In a description of Italy dating from these times,* the Venetian possessions are never referred to, save under the name of the prince from whom they had been taken: " the city knows no superior ; what she possesses she has robbed her neighbour of." This was the sentiment animating Louis XII. and Maximilian, on the occasion of their first league at Trent, and on that of their second with Julius at Blois, when they resolved to conquer what belonged to them of the Venetian territory. And just now,... when the existence or destruction of the Venetian trade in India was at stake, a third league was concluded with the same object in view, a league which really imperilled all their acquisitions. 1 Tentori, Saggio, ii. 135. > Zurita, 1. f. 342.
