The duke, therefore, having acquired the Romagna and beaten the Colonnesi, while wishing to hold that and to advance further, was hindered by two things: the one, his forces did not appear loyal to him, the other, the goodwill of France: that is to say, he feared that the forces of the Orsini, which he was using, would not stand to him, that not only might they hinder him from winning more, but might themselves seize what he had won, and that the king might also do the same.
Acquistata, adunque el duca la Romagna, e sbattuti e' Colonnesi, volendo mantenere quella e procedere più avanti, lo ’mpedivano dua cose: l'una, l'arme sua che non li parevano fedeli, l'altra, la voluntà di Francia: ciò è che l'arme Orsine, delle quali s'era valuto, li mancassino sotto, e non solamente li ’mpedissino lo acquistare ma gli togliessino l’acquistato, e che il re ancora non li facessi el simile.
