Anno 1529.

Charles the Emperor earnestly desired to go over into Italy by Sea, there to receive the Imperial Crown at the Hand of the Pope. To this purpose he was reconciled with him, after so many Discontents and Affronts, and promised to give his Bastard Daughter Margaret in Marriage to Alexander de Medicis, as also to restore that Family to its Coun∣try. At the same time he renewed the League with the King of France, the Embas∣sadors * 1.1 of both Princes meeting to that purpose at Cambray, on the Frontiers of France and Flanders. He sent home that Kings two Sons ransomed for Two Millions of Gold, and with them sent his Sister Ellenor who was to be Married to that King. From this time forward the Low Countries were wholly exempted from the Jurisdiction of France, and on the other side Burgundy was entirely made over to that Crown.

It remained now to agree the Differences with Portugal, about the Molucco Islands. It * 1.2 was concluded that the King of Portugal should lend the Emperor 350000 Ducats, upon Condition that till such time as that Sum was repayed, the Castillians should forbear Trading in those Islands, or laying any Claim to them.

This done, the Emperor went over by Sea into Italy. Solyman the Great Turk, at the Instigation of John the Vayvod of Transilvania, laid Siege to Vienna, which was * 1.3 bravely defended by Philip the Count Palatin, who was in it with a strong Garison.
