Note 329 — Chapter IV · INTERREGNUM—CIVIL AND FOREIGN WAR. (1533.)
William L. R. (William Leist Readwin) Cates translation
The author appears to have written deux ans, but owing to the rather hieroglyphic character of his handwriting, we can almost as well read dix as deux. Raumer (ii. p. 148) says:—‘Johann erst zwölf jahre alt,’ child of twelve years: but this must be a mistake, because Frederick reigned from 1523 to 1533, and John was born after the accession of his father. See also p. 199 infra. (Editor.)
