243. CiiAP, I. TESCARA. 871 opposition to the decision of all the others, to take tlic royal captive on his own authority to Spain. * This gave general disgust. Pescara, v/ho felt that his services were not duly acknowledged or re- quited, begged for his dismissal ; in order, as he said, to close his life in some obscure corner of tlie earth, " fjxr from suspicion and from war. " f This was known to the Italians, and it was, indeed, no very far-fetched idea to ground a scheme upon the disconten...t of such a leader. Had not the first knight and captain of France lately set an example of defection ? Was it impossible to lead Pescara to a similar course ? He, too, was born in Italy, and was, in the exactest sense of the word, an Italian. The consequences which would result from gain- ing over such a man were incalculable. He was the most experienced and the ablest of all the emperor's generals ; in every campaign the most signal and successful actions had been his ; the Spanish infantry were absolutely devoted to him.
