six days wandering -about the fields, from one<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_100" id="Page_100">[Pg 100]</a></span> place to another, without returning home. -In short, every body appeared so miserable, the hardest hearts must -have wept on beholding this great desolation of the people, and have -quitted all amusements to assist them.</p> - -<p>In the month of September, there appeared in the river Saone, above -Lyon, a prodigious quantity of small eels, of the size of a man's -little finger, but no one dared to eat of them. Great sickness now -prevailed; and on the 19th of September Philibert duke of Savoy died at -Pont d'Ain, not without suspicions of poison. He was succeeded by his -next brother: the other was bishop of Geneva.</p> - -<p>In the year 1505 died the lady Jane duchess of Berry, and was interred -in a chapel, within the castle of Bourges she had founded and endowed. -From St John's day of last year until that feast in this, the season -was most sickly, and every thing very dear.

Some left their houses empty, others their wives and children, -and the women their husbands and children. Great part of them died, -although every person who had wherewithal gave them food; for alms were -as abundantly bestowed in Lyon as in any city of its size.</p> - -<p>A pestilential disorder now raged, which carried off immense numbers in -the hospital, both rich and poor; and this pestilence seemed to be felt -every where, for, in the mountains of Savoy, several died of it, and of -hunger, so that many farms were this year uncultivated.</p> - -<p>During Lent, the king of France had the bones of his late father, -Charles duke of Orleans, removed from Blois to Paris, and interred in -the chapel of the Celestins at Paris, which the dukes of Orleans had -founded. Every kind of honour was paid to them during their removal, -and at their re-interment,—and it was a magnificent spectacle.</p> - -<p>About this time, the king was taken with so serious an illness it was -thought he<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_102" id="Page_102">[Pg 102]</a></span> must die.

While he lay speechless, he -had a vision, which he related; and it was so marvellous that I firmly -believe it to be more a miracle than any thing else. A short time -after his recovery, the king solicited the pope to grant a jubilee for -his kingdom of France, and other parts under his dominion, without -any expenses. On the 26th of June, the feast of St Peter and St Paul, -a great procession took place, in which the host was carried as on -Corpus-Christi-day, when the king, knowing how earnestly his people -had prayed for the restoration of his health, would not show himself -ungrateful, but, to reward them, solicited of the pope for this free -jubilee.</p> - -<p>In this year, don Frederick of Naples died, to whom the king had -behaved with the utmost liberality touching his claims on Naples.</p> - -<p>In the year 1506, died, Isabella queen<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_103" id="Page_103">[Pg 103]</a></span> of Spain, who, during the wars -of Granada, had shown great valour and prudence.

Five days after the camp had been formed at -Peschiera, the Venetian army was attacked, and completely routed, -chiefly by the great exertions of the lord of Bourbon, who fought -manfully: there was great slaughter. The confederates never thought -that this could have been accomplished by the french army alone. Indeed -the Venetians would not believe it until the count de Pitigliano, who -had fled with the reserve, convinced them of its truth. This battle -took place on the 14th of May, just six days after the king arrived in -the camp, and it was certainly very fortunate. Thus<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_114" id="Page_114">[Pg 114]</a></span> the war lasted but -five days; for after such a victory, there was nothing to prevent the -king obtaining all his demands.</p> - -<p>I repeat, that this success was very fortunate, considering how -advantageously the enemy were posted, the number of strong places -in their possession, and the strength of their armies; for they had -enow to oppose the confederates in the field and to guard their -strong holds. In their camp were more than seventeen hundred men at -arms, light cavalry to the amount of nine thousand five hundred, -and twenty-two thousand infantry well armed, with twenty pieces of -large artillery, much superior to what the king had, and also the -best captains in all Italy to command this army, particularly sir -Bartholomew d'Alviano, the chief, taken prisoner as he was rallying a -body of infantry.</p> - -<p>Numbers of the most renowned of the venetian captains were made -prisoners this day, and sent to different strong castles in -France,—their banners to the church of St Denis. Not more than two -hundred were slain of the king's army, while full fifteen thousand -fell on the side of the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_115" id="Page_115">[Pg 115]</a></span> enemy. After the battle, the king ordered the -dead to be buried, and a chapel to be erected on the spot, endowed -sufficiently for the celebration of daily masses for the souls of those -who had died in a state of grace. It was not long afterward before -those towns which the Venetians had usurped surrendered to the king's -obedience,—such as Bergamo, Brescia, Crema, Cremona, that had formed -part of the duchy of Milan.</p> - -<p>The pope, in like manner, recovered those places that had been taken -from the church, namely, Ravenna, Imola, Faienza, and Forli. The -emperor Maximilian regained from the Venetians his towns of Verona, -Vicenza, and Padua,—but this last he did not keep long. Whether -through negligence or fear, he had never dared to come to the king's -camp, notwithstanding his repeated promises: the king, however, gave -him a large body of men, under the command of the lord de la Palisse, -to regain the city of Padua,—and it was long besieged, but nothing -effectual was done at last.</p> - -<p>The king of Spain also regained the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[Pg 116]</a></span> towns of Brundusium, Tarentum, and -others, of which the Venetians had possessed themselves.</p> - -<p>When all this had been done through the fortunate victory of the king -of France, who had supported the pope like a true son of the church, -and had so essentially served him in the restoration of Bologna by the -expulsion of Bentivoglio, and in various other ways,—notwithstanding -all these proofs of his friendship, pope Julius, at the instigation of -the Venetians and others, formed an alliance against him, and, having -joined his arms with those of Venice, took Udina and Mirandola; which -last he restored to John Franciscus Picus, who styled himself the true -lord of it.</p> - -<p>To return to the king of France: after his victory over the Venetians, -he went to Milan, where a magnificent triumphal entry was prepared -for him, after the manner of the ancient Romans. Brilliant cars, full -of the handsomest and best dressed ladies in Milan, went out to meet -him,—and the people greeted him with acclamations, comparing him to -Cæsar, for having conquered and reduced to his subjection those who -had<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[Pg 117]</a></span> been feared and dreaded by all the world before.</p> - -<p>The king, having had so handsome a reception in Milan, went thence -to Savona, where he was met by Ferdinand, who had come thither with -a numerous fleet of galleys for the purpose. The king of France -received him and his queen with much kindness, and they made good cheer -together. They confirmed their peace by dividing the eucharist between -them at the holy sacrament; but it lasted not long, notwithstanding -this ceremony, as you will hereafter see. There are many who make a -good sale of their consciences and promises; and one of them, instead -of the host, ought to have swallowed a burning coal,—for numberless -creatures have paid dear for perjuries of which they were innocent, and -had no concern with.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_118" id="Page_118">[Pg 118]</a></span></p> - - - - -<p class="ph2"><a name="CHAP_XXIV" id="CHAP_XXIV">CHAP.

The marquis of Mantua was taken prisoner by the Venetians, -and carried to Venice, whence, some time after, he easily obtained -his liberty. A fresh war now commenced between the pope and the duke -of Ferrara, an ally of France,—for which reason, the king left the -count Gaston de Foix, whom he had lately created duke of Nemours, his -lieutenant-general in the Milanese, who did marvellous feats of arms -during his command in Italy.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[Pg 119]</a></span></p> - -<p>The lord-cardinal of Amboise, on his last return from Italy, fell -sick at Lyon, and died there. His loss was great, as was afterwards -known, although at the time some thought the contrary; but they were -unacquainted with his many virtues, and the good use he made of his -talents,—for during the whole of his administration, he advised his -master with such wisdom that the people were never over-taxed. Whatever -wars king Louis may have carried on in Italy, the taxes were never -raised above their usual rates; but when the enemy attempted to bring -the war on the french territory, it became absolutely necessary to -increase them.</p> - -<p>The king was, not without foundation, called 'the father of his -people,' notwithstanding that title may have been given him during his -life through flattery, and the worth of other kings debased, the more -to exalt his own. It is impossible to say too much of a virtuous man -in his absence; but when present, to praise him smells strongly of the -love of lucre.</p> - -<p>The cardinal-legate having lain in state for a short time, the body -was em<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_120" id="Page_120">[Pg 120]</a></span>balmed, put into a leaden coffin, and carried to Rouen for -interment. The king came thence to Blois, accompanied by the queen, -then far gone with child of a daughter, as it turned out afterward, -whom the king had vowed to the holy St Réné, a bishop of Angers, -whither he made a pilgrimage with the queen when she recovered. The -young princess was christened Renée,—and the lord Jean Jacques de -Trivulce stood godfather with the king.</p> - -<p>About this time, the Portuguese made some discoveries on the island of -Oran<a name="FNanchor_39_39" id="FNanchor_39_39"></a><a href="#Footnote_39_39" class="fnanchor">[39]</a>, on the coast of Africa, where they met savages of a blackish -colour, with countenances as if branded with hot irons, thick lips, -black and coarse hair, resembling in thickness that of a horse. They -had no beard, nor appearance of any, or of hair on any parts of the -body but on the head and eye-brows. Their boats are made of the bark -of trees, and so light, a man can with ease carry one of them. Their -bows are bent with the sinews of wild beasts:<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_121" id="Page_121">[Pg 121]</a></span> their arrows of cane, -headed with a sharp stone or piece of fish-bone.

Two of these natives were brought -by some Normans to Rouen, and presented to the king; but they did not -live long, nor did the others that had been brought to Europe.</p> - -<p>But to return to my former subject: a general council was demanded -by the emperor, and king of France, to the great discontent of the -pope. He had broken his faith, by instigating the king of Arragon, the -republic of Venice, and others, to commence a new war, quitting the -chair of Saint Peter for the car of Mars, the god of war, displaying -in the field of battle his triple crown, and sleeping in watchtowers. -God knows what a sight of crosses, mitres, and sacred banners, were -fluttering in the plains; and the devil took good care not to come -near,—for benedictions were given most abundantly, and at the cheapest -rates.</p> - -<p>The war commenced against the duke<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_122" id="Page_122">[Pg 122]</a></span> of Ferrara, ally to the king, -when many engagements took place, sieges were made and raised, for it -was continued without interruption of winter and summer. Bologna was -besieged by the duke of Nemours, who acted as viceroy in Italy, and -the Bolognese fled before him, so that he soon reconquered that town, -as you shall hear. About this time, pope Julius excited the Swiss to -invade the duchy of Milan, which they did, and advanced to the walls -of that city, committing every sort of mischief, particularly to a -monastery of nuns, whom they ravished, and plundered the convent of all -within it.</p> - -<p>The lord de Conti, like a valorous knight, hastened to their relief, -and did wonders; but he was surrounded, and fell, which was a great -pity.—Soon after, the duke of Nemours made an agreement with them to -return home, on receiving a sum of money,—which they accepted and -retreated, to return again to seek more money.</p> - -<p>The inhabitants of Brescia were now (unfortunately for them) advised -to quit the french interest, and put themselves under<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_123" id="Page_123">[Pg 123]</a></span> the dominion -of Venice, for which they severely suffered. In like manner, those of -Bergamo revolted to the Venetians,—but the castles of both places -remained in the hands of the French, under the command of able -captains, who gallantly served the king, especially in his italian -wars, for which some of them were but badly recompensed.</p> - -<p>The council<a name="FNanchor_40_40" id="FNanchor_40_40"></a><a href="#Footnote_40_40" class="fnanchor">[40]</a> before mentioned was first held at Tours, then at -Lyon, and then referred to a general council at Pisa, where were many -cardinals, archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, and other prelates -of the church.

The place was completely -conquered, in spite of all that the Brescians and Venetians could do to -prevent it,—and the streets were filled with dead bodies, besides the -numbers that were slain in the open country: in the whole, there must -have been many thousands killed.

During the -Lent of the year 1512, the duke of Nemours marched his army before -Ravenna, wherein that of the pope, the Venetians, and Spaniards were -seeking opportunities to retaliate on the French,—and they had made -great preparations for this purpose. The duke of Nemours, having had -information of this, advanced thither, accompanied by many nobles and -valiant captains, such as the lord de la Palisse, the lord d'Alegre -and his son, the lord Jean Jacques of Trivulce, the lord de Châtillon -governor of Paris, the lord de Molarc, Maugeron, La Crotte, and other -officers of renown. When he had approached<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_130" id="Page_130">[Pg 130]</a></span> Ravenna, the French -remained some time encamped from a scarcity of provision, and many -suffered by it. Perceiving that their supplies had failed, like hardy -warriors, stirred on by the eager desire of the duke of Nemours for the -combat, they resolved, on the eve of Easter-day, to offer the enemy -battle on the morrow, which was the feast of the Resurrection of our -Lord.</p> - -<p>The French advanced boldly to the combat, having their artillery in -front, which played four hours incessantly, and did great damage to the -Spaniards, principally to their men at arms. Some Spaniards sallied out -of their camp, and the French rushed in,—when both parties met, and -two superb and bold nations might then be seen contending with courage -and earnestness for the victory. Never was heard such clattering of -swords and lances: the gallant duke of Nemours hastened forward, -fighting most wonderfully, to encourage his men; and it was for some -time uncertain which side would have the advantage,—for the Spaniards -shouted at times 'Victory! Julius, Julius!' at others, the French cried -out 'Victory, Nemours!'<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_131" id="Page_131">[Pg 131]</a></span> At length, the French made their enemies fly.</p> - -<p>During the battle, the lord de Molarc was killed by a cannon-shot,—a -great loss to the king, for he was a valiant, and enterprising captain. -He led that day the french infantry, a most courageous and steady band. -La Crotte and captain Jacobs, who commanded the Lansquenets, were among -the first of the slain; and their loss was a heavy blow: however, both -French and Lansquenets advanced with greater courage to revenge the -deaths of their captains, and pushed on until they came to where the -baggage was, and some famished adventurers had already begun to knock -in the heads of the casks of different wines,—when, having drank -their fill, they ran away as fast as they could: not so the Spaniards, -who still held on fighting,—for I can assure you, that these spanish -troops were no way fainthearted, and there had not been so severe a -battle fought as this for a long time. May God pardon those who were -killed!</p> - -<p>The remnant of the Spaniards and Italians that escaped wandered here<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_132" id="Page_132">[Pg 132]</a></span> -and there.

No one knew what became of the -duke du Traict,<a name="FNanchor_44_44" id="FNanchor_44_44"></a><a href="#Footnote_44_44" class="fnanchor">[44]</a> who was of their company. The viceroy of Naples -saved himself by flight, until he gained the seashore, and embarked -for Naples. The marquis de la Padulla and the count del Popolo made -good a retreat before the end of the conflict, with eleven or twelve -hundred horse, as well men at arms as light cavalry, and from sixteen -to seventeen-hundred infantry, the remains of their army, and saved -themselves as well as they could.</p> - -<p>Numbers of Frenchmen were doubtless slain, for the Spaniards fought -with the utmost bravery; and when the french men at arms returning from -the pursuit,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_133" id="Page_133">[Pg 133]</a></span> passed over the field of battle, the wounded laid hands -on any swords near them, and, in the miserable state they were in on -the ground, cut the legs of the horses the French were mounted on.</p> - -<p>Pope Julius was at Rome when news of this event was brought him. God -knows how he bore it, for he had been a very great sufferer in that -battle. The instant he heard it, he would have set off without delay, -fearing that the French would follow up their victory, and come to seek -him even in Rome.</p> - -<p>After this defeat, the illustrious and gallant duke of Nemours, having -perceived a small body of the enemy that had not dispersed, like a -magnanimous prince, but too unmindful of the signal victory God had -just given him, required of the nobles and captains around him, that -they would be pleased to march with him and drive them away. Some of -them who, from long experience, knew the uncertainty of the chances of -war, remonstrated with him on being too adventurous, and that he should -remain satisfied with the success he had gained. Notwithstanding the -truth of these remonstrances, he persisted in his reso<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_134" id="Page_134">[Pg 134]</a></span>lution, and said -aloud, 'Let all who love me, follow me.' Upon this, the lord d'Alegre, -his son, Maugeron, the bastard of Cliete, seeing him thus determined -and already advancing followed him.</p> - -<p>The duke of Nemours was the first to attack this body of the enemy, -who were greatly superior in number; and the gallant prince performed -such feats of arms as astonished them, and cleared all around his horse -with such rapid and mortal blows that none dared approach him. It was -a grand sight to view so young a man displaying such extraordinary -courage. The enemy, observing how few the French were, and that no -reinforcements were coming to them, recovered their courage and -surrounded the young hero. They first killed his horse, and then fell -upon him with battle-axes, pikes, and every sort of weapon, that he, -and all his companions, died a glorious death.</p> - -<p>This was a most heavy loss to France, for he was a magnanimous prince, -worthy to be placed on a triumphant throne in a temple of brave men. -His liberality and frankness had gained him the love of the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_135" id="Page_135">[Pg 135]</a></span> army, who -would have followed him any where, even without pay,—and within four -months he had gained three decisive battles.</p> - -<p>When this melancholy event was known, the lord de la Palisse and other -captains hastened to revenge his loss, and put to death the whole body -of the enemy that had slain the duke, the lord d'Alegre and the others, -without suffering one to escape. They thence marched to besiege the -city of Ravenna, which they took by storm, killed the greater part of -the inhabitants, and plundered the town: there was much confusion, -for it was almost entirely destroyed. When this was done, the french -returned to the field of the late battle, to raise the bodies of -the duke of Nemours and the other lords, to give them an honourable -interment in sacred ground. The body of that most noble prince and -viceroy of Italy, was carried in mournful triumph to Milan, from the -ground where he had fallen, to be magnificently interred becoming so -great a prince.</p> - -<p>The body of the duke of Nemours arrived at Milan the 26th of April, -in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_136" id="Page_136">[Pg 136]</a></span> the year 1412, preceded by all the prisoners taken at the battle -of Ravenna. The banners, guidons, and standards the French had so -valiantly conquered, as well from the Italians as from the Venetians -and Spaniards, and of the different lords who had fallen in this -battle, were borne before him, which added joy intermixed with -grief at this mournful interment. Great order was observed in the -procession,—and it was a triumphantly melancholy spectacle. The nobles -and captains were in deep mourning,—and there was no heart so hard -not to weep on seeing his body thus carried untimely to the grave. His -pages and attendants led his horses of parade and for war: his helmet -and victorious sword, as lieutenant general for the king, were borne -before the body. In short, those of his army who attended the funeral -were loud in their lamentations; for they had always found him liberal -and courteous, and never sparing of his own personal efforts in war.</p> - -<p>The principal inhabitants and churchmen of Milan came out to meet the -body, dressed in mourning cloaks and hoods, with<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_137" id="Page_137">[Pg 137]</a></span> a blaze of lighted -torches, on which were the arms of the deceased emblazoned. The body, -surrounded by two hundred of the choicest lances in the army and a -numerous escort of infantry, was conducted, with great pomp of grief, -to the cathedral, where a most solemn service was performed for the -repose of his soul.</p> - -<p>Think how great must have been the sorrow of the king and queen, when -they heard of this sad event at Blois, for they loved him as if he had -been their own child; and I can assert for truth, that those who had -never seen him bewailed his loss, on the reports they had heard of his -uncommon virtues and gallantry.

The generals, or at least those who had the management of -the finances for the army, imagined that, by the happy event of this -battle, all Italy was subdued, as far as Rome, if not farther, and -disbanded great bodies of infantry at the very time when they should -have sought reinforcements, to garrison the towns and castles that had -been lately conquered.</p> - -<p>When this conduct was noticed by certain bloodsuckers and turbulent -spirits, they collected troops in divers parts, to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_139" id="Page_139">[Pg 139]</a></span> endeavour to regain -honour by attacking the French; for, seeing them dispersed in their -garrisons, they were aware that courage, when disunited, is not so -much to be dreaded as when in a collective body. The holy father the -pope, smarting from the losses he had suffered from the French, three -times excited the Swiss-cantons to rise in arms against them, for they -had of late been neglected by the king of France. They chiefly depend, -for their maintenance, on pensions from kings and princes,—and the -pope having made the bishop of Sion a cardinal, he was an active and -able tool, by his public preachings and intrigues, to prevail on them -to comply with the wishes of his holiness. Maximilian also, having -turned his coat, was to allow them an entrance to Italy through his -territories of the Veronese and elsewhere. The Spaniards likewise -assembled from various parts of Italy; and they all advanced toward -Milan, whence the government had been withdrawn to France, so that the -poor Milanese were in despair, and knew not how to act. However, the -French having left them, they, as usual, fell in with the strongest, -and the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_140" id="Page_140">[Pg 140]</a></span> enemy was admitted into the town. The castle was held by the -French, under the command of the lord de Louvain; and other castles -were also in their possession: that of Brescia was held by the lord -d'Aubigny.</p> - -<p>When the French were returning from Italy, a sharp skirmish took place -at a bridge near to Pavia, between a small body of french adventurers -and the enemy, and they were inhumanly treated by the townsmen. Among -others of their villanous acts, I shall mention one. A Frenchman, -unable to keep up with the rest, was met by an inhabitant of Pavia, -who said to him, 'My friend, I love the french nation: come, I beg of -you, to my house, and I will save you from being killed.' The poor -adventurer, confiding in his fair words, followed him; but he was no -sooner within his doors than he treated him most brutally, cut off his -private parts, and thrust him into the street in his shirt, bawling -aloud, 'Here is another Frenchman!' on which numbers rushed out of -their doors, and hacked him to pieces with their swords.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_141" id="Page_141">[Pg 141]</a></span></p> - -<p>There was another inhabitant of Pavia who had even devoured the heart -of a Frenchman, by way of revenge.</p> - -<p>I am persuaded that all the evils that have befallen Italy have been -caused by their wickedness, and infamous practices similar to those of -Sodom and Gomorrah. The air would be infected, were I to recite them. -May God amend them, and all others! On the other hand, the French have -a shameful custom (which was increased when in Italy) of blaspheming -our <span class="smcap">Lord Jesus Christ</span>, and our Lady, with divers indecent -oaths, in which they seem to take pleasure. God may, perhaps, have been -angered by such detestable blasphemies, and by that great vanity with -which the French are always filled, and suffered them to experience the -late unfortunate reverses, to show that from Him alone come victories -and good fortune.</p> - -<p>The French, on leaving Italy, were in a great alarm,—and they were so -rejoiced when returned to France, they attributed it to the favour of -Heaven.

The count of Nassau -was also betrothed to the daughter of the prince of Orange, whom -he afterwards married. At this time, the duke of Bourbon was made -constable of France,—and while the king remained at Paris, the duke of -Suffolk espoused the queen-dowager of France, sister to Henry king of -England.

Thus was confirmed the peace between the two kingdoms. -At this time also, the king of France sent to seek Pedro de Navarre, a -prisoner of war, whom he set at liberty, gave him many rich gifts, and -the command of a large body of men.</p> - -<p>When all these marriages, and other matters, had been concluded, the -king celebrated the feast of Easter in Paris, and then, with his queen -and court, went by water as far as Montereau-faut-Yonne.

While with her, he received intelligence that the Swiss -had entered Dauphiny, near to Briançon, and burnt a village close to -Château Dauphin; on which, he took a hasty leave of his mother, and -set off suddenly for Bourges, where he made a public entry.

The king left Moulins for Lyon, where a most magnificent -entry was prepared for him.

Of this circumstance, a peasant -of that country had informed one of the king's gentlemen, named the -lord de la Morette, and that, as Prospero was quite unsuspicious of -the French being so near, it would be easy to surprise him. The lord -de la Morette lost no time to carry this news to the marshal de la -Palisse, the lord d'Aubigny, the lord d'Imbercourt, Bayard and others, -who all instantly agreed to follow the lord d'Imbercourt in the -attempt to surprise Colonna.

All his baggage was pillaged, and very many fine horses gained -that were in the stables of the town.

The french volunteers now placed themselves in the position of -the Lansquenets, who had in part turned their backs; but they must not -be blamed for this, for they had before heard of the agreement made -with the Swiss, and, without any explanation, had been led on to an -unexpected battle, which made them believe that they were betrayed by -the king, who wanted to have them destroyed. But when they saw the -volunteers thus step boldly into their ranks, they recovered courage, -and fought with the utmost bravery.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_185" id="Page_185">[Pg 185]</a></span></p> - -<p>The french volunteers did wonders; and although they were not numerous, -amounting to no more than two thousand, they defeated a band of Swiss -consisting of double their number. Great feats of arms were done at -this battle, with battle-axes, lances, and two-handed-swords, so that -for a long time it was doubtful on which side victory would remain.</p> - -<p>The Swiss behaved with the utmost courage, and charged the main body -and reserve of the French with an impetuosity that astonished them, -in the hopes of succeeding as they had before done at Novara. The -artillery of the French was not asleep, and the Swiss made an attempt -to seize it, but were repulsed with much loss,—for not a cannon was -fired without killing numbers of them.</p> - -<p>This battle lasted until the going down of the sun,—and both sides -fought as long as the dust and light allowed them to see each other. -Some, thinking to retire to their own camp, found themselves in that -of the enemy; but what caused great confusion was the Swiss shouting -out 'France, France!' and then<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_186" id="Page_186">[Pg 186]</a></span> attacking the French. The night was not -long. The king was constantly with his men, giving them every sort of -encouragement, by words and example. He was particularly anxious about -his artillery, which was well guarded by a party of Lansquenets. Having -visited the different divisions of his army, he reposed himself in his -armour, on the carriage of a cannon; and I may with truth assert, that -if the king had not been present at this engagement the French would -have had more than enough to do.</p> - -<p>On the morrow, the 14th of September, in the year 1515, and the feast -of the Exaltation of the Cross, the Swiss, enraged against the French, -advanced on them by day-break (notwithstanding their loss on the -preceding night had been more than they supposed) with an eagerness -as if they had been going to a dance, and made their charge with -valour and steadiness. The conflict was long and doubtful; but the -king's artillery, where he was in person, did the greatest service, -particularly on a strong body that kept firmly united until their -losses were so consider<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_187" id="Page_187">[Pg 187]</a></span>able, the remainder turned their backs, and -fled for Milan. The other divisions of the Swiss made now little -resistance; and to make short of the matter, all that remained were put -to death, or taken prisoners; and had not the dust been great, fewer -would have escaped,—for it was so thick they could not see many yards -before them<a name="FNanchor_63_63" id="FNanchor_63_63"></a><a href="#Footnote_63_63" class="fnanchor">[63]</a>.</p> - -<p>The heat that day was very oppressive; and the king and his lords -suffered greatly from thirst, for there was no water near that was -pure,—for all the springs and streams were discoloured with blood, of -which, nevertheless, they were forced to drink; at length, some clear -water was brought them.</p> - -<p>The king was as much rejoiced that the Swiss had renewed the battle, on -the following day, as a huntsman when he lays blinkes in the chace of a -stag. The Swiss left full sixteen thousand dead on the field, who did -not lose their lives like children, but as men of true courage; and all -the roads toward Milan and Como<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_188" id="Page_188">[Pg 188]</a></span> were full of those who in their flight -had died of the wounds they had received in battle.</p> - -<p>This was the first victory of king Francis I. and was very marvellous -it proved so great, considering how much he had been deceived in the -Swiss by their treaty some days prior to the combat. It is worthy of -remembrance,—for since the days of Julius Cæsar, this nation, so -valorous in war, never lost in battle so many as sixteen thousand men. -Louis XI. had defeated, when dauphin, a body of three or four thousand: -a duke of Milan had also conquered a body of two thousand, which -inclines me so much to exalt this victory of the king over enemies so -determined and numerous, for thirty-six thousand men had marched out of -Milan.</p> - -<p>Toward the end of the combat, a reinforcement of Venetians arrived, -which the constable of Bourbon had gone to seek. The troops made all -diligence, were well accoutred and ready for battle; but they found the -Swiss defeated, and flying in all directions, for Como and Milan.</p> - - - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_189" id="Page_189">[Pg 189]</a></span></p> - -<p>The Venetians pursued the enemy, and showed themselves men of courage, -particularly their commander, sir Bartholomew d'Alviano and the son -of the count de Petigliano, who did wonders; but as he was attempting -to leap a wide ditch, his horse fell upon him,—and he was surrounded -and slain by the Swiss, for none were near enough to prevent them. The -lord d'Imbercourt was also killed fighting valiantly; he had rushed -among the ranks of the Swiss, like to an enraged wild boar, and was -of a most warlike nature, with the intrepidity of a lion, as many can -testify, who have seen him engaged on former occasions. Francis lord of -Bourbon was inclosed by the Swiss and put to death, his men not being -nigh to rescue him. The prince of Tallemont, the count de Sancerre, the -lord de Bussi, the captain Mouy, with a very great number of lords and -gentlemen of renown, whose courage had many times been displayed in -war, were killed at this battle.</p> - -<p>During the engagement, neither baggage nor artillery were in danger -of being<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_190" id="Page_190">[Pg 190]</a></span> taken, for they were excellently well defended by those who -ran as much risk as others engaged in the main battle. Many were well -mounted, so that, if fortune had been adverse, the poor adventurers -might have been able to support their friends, and have renewed the -fight.</p> - -<p>The king made, this day, several new knights. During the conflict, -the cardinal of Sion fled, on seeing the quantities of dead, -under pretence, as he told Maximilian Sforza, of bringing back -reinforcements, but returned when too late.</p> - -<p>In the course of this great butchery, a body of Swiss retreated toward -a cassino of the van-guard, where was posted the duke of Bourbon, -constable of France: he instantly pursued them, had the cassino set -on fire, and unless they could have flown through the flames, not one -could have escaped.
