there came, from time to time, to watch me, some of the Cardinals who
were invested in the castle; and most frequently the Cardinal of Ravenna
and the Cardinal de' Gaddi. I often told them not to show themselves,
since their nasty red caps gave a fair mark for the enemy. "--_Life of
Benvenuto Cellini_, translated by J. A. Symonds, 1888, i. 112. See, too,

[245] ["Directing my arquebuse where I saw the thickest and most serried
troop of fighting men, I aimed exactly at one whom I remarked to be
higher than the rest; the fog prevented me from being certain whether he
was on horseback or on foot. Then I turned to Alessandro and Cecchino,
and bade them discharge their arquebuses, showing them how to avoid
being hit by the besiegers. When we had fired two rounds apiece, I crept
cautiously up to the walls, and observing a most extraordinary
confusion, I discovered afterwards that one of our shots had killed the
Constable of Bourbon; and from what I subsequently learned he was the
man whom I had first noticed above the heads of the rest. " It is a fact
"that Bourbon was shot dead near the spot Cellini mentions. But the
honour of flying the arquebuse . . . cannot be assigned to any one in
particular. "--_Life of Benvenuto Cellini_, 1888, i. 114, and note. ]
