Iames the fourth king of Scotland a mighty and a valiant Prince hauing had sundry fewdes and garboyles wich the English Nation and that in the interim of truce and abstinence of warre especially about Norham castle the Bishop of Durham Richard Foxe owner of that castle in the right of the Bishopricke wrote diuers letters of submission to the sayd K. and the K. againe to the Bishop one letter in conclusion of many things that the bishop of Durham should come into Scotland to him about weighty affaires The Bishop certifying the King his Soueraigne of the premisses The King commanded the Bishop by his letters to satisfie the Scottish Kings desires which he tooke to be both reasonable and honorable and of which message the Bishop was verie glad So going into Scotland the king himself most gratiously curteously receaued this Bishop at the Abby of Melrose and after some expostulation with the Bishop touching some slaughter done vpon his Subiects at Norham Castle and the Bishops submisse and gentle answers thereunto the King gaue the same most like a King the hearing And afterward called the Bishop into a secret place garden or gallery where no witnesses were admitted but only the King and the Bishop and then he declared vnto him what iust causes had mooued him in times past to séeke amitie with the king of England which now he desired to haue confirmed and to hold inuiolable for euer if the sayd King would vouchsafe to conioyne in matrimony with him the faire and bountifull Princesse L. Margaret the K. eldest daughter In the behalf whereof we were purposed to send our Embassadors to the K. your master But we thought good first to proue your loue good liking and forwardnes towards vs and our good liking to your king his daughter his subiects and dominions The Bishop answered but fewe words only he sayde that when he was returned to the King his master hee would in so great and waighty a cause doe the best offices that hee coulde When the Bishop was returned into England and came before the king hee declared to his Maiestie all the communication which had passed betwéene king Iames of Scotland and him from point to point in order The king liked excéeding well of the motion as he to whom peace was euer a soueraigne salue But hauing then a mariage in nuptiall celebration almost betwéen Arthur Prince of Wales and Katherine the Infant of Spaine the mariage with Scotland being hastened by both the kings in the very triumphs of the former mariage king Iames sendeth an Earle a Bishop diuers noble personages who were receaued into London for the consummation of his mariage with the aforenamed Lady Margaret which Earle by proxey in the name of king Iames his master affied and contracted the said lady The which affiance was published at Pauls crosse the day of the conuersion of S Paul being the 25. day of Januarie supposed In the reioicing wherof Te Deum was sung great bonefiers made throughout the Citty of London All these things being accomplished the Imbassadors both of Scotland and Spayne tooke their leaue of the king and departed not without great rewards to both the Embassadors Not long after the Lady Margaret affyed as aforesaid was sent towards the king her husband the conueiance of which princesse was committed to the Earls of Northumberland Surrey the Earle of Northumberland being L. Warden of the Marches and was commanded to deliuer her at the very confines of both the realmes And thereupon she was remoued from Barwicke to Lamberton Kyok in Scotland where the kings Maiestie met her and with him all the flower of Scotland of Noblemen and Gentlemen and where the Earle of Northumberland according to his commission deliuered her vnto the king of Scotland The Earle

receaued into Paris woulde bee too tedious to repeate On the seauenth day of December he was crowned King of France in our Lady Church so called in Paris by the Cardinal of Winchester the bishop of Paris not being contented that the Cardinall should execute such an high office in his Church and Iurisdiction After all ceremonies finished the king returned to the palace hauing one crowne on his head and another borne before him one scepter in his hand and another borne before him A triumphant feast and great reioysing but mingled with distaste by means of the proud Cardinall of Winchester who preferring his owne wil before the weale publike controlled that mighty Prince and valiant Captaine the Duke of Bedford Protector of France which malice moued and heart-burning broched by the Cardinall was remembred and reuenged by the Nobility But my only purpose being to select forth the name of Henry and but to note their beginnings endings by way of abstract I will leaue this worthy yong prince yet a while and tell the vntimely death of Iohn Duke of Bedford a tale worthy of note and memory and this is it viz. This yeare the fourtéenth day of September 1436. dyed Iohn Duke of Bedford and Regent of France a man most politicke in peace and no lesse hardy in warre and yet no more valiant then mercifull when he had the victory whose body was with al funeral pomp and solemne obsequies buried in the cathedrall Church of Roan in the North side of the quier vnder a sumptuous costly monument c. Which Tumbe when King Lewis the 11. knew to be his and was incited by certaine indiscréet Frenchmen to deface the same he answered What honour shall it be to vs or to you to break this monument and to pull forth of the ground the dead body of him whom in his life time neither my father nor your progenitors with all their puissance and friendes were not once able to make flee one foote backward but by his strength wisedome and policy he kept them all out of the principall Dominions of the realme of France and also out of this Noble and famous Dutchy of Normandy wherefore I say first as God hath his soule so shall his body now ly in rest who when hee was aliue would haue disquieted the proudest of vs all And as for the Tombe I doe assure you it is not so decent nor conuenient as his honour and actes deserued no although it were more riche and more bewtifull then it is But to returne according to the occasion and by the way to touch this worthy Prince His misfortune in his minority was the cause of his Nobles dissention and that the cause of an vnméete and vnfortunate mariage so that the Prince in his yong yeares spent all the honour power and pleasures of this mighty and worthy King whose life was immaculate like his Fathers whose patience ouercame all his perplexities Once deposed from his regal state and dignity and once againe restored in which interim was his propheticall speach to those Princes and Nobles about him touching the young Earle of Richmond a child of tenne yeares old Beholde sayth he stedfastly beholding the young Earle This is hee whome wée and all our Aduersaries must giue place vnto when all is done He was againe deposed committed to the Tower of London his onely son slaine his Quéene tooke sanctuary his Nobles best subiects and all his partakers slaine in sundry battailes himselfe lastly murthered in prison and yet his patience integrity godly life and good workes were no lesse commendable then the acts of his father were famous and honorable He reigned 38. yeares 6. moneths and odde dayes and other 6. moneths after his readeption of the crowne Heliued 52. yeares To censure him the God punished him for his grandfathers fathers faultes or that miracles were wrought by him I neither will belieue nor write as the writer of his historie doth nor of King Henry the seauenths purpose to haue him canonized for a Saint but yet the loue of that most mighty King that in the zeale of this Kings immaculate life would haue had him remembred for such holines doth commend my purpose which is to commend him for the sixt worthy and in ranke also aboue all other his princely deedes The kings colledge in Camebridge and Eaton Colledge neere VVindsor are both very excellent monuments of his princely liberality and my selfe haue obserued forty yeares together that God blessed both those houses the one for education and the other for bringing forth very excellent schollers His Description HE was of a seemely stature of body slender to which proportion all his parts were answerable His face was very bewtifull wherin was euer resident a sweet reseblance of bountie wherwith his Royall heart was naturally indewed and euer thereunto inclined He abhorred all vices both of the body and of the soule His patience was such that of iniuries done to him which were innumerable he did neuer seeke vengeance thinking and saying that for such aduersities as befell him his sinnes should be forgotten and forgiuen what losses soeuer did happen vnto him he neuer estéemed nor made account thereof but if any thing were done which séemed to offend the Almighty that hee lamented with sorrowfull repentance His Epitaphe HEnry the sixt a Prince a Saint a King Faire Englands soueraigne eight and thirty yeare Which time with more his wofull end did bring As in his story doth too plaine appeare O had his Vncles liv'd and well agreed His death had not so vilely been decreed Had Dela Poole been dead ere he was borne King Raynars Daughter had not been thy wife If innocency thou hadst held in skorne And reacht thy hand to warre debate and strife And Parent like hadst proued Mars his sonne Glocester had not thy fatall thred vnspon Had Richard Warwicke wonne at Barnet field Braue Mountacute or many Nobles moe That fled or dy'd or were inforc't to yield But power diuine had not ordained so He had not gone backe prisoner to

was found whom Crofts did seeke And brought before the King by armed Band Whom Richard Glocester murthered out of hand Did patient Iob indure more paine then this Most Mighty Prince Who hearing all this ill Yet neuer murmur'd or once thought amisse More then a man remaining patient still A King indeed a conqueror of the mind In all the stories we no such doe finde Diuine profane or morall as I yet Did euer read such magnanimitie To rest in man where humain hart was set Or who had feeling of extremity Rest now ô King in heauens most happie shrine Preseru'd from foesb all the powers diuine
