Father Capèce recounts in third person how he was sent to Rome to fetch the Duke of Guise so that he might deliver them from the Spanish. The Duke chose him as his confessor and he lodged in the same palace. The Duke thus came to Naples and administered the city, and the people eventually turned against him and acclaimed the return of the Spanish.
