so also by homage and fealtie vnite vnto the same as by particular declarations shall most manifestly appere by the testimony of suche as haue left writing for proue and confirmation therof In whiche matier passing ouer the deathe of kynge Humbre the actes of Dunwald king of this realme the diuisiō of Belin Brene the victories of king Arthure we shal begyn at the yere of our lord DCCCC which is DCXLII yeres by past a tyme of sufficient auncientie from whiche we shall make speciall declaration and euidence of the execution of our right and title of superioritie euermore contynued and preserued hytherto ¶ EDVVARDE the fyrst before the conquest sonne to Alured kyng of Englande had vnder his dominion and obedience the king of Scottis And here is to be noted that this matier was so notorious and manifest as Maryon a Scot writing that storye in those dayes graunteth confesseth and testifieth the same and this dominion contynued in that state XXIII yere At whyche tyme Athelstaine succeded in the crowne of Englande and hauynge by battayle conquered Scotlande he made one Constantine kynge of that partie to rule and gouerne the countray of Scotlande vnder him adding this princely woorde That it was more honour to hym to make a kynge than to be a kyng XXIIII yeres after that whiche was the yere of our lorde DCCCCXLVII Eldred kynge our progenitour Athelstains brother toke homage of Irise then kinge of Scottis XXX yeres after that whiche was the yere of our lorde DCCCCLXXVII kyng Edgar our predecessor toke homage of Kynalde king of Scottis Here was a lyttell trouble in Englande by the death of sayncte Edwarde kynge and martyr distroyed by the deceite of his mother in lawe but yet within memory XL yeres after the homage done by Kynald to kyng Edgare that is to say in the yere of our lord MXVII Malcolme the kynge of Scottes dydde homage to Knute our predecessour After this homage done the Scottis vttered some piece of theyr naturall disposition whervppon by warre

gyuen to Malcolme his sonne by our sayd progenitour saynte Edwarde vnto whome the sayde Malcolme made homage and fealtie WITHIN XI yeres after that Wylliam Conquerour entred this realme wherof he

Wherfore beinge after required by Steuen then obteynynge possession of the realme to make his homage he refused so to do bycause he had before made it to the sayde Matilde and thervpon forbare After whiche Dauids deathe whiche ensued shortely after the sonne of the sayd Dauid made homage to the said kyng Steuen XIIII yeres after that whiche was in the yere of our lorde MCL William king of Scottis

the superior lord in the tyme of vacation benefices offices fees promotions passid in that tyme from the mere gift of our sayde progenitour as in the right of this crowne of England Sheriffes named and apoynted writtis preceptes made obeyed and executed And finally al that we do now in the Duchy of Lancaster the same dyd our progenitour for the tyme of contention for that title in the realme of Scotlande by the consent and agrement of all astates of the realme assembled and consulted with for that purpose At whiche tyme the byshoppes of saynt Andrewes and Glascoo were not as they nowe be archebyshoppes but recognised the prouince of our archebishop of Yorke whiche extended ouer all that countrey NOVV if the Scottis wyl take exception to the homages of theyr pryncis as made in warre by force whiche is not true what wyll they say or can they for shame alledge agaynst their owne parlyament not of some but of all confirmed testified by theyr writynge and seales whervnto nothing enforced them but right and reason being passed in peace and quiet without armour or compulsion If they say they did it not they speake like them selues If they say they dyd it then doo they nowe lyke them selfes to withdrawe their duetie not so moche to be blamed as to be amended THVS APPERETH vnto you the begynnyng of the righte of superioritie with a perpetuall contynuaunce without intermission within memory certayne omission and forbearynge vpon the groundes and occasions before specified we deny not Wherby they haue many tymes sought and taken theyr oportunities to withdrawe the doinge of theyr duetie in knowlege of our superioritie ouer theym whiche to auoyde they haue not cared what they sayde or alleged though it were neuer so vntrue lyeng alwayes in awayte whan they myght annoy this realme not without theyr owne great dangier peryl and extreme detriment But as they detrected the doing of theyr duetie so god euer graunted vnto this realme force to compell them thervnto within memory not withstandyng any theyr interruption by resistence which vnto the tyme of our progenitour Henry the VI neuer indured so longe as it made intermission within tyme of mynde wherby the possession might seme to be enpaired from the tyme of Henry the VI vnto the seuenth yere of our reigne how our realme hath ben for a season lacerate and torne by diuersitie of titles tyl our time and sins by warre outwardly vexed and troubled The story is so lamentable for some parte therof as were tediouse to reherse SITHENS THE deathe of our progenitour Henry the VI our grandfather Edwarde the IIII reygned who after great trauailes to atteyne quietnes in his realme fynally in the tyme of preparation of warre against Scotlande dyed RICHARDE the III than vsurped for a smalle tyme in yeres whom the kynge oure father by the strength of goddis hande ouerthrewe in battail and mooste iustly attayned the possession of this realme who neuertheles after the great tempestious stormes fyndynge all matiers nat yet broughte to a perfecte quiete and reste ceassed and forbare to require of the Scottis to do theyr duetie thinkyng it policy rather for that time to assay to tame theyr nature by the plesant coniunction and conuersation of affinitie then to charge them with theyr fault and require duety of them when oportunitie serued not by force and feare to constrayne and compell them AND thus passed ouer the reygne of oure father without demaunde of this homage And being our reygne nowe XXXIIII yeres we were XXI yere letted by our Nephieu his minority being then more carefull howe to brynge hym out of daungier to the place of a king then to receyue of him homage when he had full possession in the same Wherefore beinge now passed sithens the last homage made by the kinges of Scottis to oure progenitour Henry the VI CXXII yere at whiche tyme the homage was done at Wyndesor by Iames Stuard then king of Scottis as afore LVI of these yeres the crowne of this realme was in contention the trouble wherof engendred also some busynesse in the tyme of the kyng our father whiche was XXIIII yere And in our tyme XXI yere hath passed in the minority of our Nephieu So as finally the Scottis resortynge to their onely defence of discontinuance of possession can onely alledge iustly but XIII yere of sylence in the tyme of our reigne beinge al the other tymes sythens the homage done by Iames Steward suche as the silence in them had they ben neuer so longe coulde nat haue ingendrid preiudice to the losse of any right that may yet be declared and proued due For what can be imputed to king Edward for not demanding homage beinge in strife for that estate whervnto the homage was due What shulde Rycharde the III. serche for homage in Scotlande that had neither right ne leysure to haue homage done vnto hym in Englande Who can blame our father knowynge the Scottis nature neuer to do their duetie but for feare if he demaunded not that of them whiche they wold exchue if they might being his realme not clerely than purged from yll seede of sedition sparkeled and scattered in the cruell ciuile warres before LAVVE AND reason serueth that the passing ouer of tyme not commodious for the purpose is not allegable in prescription for the losse of any right And the minoritie of the kyng of Scottis hath endured XXI yeres of our reigne whyche being an impediment on their part the hole prescription of the Scottis if the matier were prescriptible is thus deduced euidentely to XIII yere whiche XIII yere without excuse we haue ceassed and forborne to demaunde our duetie lyke as the Scottis haue lykewyse cessed to offer and tende the same For whiche cause neuerthelesse we do not enter this warre ne mynded to demaunde any suche matier Nowe beinge rather desirous to reioyse and take comfort in the frendshyppe of our Nephieu as oure neyghbour than to moue matier vnto hym of displeasure wherby to alienate suche naturall inclination of loue as he shuld haue towarde vs. But such be the workes of god superior ouer all to suffre occasions to be minystred whereby due superioritie may be knowen demanded and required to the intent that according thervnto all thinges gouerned in due order here we may to his pleasure passe ouer this lyfe to his honour and glory whiche he grant vs to do in such rest peace and tranquillitie as shal be mete and conuenient for vs. ❧ ❧
