The Bishop of Rome was thus besieged till the eight Ides of July,1 at which day he yielded himself for necessity and penury of all things in the Castle, and then he was restored to give Graces and grant Bulls as he did before: but he tarried still in the Castle of S. Angel, and had a great number of Almains & Spaniards to keep him: but the Spaniards bare most rule in the Castle, for no man entered nor came out of the Castle but by them. When the month of July came, corn began to fail in Rome, and the pestilence began to wax strong: wherefore the great army removed to a place called Narma, xl. mile from Rome,2 leaving behind them such as kept the Bishop of Rome.

When they were departed, the Spaniards never were contented till they had gotten the Almains out of the Castle of S. Angel, and so they had the whole custody of the Pope. And thus much for the sacking of Rome. Ex Paralip. Abbat. Ursper.
