Anno 1560.
On the 26th. of December last past Cardinal John Angelo de Medicis was chosen Pope. * 1.1 He took the Name of Pius the Fourth, and govern'd the Church 5 Years, 11 Months and 15 Days. Spain this Year was filled with Joy, not only for the arrival of their long∣wish'd-for King, but also for his Marriage which was consummated at Guadalajara in the Kingdom of Toledo, upon the 31th. day of January. This Joy was the greater, for that all Men hoped the Peace would be lasting. The Cardinal of Burgos and Duke del Infantado, went to the Borders of France to fetch the Bride. The great Solemniza∣tion of the Marriage was at Toledo, whither the King and new Queen went from Gua∣dalajara.

The Duke of Medina Celi, Viceroy of Sicily, took the Island of Gelves, but after he * 1.2 was Master of it, the Turkish Fleet coming upon him, he lost a great part of his own, and with much difficulty escaped himself. Among other Prisoners taken by the Turks were one of the Duke's Sons, D. Alvaro de Sande, and Sancho de Avila, brave Soldiers.
In France began the Tumults and Rebellion which lasted many Years under colour of * 1.3 Religion. To remedy these Troubles, the Three Estates or Parliament of France met at Orleans, where several good Laws were enacted, but never observed. Francis the new King of France died in that City on the 5th. of December: His Brother Charles the Ninth of the Name, being then but nine Years old, succeeded him.
