This duke entered the Romagna with auxiliaries, taking there only French soldiers, and with them he captured Imola and Forli; but afterwards, such forces not appearing to him reliable, he turned to mercenaries, discerning less danger in them, and enlisted the Orsini and Vitelli; whom presently, on handling and finding them doubtful, unfaithful, and dangerous, he destroyed and turned to his own men.
Questo duca intrò in Romagna con le armi ausiliarie, conducendovi tutte gente franzese, e con quelle prese Imola e Furlí, ma non li parendo poi tale arme sicure, si volse alle mercennarie, iudicando in quelle manco periculo; e soldò li Orsini e Vitelli. Le quali poi nel maneggiare trovando dubie et infideli e periculose, le spense, e volsesi alle proprie.
