death.[120] The friendship between Venice and France severed that
between France and the Emperor; and, in 1513, the war went on with a
rearrangement of partners, Henry and Maximilian on one side,[121]
against France and Venice on the other, with Ferdinand secretly trying
to trick them all.

[Footnote 120: _Ven. Cal._, ii., 208, 234, 254,
283, 298. Bergenroth, in his zeal for Ferdinand,
represents the Pope and not Ferdinand as being
responsible for driving Venice into the arms of
France.]
[Footnote 121: _L. and P._, i., 3649, 3859-61. The
league between Henry and Maximilian was concluded
5th April, 1513; Carroz ratified it on Ferdinand's
behalf on 25th April, though Ferdinand had already
signed a truce with France. A good instance of
Ferdinand's duplicity may be found in _Sp. Cal._,
ii., 104, 207; in the former he is asking for the
hand of Renee for his grandson Ferdinand, in the
latter he tells the Pope that the report that he
had made this request was pure invention.]
