depriued by Eric his brother cast into the wretched bandes of imprisonment From whence at length being by good fortune deliuered he ioyned his sonne Magnus quopartner with him in his raigne Birgerius now at libertie knitting amalicious reuenge with his auctoritie did cal to remēbraūce the spiteful wrongs he had suffred at the handes of his brethren His vnquenchable colour kynled so fast for repaying the like euyll that he would by no meanes be pacified til that with their bloud he was satisfied A vnnaturall murder among brethren When hys brethren least feared hym and when they thought the stinking mist of al malice to be voide then did he with a tained coulour of frendshyp request them to a banquet where in the myddest of their mirth they were cruelly slaine This horrible detestable fact dyd so creepe into the eares of the Commons that it moued euery mā to the iust reuengement of so murdrish a dede Then he with his Quene fled left his sonne Magnus behinde him whose heade recōpensed the offence of his father After whō they aduaunced Magnus the son of Eric which was behedded at his brothers banquet to the imperial crowne His raigne was so prosperous that with the help of vertue and the fauour of good fortune The kyngdom of Norway knyt to the crown● of ●we●ia he ioyned the country of Norway to his kingdom of Swecia was crowned king of both countries He yelded Nature her due the yeare of Christ 1326. and left a sonne called Magnus heire to bothe the kyngdomes Magnus did promis the mariage of his sonne Aquine to the natural sister of the Earle of Holst on

with them forthwith they were sent of the Earle of Holst to Albert Duke of Magnopolis father in law to the sayd Earle who had maried Eufemia the kings sister whose sonne named Albert they would haue to their king and so depriued Magnus from al his royall dignitie But he seing him selfe deposed forsaken dyd ioyne with Aquine to make cruel war against Albert whose force nought auailed for Alberts power was more able to resist them then theirs was to ouerthrow him Magnus of ●d●iuexyle Wherfore Magnus was compelled in the ende to be contented with his banishment wherein he dyed Albert being now established and with princely auctority confirmed in his kingdome did apoint hymselfe with al honourable furniture syt for a King leauing the charge of the regall gouernement in the handes of Dismarie

death of her husbande protected the two kingdomes with her litle sonne Olaue And hauing a desire to the regiment of Swecia she began to quarel with Albert king of the same They both leuied two mighty armies committing the successe of their good or euyl fortune to the bloudy lot of war Albert who hadde finished the course of hys prosperous raygne was wyth his yonge sonne Eric of Margaret taken

subiectes to one crowne and haue alwayes remained so euer since The Norwaise neuer chaūging nor disagreing but the Swecians refusing to beare the troublesome yoke of a straunger haue often tymes shaken of the societie of the Danes Now Albert vpon this condicion was deliuered oute of myson that he should within three yeares folowyng pay three score thousand marke or els deliuer the town and Castel of Stockholme otherwyse to be imprisoned againe Albert would haue surrendred the City but the Swecians would not by any meanes agree to it he being therfore in dispaire and voyde of all hope of recouering hys kyngdome dyd geue vp al and contented hym selfe wyth his old Magnopolus The mightye Margaret triumphantlye raygnynge Quene of the three kingdomes passed her youthe wyth great pompe

Engelbert a noble man both by birth condicion dyd rayse rebellion against him And where as he had tortified the Castels and fortes of Swecia with captaines officers of the Danes Thys Engelbert remoued
