Transcript	Nuremberg and the Reformation 1 lo her dealings with the princes. But the Markgraf, ignoring this subterfuge, moved on the city, and the Council, seeing that he was set on war, determined to stand a siege, and strained every to strengthen the fortifications. The princes, indeed, remonstrated with the Markgraf; but in He advanced, ravaging the villages, taking castles, burning and plundering all he could lay his hands on in his drunken and murderous march. W he arrived beneath I mberg, a truce of eight days was arranged till the Markgraf could ncis I. of France. Meanwhile he busied himself with throwing up entrenchments. But before the eight days had expired, he opened fire on the city. Some cannon-shots struck the iEgidienskirche, in which a service was being held. One house in the iEgidiensplatz still bears the marks of shot that struck it on this occasion, says Dr Reicke. Meanwhile Nuremtk ot slow to defend herself. iti/ens returned th :ii energy, and made some successful sallies.

Tin Markg I belli was now gone ; but his demands knew no bounds. He insisted on a huge indemnity and the right to garrison the town. In face of this, continued nee was the onlv course for Nuremberg.
