That unfortunate monarch, in return for his services, was driven out of Italy, and excommunicated by the very pope whom the archbishop of Auch, the king's ambassador at Rome, addressed with the words your wickedness instead of your holiness. To complete his mortification, Anne of Bretagne, his wife, a woman as devout as she was imperious, told him in plain terms, that he would be damned for going to war with the pope. If. Leo X. and Clement VII. lost so many states which withdrew from the papal communion, their power continued no less absolute than before over the provinces which still adhered to the catholic faith.
