woorst for he would not yéeld the place to them at anie hand Wherevpon immediatlie the whole tire began to plaie in such sort that within foure volées both sides of the house were battered through at the sight whereof the capteine was so dismaied that foorthwith he cried for parlée and so the shot was staied Now vpon humble sute the capteine was admitted to speake with the generall and so comming to talke with him at length he agreed to yeeld wherevpon the prouost marshall was sent into the castell to take possession thereof The generall permitted them verie courteouslie to depart with their furniture and other such stuffe as they could carie with them There came out of the house nine and thirtie persons one and other foure and thirtie men thrée boies and two women and therewith was the castell blowne vp and rased and the armie laie that night in the towne and in places about it The next daie being the eight and twentith of Maie they departed from thence the earles of Lennox Mar and Glencarne with other of the nobilitie of Scotland of the kings part taking their leaues with their companie returned to Glasco and sir George Careie with the horssemen came that night to Lithquo where also the rest of the English forces met A castell called Combernawd belonging to the lord Fleming was yéelded to the generals hands who vpon bond of assurance that the house should remaine at the deuotion of the queene of England was contented to spare it from fire and spoile But this was not the first nor last courtesie which the generall shewed in this iournie vnto such as in anie respect were thought worthie of his fauour Amongst other the ladie of Lidington being great with child mistrusting hir selfe or hir husbands double dealing towards our countrie in great feare began to flie But sir William Drurie hearing thereof sent hir word he came not to make warres with women but rather to shew pitie to the weake and comfortlesse and therevpon she staied and had no further harme The nine and twentith of Maie when the armie should dislodge from Lithquo the generall called for the prouost of the towne and commanded him to prepare with all expedition to receiue a iust punishment and correction thorough the whole towne for treason and vnpardonable offenses committed and declaring that the inhabitants thereof had succoured and supported traitors to the realme of England line 10 and likewise to their owne king contrarie to the leagues and quietnesse of both the realmes of England and Scotland for which cause he was fullie resolued to ouerthrow that town receptacle of traitors If therefore there were anie women in childbed or impotent people within that towne he gaue warning thus aforehand to conueie them out of it and herewith also commanding each capteine souldier vnder his charge to sée due execution of that which he purposed in this behalfe to haue doone he willed line 20 the prouost to appoint a place conuenient into the which the goods of the towne might be brought to the end that the same should neither bee spoiled by the English souldiers neither yet consumed through vehemencie of fire but to be preserued all wholie to the Scotishmens vse Further he granted that euerie noble mans lodging and capiteins house should bée saued from fire But now the time being come for this determined execution the earle of Morton that still accompanied line 30 the English generall offered himselfe as an intercessor to intreat and sue for a pardon bringing afore the generall a multitude of wailing people whose mournfull and most pitious cries were lamentable and verie importunat The generall hearing their requests made answer that for manie causes the towne ought to be destroied considering how diuerse enimies whose insolent practises were not to be suffered had alwaies there a common resort to conferre of their wicked deuises and further quoth line 40 he the courtesie that is shewed to such places of repaire hath imboldened the rest of Scotland to vse open violence and secret villanies to the preiudice of Gods glorie hinderance of the weale publike and breach of good lawes and policies and therefore it was fit and most méet for a warning to thousands in that case of extremitie to rase out such monuments of mischiefe But at length notwithstanding these heauie words vttered by sir William Drurie the people of all sorts so preassed about him made such line 50 pitifull cries and sorowfull noise with children sucking of their mothers breasts that he taking ruth of their miserable estates at this their lamentable sute and speciallie at the great instance of the earle of Morton who came bareheaded to speake for them the generall was contented to saue the towne and people therein taking good band and assurance of the prouost and chiefest of the towne that they should follow the campe and at all times appeare when they were called for at Berwike and there to submit line 60 themselues their towne and goods to the clemencie of the quéens highnesse and to such order as the earle of Sussex hir maiesties generall lieutenant should by consent thinke necessarie to which band conditions they of Lithquo agréed And for that their regent was slaine none since instituted to whome they had giuen faith of allegiance they confessed that none might command them anie waie without licence of him to whome they had made this band sith to him both their promise and obligation was passed And in this sort they continued bound to him for their good behauiors The duke of Chatelleraults palace in Lithquo was yet burnt and rased and marching to another house belonging to the said duke called Kenile distant from Lithquo about a mile or more they likewise burned the same Thus hauing doone their pleasures at Lithquo and in the countrie about that towne they marched from thense to a proper house and castell belonging to the lord Seton called Neitherie which the enimies had fortified But yet when the ladie of that house came to the generall and made humble petition on hir knées for his fauor offering to him the keies of that place in most humble wise she found such courtes●e at his hands that with condition that she a baron with hir should enter bands for assurance that the castell should euer afterwards remaine at the quéene of Englands pleasure he tooke hir the keies againe leauing hir in possession of hir house and goods without dooing hir anie further displeasure This night the armie came to Edenburgh where certeine of the companie that made hast to get thither somewhat before the rest receiued some discourtesie for they were spoiled in the streets of their furniture such other things as they had about them But when the generall with the rest of the armie was come néere to the towne and had knowledge of such foule disorder he thought not good to enter the towne

Other write otherwise both of the landing and also concerning the misfortune of the lord Spenser alledging letters sent from the earle of Northampton whome the same authors repute as generall of that armie into Britaine directed to the king in which was signified how that within the octaues of the Assumption of our ladie they ariued on the coast of Britaine néere to the towne and castell of Brest in the which the dutchesse of Britaine with hir children were of the enimies besieged both by sea and land by sea with thirtéene great gallies by land by the lord Charles de Blois the earls of Sauoie and Foiz But the gallies perceiuing the English fleet to be approched vpon them yer they were aware so that they were compassed in to their great danger thrée of the same gallies fled and so escaped the residue got vp into a riuer of the same hauen where they that were aboord left their vessels and fled to the land and as well they as the other that held siege before Brest and such as kept a castell there not farre off called Goule forrest packed awaie without anie more adoo The English mariners following the gallies that were withdrawn vp the riuer with their small boats and barges set fire on the gallies and so burnt them Thus all the Englishmen came on land and leaning the lord Saie capteine in the said castell of line 10 Goule forrest they passe forward into the countrie and comming to a castell commonlie called Monsieur Relix gaue an assault thereto where manie of their men of warre were wounded and sir Iames Louell slaine After this staieng a time for the comming of their confederats which after a fortnights space came to them on the mondaie being the morrow after Michaelmas daie they heard that the lords Charles de Blois was comming in all hast with a power of thrée thousand men of armes twelue hundred line 20 Genowaies a great multitude of commons to raise the siege Whervpon the earle of Northampton with his armie marched softlie towards them and choosing a plot of ground conuenient for his purpose fought with his enimies slue and tooke of them at the least thrée hundred men of armes The earle of Northampton lost not any noble man in this fight the lord Edward Spenser onelie excepted But now as touching the earle of Richmont Froissard saith that he comming to Hanibout after he line 30 had thus lost Uannes tooke the sea and sailed into England but by reason of being tossed on the seas his wounds rankled so that shortlie after his comming to London he died was buried in the church of S. Paule The king of England was sore displeased with his death and immediatlie after passed ouer himselfe into Britaine with a great armie and landing there the nine and twentith of Nouember at the same place where the earle of Richmond did land line 40 at his arriuall there not far from Uannes he went straight and besieged Uannes but perceiuing that it would not be woone but by long siege he left the earle of Arundell and the lord Stafford to continue the siege whilest he went to Rennes to aid his people which still laie at the siege thereof Before the kings arriuall in Britaine those that were there vnder the earle of Northampton as the lord Hugh Spenser and the lord Richard Talbot with their retinues fought with the Frenchmen neere to Morleis where line 50 a few Englishmen scarse fiue hundred discomfited a mightie power of Frenchmen estéemed to be aboue fiftie thousand of whome some they slue and some they tooke Among other was taken the lord Geffrey de Charnie accompted for one of the best and sagest knights in France whome the lord Richard Talbot tooke and sent into England But now as touching the kings dooings we find that whilest he remained for this winter season in Britaine his people forraied the countrie foure line 60 daies iournie in length and two daies iournie in bredth After his comming to Rennes he staied not past fiue daies but leauing them whome he found there to continue the siege he went himselfe to Naunts where he had knowledge that the lord Charles de Blois was At his comming thither he inuironed the citie about with a strong siege made manie fierce assaults to the walles and gates but could not preuaile then leauing certeine of his lords there to continue the siege he raised with the residue and went to Dinan which towne with sore and fierce assaults he lastlie woone and after that drew againe towards Uannes for that he was informed how the duke of Normandie was comming downe towards him with an armie of fortie thousand men Herevpon he sent for them that laie at siege before Naunts to come vnto him and suffered them at Rennes to kéepe their siege still till they heard other word from him The duke of Normandie with foure thousand men of armes and thirtie thousand other men of warre comming into Britaine to aid the lord Charles of Blois was aduertised that the king of England was with the most part of all his power withdrawen to Uannes and there laie at siege sore constreining them within wherefore he also drew thitherwards and approching to the place incamped with his armie ouer against the king of England inclosing his field with a great trench The king of England supposing he should haue battell sent vnto those which laie at siege before Rennes commanding them to come from thence vnto him so that by this meanes all the powers both of the king of England and of the duke of Normandie generall to his father the French king in those warres of Britaine being assembled before Uannes had fought some great and bloudie battell as was supposed for the whole triall of the right of Britaine if the cardinals of Cleremont and Prenesti as legats from pope Clement the sixt had not taken vp the matter by concluding a truce betwixt them for the tearme of three yeares Commissioners appointed to treat with these ca●dinals on the behalfe of the king of England were these Henrie of Lancaster earle of Derbie William Bohun earle of Northampton William Montacute earle of Salisburie Rafe lord Stafford Bartholomew lord Burghese Nicholas lord Cantelow Reginald lord Cobham Walter lord of Mannie Maurice lord Berkeley and maister

pageant But in the opening when hir grace vnderstood that the bible in English should be deliuered vnto hir by Truth which was therein represented by a child she thanked the citie for that gift and said that she would oftentimes read ouer that booke commanding sir Iohn Parrat one of the knights which held vp hir canopie to go before and to receiue the booke But learning that it should be deliuered vnto hir grace downe by a silken lace she caused him to staie and so passed forward till she came against the aldermen in the high end of Cheape before the little conduit where the companies of the citie ended which began at Fanchurch stood along the stréets one by an other inclosed with railes hanged with cloths and themselues well apparelled with manie rich furres and their liuerie hoods vpon their shoulders in comelie and seemelie maner hauing before them sundrie persons well apparelled in silks and chains of gold as wiflers and garders of the said companies besides a number of rich hangings as well of tapistrie arras cloths of gold siluer veluet damaske sattin and other silks plentifullie hanged all the waie as the queenes highnesse passed from the tower thorough the citie Out at the windowes and penthouses of euerie house did hang a number of rich and costlie banners line 10 and stremers till hir grace came to the vpper end of Cheape Where by appointment the right worshipfull master Ranulph Cholmelie recorder of the citie presented to the quéenes maiestie a pursse of crimson sattin richlie wrought with gold wherein the citie gaue vnto the quéens maiestie a thousand marks in gold as master recorder did declare bréefelie vnto the quéens maiestie whose words tended to this end that the lord maior his brethren and communaltie of line 20 the citie to declare their gladnesse and goodwill towards the quéenes maiestie did present hir grace with that gold desiring hir grace to continue their good and gratious queene and not to esteeme the value of the gift but the mind of the giuers The queens maiestie with both hir hands tooke the pursse and answered to him againe maruellous pithilie and so pithilie that the standers by as they imbraced intirelie hir gratious answer so they maruelled at the couching thereof which was in words truelie reported these I thanke my lord maior his brethren and you line 30 all And whereas your request is that I should continue your good ladie and quéene be yee ensured that I will be as good vnto you as euer quéene was to hir people No will in me can lacke neither doo I trust shall there lacke anie power And persuade your selues that for the safetie and quietnesse of you all I will not spare if néed be to spend my bloud God thanke you all Which answer of so noble an hearted princesse if it mooued a maruellous shout line 40 reioising it is nothing to be maruelled at sith both the haltinesse thereof was so woonderfull and the words so iointlie knit When hir grace had thus answered the recorder she marched toward the little conduit where was erected a pageant with square proportion standing directlie before the same conduit with battlements accordinglie And in the same pageant was aduanced two hilles or mounteins of conuenient height The one of them being on the north side of the same pageant line 50 was made ●ragged barren and stonie in the which was erected one trée artificiallie made all withered and dead with branches accordinglie And vnder the same trée at the foot thereof sat one in homelie and rude apparrell crookedlie and in mourning maner hauing ouer his head in a table written in Latine and English his name which was Ruinosa respublica A decaied commonweale And vpon the same withered trée were fixed certeine tables wherein were written proper sentences expressing the causes line 60 of the decaie of a commonweale The other hill on the south side was made faire fresh greene and beautifull the ground thereof full of floures and beautie and on the same was erected also one tree verie fresh and faire vnder the which stood vpright one fresh personage well apparelled and appointed whose name also was written both in English and Latine which was Respublica bene instituta A flourishing common-weale And vpon the same tree also were fixed certeine tables conteining sentences which expressed the causes of a flourishing commonweale In the middle betweene the said hils was made artificiallie one hollow place or caue with doore and locke inclosed out of the which a little before the quéenes highnesse comming thither issued one personage whose name was Time apparelled as an old man with a sieth in his hand hauing wings artificiallie made leading a personage of lesser stature than himselfe which was finelie and well apparrelled all clad in white silke and directlie ouer hir head was set hir name and title in Latine and English Temporis filia The daughter of Time Which two so appointed went forwards toward the south side of the pageant And on hir brest was written hir proper name which was Veritas Truth who held a booke in hir hand vpon the which was written Verbum veritatis The word of truth And out of the south side of the pageant was cast a standing for a child which should interpret the same pageant Against whome when the quéenes maiestie came he spake vnto hir grace these swéet words This old man with the sieth old father Time they call And hir his daughter Truth which holdeth yonder booke Whome he out of his rocke hath brought foorth to vs all From whence this manie yeares she durst not once out looke The ruthfull wight that sits vnder the barren tree Resembleth to vs the forme when common weales decaie But when they be in state triumphant you may see By him in fresh attire that sits vnder the ba●e Now sith that Time againe his daughter Truth hath brought We trust ô worthie queene thou wilt this truth imbrace And sith thou vnderstandst the good estate and naught We trust wealth thou wilt plant and barrennes displace But for to heale the sore and cure that is not seene Which thing the booke of truth dooth teach in writing plaine Shee dooth present to thee the same ô worthie queene For that that words doo flie but written dooth remaine When the child had thus ended his spéech he reached his booke towards the quéenes maiestie which a little before Truth had let downe vnto him from the hill which by sir Iohn Parrat was receiued and deliuered vnto the quéene But shée as soone as she had receiued the booke kissed it and with both hir hands held vp the same and so laid it vpon hir brest with great thanks to the citie therefore and so went forward towards Paules churchyard The former matter which was rehearsed vnto the quéenes maiestie was written in two tables on either side the pageant eight verses and in the middest these in
