Elizabeth when she sent Antonio with a Fleet under the Command of Sir John Norris and Sir Francis Drake with whom also went the Earl of Essex into Portugal where they landed and came before Lisbon but finding none ready to joyn with them as Antonio had made them believe after some exploits they were forced to return re infecta Thus he kept his Grown making the Portugals for fear and awe of his Power more than out of good will to subject and submit themselves to his yoak which they of tentimes discovered by their murmurings and repinings As soon as he was dead Twentiethly Philip the 4th his Son K. of Spain succeeded and was the 20th King of Portugal he committing all to the Government of his great Favourite Olivares by his way of policy different from his Father by seeking to establish the yoak more firm by tyranny and oppression at last lost the whole for the Portugals were very sensible of their slavery and hated the Spanish yoak to the death they perceived that the Kings of Spain had broke their words with them in all things and had now set over them a Woman to be their Governess Margaret di Mantona who had no relation at all to the Kings of Castile and though she of her self was a prudent woman yet she was swayed too much by the Secretary of State Vasconsellos a Spaniard one of mean extraction a proud fellow and one who sought by all ways the utter ruine of the Portugals and wholly to enslave them that the Portugals conspired together and were resolved to have a King of their own they were also encouraged to this by the revolt of the Catalonians from the Spaniard At last therefore finding the Government insufferable and their Grievances no longer to be born the smother'd fire broke forth into a flame upon the 1 of Feb. An. 1640 and all on a sudden the chief of the Nobility and Gentry and a world of the Commonalty led on by the Marquess of Ferrer and the Count of Vimiosa took Arms and coming to the Castle of Lisbon surprised the Guards being two Companies of Spaniards and two of Germans who affrighted at the suddenness of the Tumult and the Multitude made no resistance They soon entred securing the Governess and killing the Secretary Vasconsellos with some few more that made resistance shewing a great despight to the Secretary whom the common people cut all to pieces using his body in a most vile manner to satisfie their implacable rage This done they proclaim the Duke of Braganza King And thus the Kings of Spain lost the whole Dominion of Portugal all the rest of the Territories both abroad and at home in a few months returned wholly into the King of Portugal's hands and so have continu'd to this day the Spaniards keeping only the Town of Cexta in Affrica of all that justly belonged to the Portugal so great so full and so quick a change was hardly to be paralleld in past Ages and all through the natural hatred the Portuguize bore to the Spaniards Twenty one John the 4th Duke of Braganza thus came to the Crown who was the Grandson of John Duke of Bragance and Katherine the right and indubitable Heir of the House of Lorrain He was married to Lonysa Sister to the Duke of Medina Sidonia a Woman of a noble heroick and masculine Spirit and whose prudence and courage was no small furtherance of the Dukes obtaining his Right saying That 't was better nobly to dy in adventuring for the Crown than to be made a slave by the Spanish Tyranny and to live always in fear of his Enemies They were both Crowned at Lisbon with great pomp and splendor and as they had obtained the Crown with much prudence and magnanimity so they kept it with courage and policy God blessing their Armys with victory and success all their days Thus I have given you a brief Accompt of the History of Portugal from the beginning to make way for the better understanding the following Relation of the Actions of the Son of King John Alphonso the sixth being the 22d King of that Nation and as they were remarkable and notorious I have given you a full and ample Relation thereof which you may find in the following Narrative A RELATION OF THE Troubles that happened in the Court OF PORTUGAL In the Years 1667 and 1668. AFTER the Re-establishment of Don John the Eighth Duke of Bragansa in the Throne of his Ancestors which the Castilians had taken from them the Portugals being glad that they had shaken off the yoak of their Dominion began to find the sweetness which they used to have when they lived under the Power of their own natural Princes This new King had then by his Wife Donna Lonysa Frances de Gusman but three Children the Prince Theodosius and the Infantas Joan and Catherine Three years after he increased his
