Beschreibung

The poems 151-152 belong together, since they form book one and two of Tiberino's epic poem about the war against the Burgundians. The dating of the poems can be approximately set around 1477, since both Charles of Valois' death in the battle of Nancy and Sigismund's appointment as Archduke are recorded. Additionally, 1490, that is the year in which massive pressures from some of the Tyrolean states forced Sigismund to give up the government and give it to Maximilian I, represents the "terminus post quem" non for the writing of the poem.

Book II, dealing with the years 1474-1477, focusses on the main events of the Burgundian wars, starting from the siege of the small Rhenish city of Neuss (vv. 14-49) and then continuing with the attack on the cities of Berne and Solothurn, which resulted in a defeat for Charles the Bold's troops (vv. 50-64). In the following part, two important battles are described: 1. That of Grandson (vv. 65-77), which took place on 2 March 1476: the events were marked by a gruesome episode, with Charles hanging the entire garrison stationed at the fortress of Grandson (28 February 1476 vv. 71-75). 2. The battle of Morat (22 June 1476) marking the definitive defeat of Charles by Sigismund's Alsatian army and by his Swiss allies (vv. 77-114). The poem ends with the narration of the battle of Nancy (vv. 131-229): on 5 January 1477: The Duke of Burgundy was defeated and killed by René II of Lorraine, who was supported by the Swiss and Alsatian troops. The final part of the poem consists of a praise of the German land (vv. 231-245) and of the glorious Duke Sigismund (vv. 246-251).

The siege of Neuss by Charles the Bold lasted for about a year, from July 1474 to May 1475. On Charles’ side were various local powers such as the Electorates of Cologne and of the Palatinate, the Duchies of Guelders and Cleves-Mark, as well as Savoyard, English and Italian mercenaries. Neuss was protected by a fortress, ramparts and moats and supported by many nearby towns and cities. In the course of the summer, the Burgundians and their allies completely encircled the city. During autumn and winter, the fortifications were bombarded, destroying the outer city wall and other important bastions, and the besiegers launched several major attacks, each of which the inhabitants of Neuss were able to repel. In May 1475, Emperor Frederick led the Imperial army to Neuss in order to support the city against Charles the Bold. Soon the Emperor’s troops were able to prevail. The Burgundians withdrew and in a peace treaty agreed to relinquish Neuss.

19	Fixerat, hic Iacobus bellorum maximus auctor,	ihre Zelte auf, ebenso Jakob als vorderster Anführer im Krieg,	Iacobus the lack of a family name makes identification uncertain. Presumably Jacobo Galeotto, the Neapolitan captain of the Italian mercenary troops in Charles's pay, is meant. His participation in the siege of Neuss is documented. (cfr. Vaughan 2002, 326).
20	Illic degeneres Burgundi principes ambo,	dort umzingelten auch die beiden burgundischen Fürsten	degeneres Burgundi principes ambo Antoine of Burgundy (1421-1504) and Baudouin of Burgundy (c. 1446-1508) were both bastard sons of Philip the Good, and thus half-brothers of Charles the Bold.

They were eventually captured by the enemy at Nancy.

23	Nomina, castellum forti cinxere corona.	Namen unerwähnt lasse, die Festung mit einem robusten Belagerungsring.
24	Iamque solo aequarant bombardis moenia circum,	Und schon hatten sie das Mauerwerk ringsherum mit Kanonen dem Erdboden gleichgemacht,

28	Et tuba terribilis belli dedit aurea signum,	und die schreckenerregende goldene Tuba das Signal zur Schlacht gab,
29	Sanguinolenta duces inter se proelia miscent:	stürzten sich die Feldherren in die blutigen Kämpfe:
30	Non sic densa ferit sublimia culmina grando,	Dichter Hagel schlägt nicht so heftig in die hochragenden Bergkuppen ein,
31	Cum flant Alpini boreae, ceu fulminat ictus	wenn die alpinen Nordwinde brausen, wie die Schläge der Waffen	Alpini boreae a cold northern wind.

33	Talia saepe duces gesserunt bella per annum:	Ein Jahr lang führten die Feldherren wieder und wieder derartige Kämpfe:
34	Ter dux Burgundus victor fuit arce potitus,	Drei Mal war der burgundische Feldherr siegreich und nahm die Festung ein,
35	Neus ter ab hoste truci Germania sola recepit.	drei Mal eroberte Germanien ganz allein Neuss vom grimmigen Feind zurück.
36	Tertius interea Caesar Fridericus in hostem	Als Dritter stürzte sich unterdessen Kaiser Friedrich auf
37	Gentis Teutonicae properat, quem mille phalanges	den Feind des teutonischen Volkes, und tausend kriegserfahrene
38	Assuetae in castris equitum peditumque sequuntur.	Schlachtreihen aus Kavalleristen und Fußsoldaten folgten ihm.
39	Huius in adventu sublimi atque impete tanto	Durch sein imposantes Anrücken und den heftigen Angriff
40	Burgundus pacem deterritus impiger orat.	abgeschreckt flehte der Burgunder inbrünstig um Frieden.
41	Ad quem magnanimo Caesar sic edidit ore:	Zu ihm sprach der Kaiser mit großmütiger Miene folgendermaßen:
42	„Parce meam bello, princeps, invadere gentem;	„Höre damit auf, Fürst, mein Volk mit Krieg zu überziehen;
43	Castra inimica move teque his statim excipe terris:	Brich das feindliche Feldlager ab und zieh dich auf der Stelle aus diesem Land zurück:
44	Sit satis, ut redeas patrias infractus ad urbes,	Es soll ausreichen, dass du demütig zu deinen heimatlichen Städten zurückkehrst,
