that if the bodies were seen they might occasion some tumult and therefore having by the counsel of his Physitian caused them to be buried in quick Lime within a few hours all their flesh was consumed and afterward the bones were secretly interred in an unknown place removing in that manner those tragical Objects which use to work strange and sudden motions in the common people neither had he himself the heart to look upon them nor did any of the Court see them after their death except those few who of necessity were present the King not desiring that so sad a spectacle should argue him guilty either of cruelty or ambitious pomp of ostentation In this manner died Henry of Lorain Duke of Guise a Prince very remarkable for the height of his Extraction and for the merit and greatness of his Ancestors but much more conspicuous for the great eminency of his own worth For he abounded with many excellent endowments vivacity in comprehending wisdom in resolving boldness in executing courage in fight magnanimity in prosperity constancy in adversity popular in behaviour affable in conversation infinitely industrious in gaining the minds and affections of every one liberality worthy the most plentiful fortune secrecy and policy equal to the greatness of his designs a spritely turning wit readily stored with determinations and resolves according as occasion required and just proper for the times in which he lived To these qualities of the mind were joyned ornaments of the body no less commendable patient sufferance of labour singular sobriety a venerable yet gracious aspect a strong souldierly constitution agility of members so well disposed that he was often seen to swim in all his arms against the stream of a swift River and wonderful activity whereby both in Wrestling Tennis and Military exercises he did far exceed the ability of all other men and finally such concording union in the vigour of his mind and body that he gained not only an universal admiration but extorted praises from the mouths of his very Enemies Yet were not these vertues without the defects of humane frailty For doubleness and dissimulation were in him turned into nature and vain-glory and ambition were so powerful over the temperature of his disposition that from the very beginning they made him embrace the command of the Catholick Faction and in process of time from the necessity of defending himself from the Kings subtil policies put him easily upon the precipitate design of attaining by most difficult hidden ways to the succession of the Crown and finally the boldness of his own nature and his usual contempt of all others brought him unadvisedly to utter ruine Lewis the Cardinal though he came far short imitated the courage and vertue of his Brother for he always shewed a ready wit a lively spirit a constant mind and magnanimity equal to his birth but the turbulency of his thoughts and precipitate boldness of his nature took off very much from the opinion which at first was conceived of him for his too much ardour his desire of new things his despising of dangers and his unquietness of mind which have some kind of lustre in a Military profession seemed not to have the same decency in a Spiritual life and an Ecclesiastical habit The execution of the two Brothers being past the others that had been imprisoned were diversly kept and guarded The Duke of Nemours either having corrupted his Keepers with money or taking opportunity by their negligence or by the Kings assent and connivance as many thought because knowing his nature he believed him rather more apt to hinder and disturb than to favour and compose the affairs of the League escaped the fourth day from the place where he was not very strictly looked to and by unknown ways with only one Servant went secretly toward Paris Anne d' Este Mother to him and to the dead Princes of Lorain was also voluntarily freed by the King having shewed her many demonstrations of compassion whether he was moved with the pity of her age or that the splendour of her blood or her being born of one of the Daughters of King Lewis made him give her the more respect La Chapelle Compan Cotteblanche the Lieutenant of Amiens the Count de Brissac and the Sieur de Bois-Dauphin because they were in the number of the Deputies the Assembly of the States having made an appeal complaining that the Law of Nations was violated forasmuch as the Deputies were Ambassadors and Messengers from their several Provinces were set at liberty But the same happened not to the Archbishop of Lyons though he was one of the Deputies nay President of the Clergy for the King often desired to have him examined by the Archbishop of Beauvois as a Peer of France sometimes by the Cardinal of Condy sometimes by the Judges of the Great Council he had always refused to answer lest he should prejudice the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction wherein as Primate of all France he said he had no other Superiour but the Apostolick Sea though the King and his Ministers alledged that they impeached him not as Archbishop of Lyons though so in cases of Rebellion and Treason the King pretended to have Jurisdiction over him but as a Counsellor of State for which cause the King being exasperated and thinking that his refusal to answer proceeded from a foul guilty Conscience would not consent to his enlargement though his Nephew the Baron de Lux took much pains about it and though the Deputies were much troubled at the Kings denial Pelicart the Secretary of the dead Duke and some others of his nearest Servants were often examined and having drawn as much from them as they could by the Kings command who scorned to defile himself with mean blood were set at liberty But the Cardinal of Bourbon who wept like a Child for the death of the Lords of Guise and was much afflicted for his own misfortune the Duke d' Elbeuf who by despair was fallen into an excess of melancholy so that he would neither endure to change his clothes cut his hair or use wonted decency about his person the Prince of Iainville who by the death of his Father began to be called Duke of Guise together with the Archbishop of Lyons were after not many days brought by the King himself to the Castle of Amboyse and there under the command of Captain du Gast were left in several Lodgings but with a good Garison and strict order to keep them fast At the very instant of the Cardinals death Colonel Alfonso Corso went away post to Lyons where Charles Duke of Mayenne the third Brother of the Guises stayed being appointed for the War in Dauphine with order to take him there upon the sudden and make him prisoner but he was prevented by Camillo Tolomei and the Sieur de Chaseron who being gone secretly from Blois the same day the Duke was killed and got unknown to Orleans took the way towards
restored But the Marquiss refused that the King should retain the Valley of Morienne and would not ratifie it without advertising the Duke and this by reason of his nature would have been a difficult impediment if good fortune had not removed the obstacle for the Duke about this time recovered Morienne with a great slaughter of Les Diguieres his Forces and on the other side Les Diguieres took a Fort which the Duke had built near Grenoble and having put the Garison to the Sword demolished it to the very ground wherefore there remaining nothing but Berre in Provence in the Dukes possession they agreed that he should restore that Town in present and that the business of the Marquesate should be decided by the Pope The Peace was concluded and subscribed by the Deputies upon the second day of May with express condition that it should not be published till a month after for the King of France desired that the English and Holland Ambassadors should first be gone from Court that the Peace might not be published in their presence and the Cardinal Archduke desired space to receive the Countersign of Blauet from Spain The Peace was published upon the seventh day of Iune in Paris and the same day at Amiens in the presence of the Legat and the Kings Deputies as by agreement it was likewise done at Bruxels all men generally rejoycing that after so long and so calamitous Wars the Kingdom of France distracted into so many Factions was at last re-united in the entire obedience of a Catholick French King to enjoy the fruitâ— and blessings of Peace for the future in recompence of so many past miseries and afflictions FINIS AN Alphabetical Table OF THE PRINCIPAL THINGS Contained in this HISTORY A.
