The cause why the Cardinal should bear the Emperor all this malice & grudge, after some writers, it appeareth to be thus. At what time as Pope Clement was taken prisoner (as is before said) the Cardinal wrote unto the Emperor, that he should make him Pope. But when he had received an answer that pleased him not, he waxed furious mad,1 and sought all means to displease the Emperor, writing very sharply unto him, many menacing letters, that if he would not make him Pope, he would make such a ruffling between christian Princes, as was not this 100. years before, to make the Emperor repent, yea though it should cost the whole Realm of England.
