ABSTRACT

War was now declared in such wise that all could understand it, and it was so carried on by both sides that no quarter was given and no fear was shown for God or for the King, and 171each side strove to overcome and conquer the other, the authors of these seditions each contending for mastery over the whole country without tolerating an equal or comrade. Having little fear of God they waged public war, forming camps and displaying banners, and fighting as fiercely as if one side had been Venetians and the other Genoese, or as if they had been Turks and Spaniards.
