The Duke of Alua was bani- thed by the kings commandement,to Vzeda,fiue and twentie miles fromthe court, forthat Fredericke his eldeſt ſonne, being taken ar Tordefillas,a village ofthartRealme, for that he refuſed to marric with one of Qucene {/abellaof Valoysher maides, towhom (asthe laid)he had promiſed,whulcſt the king was entreatedby herfriends, to force himto marrie her, he by the aduiſe ofhis father, brake pri-

ſon,and was goneto Alua, tomarrie with Marie de Toleda his coſen,”

daughter vnto Garcie,, hewhich was Generalf at {ea, the which hee

effected, returning preſently vnto the ſame priſon. The Duke bare this affliction with great hunulitie and conſtancie, fo as all hatred ceaſing, his verie enimics did pittie hismiferie. This baniſhmenr was remarkeable, both for his eſtate, age, andthe notable ſeruices he had done vnto this crowne, as allo to ſee the integritie of the king, who notwithſtanding the neceſſitic he ſeemed to haue of his perſon in marters ofimporrance,thatdrewe neere, could not cauſe himany thing to difſemble the execution of that which he thought

firfor iuſtice,or his reputation: Itwasalſo remarkeable for the great | offices,which ſome Princes did in his fauour ; burmoſt of all his ho-

lines, who did inſtantly follicite his deliuerie by the meanes of his Nuno, laying, that although he coulde notpreſume of the kings iuſtintention, but that the Dukes impriſonment proceeded from ſome great cauſe; yet he couldenotinduty burperforme this office:

Itwas faide,this good will of the Pope towards the Duke, procee- .
