that they were constrayned to keepe them within the I le of Tenet where he oftentymes assayled them with such shippes as he then had When Ronowen the daughter of Hengist perceyued the great losse that the Saxons susteyned by the martiall prowes of Vortimer shee found meanes that within a while the sayd Vortimer was poysoned after he had ruled the Brytayns by the space of sixe or seuen yeres and odde Monethes as William Har. reporteth By the Brytish Hystorie it should seeme that Vortimer before his death handled the Saxons so hardly keeping them besieeged within the I le of Tenet till at length they were constrayned to sue for licence to depart home into Germanie in safetie and the better to bring this to passe they sent Vortigerne whome they had kept styll with them in all these battayles vnto his sonne Vortimer to be a meane for the obteining of their sute But whilest this treatie was in hande they got them into theyr shippes and leauing theyr wyues and children behinde them returned into Germanie Thus farre Gal.

hee departed from the Frenche Courte and came to the Citie of Roan While he taried there making prouision at Harflete in the mouth of the riuer of Seyne for all thinges necessary for his nauye tidinges were brought to him that king Richarde being without children and now Widower entended shortly to marye the Ladie Elizabeth his brothers daughter and to preferre the Ladie Cicile hir sister to a manne founde in a Clowde and of an vnknowne lynage and familie Hee tooke these newes as a matter of no small moment and so all things considered it was of no lesse importaunce than he tooke it for For this thing onely tooke away from him and al his Companions theyr hope and courage that they had to obteyne an happie enterprise And therefore no marueyle though it nipped him at the verie stomacke when he thought that by no possibilie hee might attaine the maryage of any of King Edwardes daughters whiche was the strongest foundation of his buylding by reason whereof he iudged that al his friendes in England would abandon and shrinke from hym Wherefore making not many of his counsaile after diuerse consultations he determined not yet to set forwarde but to tary and attempt howe to get more ayde more friends and more stronger succors And amongst all other it was thought most expedient to allure by affinitie in his ayde as a companion in armes sir Walter Herbert a man of an auncient stocke and great power amongst the Welchmen whiche had with hym a fayre Lady to hys syster of age ripe to be coupled with him â—…mâ—…imonie And for the atchieuing of this purpose messengers were secretly sent to Henrie erle of Northumberlande which had before maried another sister of sir Walter Herbertes to the intent that he should set forward all this deuice and purpose but the wayes were so narowly watched and so many spyes â—…ayed that the Messenger proceeded not in his iourney and businesse But in the meane season there came to the Earle a more ioyfull message from Morgan Kidwelly learned in the temporall law whiche declared that Rice an Thomas a man of no lesse valiauntnesse than affinitie and Iohn Sauage an approued Captaine woulde with all theyr power be partaker of his quarell And that Reignoâ—…de Breâ—… collected and gotten togither no small summe of money for the payment of the wages to the Souldiours and men of warre admonishing him also to make quicke expedition and to take his course directly into Wales The Earle of Richmonde bycause he would no longer lynger and wearie his friendes liuing continually betweene hope and feare determined in all conuenient hast to set forwarde and caused to his ships armor weapons vitaile and al other ordinances expedient for warre After that all thing was in a readinesse the Earle being accompanied onely with two thousande men and a small number of shippes weyed vp his Ancors and halfed vppe his sayles in the Moneth of August and sayled from Harfleete with so prosperous a winde that the seuenth day after his departure hee arriued in Wales in the Euening at a place called Mylforde Hauen Mylford Hauen and incontinent tooke lande and came to a place called Dalle where he heard say that a certaine companie of his aduersaries were layde in garrison to defend his arriuall all the last winter And the Earle at the Sunne rising remoued to Herford west being distant from Dalle not fully ten myles where he was ioyfully receyued of the people he arriued there so sodainly that he was come and entred the Towne at the same time when the Citizens had but knowledge of hys comming Here he herd newes which were as vntrue as they truely were reported to him in Normandy that Rice ap Thomas and Iohn Sauage with bodie and goodes were determined to ayde king Richard While he and his companie were somewhat astonied of these newe tydyngs there came such message from the Inhabitauntes of the towne of Pembrooke that refreshed and reuiued theyr frozen heartes and daunted courages For Arnolde Butler a valiaunt Captaine whiche fyrst asking pardon for hys offences before tyme committed agaynst the Earle of Richmonde and that obteyned declared to hym that the Pembrochians were readie to serue and gyue theyr attendaunce on theyr naturall and immediate Lorde Iasper Earle of Pembrooke The Earle of Richmonde hauing his armie thus encreased departed from Herford well to the 〈◊〉 of Cardigan beeing fiue miles distance from thence And euen at the same time the whole armie was greatlye recomforted by reason that the comming of Richarde Griffyth a man of great nobilitie the which notwithstaÌ„ding that he was confederate with sir Walter Herbert and Richarde ap Thomas yet at that verie instant he came to the Erle of Richmond with all his companie whiche were of no great number After him the same day came Iohn Morgan with hys men Then the Earle aduaunced forward in good hast making no repose or abode in any one place And to the entent to passe forward with sure and shorte expedition he assaulted euerie place where his enimies had set any men of warre whiche with smal force and lesse difficultie he briefly did ouercome and vanquishe And sodainly he was by his espials ascertayned that sir Walter Herbert and Rice ap Thomas were in harnesse before him readie to encounter with his armie and to stoppe theyr passage Wherfore like a valiant Captain he first determined to set on them and eyther to destroy or to take them into his fauour and after with all his power and paissance to giue battaile to his mortal enimie K. Richard But to the intent his friendes shoulde knowe in what readinesse he was how he proceeded forward he sent of his most secret faithfull seruaÌ„ts with letters and instructions to the Ladie Margaret his mother to the lord Stanley his brother to sir Gilbert Talbot and to other his trusty friends declaring to them that he being succored and bolpen with the ayd and reliefe of his friends intended to passe ouer the Riuer of Seuerne at Shrewesburie and so to passe directly to the Citie of London requiring them as his special trust and confidence was fixed in the hope of their fidelitie that they woulde meete him by the way with all diligent preparation to the entent that he and they at time and place conuenient myght communicate togither the deepenesse of all hys doubtfull and weyghtie businesse When the Messengers were dispatched with these commaundements and admonitions hee marched forward towarde Shrewsburie and in his passing there met and saluted him Rice ap Thomas
Sir William Drury talketh with the Captayne of Hamilton Castel hauing likewise a case of pistolles came according to appoyntment but after they had talked togither and that the Captayne would not in anye wyse consente to deliuer vp the Castell hee with hys associate returned to their holde agayne and the Englishe generall with Sir George Carie came backe to the Campe and therevppon The Englishe ordinance shooteth at the Castell the English ordinance was presently placed about the Castell and shotte very sore all that nyghte but did no greate hurte by reason they were but field peeces and not fitte for batterie They in the Castell likewyse shot verie sore at the Englishmen but did no great harme sauing that there were three of the footmen hurte In the palaice which was a preatie house The Duchesse of Chastellereault the Duchesse of Chastellereault was at that tyme resident to whom Sir William Drury did repaire offring hir all the courteisy he might with all that to hir appertayned willyng hir not to feare any thing and for hir more assurance he cōmitted hir to the charge of sir Thomas Maners The .xxiiij. of May the generall gaue sommonance to the Castell and bycause they within stoode stiffely in deniall to make surrender thereof vnto him Great ordinance sent for hee was driuen to sende vnto Striueling for some greate peeces of ordinance meete to make batterie In the meane tyme the Earles of Lenox and Morton with the Horsemē The Earles of Lenox and Morton The Abbey of Kilwinnings brent and some shot marched into the Countrey to a very faire house of the Abbot of Kilwinnings neere adioyning whose name was Gawen Hamilton whyche house they brent ▪ and vtterly defa◅ed spoiling it ▪ and rasing it downe to the earth There were also brent seuen other faire houses belongyng to others that were not of that surname but yet were of their friendes and alyes Moreouer there were diuers other of their kinred and alies that came in with humble submission and assured themselues firmely promising from thenceforthe their obedience to the King The .xxv. of Maye sir William Drury the generall retired his people vppon a policie from the Castell and left it without either watche or warde The Castell sommoned for that nyght The next daye he sente sir George Carie to the Castel with a trumpetter to knowe if they within woulde deliuer it vp before the greate ordinaunce shoulde come which the capitayn vtterly refused to do whervpon the small shotte clapt sodeynly rounde about the house and kept them within occupied till that a whole culueryng a demy culuering came to them from Sterling the whiche wyth foure of the English small field peeces were in y e night following planted againste the Castell and being shotte off The Castell of Hamilton battered a bullet of one of the greate peeces passed throughe the walles into the Castell The Castell eftsoones sommoned The .xxvij. of May about foure of the clocke in the morning the generall sente a Trumpetter to giue sommonance againe to y e Castell to whome the Captayne aunswered that he cared not for them and so bade them doe their worst for he would not yeeld the place to them at anye hand◅ wherevppon immediately the whole fyre began to play in such forte that within four volees both sides of y e house wer battered through at the sight whereof the Captayne was so dismaid that forthwith hee cried for parlee The Captaine of the Castell demandeth parlee and so the shotte was stayde and vppon humble sute the Captaine was admitted to speake with the generall and so comming to talke with him at length he agreed to yeelde wherevpon the Prouost Marshall was sente into the Castell to take possession thereof The generall permitted them very courteously to depart with their furniture and other suche stuffe as they coulde cary wyth them There came out of the house nine and thirtie persons one and other four and thirtie mē three boyes and two women and therewith was the Castell blowen vp and rased and the army lay that night in the towne and in places about it The next day beeing the eyght and twentith of May they departed from thence the Earles of Lennox Mar and Glencarne with other of the nobilitie of Scotland of the Kings parte taking their leaues with their company returned to Glascow and sir George Carie with the Horsemen came that nighte to Lithquo where also the rest of the English forces met A Castell called Combernawd belonging to the Lorde Fleming was yeelded to the generals handes who vppon bonde of assurance that the house shoulde remayne at the deuotion of the Queene of Englande was contented to spare it from fire and spoyle But this was not the firste nor laste courtesie whiche the generall shewed in this iourney vnto suche as in any respect were thought worthy of his fauour Amongst other the Lady of Lidingtō being great with childe The Lady of Lidington mistrusting hirselfe or hir husbands double dealings towards our Coūtrey in great feare began to flie But Sir William Drury hearing thereof sente hir worde hee came not to make warres with women but rather to shewe pitie to the weake and comfortlesse and therevpon she stayed and had no further harme The nine and twētith of May when the army should dislodge from Lithquo the generall called for the Prouost of the Towne and commaunded him to prepare with all expedition to receiue a iust punishmente and correction thorough the whole towne for treason and vnpardonable offences committed and declaring that the inhabitantes therof had succoured and supported traytors to the realme of England Churchyard and lykewyse to their owne King contrarye to the leagues and quietnesse of bothe the Realmes of England and Scotlande for whiche cause he was fully resolued to ouerthrow that town and receptacle of traytours if therfore there were any women in chylde bedde or impotent people within y e towne The Towne of Lieth thretned to bee brent he gaue warning thus aforehand to conuey them out of it and herwith also cōmanding eche capitayne and souldiour vnder his charge to see due execution of that whiche he purposed in this behalfe to haue done he willed the Prouost to appoynt a place conuenient into the which the goodes of the towne mighte be broughte to the ende that the same shoulde neither be spoyled by the English souldiors neither yet consumed through vehemencie of fyre but to be preserued al wholy to y e Scottish mēs vse Further he granted that euery noble mans lodging and capitaines house shoulde be saued from fire But nowe the tyme being come for this determined execution the Earle of Morton that still accompanied the Englishe generall offred himselfe as an intercessor to intreate and sue for a pardon The Earle of Morton an intercessor for the Towne of Lithquo bringing afore the generall a multitude of waylyng people whose mournful and
most piteous cries was lamentable and verye importunate The generall hearyng theyr requests made answere that for many causes the town ought to bee destroyed considering howe diuers enimies whose insolent practises were not to be suffred had always there a common resorte to conferre of their wicked deuyses And further quod he the curteysye that is shewed to suche places of repaire hathe emboldned the reste of Scotlande to vse open violence and secrete villanies to the preiudice of Gods glorie hinderaÌ„ce of y e weale publique breach of good lawes and policies therefore it was 〈◊〉 most meete for a warning to thousands in that case of extremitie to rase out such monumeÌ„ts of mischief But at length notwithstanding these heauie words vttred by sir William Drury the people of all sorts so preassed about him made such pitifull cries and sorowfull noyse with children sucking of theyr mothers breasts that he taking ruth of their miserable estates at this their lamentable suite specially at the great instance of the Earle of Morton Lithquo spared from deserued destruction The Prouost and other enter â—…ands who came bareheaded to speake for them the generall was contented to saue the towne and people therin taking good band and assurance of the Prouost and chiefest of the Towne that they shuld follow the camp and at all tymes appeare when they were called for at Berwike and there to submit themselues their towne and goodes to the clemencie of the Queenes highnesse and to suche order as the Earle of Sussex hir maiesties generall Lieutenant should by hir consent thinke necessarie to whiche bande and conditions they of Lithquo agreed And for that their regent was slayne and none since instituted to whome they had giuen fayth of allegiance they confessed that none myghte commaunde them anye way without licence of him to whom they had made this bande sith to him both their promise and obligation was passed And in this sorte they continued bounde to him for their good behauiours The duke of Chastellereaults palace in Lithquo was yet brent and rased The Duke of Chastellereaultes palaces brent and marching to another house belonging to the said Duke called Kenâ—…le distante from Lithquo about a myle or more they likewise brent the same Thus hauing done their pleasures at Lithquo and in the Countrey aboute that Towne they marched from thence to a proper house and Castell belonging to the Lorde Seton called Neithery whiche the enimies had fortifyed Neithery but yet when the Lady of that house came to the generall The Lady Seton and made humble petition on hir knees for his fauor offering to him the keyes of that place in most humble wise she found such courtesie at his handes that with condition that shee and a Baron with hir shoulde enter bandes for assurance that the Castell shoulde euer afterwardes remaine at the Queene of Englandes pleasure hee tooke hir the keyes againe leauing hir in possession of hir house and goodes without doing hir any further displeasure This nighte the army came to Edenburgh Some of the English army spoyled in Edenburgh where certaine of the company that made host to get thither somewhat before the rest receyued some discourtesie for they were spoyled in the streetes of their furniture and such other things as they had about them but when the generall with the rest of the army was come neere to the Towne and had knowledge of suche foule disorder he thought not good to enter the Towne without standing so sure on his guard that he should not neede to doubt any double dealing or crooked measures which sure handling of the matter Churchyarde did not only shew the deuiser thereof to haue good conduit and experience but in verye deede auoyded no smal inconuenience and mischiefe that by the enimies was finely contriued through a fray to be made in the suburbes so that a greate slaughter had burst out suddaynely and no smal bloudshed followed if God and good guiding of the people hadde not stayed and tourned away that imminent daunger To bee shorte Sir Thomas Maners the generall sent Sir Thomas Maners with two bandes of Souldyers vnder one ensigne to seise vppon the gates at their first arriuall and so the pretensed conspiracie was happily preuented for the residue of the power was no sooner entred the Towne but that keepyng themselues in order to cleere the streetes and to commaund the inhabitaÌ„ts the better they spent that nighte standing on their guard as the case required When the morning was come Sir William Drewry smelling out the couert practise and naughty meaning of some demaunded iustice and straight punishment of such offences and things as he woulde truely lay to the charges of some in that Towne and told them flatly if remedie were not the sooner prouided and satisfaction made for the follies and outrage committed hee woulde bee quickly reuenged to the displeasure and shame of al the contryuers of that madde and mischeuous presumption Restitution made of things taken away from the souldiers Heerevpon not onely suche things as hadde bin taken from those few Souldiers which first entred the Towne ouer night were not only restored but
