167 V, II | that it was much more the duke’s business than his own
168 V, II | so greatly influenced the duke, that, changing his design,

182 V, II | Venetians considering the duke to have broken the peace,
183 V, II | by severely wasting the duke’s territories, induced him

190 V, III | of Italy; now we have the duke in our favor; besides we
191 V, III | situation, had recourse to the duke, and employed prayers and
192 V, III | greatly it would attach the duke’s friends to him to find
193 V, III | motives of compassion. The duke, influenced by his inveterate
194 V, III | known in Florence that the duke was preparing to send forces
195 V, III | and in order to retain the duke in Lombardy, they requested
196 V, III | them and gone over to the duke; and thus, finding themselves
197 V, III | alliance promised to him by the duke.~The Florentines were thus
198 V, III | indisposed to do so, for the duke, having been informed that
199 V, III | with the count, for, as the duke had no sons, it gave him
200 V, III | would come to terms with the duke.~These indirect and crafty
201 V, III | if ever the count and the duke should enter into a mutual
202 V, III | preponderance possessed by the duke. He concluded by saying,
203 V, III | that if the count and the duke were to unite their forces,
204 V, III | so far influenced by the duke as to take command under
205 V, III | come to agreement with the duke; among the terms of which
206 V, IV | Piccinino, in concert with the duke of Milan, deceives the pope,
207 V, IV | Sforza—League against the duke of Milan—The Florentines
208 V, IV | and Florentines, and the duke and the count having become
209 V, IV | and the ambition of the duke and the Venetians was obvious,
210 V, IV | prevailed, for neither the duke nor the Venetians were satisfied
211 V, IV | war. The proud mind of the duke could not endure that the
212 V, IV | conveniently attack him. The duke was also aware of the resentment
213 V, IV | the agreement between the duke and the count was concluded,
214 V, IV | his instructions from the duke, affected to be highly incensed,
215 V, IV | understand how much the duke was under obligation to
216 V, IV | attached friends as the duke and himself, and for having
217 V, IV | that he had quitted the duke to take part with the Venetians.
218 V, IV | joining the remainder of the duke’s forces, he attacked the
219 V, IV | besieged the city itself.~The duke, who desired the Venetians
220 V, IV | able alone to resist the duke, had not deigned to ask
221 V, IV | French dynasty, but the duke was entirely in favor of
222 V, IV | Romagna occupied with the duke’s forces, and the Venetians
223 V, IV | his desire to secure the duke’s alliance kept him in suspense;
224 V, IV | him in suspense; and the duke, aware of this desire, gave
225 V, IV | of marriageable age, the duke had frequently made all
226 V, IV | rivers were taken by the duke’s forces; the country around
227 V, IV | command, and went over to the duke’s service. Thus the course
228 V, IV | deceived if he thought the duke, while fortune, would esteem
229 V, IV | were in adversity; that the duke was induced to promise him
230 V, IV | therefore desirable to keep the duke in that necessity, which
231 V, IV | friendship and stipend of the duke; and the lord of Faenza,
232 V, IV | closely besieged by the duke’s forces, that constant
233 V, IV | almost at the mercy of the duke, who, issuing from any of
234 V, IV | always perceived in the duke’s greatness the source of
235 V, IV | neutral, greatly to the duke’s satisfaction, and with
236 V, V | Recovered by Sforza—The duke of Milan makes war against
237 V, V | which being held for the duke, it would be necessary to
238 V, V | water. On this account the duke had assembled a large force
239 V, V | contest with those of the duke. The count therefore deemed
240 V, V | by the people to be the duke’s forces, but being defenseless
241 V, V | again recovered from the duke. The count, after this victory,
242 V, V | permanent relief of Brescia.~The duke, finding the war suspended
243 V, V | endeavored to induce the duke to follow the plan congenial
244 V, V | impossible; and thus the duke might carry on the war in
245 V, V | they took, victory to the duke must be the result. The
246 V, V | Count di Poppi; and thus the duke, who was previously inclined
247 V, VI | wars of the league and the duke, he was now content to take
248 V, VI | which would render the duke universally victorious,
249 V, VI | whole army and attack the duke, in order to compel him,
250 V, VI | Venetians and enter the duke’s service. This circumstance
251 V, VI | when the territories of the duke were left almost defenseless
252 V, VI | things would see, that the duke had sent Niccolo into Tuscany
253 V, VI | to shift for herself, the duke would, when too late, see
254 V, VII | to the advantage of the duke, his affairs in Lombardy
255 V, VII | first of all to drive the duke from the water; judging,
256 V, VII | fleet, attacked that of the duke, and destroyed it. His land

262 VI, I | province so alarmed the duke, that he was afraid his
263 VI, I | Under these impressions, the duke, to insure by policy that
264 VI, I | his advantage; for if the duke became so ruined as to be
265 VI, I | count replied, “That if the duke really wished for peace,
266 VI, I | Florentine forces to Tuscany, the duke’s to Cremona, and those
267 VI, I | particularly the case with the duke, who, being rendered doubly
268 VI, I | imminent danger; so that the duke’s victory appeared certain,

270 VI, I | remuneration, he desired the duke to concede to him the city

272 VI, I | being secretly arranged, the duke sent to command Niccolo

274 VI, I | this resolution; and the duke was obliged, in order to

292 VI, II | in order to prevent the duke from accommodating himself

294 VI, II | should become friends.~The duke’s anger caused the renewal

331 VI, V | open to all; and that the duke’s character was such, that
332 VI, V | the Florentines and the duke rather apprehend war than
