And as if it were not enough to have aggrandized the Church, and deprived himself of friends, he, wishing to have the kingdom of Naples, divides it with the King of Spain, and where he was the prime arbiter in Italy he takes an associate, so that the ambitious of that country and the malcontents of his own should have somewhere to shelter; and whereas he could have left in the kingdom his own pensioner as king, he drove him out, to put one there who was able to drive him, Louis, out in turn.
Non li bastò avere fatto grande la Chiesia e toltisi li amici, che, per volere il regno di Napoli, lo divise con il re di Spagna; e, dove lui era prima arbitro d'Italia e' vi misse uno compagno, a ciò che li ambiziosi di quella provincia e mal contenti di lui avessino dove ricorrere; e, dove posseva lasciare in quello regno uno re suo pensionario, e' ne lo trasse, per mettervi uno che potessi cacciarne lui.
