Summary
Captivity and the plea
Taken prisoner at Pavia in 1525, his mother the regent and he himself sent Jean Frangipani with letters asking for an attack on the Habsburg forces and his release 1.
The alliance
Freed by the Treaty of Madrid in 1526, he sent his secretary Jean de la Forêt in 941/1535 to Süleyman, and the Capitulations treaty was concluded 2. The book quotes his words to the Venetian ambassador: 'I cannot deny that I dearly wish to see the Turks very strong and ready for war — not only for the Ottoman sultan's own benefit, but to weaken Emperor Charles V's power' 1.
