When the appointed day for the solemnity was come, hee caused the Princesse (cloathed in most rich and royall garments) to appeare before all the Cardinals, and many other great persons then in presence, who were come to this worthy Feast, which hee had caused purposely to be prepared, where she seemed so faire & goodly a Lady, that every eye was highly delighted to behold her, commending her with no mean admiration. In like manner was _Alessandro_ greatly honoured by the two Knights, being most sumptuous in appearance, and not like a man that had lent money to usury, but rather of very royall quality; the Pope himselfe celebrating the marriage betweene them, which being finished, with the most magnificent pompe that could be devised, hee gave them his benediction, and licenced their departure thence. _Alessandro_, his Princesse and her traine thus leaving _Rome_, they would needes visite _Florence_, where the newes of this accident was (long before) noysed, and they received by the Citizens in royall manner. There did shee deliver the three brethren out of prison, having first payed all their debts, and reseated them againe (with their wives) in their former inheritances and possessions. Afterward, departing from _Florence_, and _Agolanto_, one of the Uncles travailing with them to _Paris_; they were there also most honourably entertained by the King of _France_. From whence the two Knights went before for _England_, and prevailed so succesfully with the King; that hee received his daughter into grace and favour, as also his Sonne in law her husband, to whom hee gave the order of Knighthoode, and (for his greater dignitie) created him Earle of _Cornewall_. And such was the noble Spirit of _Alessandro_, that he pacified the troubles betweene the King and his sonne, whereon ensued great comfort to the Kingdome, winning the love and favour of all the people; and _Agolanto_ (by the meanes of _Alessandro_) recovered all that was due to him and his brethren in _England_, returning richly home to _Florence_, Counte _Alessandro_ (his kinsman) having first dubd him Knight. Longtime hee lived in peace and tranquility, with the faire Princesse his wife, proving to be so absolute in wisedome, and so famous a Souldier; that (as some report) by assistance of his Father in law, hee conquered the Realme of _Ireland_, and was crowned King thereof. Landolpho Ruffolo, _falling into poverty, became a Pirate on the Seas, and being taken by the Genewayes, hardly escaped drowning: Which yet (neverthelesse) he did, upon a little Chest or Coffer, full of very rich Jewels, being caried thereon to_ Corfu, _where he was well entertained by a good woman; And afterward, returned richly home to his owne house._ The fourth Novell. _Whereby may be discerned, into how many dangers a man may fall, through a covetous desire to enrich himselfe._
