85 IV, III | they agreed to carry on the war at the common expense of

87 IV, III | most brilliant exploit.~The war had continued from 1422
88 IV, III | all the difficulties of war without injury to themselves,
89 IV, III | they would not have gone to war with King Ladislaus, or

101 IV, IV | the Signory would not make war against a neighbor, and
102 IV, IV | or the duke were to make war upon them; and concluded
103 IV, IV | a tedious and expensive war. The advantage that might

112 IV, V | renewed their league, and the war was carried on openly in

121 V, I | soldiers, resolved upon war, directed their efforts

130 V, II | peace what has been spent in war, but not when equally oppressed
131 V, II | all circumstances, when in war they suffer the injuries
132 V, II | former. Thus, in the last war, you had to contend with
133 V, II | territory, and to push the war with his utmost vigor, thinking
134 V, II | prepared to continue the war.~In the meantime Niccolo

143 V, III | Florentines thought the war ought to be pushed vigorously

159 V, V | duke might carry on the war in Tuscany, without giving

161 V, VI | respecting the management of the war. The Florentines reconcile
162 V, VI | the time available for the war would be wasted in marching
163 V, VI | presence in Tuscany; for the war ought to be carried on where
164 V, VI | the army is vanquished the war is finished; but to take
165 V, VI | entire, usually allowed the war to break out again with
166 V, VI | enterprise, and cause the war, which was now at his own

173 VI, I | apprehensions, pursued the war with unusual vigor; but
174 VI, I | protect them from the evils of war, and thought no more of
175 VI, I | and therefore, finding the war concluded for the present
176 VI, I | marched to its relief, and the war between them was conducted
177 VI, I | assigned to the Venetians.~The war in Lombardy was concluded;
178 VI, I | engaged to pay him during the war; who, since the peace of
179 VI, I | he could not continue the war, he withdrew to Marseilles.~
180 VI, I | although he consented that war should be made against the

185 VI, II | Gismondo a taste of the war he so much desired, resolved
186 VI, II | Filippo satisfied with the war in Romagna, but also desired
187 VI, II | the Venetians. Thus the war was renewed in Lombardy,
188 VI, II | with the duke for making war against him; but he was

190 VI, II | upon him, having begun the war in order to save him from
191 VI, III | the principal theater of war—Scarcity in the Florentine

198 VI, III | who, in the course of the war and before the fight, had
199 VI, IV | the Milanese prepare for war—Milanese ambassadors at
200 VI, IV | being relieved from the war with Alfonso, sent them
201 VI, IV | their republic to lose by war and win by negotiation;
202 VI, IV | during the continuance of the war, four thousand horse and
203 VI, IV | could be derived from the war. It would thus be manifest
204 VI, IV | at the conclusion of the war, and would demonstrate which
205 VI, IV | were slow in preparing for war, and the Milanese finding

216 VI, V | sake of peace, and not of war. True it was, he wondered
217 VI, V | the duke rather apprehend war than hope for a long continuance
218 VI, V | an earnest of approaching war; they consequently followed
219 VI, V | which they entered on this war, and so powerful their lust

226 VI, VI | being all weary of the war, were similarly disposed;
227 VI, VI | difficulties were found in the war of effecting it. King Alfonso
228 VI, VI | expenses he had incurred in the war, and the Florentines demanded
229 VI, VI | they possessed before the war, the duke being allowed
230 VI, VI | still retain the seeds of war, Alfonso would not consent
231 VI, VI | injury to themselves, to make war upon the Genoese, Gismondo
232 VI, VI | usual on the conclusion of a war, had discharged Jacopo Piccinino,
233 VI, VI | who, to put a stop to the war newly broken out so near
234 VI, VI | them with this unimportant war, ordered Jacopo to restore
235 VI, VII | of a remarkable hurricane—War against the Genoese and
236 VI, VII | with their preparations for war; and in Hungary their zeal
