vppon pleasure and added to the eude of his Booke he bringeth in this Albericke Duke of Mosellane whom he pretendeth to be robbed by Merouee speaking in these verses Quaeres Alberi Quae fata parant fili Tantum dissidium ne imperio patris Illustratus agas quod rapiunt truces Meruingi So doth he also induce Charles Duke of Lorraine unploring the ayde of all Christian Princes against Capet and his of spring in these wordes Huc huc adeste ●ortes quique principes Huc aduolate quaeso Reges ac Duces Ecquis feret vestrum fati insolentiam c. Capetus ille inuasor Regni Gallici Lothario Francorum Rege mortuo Heu me satum quidem antiqua prosapia Quondam illius magni ac Insinis Caroli Armis volens procul expellere c. The conclusion whereof is Vnum mihi superest vt vindicem Deum Expectem in hisce a●gustijs As if with Dido in Virgil he would say Exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus vltor I will here omit infinite other speeches which he ouerthwarteth to the misprision of the race of the Capets likewise his pretendings to Anieow Prouince Naples c. preiudicially to this Crowne which also he striueth for so much as he may But the commendations which with the cōtempt of our King he attributeth to the Guyzes of our time may not be dissembled The affayres of France sayth he had good successe vnder the gouernment of the Cardinall of Lorraine but after his decease Henry now raigning grew out of fauour with his subiects because that soone after the Cardinal of Guyze had anoynted him giuing himself to his pleasures he ruled all things after his owne fancie which are the meanes to effeminate and abase a Kings heart thus began France to be wrinckled and euery thing to runne into ruyne Speaking of the late Lord Prince of Conde he did sayth he all that he might to attaine to the tyrannie Also after the death of King Frances the second be and his associates were suffered to depart without correctiō Neither doth he of the Kings late brother or the King of Nauarre speake much more modestly But whereto all this except to the ende to declare the King through his negligence and the Princes of his blood for their supposed Rebellion for euer vnworthy the Crowne Also that as their Preachers haue sufficiently cryed out euery one may in these miseries which vnto man are as spurres to nouelties cast their eyes vppon these pretended after twigges or bourgeons of Charlemaigne Howbeit herein I haue onely vndertaken to open the Authors purpose in his Booke as also the entents of those that procured it to bee printed and whosoeuer will take the paine to reade it may finde much more Neuerthelesse least any should deceiue themselues I will briefly in fewe wordes examine the groundes of this succession He fetcheth his Dukes of Mosellane out of the Troyan horse with the Francons In what credible Historie hath he found it He maketh Albericke Duke of Mosellane sonne to Clodio le Cheuelu and defrauded of the Realme by Merouee where can he shewe that except in a few supposed Genealogies of Lorrain notwithstanding toward the end of his fables hee quoteth many Authors to make a shewe who all speake neuer a worde thereof But what will he say to those Histories that make Merouee the sonne of Clodio or how could he bee other then the eldest sith he was of age sufficient to be tutor to Alberick And which is more how can Albericke complaine that Merouee robbed him of the Crowne of Frāce when if we will beleeue the best Historographers Merouee was the first Francon that euer bare title of King in France But let vs graunt them all their fables from Clodulph Duke of Mosellane vnto Bona wife to Charles Duke of Lorraine yet how could the mariage of her bring to him Clodulphes right to the Crowne when the Salick law which was originary Frēch and made with the Counsaile of Pharamond excludeth the female frō the succession thereof Or admit Charles Duke of Lorraine was wrongfully defrauded of the succession of Charlemaign by Hugh Capet and his posteritie yet discending they will graunt that Ottho his only sonne dyed without issue but if contrary to the Salick law they will admit daughters to succeede let them shewe vs some reason why the house of Lorraine should bee preferred before our Kings sith themselues holde opinion that they all discended of one and the same daughter But if they wil hould them to Geoffrey le Barbu Earle of Ardenne whom Ottho adopted what neede they bring in these daughters Besides where finde they this adoption or in what Court was it euer exēplefied yea or how dare they auowe that it was then purposed to extend to the Crowne of France And as for that of Eustace of Boulogne who séeth not therin manifest fraude sith themselues 〈…〉 neither author nor title yea and are euen 〈…〉 who Godfrey of Buillon was also 〈…〉 were he or Eustace whom Geoffrey le 〈…〉 Where also they labour to proue that this Eustace was both by father and mother discoured of Charlemaigne to what purpose may it serue 〈…〉 was but by daughters vnlesse in subuerting the Satick lawe to habandon this Realme for a pray not to the Lorraines onely or to the Ard●●●●s but also to all the families in Europe that haue bene allied to the house of Fraunce Moreouer although Isabell maried with Renee of Anieow and Poland with Frederick Earle of Vaudemont yet who can affirme that therby they transported to their heires of Lorraine or Guyze the rights of Clodio and Charlemaigne which themselues were not capable of neither did transport although they had had the same These therefore are but fables wherwith in the meane time they feede the people blemishing so much as in them lyeth our Salick law as false and purposedly inuented Moreouer notwithstanding all their pretences which are most false were true yet after that an Estate is established in a familie by lawfull calling and approbation of the Commonwealth and people and that for so many hundred yeeres it is a manifest token that God against whom it is in vaine to striue and to whose decree all people ought to cōdiscend hath transferred such a Realme or Estate into that familie But because many an euident right hath decayed for lacke of power and many a wrong hath preuayled against right through default of strength to authorize the same the especiall poynt consisteth in debarring them from accompanying their fraud with force especially with our own as many tymes haue fallen out through the calamities of Ciuill warres which doe yeeld the people vnpatient of their present estate and starueth them after nouelties This discourse haue I thought good to direct to your Maiestie not for your self onely but also for others that haue great interest therein and to whose lot it will peraduenture fall to haue the deciding of this quarrell or els to leaue it ouerstrong for their successors vnlesse they before take order for the same And I beseech God to graunt them good coūsaile to his glorie the preseruation of their greatnesse and the benefite of the poore people Amen FINIS In his summary before the 4. tome
