Ludovico, as we may well suppose, closed with this bargain. The whole of Novarra was given up to him except the citadel, which was defended by Frenchmen: thus the enemy's army was recruited by 3000 men. Then Ludovico made the mistake of stopping to besiege the castle instead of marching on to Mortara with the new reinforcement.
So passes the glory of the world. Louis XII. in Milan Hatred of the French rule Return of Duke Lodovico His march to Como and triumphal entry into Milan Trivulzio and the French retire to Mortara Surrender of the Castello of Milan, of Pavia and Novara, to the Moro His want of men and money Arrival of La Trémouille's army Lodovico besieged in Novara and betrayed to the French king by the Swiss Rejoicings at Rome and Venice Triumph of the Borgias Sufferings of the Milanese Leonardo's letter.
At last he spoke slowly: "When the perturbed elements of religious thought crystallize into clearness and enduring forms, the chosen people will be one of the chief factors in reaching that final solution of the problems which convulse this age." He was one of the speakers at the great Mortara indignation-meeting in San Francisco.
It is not ten years since a merchant of considerable fortune, named P. Cadova, was deprived of his wife and children by means as remarkable as those employed in the case of young Mortara, although the affair created less sensation at the time. M.P. Cadova lived at Cento, in the province of Ferrara. He had a pretty wife, and two children.

One Mortara, a Jew of Bologna, had, in violation of the laws of the country, taken into his service a Christian maid. Meantime, one of his children, a boy about seven years of age, became dangerously ill. The Christian girl, unadvisedly, and also in opposition to the law, baptized him. Her act could not be undone, and the law required that every baptized person should be educated as a Christian.
On the evening of the 21st, General D'Aspre, with 15,000 men, took a portion of the Sardinian army unawares near Mortara, and, owing to the scattered distribution of the Piedmontese, who would have outnumbered him had they been concentrated, he succeeded in forcing his way into Mortara by nightfall.
For their peerless friendship raised them to the ranks of the martyrs, at any rate, at Mortara and Novara, where, according to the Legend, they died. The earliest of all these forms is a set of Latin Hexameters by one Radulfus Tortarius, born at Fleury, 1063, lived in Normandy, and died some time after 1122.
It is not a year since the Archbishop of Bologna confiscated the boy Mortara for the good of the Convent of the Neophytes. Only two years ago the Prefect of Ancona revived the old law, which forbids Christians to converse publicly with Jews.
After a succession of boar hunts at Novara and Mortara, Lodovico and Beatrice took their guests to Milan on the 15th of September, and Isabella entered the capital on horseback between the two young duchesses, while "the old Duchess Bona," she tells her husband, "and her daughter Madonna Bianca, with many other ladies, were awaiting me in my rooms in the Castello, the same suite which Signor Lodovico occupied at the time of his wedding."
