How Richard Cordelion King of England going to the holy Land slew Phillip the Prince of Austria and how Don Iohn doomed him to a most strange punishment and of his wofull lamentation in prison WHen the true spirits of illustrious atchieuements possest the Nobility of Europe and that the Babes of honour fed vpon the milke of Knightly aduentures here raigned in England a royall minded King named Richard Cordelion a Prince replenished with the commendable reports of renowne in whose gouernement both Armes and Art flourished warres wrought peace and peace brought happinesse In this Kings time the blessed state of Gods holy City of Ierusalem groaned vnder the heauy yoke of Paganisme and the despised Infidels with pride and tyranny suppressed all her royalties for recouery whereof all Christendome tooke Armes and the rumors of warre wrathfully thundered in all our Northerne Nations Fiue Christian Kings vnder the bloody standers of Godfrey of Bullin that imperious Monarks and worthy of the World marched Amongst which glorious number one matchles King Richard Plantaginet was too aduenturous forward for he in the blooming bud of his youth with the chiefest Chiualry of England cloathed in stéele fired with fame and full of resolution left the gouernment of his kingdome to his brother Iohn then Duke of Ireland and arriued in Austria the méeting place of these Christian Potentates The rest of this Campe royall not then in a readinesse according to the customes of Princes caused King Richard to request entertainement for him and his Knights Don Iohn then Duke of Austria being a Prince so curteous and noble that he could doe no lesse then grant it Now Fame and Fortune in King Richards thoughts smiled and the smooth brow of wished good spéed bad him and his hundred Knights welcome A hundred he had as then for his guard called Knights of the Bath a title of dignity first giuen by this King but now while the rest of his Army planted their standers vpon the downes adioining to the Court these Knightly Gallants so reuelled in the Dukes Pallace that well were they that could purchase their fauours and highly graced were all such as had but the smallest imployment of an English Knight So amiable pleasing and curteous were the conditions of King Richard and his followers so truely were their minds deuoted to honour that they euen inforced loue from all estates the haughty minded of their own accords became gentle the stubborne nature pliable and the frowne of euery English brow by desert challenged both cap and knée Don Iohn himselfe began to grow disgracious his Subiects wauering alegiance waxed cold and none but the name of English Richard merited Fortunes high graces All Austria estéemed England a happy Nation by nature the darling of vertue and the only hopes of Christendome so grealy are still the fauors of our English people in the eies of forren kingdoms This detracted loue of his subiects did not a little displease Don Iohn and his son Prince Phillip and no little enuy by it were bred in their two fired breasts that nothing could quench the increasing flame therof but King Richards shame and confusion Politicke and close were their purposes deadly and diuellish their intents and most vnhumane and vnchristian like their procéedings the law of Armes was quite laid aside the honor of Princes forgotten and the dignity of Knight hood vilely abused malice and wrath the champions of pale death hourely possessed their two hearts with a secret imagination of vengeance plotted against the life of royall Richard to murther by violence would but incurre displeasures of forren Nations to kill innocents offendeth Heauen and to betray Princes hath rewards in hell a thousand thousands of displeasing motions disquieted their discontented mindes dishonoured as they thought by the vertues of King Richard disgrace boyling in her greatest heart could no longer be suppressed but néeds the flames of fury must breake forth and a flattering practise of reuengement mollifie their intollerable torments and in this manner was it accomplished Prince Phillip the onely sonne and heire apparant to Don Iohn the pride and hopes of Austria in whose life and good Fortune consisteth his countries honor like a desperate and prodigall gallant in a dissembling shape of friendship challenged King Richard at a Princely turnament and in the knightly games of tilting personally to combat hand to hand the English King in the Aprill of his man-hood nothing inferior in prowesse to Prince Phillip hauing the sparkes of Maiesty glowing in his bosome in a most princely manner accepted his challenge and against the day appointed prouided al things fitting for so noble an enterprise Time with his lazy wings séemed to fly too slowly and to crosse the forward attempts of these youthfull combitants each minute séemed an houre each houre a day and each day a moneth till the appointed time came of this royall turnament so bold forward and illustrious were these martialists the one striuing for honor the other for reuenge I néed not here speake of the sumptuous preparations the excéeding charge and costly habilliments prouided against that day numberlesse were the eye-witnesses of this Court-like pastime ready prepared to bid them welcome with a gracious applause To come to the fulnesse of this glory the day approched the morning Sunne chéerefully rose with a bright smile the christall Skie put on her fairest robe and the moderate aire séemed to further their procéedings all things by nature were as furtherers to summon them to Armes Don Iohn himselfe attended by his greatest Nobility sate as Vmpiers in the case and each Lady with a prepared eye was ready to censure of their deserts the tilting place being rayled in
