Gentleman In this meane equipage he arriued in the territories of Don Aluaro of Estuniga Earle of Plaisance who with the Countesse his wife did intertaine him very honorably according to his degree much compassionating his miseries and aduersities wherewith beeing mooued they comforted him as much as lay in their power but it stood him in no stead against the power and obstinacie of the Master of Saint Iames. This yeare 1468. died Don Fernand of Buxan An. 1468. Bishop of Siguen●a the Deane of the same Church named Don Iohn of Madrid Contention for the Bishopricke of Siguenta seized both vppon the goods of the partie deceassed and vppon the Cittie likewise and hauing learned that a good Bishoppricke is a thing worthie to bee desired hee caused himselfe to bee chosen Bishoppe by the Chapter strengthening himselfe with the partie of Don Alphonso and the Confederats but Pope Paul the second reiected this election and gaue the Bishoppricke to the Cardinall Don Iohn de Mella Bishoppe of Zamorra who poursuing the possession thereof by armes the Deane not obeying and appealing from the Pope to a Councell dyed Then the Pope bestowed it vppon Don Pero Gonçales of Mendoza Bishop of Calaorra the kings loyall and faithfull seruant and excommunicated the Dean and his Chanons graunting their benefices and Prebendshipps to others For all this the Deane would not yeeld but made greater resistance than before notwithstanding that the King offered him if he would leaue the Bishoppricke of Siguença to giue him that of Calaorra with the Abbey of La Huerta to boot Now seeing that neither right force threatnings nor kind and louing proffers would preuayle with this Deane a polliticke deuise was thought vppon for they practised with an houshould seruant of the Deanes named Gonçal Brauo who on a night shold find meanes for Pedro d' Almaçan Captaine of the Castle of Atiença to scale the fort of Siguença where the Deane and his brother were taken and brought to Atiença The Bishop Don Pero Gonçales hauing notice hereof poasted thither in all hast and made himselfe Master of the cittie and fort the King confirmed to Pedro of Almaçan the Captaine-shippe of Atiença and the Pope gaue him a good Channonrie in the Church of Siguença in recompence of the good seruice which hee had done to the king and the Apostolike sea of Rome In the meane space that these Ecclesiasticall businesses were mannaged with such violence the Earle of Plaisance had oftentimes treated with the Marquis and the Confederates in the Kings behalfe that the matters agreed vpon at Coca and Segobia might be performed but they had no desire thereunto Wherefore hee sent vnto them a gentleman of his named Pedro d' Ontiberos to draw them to some conclusion beeing then at A●eualo with the Prince Don Alphonso This Gentleman brought backe no answer for after that hee had negotiated with the confederate Lords as hee returned towards Plaisance hee was vppon the way assayled and slaine by Gyles of Biuero the quarrell beeing about their wiues and at the same time Garcia Mendez of Badajos one of the Kings Captaines was slayne at Burgos by the people for as he had made warre vppon the inhabitants Garcia Mendez de Badaio slaine in Burgos who held the part of the League his friend Pedro de Maçuelo drew him into the towne to conferre together about the peace his death did greatly displease his friends and other good men but the rude and tumultuous people could not be contained within any bounds Pope Paul hauing notice of the small respect which the Confederates in Castile had made of his Legate Don Antonio de Venerie Bishoppe of Leon was highly displeased therewith but hee wrote neuerthelesse to King Henry aduising him to pardon his rebels if they did acknowledge their faults and returne to his obedience comforting him besides concerning his aduersities by examples drawne from the holy Scriptures to the same purpose he sent likewise a briefe to the Confederates enioyning them vpon paine of his curse no longer to call Don Alphonso King but to acknowledge King Henry for their naturall and lawfull Prince and to craue his pardon The Confederates sent the Abbot of Paraces and the commannder Fernand d'Arze the Infants Secretarie to the Pope to giue him reason for what they had done and to informe him of the iustice of their cause but for certayne dayes space the Pope would not suffer them to enter into the Cittie of Rome At the last vppon their great and earnest intreaties to haue audience they were permitted to enter vppon this condition that they should haue an especiall care in any of their speeches not once to name Don Alphonso King Hauing deliuered their message they were by the Pope sharpely reprehended who threatened them and the Confederates more bitterly than hee had done by his briefe and it is reported that in a Propheticall spirit hee declared the death of the Infant Don Alphonso to be neere after which hee told them they would find themselues greatly perplexed with such like speeches the Ambassadors returned into Spayne The Cittie of Toledo taking part with the League the Secretarie Aluar Gomes of Cité reall commaunded therein Se●●tion in Toledo who stood excommunicate by reason that hee was one of the chiefe of the League it happened vppon a day that he came into the great Church at such time as the Priests sang diuine seruice who perceyuing him presently left off their singing but hee sent vnto them and commaunded them to go on which they refused sending a certaine Clearke to him who vsed many proud words wherewith a souldiar of Don Aluars trayne beeing mooued drew his sword and thrust him thorough the bodie so as hee fell downe dead in the place whereupon arose such tumults and seditions in the Cittie as after diuers murthers burnings and other execrable outrages the Cleargie and their partakers remayned masters of the cittie chasing away and banishing the opposites Then they sent the Licenciate Don Fernand Calderon with a message to the Infant Don Alphonso to intreate him to allow of that which they had done and to request him to graunt vnto them the goods which they had seized on and taken from those which were slayne in the tumult The Prince hauing heard the demaunds of those of Toledo Magnanimitie and iustice of Don Alphonso albeit hee was but very young made them a noble and iust answer First he shewed the Licenciate that it did very ill become him who was a learned man and therefore ought to be wise to be employed in such a message then detesting the outrages of the Toledains he told him freely that hee would neuer authorize their wickednesse nor giue away other mens goods so vniustly the Licenciate replyed and told him that he vndertooke that message with a desire to do him seruice and for to acquaint him with the good affection which those of Toledo did beare vnto him who would not fayle to reuolt

and could not endure that Portugal should bee vnited to Castile The King Don Iohn sollicited by many letters and messages to come into Portugall tooke aduice of his councell whether hee should enter in hostile manner or peaceably The worst councell was followed by him which was force Wherefore he speedily gathered together al the forces hee could and first of all hee staied Don Iohn of Portugall one of the brethren of the deceased King Don Fernand who hauing retired himselfe out of Portugal by reason of the murther of Donna Maria Telles of Meneses and the mallice of the Queene Donna Leonora had serued the crowne of Castile faithfully But fearing least hee should cause some troubles in Portugal hee caused him to bee put prisoner in the castle of Toledo from whence hee was afterwardes remooued to Almonacid three leagues from the citie Hee also caused Don Alphonso Earle of Gijon to bee imprisoned King of Castile caters arme● 〈◊〉 P●●tugal is not 〈◊〉 wel 〈◊〉 who stirred vppe seditions in Castile and then with those small forces which hee had hee marched to La Garde where hee was receiued by the Bishop of that place but the captaine of the fort would not acknowledge him knowing the diuerse dispositions of the Nobilitie and vnderstanding all the troubles which had happened at Lisbone since the Kings death The Queene widowe did reside in this chiefe Cittie of the Realme beeing assisted by don Henry Manuel Earle of Sintra Vncle to the deceased King by the mothers side by Don Iohn Maister of Auiz and others which did fauour the Queene Donna Beatrix and had set vp the armes of Castile and Portugal quartered as the Don Iohn had taken them but the iealousie which was bred in the hearts of the Noblemen and people by the too great familiarity which was betwixt the widow Queene and Don Iohn Fernandes of Andeyro Earle of Oren mooued the maister of Auiz who remembred still his imprisonment to enter into quarrell with him Earle of O●en the Queene of Portugals Mignon slaine the which proceeded so farre as the Earle was slaine in the Queenes lodging which was at a place called Limonero and instantly as if it had beene a thing premeditated the people of the city fell in such a mutiny as not any one durst burie of the Earle Don Fernandes body in the day time but they were forced to staie till night to put him secretly in the ground at Saint Martins Queene Leonora beeing so amazed Mutiny at Lisbon as shee sought all meanes to flie out of Lisbon And the rage of this multitude was so violent as they fell vpon Don Martin their Bishop who blaming them for their insolencies and rebellion against the Queene they chased him into a tower of his church into the which this poore prelate had fled to saue himselfe from the rage of the people where they beseeged him and entring into the tower cast him downe head-long pouring forth a thousand iniurious words against the Queene Donna Leonora Bishop of Lisbon slaine by the mutines the Earle and the Bishop whose bodie beeing stript they drag'd it by the heeles to the place of Rusio where this miserable spectacle laie all that day and the next night following and then they buried it in the market the furious multitude not suffering in to haue Christian buriall In the meane time the Queene Donna Leonora got away and leauing this mutinous city retired to Alanquer and from thence to saint Iren where as shee vnderstoode that many other townes especially Ebora had done the like taking armes tumultuously against her and her faction At Ebora the heads of the multitude were Vincent Ianes a Taylor and one called Gonç all Ianes who committed strange insolencies as it is the custome of a mutinous multitude Amongst others knowing that the Abbesse of Saint Benet was allied to the Queene Donna Leonora they entred into her Church and pulled her from the Altar holding that which keepes the Hoste in her armes imploring in vaine the aide thereof and the mercie of the commons and so drew her into the market-place where they murthered her most cruelly The Portugall authors write that in that cittie a little femall Infant beeing in the cradell in the house of one Stephen Ianes did rise three times out of her swadling clothes and stretching out the armes Prodigie at Ebora cried Portugal Portugal for the King Don Iohn the which was then ambiguous but afterwardes by reason of the euent was applied to the maister of Auiz who was also called Don Iohn The King of Castile beeing aduertised of all these disorders went to Saint Iren to his mother in law about the beginning of the yeere of our Lord 1384. where to free her selfe from trouble and daunger and to gratefie the King her sonne in law An. 1384. shee yeelded vnto him all the right shee had to the Gouernment of the Realme Hether came many Noblemen and Gentlemen holding the partie of the King Don Iohn to doe him homage who by this good beginning conceiued great hope that all would succeed well and wishfully and that hee should restore his mother in

Iohn maister of Auiz alpires to the gouernment of Portugal with the Earle of Oren to the armes knowing the nature of this woman by former experience with the hazard of his life hee would no more fall into her power but aspired to the regencie of the Realme and wholy to depriue both her and the King D. Iohn her sonne in law of all gouernment In this deseigne hee found such fauour and support of the Nobility and townes who had long detested the manners of the Queene and the deceased King her husband as hee had meanes to resist the attempts of the king of Castile and to make himselfe a way to the crowne Act of the maister of Auiz to make the Castillant odious And to make the name of Castile more ordious to them who desired not the vnion of these two Realmes he caused a standard to be made in the which was painted D.

had the gouernement of the Church who gaue credit to the image of Saint Marie of Nieua and beganne to build the Church thereof the which was afterwards augmented by the Queene Donna Catherina This image was sound by one Peter who for that cause was furnamed Of good aduenture who hauing found it aduertised the bishop It is much reuerenced by the Spaniards who hold that shee doth wonderfull and great miracles The yeare 1400. at what time the Iubile was the Spaniards going about to set vp a An. 1400. great Bell in the Church at Seuile all the people being assembled and the King D. Henry being in the tower a sudden tempest with lightning slue many scattered the rest and amazed the whole citty In the yeare 1401. 1401. there was some likelihood of an agreement betwixt the Kings of France and Castile and Pope Benedict attending the determination of a general Councel The Christian Princes which did acknowledge him besides these were the kings of Arragon Nauarre Scotland Cypres and the Duke of Sauoy The rest of the Potentats did adhere vnto Pope Boniface residing at Rome but Benedict was not long in quiet for the Cardinals and Clergie which were about him whereof the chiefe was Iohn of Nouacastello Cardinall of Ostia borne in Burgondy rebelled against him being fauoured and sollicited by the French yea there were sent to Auignon by the duke of Orleance brother to king Charles Robin of Bracamont and William of Mollon who set guards about the Popes pallace ●●ards set a●out the Popes pallace and kept him as it were prisoner for that hee would not voluntarily relinquish his Popedome But the king of Arragon mediating for him he sent Don Iames Prades his Constable who procured him his libertie and that hee should be obeyed in the Countie of Venice In this tumult there were onely three Cardinals which shut themselues vp with the Pope which were Pampelona Girone and Saint Adrian many men of accompt endured much especially Nauarrois and aboue all Don Martin of Salua Cardinall of Pampelona Don Bertrand of Gramont Pronotarie and Master of the sacred pallace and others This Pope aduanced to the Archbishoprick of Toledo a nephew of his sonne to his brother D. Iohn Martin of Luna beeing Doctor of the Canon law and administrator of the church of Tarragone he was also called D. Pedro de Luna but he was not so soone consecrated The affaires of Castile being reasonable quite the Infant Don Fernand the Kings brother and Duke of Pegnafiel was perswaded by some Noblemen to take vppon him the gouernement of the Realme pretending that the king D. Henries infirmitie and continuall paine was the cause he could not intend it so as many things succeeded not well but this was but a cloake to couer the enuie which they bare to D. Ruy Lopes of Aualos Constable of Castile on whom the king relyed giuing him great authority in all things thoroughout the Realme Fami●y of Aua● l●s issued ●ot of Nauarre This Constable was borne at Vbeda of meane parentage but honest whose auncestors came out of Nauarre he was a man of great courage and singular iudgement in matters of warre or in any other charge that was committed vnto him It therefore grieued these Noblemen of great houses to be commanded by him seeking to thrust forward the Infant D. Fernand to disturbe the State But D. Fernand was no fit instrument for their desseins for if there were euer an obedient brother and patient in all things it was he besides being of a slow spirit affaires of great consequence did ouercharge him neither did he willingly vndertake them Finally he was a louer of peace and enemie to warre and tumults For these causes he reiected them that would haue him gouerne shewing them the inconueniences and scandals which would grow by such enterprises exhorting them that if his brother did not seeme vnto them very profitable by reason of his infirmities they should attend the remedie from the prouidence of God with patience This Prince Don Fernand was as we haue sayd married to D. Leonora Countesse of Albuquerque who was heire to many Estates in Spaine For besides the Earledome of Albuquerque and the fiue townes of Infantazgo the townes of Haro Biron● Cerezo Vilhorado Ledesma Codesera Azagala Alconchel Medellin and Alconeta were of her patrimony besides the which king Iohn had giuer her Villalon and Vruegna in exchange of other places She was first called Vrraca but she changed it she was a vertuous Ladie and noble in all her actions hauing many children by her husband as we will shew treating of the affaires of Arragon In the yeare 1403. the riuer of Guadalquibir did so swell as it came ouer the wals of Seuile and couered the houses in the lower parts with great losse of men and goods To preuent which accident the diligence of Alphonso of Toro Gouernour for the iustice of that city is much commended The yeare 1405. 1405. Genealogie of Castile was happie and ioyful to the Castillans by reason of the birth of the Infant Don Iohn heire of those Realmes in the towne of Toro Queene Katherine hauing had before D. Maria at Segobia in the yeare 1401. who was Queene of Arragon A while after she brought the king another daughter called Katherine by the mothers name and was future wife to D. Henry Master of Saint Iames third sonne to the Infant D. Fernand. Pope Boniface the ninth being dead a little before seuen Cardinals did chuse the Archb. of Rauenna called Cosmat borne at Sulmona in the realme of Naples being Cardinal of S. Cruz Innocent the 7. chosen Pope in the place of Boniface the 9 whom they named Innocent the 7. So as the schisme continued stil in the Romish Church His competitor Benedict passed the alpes and came to Genoua to conferre with some Potentates of Italy of the meanes how to cease the schisme Beeing there he did consecrate his nephew D. Pedro de Luna Archb. of Toledo and Primate of Spaine and moreouer made another Archb 9. Bishops and 8. Abbots Hee had in his traine that famous Preacher Vincent of the house of Ferreres of Valencia who then preached in the citty of Genoua and since in many other places and especially in Spaine with a great opinion of holines By the death of D. Diego Hurtado of Mendoça high Admirall of Castile which happened the same yeare there was aduanced to the place D. Alphonso Henriques younger brother to the Earle of Transtamara and to his lands and goods which were as great as any Noblemans in Castile succeeded his sonne D. Inigo Lopes of Mendoça a famous personage D. Iohn of Castile one of the base sons of the king D. Pedro had secretly married himselfe in prison to the daugther of Bertrand Erillo his keeper of whom he begat Peter and Constance Constance was a Nunne in the Monasterie of S. Dominicke the royall of Madrid Peter being condemned to perpetuall prison escaped

The appointed day beeing come the Legate came to the place where with great insolencie he was compassed about with aboue three hundred horse of the league which did greatly amaze him for he was none of the stoutest Prelats Presently after Don Iohn de Pacheco The Master of S. Iames contradicts the Popes authoritie ouer the temporal states Master of Saint Iames the Earle of Luna the Bishop of Coria with other Lords of the same faction came in place vnto whome the Legate shewed his faculties and authoritie to do in Spaine what he thought good Wherupon the Master of Saint Iames made him this answer that those which had informed the Pope that hee had any power or authority to dispose of the estate of the Kingdomes of Spaine or Leon had deceyued him for that did belong onely to him and to the other great Lords of the same countrie At this meeting nor yet at another which was made nere to Montejo de la Veja was there any thing concluded on Wherefore hee beganne to proceed against the Confederates by Ecclesiasticall censures Appeale from the Pope to the next generall Councell but the Lords of the League did appeale to the first generall Councell the Licentiate Iohn d' Alco●er and the Doctor Alphonso of Madrigal throwing in their appeales The Lega●e perceyuing his labour to bee lost would haue gone backe to Medina but diuers of the Rebells followed after him crying out Wee appeale Insolencie against the Legate we appeale and with great outrages brought him backe to Olmedo the Arch-bishoppe of Toledo and the Master of Saint Iames seeming to bee discontented therewith tooke vppon them to defend him Whilest the Legate was thus handled the Confederates practised how to draw to their side Pedro Arias of Auila and the Bishop Don Iohn of Segobia his brother who beeing alreadie offended with the wrong which the King had offered them whereof wee haue spoken heretofore were easily perswaded thereunto the chiefe doers in this businesse were Lewis de Mesa Pedro Arias his familiar friend Perucho of Munsaras Captaine of the Castle of Segobia Fryar Rodrigo of Mesa Abbot of Parral and brother to Lewis with other Monkes and Church-men who did lay a plotte to deliuer the cittie of Segobia to the Confederate Lords Queene Ioane Donna Izabella with other Ladies and Gentlewomen of great place were lodged in the pallace of the same Citie where they had notice of this practise some of them with great feare beganne to dislodge the Queene withdrew her selfe into the Cathedrall Church The citty of Seigo●ia deliuered to the confederate Lords where thinking her selfe not safe enough shee entreated to bee receyued into the Castle with the Dutchesse of Albuquerque and other Ladies but the Infanta Donna Izabella had no will to remooue for beeing incensed against king Henry her brother shee had intelligence with the Prince Don Alphonso and did wholy adhere to the Confederates who entred into the Cittie in armes through a false port of the Bishoppes lodgings and made themselues master thereof without any resistance to the great griefe of the Inhabitants The Lords of the League went directly to the pallace to salute the Infanta who committed her selfe wholly into their hands The king hauing notice hereof departed very melancholy from Medina with such troupes as hee could get about him and marched towards Cuellar where in the mid way the Castle of Iscar was assayled at the intreatie of the Earle of Treuigno in which Castle the Earle of Plaisance kept the Earle of Treuigno's mother in dishonest manner the place beeing taken the Countesse was sent away prisoner by her sonne into his countrie The losse of Segobia did much grieue the the King for his aboade there pleased him aboue all other as well because hee was brought vp there from his infancie The King forsaken of his people as for the wood of Balsain and other places thereabouts fitte for hunting and also in regard of his treasure which lay in the castle thereof and the griefe and feeling of his aduersities did so oppresse him as beeing desperate and almost besides himselfe he was contented to be drawne by the deuices of the Master of Saint Iames to the towne of Coca vnder the promise and assurance of the Archbishoppe of Seuille not telling or making it knowne to any of the Lords or Knights of his trayne and taking but a very few of his houshold seruants with him Wherefore all men beeing discontented with these courses which did manifestly tend to the ruine of the King and of those which did him seruice they with-drew themselues discontented to their owne houses The Kings Officers and houshold seruants seeing themselues forsaken and left in so pittifull and miserable estate were ashamed to tell vnto whome they did belong when they came to any place The Licentiate Diego Henriques the Kings Chronicler hauing obtayned a safe conduct Diego Henriques King Henries Chronicler came to Segobia where hee had a house wherin were diuers goods and papers of great consequence but neuerthelesse he was taken and ill intreated his goods stolen and his writings scattered abroade to the great danger of his person if God had not drawne him out of their hands for the Rebels were greatly mooued against him because that in his written memories and chronicles hee had set downe the truth of their proceedings The king beeing come to Coca they changed the place and their opinion was to conferre at Segobia in the castle of which cittie hee was lodged and entertayned by the Earle of Alua and the Master of Alcantara albeit that Peruch● de Munsaras Captaine of the place was not well contented therewith The King and the Master of Saint Iames meeting afterward in the great Church Other agreement betwixt the king and the rebels after diuers reasons on either side it was agreed that the king should consent that the fort of Segobia should remayne vnder the command of the Master of Saint Iames the kings treasures and mooueables to be kept safe and restored to him who should send them to the castle of Madrid the Captaine-ship of which with the keeping of those things the King should graunt to Perucho de Munsaras Moreouer that the Queene should bee giuen in hostage and left in trust with the Arch-bishop of Seuile for sixe moneths
