IOANNIS MATTHIAE TIBERINI LIBERALIUM ARTIUM ET MEDICINAE DOCTORIS, AD SERENISSIMUM ATQUE ILLUSTRISSIMUM PRINCIPEM SIGISMUNDUM, DEI GRATIA INVICTISSIMUM AUSTRIAE DUCEM, DE BELLO, STRAGE ET OBITU BELLIPOTENTIS CAROLI BURGUNDIAE DUCIS LIBER SECUNDUS FELICITER INCIPIT
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).

97 | Alite felici turmas prosternere ferro, | unter erfolgversprechenden Vorzeichen mit eisernen Waffen die Schwadronen niedermetzelte, | |
98 | Terga dedit primus; rerum caput ut fuit absens, | da suchte er als Erster das Weite; sowie der Anführer ihrer Unternehmung fort war, | |
99 | Consuluere fugae proceres sparsique manipli | waren auch die Adeligen auf ihre Flucht bedacht, die Kompanien zerstreuten sich, | |
100 | Diffugiunt nullamque viam formidine servant. | rannten kreuz und quer durcheinander und konnten vor Furcht keine einzige Straße halten. | |
101 | Instant Teutonici praedae et legione soluta | Die Teutonen rafften Kriegsbeute zusammen, rissen nach dem Zusammenbruch | Instant Teutonici praedae
vv. 98–114: After the battles of Grandson and Murten, a huge, now legendary treasure fell into the hands of the Confederate forces, the so-called “Burgunderbeute” (“Burgundian booty”). In addition to the traditional trophies such as weapons, armour, flags, artillery and horses, the Swiss also captured precious drinking vessels, diamonds, tapestries, religious relics, luxurious clothes and jewellery as well as foodstuffs. Some remnants of this treasure are still exhibited today in various museums throughout Switzerland.

108 | Victrici superant gladio ferroque trucidant. | rangen sie mit siegreichem Schwert nieder und erschlugen ihn mit der Klinge. | |
109 | Ductores belli divisa ex ordine praeda | Aus der aufgeteilten Kriegsbeute schickten die Feldherren | |

113 | Illustris princeps, spoliis decoratus opimis, | Der Fürst, strahlend und geschmückt mit herrlichen Beutestücken, | |
114 | Burgundi vexilla suas suspendit ad aedes. | hängte die Banner des Burgunders in seinem eigenen Heim auf. | |
115 | At non illustri Burgundo audacia cessit: | Dem glanzvollen Burgunder aber ging die Kühnheit nicht aus: | |
116 | Disiectas acies certo clangore tubarum | Mit dem energischen Schmettern der Tubas versammelte er die zerstreuten | |
117 | Colligit et dictis animos solatur amicis: | Schlachtreihen wieder und entfachte mit wohlwollenden Worten neuen Mut in ihren Herzen: | |
118 | „O socii, fortes fugimus, deponite curam: | „O Kameraden, voller Stärke ziehen wir uns zurück, legt eure Sorgen ab: | |
119 | Non nos hostilis virtus, quae nulla, nec horror, | Uns hat nicht die Kampfeskraft der Feinde, die praktisch inexistent ist, auch nicht der Schrecken, | |
120 | Sed sors infelix et confidentia fudit. | sondern ein unglückliches Geschick und unsere eigene Überheblichkeit aus dem Feld geschlagen." | |
121 | Pellite magnanimo vanum de corde timorem: | Vertreibt die unnötige Furcht aus euren Herzen: | |
122 | Per superos iuro, perque hoc caput ossaque patris, | Bei den Göttern, bei meinem Leben, bei den Knochen meines Vaters schwöre ich, | |
123 | Iam nostro vires populo cogemus ab omni | bald werden wir aus dem ganzen Volk die Streitkräfte zusammenziehen | |
124 | Armaque Teutonicos Burgunda timere docebo!" | und ich werde die Teutonen lehren, die burgundische Heeresmacht zu fürchten!" | |
125 | Dixit et e patriis cogens auxilia terris | So sprach er und indem er Hilfstruppen aus den heimatlichen Landen zusammenzog, | |
126 | Contraxit gentem innumeram: Venere Picardi, | versammelte er unzählige Stämme: Es kamen die Pikarden, | Contraxit gentem innumeram
