Haec singula quemadmodum se habent, necessario in notitiam Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae cum primis deducendum existimavi.

Quae alias hic aguntur, praesertim quomodo se habet ea victoria caesaris contra Gallos in regno Neapol(itano), antequam istae perferantur, iam sciet Maiestas Vestra Serenissima clarius quam scribi potest. Deus mirabilibus modis favet huic caesari, quod si favor iste erit perpetuus, nemo eo umquam fuit felicior. Ut tamen eam victoriam eo modo, ut huc est perlata, perscribam in compendio, sic habuit. Vigesima septima mensis Septembris praeteriti, quae fuit dominica et dies Sancti Stanislai, hora sexta mane in septem diebus ex Neapoli per mare hucusque venit quidam a principe de Oranges missus per postas, qui rettulit, exercitum regis christianissimi, cui praefuit paulo ante mortuus dominus de Lautrecht, profligatum et caesum, neminemque ex eo vivum evasisse, nisi qui captus fuit, et quod Andreas de Orea cum aliis, qui mari se commiserunt, conflixisset. Ex quibus 4 triremes, duas naves magnas onerarias et duos galeones cepit, quattuor triremibus submersis. Hocque novum subinde caesar per unum de camera sua mihi significavit et deinde reverendissimo domino episcopo Pistoriensi, qui hic fuit orator pontificis, ut prius etiam ex Caesaraugusta scripsi, factaque erat ex hoc novo hic non parva laetitia. Nihil hic certe minus sperabatur, quam haec victoria, cum paulo ante huc fama venisset, pedites Germanos, qui cum duce Brunsvicensi ingressi fuerant Italiam, ob defectum pecuniarum, quae eis BCz, 242, p. 196 debebantur, rediisse aliquos in Galliam et reliquos in Germaniam. Unde hinc ad praesens caesar aliquos capitaneos cum pecuniis mittit in Italiam estque nescio quis rumor, quod ipse recta collectis suis viribus ingredi vult omnino Galliam, rettulitque mihi nuper dominus episcopus Pistoriensis, qui est nepos cardinalis Sanctorum Quattuor, protectoris regni Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae, quod caesari hic quaedam pacis media proposuisset ms. prope fuisset(!) ⌈proposuissetproposuisset ms. prope fuisset(!) ⌉, inter quae haec fuissent potissima: quod caesar habere deberet Mediolanum, ut habet, et quod ei reddi deberet regnum Neapol(itanum) cum Genua, quodque ms. quodquod(!) ⌈quodquequodque ms. quodquod(!) ⌉ rex christianissimus ei dare deberet duos milliones auri pro liberis redimendis, ut sic pax fieret; caesarem vero respondisse, quoad restitutionem regni Neapol(itani), nihil esse dicendum, illud se brevi recuperaturum et se iam in sua potestate habere Genuam, non solumque Genuam se et regnum Neapol(itanum) recuperaturum, immo etiam Galliae partem, quae est citra Alpes. Hinc non obscure liquet, quid de pace sperare debeamus, quae his duobus principibus viventibus numquam est futura.

Ista caesaris victoria, licet non fuerit cruenta, nihilominus ms. nihil omnibus(!) ⌈nihilominusnihilominus ms. nihil omnibus(!) ⌉ non caruit detrimento, quos enim gladius non tetigit, pestis absorpsit. Mortui sunt Neapoli et in aliis Italiae partibus plurimi boni et principes viri, inter quos Maiestas Vestra Serenissima nepotem habuit ex sorore, illustrissimum olim dominum Gumpert von Brandenburg-Ansbach (*1503 – †1528)⌊Gumbertum marchionem BrandenburgensemGumpert von Brandenburg-Ansbach (*1503 – †1528)⌋ iuniorem inter fratres natu, optimum iuvenem, qui Romae fuit, dum diripiebatur et ibidem eo tempore vix evasit mortem, contulit se deinde cum aliis Neapolim, ut serviret caesari et hoc illi fuit postremum. Hic bonus princeps in tribus illustrissimus dominus marchio Ioannes Albertus in tribus annis tres fratres in servitio caesaris amisit diversis BCz, 242, p. 197 in locis: primum hic in Hispania, alium in Hungaria et hunc tertium in Italia. Cumque ista scriberem, venit ad me cras iturus Toletum et rogavit maximopere se Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae commendari, non esset abs re, cum iam aliquoties offerens operam suam Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae scripserit, ut ei responderetur; nemo hic est, qui Levitio melius facere poterit et qui libentius rebus Serenissimae Maiestatis Vestrae inserviret, quantum in eius situm est facultate, idque multis et magnis experimentis edoctus sum. Mortui sunt praeterea comes de Egmont et filius domini de Lachaulx cum plerisque aliis, in summa nemo illorum vivit, adeo infaustus fuit Minerval(?) vicerex, qui cum eo ex Granata iverunt ex hac curia in Italiam. Sic Deus utramque partem castigat.

Expediturus sum, antequam ex curia abiero, non eas, quas Lalmant viceregi Neap(olitano) scribi iussit, sed novas pro statu Barensi observatorias privilegiorum et commendatitias a caesare ad principem de Oranges, qui iam in Italia omnium rerum summam est habiturus in sua manu, adeo sibi caesarem in hac victoria devinxit ms. devingit(!) ⌈devinxitdevinxit ms. devingit(!) ⌉.

Venerant huc superiore die post hoc novum de victoria quidam nobiles, missi a principe de Oranges ad caesarem, qui in isto contra Gallos conflictu fuerant, confirmantes hanc victoriam collocutusque sum cum uno de illis, a quo quaesivi multa de statu Barensi. Inter alia mihi dixit Scipionem de Summa fuisse in castris Gallorum, et quod capitaneus illorum generalis dominus de Lautrecht mortuus eius consilio et opera in multis usus esset fuisset, castrum tamen Barense mansisse in fide caesaris et Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae seque ab eo plures Neapoli habuisse{nt} litteras, de quo satis mirari non possum, Colamariam de Summa, castellanum, fratrem Scipionis germanum, castrum tenuisse pro caesare et Scipionem, de quo hic tanta praedicata sunt per Sigismundum Loffredum, defecisse ad hostes, unde sum in magna exspectatione litterarum a reginali maiestate, quomodo haec habuerint et quid in his fieri velit.

BCz, 242, p. 198 Heraldus caesaris, qui fuit missus cum responso in Galliam, est is, qui Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae superioribus annis cum domino de Bredom vellus aureum a caesare attulit fuitque diu in finibus Galliae, antequam habito salvo conductu ingredi fuit permissus. Tandem cum iam esset in Gallia, — sicut dominus comes de Nassau, cum ei valedicerem, mihi recensuit, — sic illi successit. Postquam venisset 5 miliaria a Lutetia seu Paris voluissetque in eam ingredi sub armis caesaris, ut heraldorum mos est, dictum fuit ei, ne sic vestitus ingrederetur, quandoquidem non posset non a plebe occidi. Qua de re coactus fuit se continere, donec cum quibusdam nobilibus, qui ultra salvum conductum securitatis causa eum conducebant, ingrederetur, cumque sic per aliquot dies fuisset Lutetiae, tandem opera domini grantmaitre assignatus fuit ei dies audientiae perductusque ad quandam magnam aulam, in qua fuit rex in sede eminentiore collocatus, saeptus corona multorum suorum ducum et superinscribed in place of crossed-out inter⌈interetet superinscribed in place of crossed-out inter⌉ primorum, inter quos fuit etiam sedens cardinalis Salviati. Facta reverentia cum loqui decrevisset, rex prior coepit, dicens: heralde, scis, quid ad me scripsisti et qua condicione te admisi atque quid ferre debeas; habesne campum et campi securitatem? Ille respondit se habere, acceptisque in manum litteris suis patentibus, manu caesaris signatis, voluit eas publice legere, quod rex non admisit, dicens, ut plane diceret ea, quae campum securitatemque eius concernunt. Ille vero inquit: commissum est mihi, ut ea legam ex his patentibus, in quibus et campus et securitas eius continentur, — cumque legere vellet, rex proripuit ex sede et abiit. Subsecutus fuit eum dominus granmetor, qui heraldo fecerat audientiam, nescio quid cum rege collocutus, qui tamen deducta manu dixit clare multis audientibus non posse fieri. Inde heraldus coram omnibus protestatus est, quod rex eum audire noluisset et petens desuper processus publicos rediit ad hospitium, cumque perseveraret, ut ei tales processus darentur, negatum fuit primitus, demum ad improbitatemeius datus fuit processus rei gestae contrarius, quem accipere noluit; bene tamen donatus a rege huc septima huius rediit, et cum postero die in publico caesari relationem facere debuit, tanta se congesserat hominum frequentia ad palatium, quod caesar ea frequentia exclusa solus mansit cum consiliariis. Quid ibidem actum et conclusum, adhuc me praeterit. Hinc patet, quid ex eo duello futurum est. Caesar, ut fertur, vult campum quaerere in Gallia videturque in eo, quod aliquid magni apud se molitur, licet superiore die post hanc victoriam mihi dixerit, se nihil aliud, quam pacem aliquam in Orbe Christiano universalem, et cupere et cogitare, tamen non video aliud, quam quod ab utraque multa de pace loquimur eamque in ore haberemus semper, et longe ab ea diversum in pectore BCz, 242, p. 199 habemus et facimus.
