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).

197 Burgundus strepitu mentem concussus acerbo Der Burgunder, dessen Gemüt vom gellenden Lärm in Schrecken versetzt worden war,
198 Corripit arma furens sociosque accersit in hostes: griff tobend nach seinen Waffen und rief seine Bundesgenossen gegen die Feinde zusammen:
199 Nec mora, procedunt castris ibique agmine multo Unverzüglich rückten sie von den Feldlagern aus und erblickten dort inmitten großer
procedunt castris ibique agmine multo...Signa inimica vident aciesque ad bella paratas
vv. 194–227: The Battle of Nancy, the final and decisive battle of the Burgundian Wars, took place on 5 January 1477 outside the walls of the city. The Burgundians, hopelessly outnumbered by their enemies, were clearly and brutally defeated. Soon their entire army was converted into a ragged collection of desperate fugitives. Charles and most of his soldiers were slaughtered either during the battle or during their retreat (v. 220: neque parcitur ulli). The sources record that the persecution and killing of retreating soldiers, also at the hands of the local peasants, continued for three days after the battle and the roads were covered with the dead. For a detailed account of the battle of Nancy cfr. Vaughan 2002, 427–432.
200 Signa inimica vident aciesque ad bella paratas. Heerscharen die feindlichen Banner und kampfbereite Schlachtreihen.
procedunt castris ibique agmine multo...Signa inimica vident aciesque ad bella paratas

201 Conseruere manum, ruptis mox impete primo Der Kampf begann, und nachdem die Lanzen schon bald beim ersten Anstürmen
202 Hinc atque hinc hastis pugnatur comminus ense: hier und dort geborsten waren, wurde im Nahkampf mit Schwertern gekämpft:
203 Quot lapsi ad terram pedibus calcantur equorum! Wie viele Männer zu Boden stürzten und von Pferdehufen zertrampelt wurden!
204 Nil nisi mors et membra virum et capita alta iacentum Nichts war zu sehen außer Tod und Körperteile von Männern und hoch oben aufgespießte Häupter
205 Cernuntur, manant humano sanguine campi. von Gefallenen, die Felder trieften von menschlichem Blut.
206 Quis tantam penitus stragem, quis funera posset Wer könnte so schrecklich viel Blutvergießen schildern, wer könnte all die Tode
207 Dinumerare et ad ipsum facta ipsa referre? aufzählen und über diese Taten so berichten, dass man ihnen gerecht wird?
208 Teutonici primas acies, iterumque secundas Die Teutonen metzelten mit ihren Schwertern zunächst die erste, dann auch
209 Obtruncant gladio, vi quin tentoria rumpunt die zweite Schlachtreihe nieder, rissen sogar mit roher Gewalt die Zelte ein
210 Et iactis miscent per castra incendia flammis. und legten zusätzlich zu den geschleuderten Feuergeschossen auch noch Brände in den Feldlagern.
211 Postquam Burgundo spes nulla relicta salutis, Als dem Burgunder keinerlei Hoffnung auf Rettung mehr geblieben war,
212 Terga comes Nassae vertit mediosque per ignes floh der Graf von Nassau, entwischte durch
comes Nassae
cfr. on v. 18.
213 Vicina sese dilapsus in arce recepit; die Flammen und zog sich in die nahegelegene Festung zurück;
Vicina...in arce
vv. 211–224: Many of the surviving Burgundians retreated in panic to the fortress of the allied Metz, whose regent, Lord Andrieu de Rineck, decided to let them in. The city soon surrendered voluntarily to the Lorraines and their allies, and the lives of the Burgundians who had taken refuge in the city were spared.

217 Et Sunthena subit solo duce in hoste relicto. und auch Sundheim(?) in dieser Festung - einzig der Herzog wurde beim Feind zurückgelassen.
Sunthena
cfr. on v. 21.
218 Obsessi cives portis bipatentibus urbis Die Bürger, die eingeschlossen gewesen waren, rückten sogleich bewaffnet
219 Armati statim prodeunt hostemque repertum durch die beiden geöffneten Stadttore aus, machten den Feind ausfindig
220 Victores in frusta secant neque parcitur ulli. und hackten ihn in Stücke; niemand wurde verschont.
221 Teutonici palma devicto Marte potiti, Als sie den Kampf ausgefochten und den Sieg errungen hatten, da umstellten
222 Ut primum e caelo tristes cessere tenebrae, die teutonischen Edelmänner, sowie das finstere Dunkel der Nacht
223 Servantem proceres arcem denso agmine cingunt: vom Himmel gewichen war, die schützende Burg in dichter Schar:
224 Inclusi salva laeti dant moenia vita. Da man ihr Leben verschonte, übergaben die Eingeschlossenen die Festung bereitwillig.
225 Inventus nusquam princeps neque cognitus ulli. Der Fürst aber wurde nirgends gefunden und von niemandem bemerkt.
226 Quarto forte die subter defuncta virorum Am vierten Tag wurde durch Zufall unter den Torsos verstorbener
Quarto forte die...transfixum corpus ducis ense repertum est
Charles' mutilated and disfigured body was found three days after the battle. About a dozen bodies were found by the edge of a pool: most of them were Charles' close friends and members of his retinue. Although all the bodies had been stripped naked, some were recognizable, including Charles'. Charles the Bold had ultimately been surrounded on the run by a party of Swiss and wounded by two stabs in the thigh and the abdomen. He finally died from a blow that split his skull.
227 Pectora transfixum corpus ducis ense repertum est. Männer der von einem Schwert durchbohrte Körper des Herzogs entdeckt.

228 Cui licet hostis atrox princeps Lothoringius esset, Obwohl der Fürst von Lothringen mit ihm bitter verfeindet gewesen war,
Lothoringius...corpus sepelivit honore
René II of Lorraine buried Charles' body in the ducal church St-Georges in Nancy.
229 Ipse tamen belli sortem miseratus acerbam bedauerte dieser dennoch sein schmerzliches Los im Kampf
230 Regali in patria corpus sepelivit honore. und ließ seinen Leichnam in der Heimat mit königlichen Ehren bestatten.
Lothoringius...corpus sepelivit honore
René II of Lorraine buried Charles' body in the ducal church St-Georges in Nancy.
231 Cedant res Italae Romanorumque triumphi, Die Kriegshandlungen Italiens und die Triumphe der Römer mögen hiervor zurücktreten,
232 Et terra et pelago confecta ingentia bella ebenso all die gewaltigen Schlachten, die von Königreichen zu Land und zu See
233 Regnorum: Maiora facit Germania victrix geschlagen worden sind: Weitaus Großartigeres hat das siegreiche Germanien vollbracht,
234 Ante alias populosa, potens, ditissima rerum, das mehr als alle anderen dicht bevölkert ist, mächtig und überaus reich an Schätzen,
235 Quae nunc humanae vitae quaeruntur in usus: die zu unseren Zeiten wegen ihres Nutzens für die menschliche Lebensweise gefragt sind:
236 Non haec producit squamosos terra dracones, Dieses Land bringt keine schuppigen Drachen hervor,
237 Non atrum virus, sed equos et plurima mittit kein unheilbringendes Gift, sondern liefert Pferde, haufenweise
238 Argenti purique auri defossa talenta ausgegrabene Talente von Silber und reinem Gold,
239 Et laetas segetes et dulcia munera Bacchi. üppige Feldfrüchte und die süßen Gaben des Bacchus.
dulcia munera Bacchi
By "sweet gifts" of Bacchus, wine is meant.
240 Haec olim Italiam domuit Gallosque rebelles, Dieses Land hat einst Italien bezwungen und die aufständischen Gallier,
Italiam domuit Gallosque rebelles...Fudit Pannonios, Ligures...Subiecitque sibi terras, quas despicit Arctos
vv. 240–243: Without clearly alluding to specific events and battles, the author roughly outlines the victories and the expansion of the German Holy Roman Empire over time: In the south, it encompassed almost all of Italy for a long time (Italiam domuit). At the time when the poem was written, it still held sway over northern Italy (Ligures compescuit). In the west, the Germans fought the French several times and in the course of time acquired territories in Flanders, Lorraine, Burgundy, Savoy and Provence (domuit Gallos). In the east, the Hungarians were defeated several times in the struggle for control over Hungary and Bohemia (fudit Pannonios) and the eastern border could be held as far as Bohemia for a long time. In the north, the Holy Roman Empire extended to the northern coast of continental Europe (terras, quas despicit Arctos) from Flanders in the west to Pomerania in the east (Tractus ab occasu qui surgit et exit in ortum). In this exaggerated narrative, the Germans are portrayed as dominating almost all of Europe.
241 Fudit Pannonios, Ligures compescuit armis hat die Pannonier niedergeschlagen, die Ligurer mit Waffengewalt gebändigt
Fudit Pannonios, Ligures...Subiecitque sibi terras, quas despicit Arctos

243 Tractus ab occasu qui surgit et exit in ortum. einen Landstrich, der im Westen beginnt und sich bis zum Osten erstreckt.
244 Haec eadem ante alias studiis instructa Latinis Ebendieses Land überstrahlt alle anderen mit seinem Reichtum an lateinischen
studiis instructa Latinis...posuit gymnasia
The humanist movement and the study of ancient literature spread throughout the German-speaking countries from the middle of the 15th century and reached a heyday in the years around 1500 with scholars such as Georg Peuerbach, Rudolf Agricola, Konrad Celtis, Konrad Peutinger, Willibald Pirckheimer, Jakob Wimpfeling and Johannes Reuchlin. In the 14th and 15th centuries, numerous important universities were founded, such as Vienna (1365), Erfurt (1379), Heidelberg (1386), Cologne (1388), Würzburg (1402), Leipzig (1409), Basel (1460), Freiburg i. Br. (1460), Ingolstadt (1472), Trier (1473), Mainz (1477), Tübingen (1477) and Wittenberg (1502). The statement that German erudition and scholarship excel those of all other countries is, of course, a gross exaggeration given the fact that humanistic studies in Germany initially developed and spread on the basis of impulses and input from Italy.
