To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
suddenly learned that Francis was about to abdicate in favor of his son, and when the prisoner became so ill that there seemed danger lest he should die, a beneficial change was made in his treatment. He was also allowed to see his devoted sister, who came from her kingdom of Navarre on purpose to visit him, and he was granted his first interview with his rival and jailer, Charles V.
It was only after this momentous colloquy that Francis decided to yield to humiliating conditions to recover his... freedom. He therefore signed the treaty of Madrid ( 1 526), whereby he relinquished all his rights to Italy, pardoned and reinstated the traitor Bourbon, agreed to give up Flanders, Burgundy, and other territories, pledged himself to marry a sister of Charles V., now that Queen Claude was dead, and surrendered his two sons as hostages.
On the frontier between France and Spain Francis I.
was merely allowed time to embrace these children, who were immedi^ely conveyed to Madrid. They were locked up in a prison as dismal as that in which their father had languished, and kept there without means of amusement or education, until it is said they forgot even their native language !
