Hall's Chronicle 1492. Shortely after this Charles the French King concluded a league with Ferdinand King of Spain, and also being entreated and solicited with the orations of diverse princes, which, persuaded and mollified the stony heart of a frozen prince, caused him to come to communication and treaty with Maximilian King of Romans, and to conclude a peace with him for a season, to the intent that he might without disturbance of his neighbours adjoining, prosperously and safely make war on Ferdinand King of Naples, and on all Italy, as he before had minded and excogitated.
Hall's Chronicle 1492. And so Charles, being furnished with men, of arms, horsemen, footmen, navy, and aid of some Italians, passed through Italy by Rome and without any great labour won the city of Naples. When he had obtained this victory: in his return being assailed with the Venetians at the town of Fornovo, he had a great dangerous victory. And so like a conqueror, with great triumph returned into his realm and country. After him Louis the 12th being Kinge, when he found opportunity and saw the gap open, invaded the Italians again, and recovered again the realm of Naples, which Frecleryck the son of King Alphonse, not long before had gotten from the French nation: and after that he subdued and conquered the whole duchy of Milan. Albeit not long after (fortune turning her wheel) he lost both the Kingdom of Naples, and the fair city and duchy of Milan both together. And so the Frenchmen warring upon the Italians had no better success in their conquests, then their parents and predecessors heretofore have been accustomed. For undoubtedly, as many places as they vexed and sacked with murder and spoiling, so many or more in conclusion they did ennoble and decorate with their blood and slaughter. Which small recompense little profited and less relieved, such as before were robbed and spoiled of all their goods, substance and riches. After this the Spaniards arrived in Italy, and their putting to flight the Frenchmen, obtained the possession of the realms of Naples and Sicily, the which they possess and enjoy at this hour. And at length a certain nation of Germany, called the Swytsers, called to be partakers of the spoil of Italy, wane certain towns there, which they possess and enjoy at this present time.
