Vittoria Colonna cut a brilliant figure as warrior's wife through her letters to the potentates of the wars in Renaissance Italy from 1511 to 1530.In March 1525, a month after her husband's triumphant victory over France at Pavia, crowned by the capture of the French King Frances I, a victory catapulting Charles V into the hegemony over Europe, the emperor, always short of money, wrote a… Mehr zeigen thanksgiving letter to Vittoria instead of her husband in order to postpone the compensation for his singular service, only affirming verbally:" Nothing is too much for the marchese to expect from our thankfulness." Far from feeling flattered by the emperor's empty promises, Vittoria answered him sarcastically:" I do not know what to estimate more to receive the reward of such a great Lord or the glory of having him as a debtor." Charles V 's self-complacent wordplay with her name Vittoria was retorted by her: " I have only used my name to defeat myself: While Marchese served you under such great dangers, I have been longing for him to come to me and to rest with me. "At the same time, La Marchesa, as her husband's diplomat at the papal court, had to constitute herself on slippery political parquet in confrontation with Pope Clement VII and Gian Matteo Giberti, his Datarius, displaying astonishing masterdom at scholastic arguing, political knowledge and intrinsic informedness about the topical situation, which was necessary with Giberti and Clement pursuing seesaw policy from one side to the opposite, or keeping neutral. In October, 1523, the pope nominated Vittoria Colonna as Governor of Benevent to represent her husband, absent as imperial general in military expeditions in Liguria and France " ob curas bellicas", " because we are aware of your great abilities, owing to which you are standing out of the female sex, uniting yourself with your husband not only physically, but also in mind, velour, and energy."
