Page 405. line 4. _Pavia._] The king went to Pavia to visit the young
duke of Milan, John Galease, who was then lying dangerously ill in the
castle of that place. He had lately married Isabel of Arragon who (with
her only child, Francis, then but a few months old) went out to meet
the king as here mentioned. The death of the duke which happened before
the king left him was universally attributed to poison, administered
by Ludovico Sforza his uncle who had long governed the dukedom in his
nephew's name, and upon his death assumed the title also of duke, in
prejudice of the infant son of John Galease. See Guicciardini, lib. i.
