Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Dukes of Urbino, Vol. 3 of 3: Illustrating the Arms, Arts, and Literature of Italy, From 1440 to 1630
As soon as the Pope had ratified the truce of the I sth March, he, with an infatuation which even an empty treasury can ill excuse, dismissed two thousand of the bande nere who garrisoned Rome. A Swiss corps with drew at the same time, on his refusal of their monthly pay in advance. When the imperialists drew southward, his chief care was for Florence, and, on hearing of the insurrection there, he sent one of his chamberlains to acknowledge Francesco Maria's good service, adding a vague h0pe that, in the event of Bourbon threatening Rome, he would contribute counsel and aid for its safety.
