These men, forming movable masses, to be disposed of by any one who could pay them or allure them by the hope of plunder, increased, in their turn, the facilities for conduct- ing wars, and wars, too, of the worst kind f because the soldiers took no interest in the general causes of the con- flict, nor were they generally inspired with an heroic devo- tion to a revered general. * On the other hand, these wars greatly increased the number of those, who chose to harass and plunder, rather than to... be harassed and plun- dered. These and other causes produced the numerous wars, during the period which has been mentioned. A great variety existed, also, in the combination of the polit- ical powers, by alliances, leagues, or the mutual support furnished in troops or in subsidies. The first war, between Charles the Fifth and Francis the First, broke out in the . Autumn of the year 1521. The Emperor had secretly agreed with Pope Leo the Tenth, and, after his death, with his successor, Adrian the Sixth, to drive the French entirely from the territory of Italy.
