THis yeare on the twelfth of Ianuarie in the* 1.1 three and sixtie yere of his age, died the Em∣peror MAXIMILIAN, hauing to preuent a disease, to which hee thought himselfe inclining, vnseasonably taken a Medicine of vncertaine op∣peration. His death bred an equall desire in the mindes of two great Princes, who became Com∣petitours for the Empire, FRANCIS King of France, and CHARLES King of Spaine. But
CHARLES, although King of Spaine, yet being by birth (borne at Gand) and discent a German, at the age of nineteene yeares was chosen Emperour of Germanie, with the full consent and sufferages of all the Princes Electors. This Election, how euer other slight matters were pretended, was vndoubted∣ly the cause of the ensuing dreadfull war betweene these Princes. The French King taking this repulse impatiently, meditates nothing but reuenge. And that his designes might no way be crossed by vs, he labors amain for the confirmation of the peace lately agreed vpon betweene HENRY and him. Therefore by the Admirall BONIVET he deales with WOLSEY, that at an enteruiew betweene the two Kings, the League might be ratified. To this end HENRY intends to come to Guisnes, FRANCIS to Ardres, and a conuenient place betweene both is made choice of for their enteruiew.
The death of the Emperor Maximilian.
