This commission being sealed, the Gentlemen caused the Fortress to be built again, and put therein a garrison, and proclaimed the commission. The poor people being thereat amazed, withstood the Commissioners, and sent certain to the Duke: and immediately after the Commissioners returned to the Dukes Court, being at Nice, to inflame his anger more against them. But God soon prevented this mischief: For the Truchets being at Nice, went to the Sea, with divers noble men, and immediately they were taken prisoners by the Turks, put into the Galleys, sore beaten with ropes, and so cruelly handled, that it was commonly reported that they were dead: and long time after denying their nobility, were sent home,1 having paid 400. crowns for their ransom. Some say, that the Duke himself was almost taken, but it is sure that he fell sick soon after.
