Here the Abbot of Urspurge sumeth, that so great a wickedness should be committed of a Pope. There arose by the Popes means and motions, great factions in Italy, of the Guelphians and Gibilines. Clement the fourth, brought in the french Army, by the conduct of king Charles, into the kingdom of Naples: and put Conrad Duke of Swalande from his inheritance, and caused him and Frederick Duke of Austryce to be slain together, with many thousands of the Germans. Pope John the two and twenty, armed Frederick Duke of Austria, and Leopold, against the Emperor Lewes the fourth, of the house of Bavier. Boniface the eight, commanded king Albert Duke of Austria, to bear Hostile banners against Philip the French King. As Martin the fifth stirred up a grievous war against the Bohemers. Eugenius the fourth, betrayed the Conqueror Ladislaus king of Poll and Hungary, to Amurathes the great Turk, to be vanquished ⟨p. 485⟩and slain through treason, sending his Legate Julian Caesarinus Cardinal about the practise, which perished also in that unlucky overthrow.

In the which war was taken Philippe the Landgrave of Hesse, & John Frederick Duke of Saxon, Prince Elector. Great villainy and cruelty, was wrought by the soldiers in Germany. Pope July the third, began to dally with the frenchmen: and stirring up the war of Parma and Mirandula, brought the frenchmen to Senes. There arose a most grievous war by sea and land, both in France, and Italy and also in Germany, which endureth at this day:
