in the geattiÌ„g of the couÌ„trey at theyr backes in takyng of their victuals and setting vpoÌ„ Norling a citye of great reputacion and in keping of the same from Norling he put theÌ„ an other time bi arte for his maiesty did take from them Tonauert and gat al the cities and townes vpoÌ„ Danubia vnto Vlme He did take away from theÌ„ the forward waies to such cities where they might haue any succour or aid being the principals of al the power by the losse whereof all their enterprise did stand at an adueÌ„ture The fourth time was this At Gangone where nowe they haue bene dislodged parforce reason of the warre as it may be euidentlye knowen by thys that I haue written I wil not leaue one thyng vnwrytten although it be but a Soldiers terme it maye come to the purpose to thys that I haue sayde The Almaynes haue a saying that when the Lantgraue doothe manase anye manne he threatneth hym saying I wyll make thee to go a loofe This is the name of a town where he gaue one ouerthrow to one army whereof the makes his great boast The soldiers reken vpoÌ„ this saying the LaÌ„t graue hath threatned vntyll nowe that he woulde make vs go aloofe but for to paye hym withal we haue sent hym nowe froÌ„ Gangone This in theyr tounge hath a propertye of grace in wordes amongest soldiers as Poyses myllitar whyche hathe strength and vertue Â¶ Nowe to tourne to the purpose the Emperour returned to his lodging and because he woulde get tyme for the next day he caused the footemen and artilery to be spedely in order and then after a litle collacion he parted froÌ„ thence in a darke snow At two of y e clocke after midnight he came to the lodging where he had left the Duke with the horsemen and hackbutters Hispantards as I haue said The footemeÌ„ came diligently after we dyd see their fyers that they hadde made and they might see ours but leauing their fyers burniÌ„g they weÌ„t on their waies so that when it was mornyng they had passed the ryuer of Preuse taking there a lodging nere vnto a castel belonging to the Duke of Viertemburge Â¶ Thys nyght Lewes Onixiâ—â— captaine of Lumbardy weÌ„t for to see the doinges of the enemyes who made relacion that he had sene them and that they were on foote ready to depart thys was referred to the Emperour wheÌ„ it was lyght daye but the snowe which was fallen in the night and then snowyng was two foote depe wherefore our Soldiers were so weary and so dispersed sekyng where for to warme them that it would haue grudged a man for to haue seene them and the horses troubled wyth the euil night being wythoute meate sadeled and brydeled all daye before it was a double trauayle but neyther the tyme nor the inconuenience nor yet the strong lodging of the enemyes myghte suffise but that the Emperour would folow except he should haue other disturbaÌ„ce as not haue vyctualles or not to haue lodgyng nere vnto hys enemyes or for lacke of forradge for oure horses the whych wythout great trauayle then coulde not be had All those partes beyng gotten and destroyed wyth the hoste of oure ennemyes so that thorowe theyr longe beyng there and by the rodes that we had made it was impossible for horses to endure For wee were broughte into the same necessitye whereunto wee hadde broughte our enemyes for they hadde the fruitefull Countrey of Viertemburge vppon theyr backes whyche waye they made theyr muster Wherefore the Emperour beyng inforced of necessitye by famine most terrible of all other in warres and moreouer wyth the harde and sharpe weather the enemyes hauing the forewarde so that it was thoughte inconuenyent to continue the campe but hys Maiestye was determynes for to followe them and seeynge vpon the other part that the wether was so terrible as it begon to be he wold not they should lacke meate drinke or lodging So that night we came late to the lodging with al the caÌ„pe which was necessary to all men for we were sore trauailed but wee refreshed our selues with victuals some rest so that we myght the better labour and folowe our busynes afterwarde Â¶ This dislodging of y e Duke and Launtgraue at Gangon was the substancial pointe of the warre for from that time foorth they were vtterly broken dispersed as hereafter foloweth But before that I wryte I thynke best to touche one thing that in al this warre thei haue not offered vs occasions I do not say that we myght fyght wyth anye aduantage nor yet egallye that we myghte so doo sithe this being of a truth as it is offering hath not bene euen in dede but set aparte for battailes be venterous as wee maye geat so may we leese as it is daylye sene If we had lost it is clearly sene what we had lost if we had won it was impossible to be without great losse of bloud in our army a great part therof to be broken the cities in Germanye being whole So although we had had the victorye we should haue bene constrained wyth a brokeÌ„ army to haue resisted a new power and thâ—â— appeareth clearely sithe nowe the enemies be broken the campe of his matestye standyng whole now the cities of Germanye may haue a respect to that thei haue taken in hande so that to my iudgement it had bene a greater honour to the Emperour to deface his enemies hys armye being whole then wyth any losse thereof It is a common prouerbe bloudy victory attribuite to the soldiours vyctory without bloud honour to the Captayne Â¶ Nowe to tourne to the order of my wrytyng I say that the Emperoure lodged two dayes in thys lodgyng called the Emperours lodgyng there he hadde knowledge that the enemyes were gone from Laugingam and deuided in twoo partes the one was of the folkes of the cities which did take the way to August to Vlme the other were y e horsmen of the duke of Saxon and the Lantgraue as it apeared thei did take the way toward FraÌ„nckonia and without dout if thei might haue bene lordes of that prouince warres should haue bene new to begyn for they might haue rauÌ„somed many riche townes bishoprickes they might haue leaued a great som of mony with great aboundance of victuals good lodging which be â— thynges sufficient to succour a caÌ„pe going broken traueled The Emperor being aduertised what y e enemies inteÌ„ded to do as he had before suspect he raised his campe marched toward NorliÌ„g in a troublous weather of frost snow in .ij. lodginges he came within a mile of the towne â–ª to a village called Boâ—ingaÌ„ for this was the right way to RoteÌ„burge wher he enteÌ„ded to be before the coÌ„ming of the enemies there for to fight with them by the way it was easye to be taken the forehand for they roued farre about and out of the waye but his Maiestye

to kepe the reste Then with his campe he tooke the waye to Ingulstat where the enemyes entended to campe It is from Rattesbone to Ingulstat .ix. leagues whiche .ix. were deuyded in foure iourneys so he came with his campe to a place vpon Danubia called Newstat there was a bridge but he caused two other to bee made of the barges whiche he brought in his campe for he determined to passe the riuer in any wise Â¶ His maiesty being thus purposed he was enfourmed that the duke of Saxon and the Lantgrane with al their campe vpon the other side of Danubia had taken the way to Rattesbone an enterprise well vndertaken His maiesty sent foure hundred Spanyardes hackbutters horsed .ii. baners of Dutchmen the whiche by their diligence the same nighte y t they were sente entred into Rattesbone the whiche was now sure For yf the enemyes came not it was safe And if thei came they might defend vntil thei might haue rescu froÌ„ the caÌ„p which might wel be had Danubia beyng betwixt vs and our enemies But they seing that Rattesbone was prouided or because thei perceiued that his maiestye would passe the riuer and lyiÌ„g at their backes might take away theyr vitayles beyng within iii. leagues of Rattesbone thei gaue a turne toward Ingulstat makyng great hast to be out of the woodes streyte passages where it was thought they might haue bene well ouertakeÌ„ But we hauing no know ledge of the countrey so that they with extreme diligeÌ„ce did geat the playne field so that when our lyght horsemen had passed the wode they wer nere into Ingulstat His maiesty in two daies passed the riuer and lodged his campe in a valley vpon a litle mouÌ„tayn nere vnto the riuer and this lodgyng was two myle froÌ„ Ingulstat This passage was of great importaunce for it did not onely cause the enemyes to bee aduised but also to be drieuen together and not to goe lyke Lordes in the fields as thei had done For this shewed them that his determinacioÌ„ was to fight when tyme and place might serue There our campe was fortified with a litle trenche for the duke of Aluoy had so takeÌ„ the grouÌ„d that it neded not to make any other There was alaruÌ„ although it was not true our souldiers were so well ordred that it might bee euidentlye sene how willyng they wer to fight Â¶ At the ende of two dayes the Emperour parted from theÌ„ce wheÌ„ he hadde newes that the enemyes were lodged on the other parte of Ingulstat sixe myles Wherfore he made spede to take theyr lodgyng that they had lefte the daye before that he departed from his Nowe it was conueniente that the Emperour should make haste towarde Jugulstat and not to leaue it in peryl to be taken with the enemies For why from thence they myght lightlye haue distourbed monsuer de Bure from ioynyng with oure campe or elles they myght haue taken theyr lodgyng betwixte it and the place where we hadde lodged But the Emperour consyderyng howe muche it did importe beeyng now so nere vnto the enemies to be euer their superiour in lodgyng he sente to viewe two lodgynges the one was a league from Ingulstat whiche I haue spoken of and in oure waye And the other neare vnto Ingulstat vpon the other syde for it behoued to take that nexte vnto the towne before the commyng of oure campe the other in oure waye was good to be taken Before that his maiestye shoulde sette foorth his campe his intencion was to haue these two so that if he mighte not occupye that nexte vnto Ingulstat yet that he myght lodge in the other and therfore the daye before he hadde sent John Baptista Gastaldo mayster of the Campe generall for to bee particularlye viewed â–ª And he with al spede that might bee the next daye in the mornyng remoued his campe the whiche went in partz vawarde battayle The baggage and artillery vpon our left hand vpoÌ„ the riuer side Our horsmen vpoÌ„ the ryght hande and the footemen iÌ„ the midst The duke of Aluoy did leade the vaward and the Emperor the battayl With the Duke weÌ„t the marques Albert and his horsemen and the master of Pruse And with the Emperour the Duke of Austriche and the prince of Pyemont the marques John of BrandeÌ„burge The Hispanyardes Dutchmen and Italyans moued confyrmably to the order that was geuen them so they went in the vawarde in the battayle The Emperor marchyng approched the firste lodgyng that I haue spoken of and there he rested a litle whylest the batail was coÌ„myng For now the vaward was euen at hande and there he toke the duke of Aluoy and .xx. horsmeÌ„ with hym and rode vnto Ingulstat for to be holde the other lodgyng nere thereunto Â¶ It is nedeful particularly to know that the same day the Emperor seÌ„t the duke of Aluoy the prince of Salmona and Don Antony de Tolledo with part of the light horsmen and two hundred hackbutters Hispanyardes horsed for to haue knoweledge of the enemies with whom they had a fayre and ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ skyrmish the enemies being come forth therto with great streÌ„gth But the skirmishe beyng the one parte the other retired they turned again and came foorth increasing so theyr â–ª number in Esquadrons that the Emperour was certified that they wer comming with al their campe to battayle so it was necessary to set al thinges in order The Emperor coÌ„maunded the duke of Aluoy y t he should take hede in al pointes to the proceding of the enemies He turned into y e place where he had staide the vaward and the batail in y e lodging aforesayde being in the waye chosing a place mete for to fight He sette the footemen in place conuenient and the artillerye and horsemeÌ„ where thei should staÌ„d And so they stode loking for the comming of the enemies which made countenance y t thei would fight I thinke vnder correccion of better iudgement y t if thei had come y t daye to fyght with vs by the way they might haue put all thinges in greate auenture although we had taken a place fauorable ynough for oure auauntage But it semed to the Emperour that thei would not fight that daye seyng that thei had differred the tyme so long for it was somwhat late but the duke sent him worde for to stay for he thought the enemyes made a greate muster to passe forwarde but incoÌ„tinent he sent hym word to kepe on the waye with his campe for the enemyes beganne to retyre vnto theyrs This varyaunce was a cause of the late departure For the Emperoure seeyng howe muche more he shoulde aduenture in tarrying then to come late that nyght and howe muche he shoulde geue vnto his enemyes to geue them one nyght parte of the other day and space to ameâ—â—â— thâ—ir lodgynges that they had erred when that thei had not disturbed our caÌ„pe by the wai he came although it was late vnto his lodgyng whiche

so nere together coulde not deserne one another The enemyes by the helpe of the mist which for a truth maye be called helpe they folowed the way to Norling They passed ij passages before they could be discouered wyth our horsmenne so that by â—ij of the clocke in the daye they had passed these two streygtes and daungerous ryuer and gotten the mountayne going toward NorliÌ„g They had a great time for they weÌ„t al the night and after in the day in the myst so close that it serued them as well as the nyghte They marched so dyligently and wyth suche speede that it woulde neuer haue bene thoughte that the Almaynes whych seme to beslouthful heauy would haue made suche speede but we haue sene the experience in thys warre that they can warlyke rayse theyr caÌ„pe in good order their cariage together with their artileri in place coÌ„uenieÌ„t at al times wheÌ„ nede shal require And seing that I haue said so much I wil say more of that we haue experience of thys nacion This it is they can rayse their caÌ„pe as I haue sayde and chonse sure strong lodging haing a respect to al coÌ„modities that may be for a caÌ„pe yet ther is an other thiÌ„g that I note muche in them that in their skirmyshing they come out stronglye retier warrely beginning with theyr lyght horses which they cal blacke taking the name of theyr blacke harnes which they beare with sieues of mayle shorte dagges of ij palmes of length and iauelyns with which they are very handsome And as for theyr footemen they keepe good order caÌ„ take great aduaÌ„tage wyth artilerie They can breake victuals from theyr enemyes set emboyses and other lyke feates of warre to good purpose Thys was the dylygence of our enemies by the help of the night after of the mist Nowe his maiesty had seene our campe in order and when it was cleare day the duke of Aluoy came and certyfied hym that he thought they wold geue battaile for he had sene them in order ready for that purpose To the which his maiesty aunswered In the name of god For yf the enemyes would fight so would he These wer his woordes in suÌ„me sitting on horsebacke for because of y e goute he might not stand on foote He did take his curates braselets and moued the campe in this ordre Â¶ The duke dyd leade the vaward with hym y e Erle of Bure with al his horsemen and foremen In this vaward went al the fotemeÌ„ of Spayne and shortly after wente his maiestie the horsemen of hys house and court and the bendes of Flaunders which went with theyr standerdes There went the prince of Pyemont to whom his maiestye had geuen charge in those warres with y e esquadron of his house and the court There went also Maximilian the prince of HuÌ„garye with al his horsemeÌ„ The marques IhoÌ„ of Brandemburge with his The fotemeÌ„ of the battaile wer the regiment of Madrucho and the Italyans the rerewarde was conducted by the great maister of Prence and the marques Albert the regimente of George of Ranspruge The vaward did leade sixtene or seuentene thousaÌ„d fotemeÌ„ in thre esquadroÌ„s thre thousaÌ„d horses The rereward might be .viii. thousand fotemen ii M. horsemen in one esquadron The horsemen of these three partes wer deuided coÌ„firmably for y e necessitie setting y e black harnes in place conueniente the menne of armes with their launces in their places The rereward the battayle went as it wer egal for why his maiesty would honor the captaynes whiche wer willing in such a day to mete y e enmies in froÌ„t not to be left behiÌ„d Â¶ It is to be vnderstande y t before the breaking vp of the myste the Prince of Salmona hadde begonne a skirmish with the enemies at the commyng of the Emperour It was so hote that his maiesty seÌ„t the Earle of Bure with his horsemenne to bee nere vnto the riuer whatsoeuer might chauÌ„ce Al thiÌ„ges being in these termes now y e battail of his matesty had made egal with y e vawarde coÌ„ming to y e shore And ther he toke y e duke of Aluoy other captains weÌ„t vpoÌ„ a mouÌ„taiÌ„ where he might se what y e enemies did In some thiÌ„ges ther it did appere y t thei would accept y e battel come down into the plain lying betwene y t hils the riuer To y e whiche they were muche procured on our part with a new skirmish of back butters y t wer sent ouer the water But they kepte the mouÌ„taines going toward Norling and now their vaward had takeÌ„ their lodging His maiesty made the campe to stay but now the Erle of Bure had proued the passages with certaine horsemen but it was streyte trauelous to be done late and farre of the day But this day it had beeÌ„ foughteÌ„ without any dout if the miste had not couered the enemies so long time vntyll they had passed the streightes passages aforesayd feding vs with skirmishes to their aduauntage for our horses could not passe the ryuer in any order our fotemen wadiÌ„g through the water should haue foughteÌ„ with great trauaile but they tooke an other counsel for they dyd take a lodging easy to be kept with lesse power then they hadde but nowe as I haue sayd it was late and tyme to turne vnto our campe and the enemyes in the mountaynes dyd the same This night they loste manye souldiers cartes which our horsemen did take Â¶ The other day his maiestye thought best to rayse his campe and to goe nere vnto the enemies and so in the self and same order as the day before he went ouer against them toke a place for his lodgiÌ„g one mile and an half froÌ„ theyr campe where the same day was foughten a skyrmish of horsmen In the which the marques John of Brandenburge with .xxx. of his horsmeÌ„ did fyght agaiÌ„st one of y e dukes of BruÌ„zwique which came with y e campe of y e enemies he was hurt after died of his wouÌ„des at Norling other notable meÌ„ of theirs which wer hurt slain y t day some of ours likewise Â¶ His maiesty beiÌ„g there lodged certain daies sekiÌ„g by al meanes to haue theÌ„ in chase but thei wer so setled to their purpose for vitailes that he did know it was necessary for to moue the reason of the warre and not to lye caÌ„ping and lesing of time without anye profite agaynste the enemies whiche were so stronglye lodged that for to remoue them it behoued rather to vse pollicye then force ther about he was determined to worke And thought whiche way he might take awaye from theÌ„ Danubia the which was so necessary for both y e campes y t to my iudgement a great parte of the victory did consiste in the geatting thereof for the townes standing therupon be of great importance to be lordes of the bridges for to goe into

that it was thought that he shoulde not be able for to ryde of long tyme but there was such diligence with al thynges that might be found for his health that he began to amende and was able to walke Â¶ At this time John Frederike duke of Saxon had encreased his campe and began to be a lord ouer all for he had taken the Marques Albert in this sorte The Marques was in a place called Rockeles for they which kept the warres against the duke John were set in fronte against him Duke Morres was in Frayberge the king of Romaynes in Tresson y e Marques Albet with x. baners .viij. C. horsemen in the place aforesaid Moreouer they had furnished Suybisa and Lipsia the which had bene a litle before assayled but it was so well defended by the soldiers that his assaultes were al in vayne This towne of Rokelez was belonging to a Lady widdow and sister to the LaÌ„tgraue y e whiche did entertaine the Marques Albert with daunces bankettes after the custome of Almayne shewyng so great amitie that he became more neglygent then a good Capytayne oughte for to be in the warres And on the other parte she aduysed the duke of Saron being in garde .iij. leagues from thence wyth .j. bende of horsmen and syxe baners of foote men whych on the other daye dylygentlye and earlye in the mornyng came vpon the Marques Alberte which would in any wyse fyghte in the playne fieldes and there he was taken fyghtyng more lyke a valyaunt knyghte then a politique Captayne Â¶ There haue beene dyuers opinions for some dooe saye that the place might not be defended Other saye that if he hadde taryed there the duke Morres being nere thereby wyth hys horsmen myghte haue rescued hym Other say iâ— he hadde kepte the foure banuers whyche he lodged in the Bourawghe he hadde not hadde the ouerthrowe but for al these opinions it came to this that he lost .v. C. horses kylled and taken and many of the rest weÌ„t to the Duke of Saxon which had gotten al the baners of the footemeÌ„ other wer taken and sworne not for to serue agaynste hym as is the custome of Almayne The Marques was broughte to Gotte a stronge holde of the Dukes Â¶ Nowe after thys victorye it was thoughte that he woulde haue gone against the Duke Morres he being so nere at hande but leauyng them in Frabrige he began to haue a respect concerning the affayres in Boemia he sent Thumsern with vj. C. horsmen and .xij. baners they being at thys tyme lordes Gouernours of the vale Laquimistal thorowe the good wyll and dissimulacion of the Beâ—mose for this dissimulacion was the foundacion of al his cast and compasse Thys referred vnto the Emperoure he seeing that the king and duke Morres sustained these warres in the keeping of the principal holdes and that thei set not forth of them for to attempte theyr fortune He set forth in haste from Norling where a litle before had bene the Burgemaisters of Argentine a riche and mighty city as it is saide and there they submytted them selues to be vnder the obedyence of his maiesty with such coÌ„dicions as it hath pleased hys maiestye to accepte them whiche was neuer graÌ„ted to any emperor in time past 1. First that they should forsake al the leagues which they had made taking a othe not for to enter into anye where the house of Austriche was not the first 2. And to chastise al those soldyers of theyr citye that hath beene against his maiesty 3. Laying a greuous payne vp on al them that shal go against him hereafter 4. And to cast out of their citye al rebels offendours against hys maiesty Amongest the which there was one captayne generall whose name was William the Erle of FusteÌ„berge who excused him selfe with al dylygence and iustificacions that myghte be 5. Thei deliuered vnto his maiesty al theyr artilery and municion at hys pleasure as other cities had done with other particulers whych I dooe omytte to wryte because I wyll followe the breuitye that I haue begon sythe it may be set forth more at large in somuche that the Emperour hath opened to them so large a fielde that they may wel extende theyr subtil stile how great so euer they be I ensure you they shal remaine inferiours in the matter Â¶ Nowe the Emperour parted from Norling he dyd take the way to NewreÌ„berge with .ii. regimentes of Almaines of the olde Soldiers of the Marques of Marenan and of Illeprande the whyche a lyttle before the departyng of the Emperoure from Vlme he died of a burnyng Agewe The Emperour loste in hym a good seruaunt and a soldyer of greate experyence and of greate reputacion in Almayne besyde theese twoo Regymentes He commaunded an other whyche was made and set forth by a knight of Sucuer called Hanse Walter he had also the leading of the footemeÌ„ of Spaine and the men of Armes of Naples with .vj. C. light horses and a. M. Dutche horsemen belonging to y e Taichemaster and to the Marques John and to the Duke of Austriche Â¶ The Emperor had sent before the Duke of Aluoy which had lodged his campe about NewreÌ„berge except certaine baners which taryed to wayte vpon his maiesty The Duke being at NewreÌ„berge prepared al thinges necessary for the Emperours coÌ„ming leauing there .viij. baners as it required for the Emperours authoritye And it was necessarye for although the nobles of the countrey he muche imperial yet the multitude of the people which be a great nomber and many tymes furious and worthy to be brideled as theÌ„ they were The Emperour was receiued into theyr citye with great demonstracion of pleasure he was lodged in the castell for the space of v. or .vj. daies for the assembling of hys campe and for to recouer hys healthe for yet hys indisposicions were not all quieted Â¶ Who well consydereth thys warre it seemeth to be all one thys present being a brauÌ„che of the other whyche is past in some case there is reason but to my iudgement it is not one warre for the first the Emperour hath finished in the defactioÌ„ of the mighty power in the campe of the league The cities thereof rendered some of theyr greatest princes so y t as coÌ„cerning this warre of y e league it semeth to be ended The other of Saxoni although the duke was therein it is not to be accompted for a member but the head and principal of the other so parilous y t it was necessary for to haue the couÌ„saile accoÌ„panied with the determinacion the hardines of the Emperor Â¶ I wyll not make any boast of hys doynges for they be so great of them selues that it shoulde be euyll done of me if I shoulde make payment because he hath broughte me vp in his house wyth any lesynges although I acquite it with these trauayles beyng so worthye that they bring with theÌ„ admirations so that al men may meruel neither wyll I

dispraise the the enemies althoughe the Emperour who hath ouercome them semeth to be greater but to say the truthe sythe I am a wytnes for there was nothing done but I haue bene nere vnto hym froÌ„ Newremberge which was the way the Emperour did take for to mete with the king and duke Moreys at y e towne of Egner where by oportunitie of the place it was apoynted for to make the A masse of the warres that the kyng shoulde be there wyth hys horsmen and certayne banners of footemen and bryng wyth hym duke Morres with his nomber for so it was determined the time appointed to be done The king parted froÌ„ Tressen a towne belongyng to Duke Morres and to the Duke of Fraâ—brige leauing the strength of the enemies vpon the ryght hande They entered into Boeme for to come ouer the mountaines wherewith it is al enuironed and to ioyne with the Emperour in Egner but the Boemose made a muster then of their inteÌ„cions declaring that the great truste was not in vayne that the Duke of Saxon had in theÌ„ the why â–ª he extended so that it was the cause of manye opinions whiche I dooe not wryte because I dooe not know so much of a truth as it requireth to be wrytten Â¶ Nowe the Emperour beyng iij. iourneys from Newremberge there came a Gentleman from the kynge of Romaynes wyth knoweledge that sithe that the king duke Morres were entred into Boeme with theyr horsemen and footemen A knight of the countrey had gathered a great nomber to cut down the woodes in dyuers partes to stoppe the passages and the waies by the whyche the kyng was purposed to come to Egner wherefore he must go about thorow the mountaines the castels beloÌ„ging to the knightes there being with him Wherefore he required a nomber of hackbutters Hyspanyardes for to passe more strongly and for to haue the Lordshyp of the wood The Emperoure prouided for al thinges conuenient albeit that after it was no neede to haue the Hyspaniardes in thys passage for the knightes of the country whyche were come to serue didde so muche that they wer al broken and disparsed Thys knyght of Boeme came not wyth the men whyche he had assembled hys name is Gasper Flucke a principal man in that couÌ„trey from whoÌ„ in tyme past the king had taken landes and goodes and notwithout deseruing and sence liberally he gaue them to him again but it seemeth that he hath remembred more the takyng then the geuing thankes for the gyfte for it is euer the fyrst poynt of ingratitude to forgeat benefytes receyued Â¶ It is sayd that these knightes whyche mette together for to defende thys passage hadde made a bancket and after caste lottes
