  • ...Isabell.
  • Emanuel the first.

In the yeare One thousand fiue hun∣dred and sixteene▪ King Frances the first began to warre in Sauoye, and the Lands of Piedmont, which he auouched to be∣long to him, in the right of Madame Lo∣uisa of Sauoye his Mother, who being of the first Bed, ought to succeede in the said Seigneuries, by the death of Duke Phillebert his Brother, and to precede Charles the third, who was despoyled of the most part of the pretended Lands, and dyed at Vercellis, aged threescore and seauen yeares, Anno One thousand fiue hundred fiftie and foure, leauing for Suc∣cessour (by the death of his Bretheren) his eldest Sonne

XXVII. Emanuel Phillebert, nourish∣ed (during his yonger yeares) in the Court of the Emperour Charles the fift, King of Spaine.

By the vnhappie Treatie of Peace, made betweene King Henry the second, and Dom Phillip the second, King of Spain at Chasteau-Chambresis, the third day of Aprill, One thousand fiue hundred fif∣tie and nine, after the Feast of Easter: the King acquitted, rendered and released to the King of Spaine, these places, Townes and Castels of Thionuille (Theodonis Villa) Marienbourg; Yuoy; Danuilliers; Mom∣medy; Hesdin and her Bailiwicke; the Countie of Charolois in the Duchie of Bourgongne, of the Homage and Iurisdi∣ction of the Crowne of France; the Cit∣tie of Valentia in the Dukedome of Mil∣layne: with all the Fortifications which our Kings had made for Mil∣laine, at vncredible expences. And the King of Spaine rendered to vs but Saint Quentins, Le Catelet and Hames.

To the Duke of Mantua, all the Mar∣quisate of Montferrat.

To the Duke of Florence, the Valley of Montalsin, and those places which the King held in Tuscanie, and in the Estate of Sienna.

By this miserable Treatie, hurtfull to France, the King receiued into Grace, those of Geneway, his mortall enemies, who had rebelled so oftentimes, and yet brought still vnder our Kings obedience. Surrendring also to them, all the places which he held in the Isle of Corsica, with∣out demolishing any thing there.

Euery one well knoweth, that the Marquisate of Saluces hath alwayes re∣lied on Daulphine, which belongeth to the Monarches of the Lillies, and is the title of their first borne Sons: and that

Page 307

to Madam Louisa, Great Mother to the said King Henry the second, appertained the Dukedome of Sauoye and Piedmont, wherof King Frances the first made him∣selfe Maister, and the Possession still con∣tinued by the same King Henry the se∣cond. But yet, thorow bad counsell, and notwithstanding the protestations and remonstrances of the Courts of Parlia∣ment; of the very greatest Lords and Captaines of France; of the Gouernors of the places, as Montferrat, Tuscanie, Millayne, Geneway, Piedmont, Saluces: Bres¦cia and Sauoye (which in those times then were places of Honour, where the No∣bilitie of France exercised their desire of doing well, to fashion and make them∣selues apt for Armes) and which was then thought necessary (for the good of France) to yeelde recompence to the Duke of Sauoye, with Lands and Seig∣neuries seated in the midst of France. Notwithstanding all these Remonstran∣ces and protestations, the King (in a rash and ruinating prodigalitie, and hurtfull for euer to France) surrendered to the said Duke Emanuell Phillebert, three hun∣dred as well Townes, as Castles & stron∣gest places in the Dukedome of Sauoye; the Counties of Brescia and of Baugie; of Morianna, Tarenaisa; the Vicariat of Barcelonetta; the Principalitie of Pied∣mont, and the Contie of Ast, the aunci∣ent Patrimonie of the House of Orleans. Nothing remaining to the Crowne of France, of all her famous Conquests in Italie, but onely fiue poore places, as namely, the Townes and Castles of Turine, Quiers, Pigneroll, and Ville-Neufue d'Ast, with their Commands.

By which vnfortunate Treatie, the said Duke Emanuel Phillebert tooke to wise Madam Margaret of France, onely Sister to King Henry the second; to whom was giuen for maintenance (during her life) the Duchie of Berry, and three hundred thousand Crownes of ready Money at her Marriage; wherein was borne their onely Sonne

  • Maurice Emanuel, Cardinall of Sauoye.
  • ...Thomas.
  • Margaret, wife to Frances Gonzaga, Prince of Mantua.

The same Duke of Sauoye, in the yeare fourescore and eight, when France (by the practises of a furious madded League) saw it selfe on all sides swarming with Soul∣diours, by an intelligence of the conspiring pursuers,* 1.10 well wadged with Spanish Pistoles, possessed themselues of the Marquisate of Saluces against the Crowne of France, with purpose to proceede for conquering Prouence, and make seizure on Daulphine. The easinesse of inuading Saluces, made him stampe Moneyes of Ducates, with a new figure and Legend, on the one side his picture, and for a Legend round a∣bout, his name, titles and the yeare. On the other side was a Centaure, trampling his feete vpon a Crowne, with this word Oportune.

King Henry the third, of holy memory, and Mirrour of good Princes, sunke vn∣er the burden of so bloudy a conspiracie, executed vpon his State & life,* 1.11 his Reigne full of troubles, and so was his Successour King Henry the Great: all which gaue way and time to the Duke, both to maintaine and conserue his Conquest. Vntill the Treatie of Veruines in Piccardie, made betweene his most Christian Maiestie, and the Catholique King, wherein the Duke entreated to be comprehended. Which Treatie beareth date the eight day of Iune, One thousand fiue hundred fourescore and eigh∣eene, wherein was namely signified by the ninth Article.

Que pour la restitution du Marquisate de Saluces, & autres differends entre le Roy, & le Duc; ils s'en remettoient au iugement & arbitrage de nostre Sainct Pere le Ppe

Clement Huictiesme, pour les iuger & decider dans vn An.

That for the restitution of the Marquisate of Saluces, and other differences betweene the King and Duke: they should commit them to the arbitrage and iudgement of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Holy Father the Pope, Clement the eight, to descide and iudge them within a yeare space.

The Duke perswading hmselfe, that he should sooner (and better) facilitate his af∣faires in person; came to the Court of France the thirteenth day of December, at en∣ding the yeare fourescore and nineteene, and was lodged in the Hostell of Nemo at Paris,* 1.12 where he remained vntill the first day of March, being Ashwednesday, in the yeare One thousand sixe hundred. The Duke at his departure promised the King, that in exchange for the Marquisate of Saluces, he would giue him the Coun∣ties of Brescia and Baugie. Which being not executed within compasse of the time prefixed; in the Moneth of August following, the King iournied to Brescia, and into Sauoye, whereof he possessed himselfe within lesse then sixe weekes, not meeting with any to make resistance.* 1.13 And perforce the Duke was constrained, by media∣tion of the Pope, and of his Legate in Sauoye the Cardinall Aldobrandino, to come to an agreement. And thereupon a Treatie was made betweene the King and Duke, in the Citie of Lyons the tenth day of Ianuarie, in the yeare One thousand sixe hun∣dred and one; Where the Duke yeelded and transported to the most Christi∣an King, and to his Successours the Kings of France, in manner and forme fol∣lowing.

A Breuiate of the Treatie at Lyons, betweene the King of France, Henry the Great, and the Duke of Sauoye.
