Excerpt from The History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles 5, Vol. 4 For this purpose, he determined to recal his grant of Parma and Placentia, and after declaring them to be re-annexed to the Holy See, to indemnify his grandson Octavio by a new establishment in the ecclesiastical state. By this expedient, he hoped to gain two points of no small consequence. He, first of all, rendered his possession of Parma more secure, as the Emperor would be cautious of invading the patrimony of the church, though he might seize without scruple a town belonging to the house of Farnese. In the next place, he would acquire a better chance of recovering Placentia, as his solicitations to that effect might decently be urged with greater importunity, and would infallibly be attended with more weight, when he was considered not as pleading the cause of his own family, but as an advocate for the interest of the church.
