Bishop of Guardia The next day after his maiesties comming to this place he sent his Agent to Santaren to declare to the gouernour and Magistrates of the Towne how he was determined to come thither praying them to receaue and defend him in case thennemy pursued him thither Wherevpon the gouernour and Magistrates vppon notice of the Kinges comming went with a great companye of the Citizens to meet him halfe a myle without the Towne and there very humblye receaued him not without great lamentation for that which had happened at Lisbon the day before and so conducted him to the royall palace of the City offering all with one accorde to spende their liues and gooddes in his defence if he woulde staye there Bur for that the Towne was not verye strong nor conuenientlye furnished with a garrison munitions of warre and other necessaryes to abyde a siege he stayed there onely twoo dayes to heale his woundes and then tooke his iourney towarde Porto of Portugall a sea towne indifferent strong about fifty myles from Lisbon whither the Duke of Aluaes armye easely coulde not passe where the Kinge might haue conuenient place and oportunitie to repayre his armie and stay for ayde which he hoped for out of Fraunce or England In this iourney the king Don Anthonio was accompanyed by the Byshop of Guardia the Erle of Vimioso Emanuell de Sylua then gouernour of the sayde Citie of Santaren Peter de Meneses and his maiesties Agent beeing all of his priuie counsell with manye other Lordes Gentlemen and other persons of great worshippe and calling to the number of about twoo hundred horsemen and a thousande footemen And in the same by reason of his woundes became so weake and feeble that he coulde not abyde to sit his horse nor be carryed in his Litter but was dryuen to be borne vppon mens shoulders Then comming to the Towne of Montemaior not farre from Colâ—mbre his maiestie stayed there six daies to refresh himselfe and cure his woundes gathering men togeather in the meane space to aboute the number of eyghte thousande wherewith he martched to the Citye of Auero and was in all places as he passed through the countrey receaued and acknowledged as Kinge notwithstanding that the Kinge of Castile had alreadye subdued Lisbon the chiefe Cytye of the kingdome When the sayde Kinge Don Anthonio drewe neere to this Cytye of Auero hee sommoned thinhabitantes to take his parte and topen the gates of their Cytie vnto him according to their oathe Vppon refusall whereof on theire behalfe madehee gaue in charge to therle of Vimioso whome after that hee made Counstable of Portugall to doe his endeuour to take it by force giuing also the spoyle of the Cytye to the souldiours And thoughe it were well furnished with munitions of warre and other necessaries yet the greater parte of the Citizens refufed to make resistaunce againste Kynge Anthonies men insomuche that the Towne was taken easily by scaling the walles and otherwise and so brought vnder his obedience and sacked But yet vppon the taking of the same his maiestie gaue suche order that the soldiours exceeded not in their insolencie so that all thinges were soone in quietnesse his maiestie lodging there first in the monasterye of rhe dominican freres by the space of three dayes wente from-thence to a verye fayre large house pleasauntlye scituated vppon the riuer and beelonging to Francisco de Tauares a gentleman who a little before was gone to the king of Castile to sue for pardon bycause he had saluted and acknowledged king Anthonie for king When Kinge Anthony had caused certaine traytours in this Cyty to be executed by order of law he continued his iourney towarde the said towne of porto of Portugall lykewise sommoning the citizens of the same to acknowledge him for their king and to open the gates of their cyty vnto him In this towne was then gouernor Pantaleon de SÃ brother of Frauncis de SÃ one of the three gouernours which presentlye after Don Anthonie was chosen King fled to the king of Castile This gouernour being likewise wonne to the King of Castiles side was a meane with other of his complices that entrance into this towne was denyed to King Anthony his maiestie conceauing greate displeasure thereat assembled men from all partes thereaboutes to encrease his armie made al possible preparation to passe ouer the Ryuer and take the towne by force When all thinges necessary for the siege were in a readines as the king was marching with all his hoste against the town hauing in his campe about twelue thousand men and yet the most of them vnarmed the Citizens began presentlye to ryse in such a mutinie against Pantaleon the gouernour and his complyces who pretended to resist Don Anthonio and his men that the sayde gogouernor and his pertakers had much a doe to saue themselues by flight from the furye of the people whereby it came to passe that al the religious and clergy men of the towne camme foorth to meete the King beseeching his maiestie to pardon the Cytizens in that they had not yeilded the towne into his hands vpon the first sommonce according to their alleagence and the dutye of their oath Whereupon the King in thend was content of his naturall clemeÌ„cie to pardon their offence vpon condition they should compound with the souldiours to whome he had graunted the sacking of the towne By reason whereof the Citizens promised for the safegarde of the same from sacking to giue the souldioures a hundred thousande Duckets And so the Kinge at his entraunce into the towne was honorablye receaued by the Citizens whereupon his maiestie presently sent the Bishop of Guardia from thence with al speede to the next prouince called Entre dueroe Minho to encourage thinhabitans and gather men victuals for thaugmenting and prouision of his campe and so stayed certaine daies in the same towne expecting aide and gunpowder from Fraunce Nowe the Duke of Alua vnderstanding howe Kinge Anthony was come to Porto and there encresed his army feared least his Maiesty should receaue aide from Fraunce and therefore in all hast sente Sancho de Auila sometime gouernour of the Castle of Antwerp with two thousand horsemen and eyght thousand foote men Artillerie and all other munitions and necessarye prouision of warre to besiege the saide towne of Porto who ariued there about thirtie daies after King Don Anthonio came thither Nowe when the said King Don Anthonio was informed of thenimies comming he gaue order to all townes where they should passe to giue them free passage without resistaunce for that his maiestie coulde not defende them by reason he wanted horsemen and gunpowder and that the greatest part of his souldiors which serued him in the getting of Porto were retyred hoame to their owne houses When Sancho Dauila was come before the Towne of Porto hee stayed with his armie and planted his artillery vppon the farther side of the riuer of Dureto ouer against Porto from

to yeilde them selues into the sayde king of Castiles subiection and obedience With this answere the king of Castile was highly offended and therefore within shorte space after prepared an armye by sea amounting to aboute three thousand men whereof Peter Baldez was Captaine who arriued with his nauie well appointed in the beginning of Iune 1581 neere thisle of Tercera the strongest of of all thislandes of Assores and albeit the same Islande remained vnfurnished not onely of souldiours but also of armour gunpowder and other necessaries fit for the warres yet by Ciprian Figueredo his vertue and industrie whome the inhabitantes of thisland had chosen for their Captayne thennimie was repulsed with the losse of aboute seuen hundred of his spanyards all olde souldiours and amongest them many of the chiefe gentlemen that first sette foote on land who were all presently slayne which spectacle caste such a feare into the rest of tharmy remaining in the shippes that none of them durst come a lande insomuche that Baldez with this foyle was driuen to returne into Portugall to his greate shame Aboute the same tyme when Kinge Don Anthonio was as is aforemencioned come to Calais hee stayed not long there but passed with all expedition into England from whence he presentlye dispatched a Carauell towarde the saide Islande of Tercera with letters to Ciprian de Figueredo aduertising him of the successe of his voyage and howe he was arriued in health in the realme of England Vppon the receipte of these letters Ciprian himselfe and all thinhabitants of thislande conceaued suche ioy as is scant possible to be beleued For manye of them thought his maiestie had bene eyther dead or fallen into thandes of his enemy notwithstanding the Constable and Anthonye de Britto Pimentill had perswaded certaine of thislanders who repaired into Fraunce to inquire newes of him howe his highnesse was come thither and for a certaine respectt kept himselfe secrete in a Castle whereat thislanders greatly reioyced whome Cipryan confirmed in this good opinion although he supposed the same to be cunningly inuented as in truth it was by the Constable and Anthonie de Britto to encourage the people and keepe them in good deuotion toward his maiestie who came not into Fraunce till a good while after But it fell so out that this was no small furtherance to thobteyning of the victorie whereof mention is before made Ciprian and the rest of thinhabitantes of thisland sending backe the carauell to his highnesse certified him of the victorie obteyned which was gotten but two dayes before the comming of the Carauell offering their ready seruice to spend their liues and goodes for the maintenance of his maiesties authoritye and preseruation of thislance as they had alreadye done At the retourne of this Carauell into Englande Kinge Anthonie was there still preparing an Armie wherewith hee purposed to meete the fleete which was to come that yere to Spaine and Portugall from thest and west Indies But But for asmuch as it was after knowne to be then to late to execute thenterprise it remained in suspence without anye thinge effected that yere Wherfore King Anthonie departed out of England and in the moneth of October following arriued at the hauen of Diepe and passed from thence to Parris where he was honorably receaued aswell by the most Christian king as by the Queenemother The King of Castile considering howe greatelye it stoode him vppon to subdue the saide Ilandes of Assores and specially Tarcera as the most principalle and chiefest amongst them that hee might therby better assure his nauigation from the East West Indies determined to prepare a greate and puissant armye by Sea for the yeare following 1582. Vppon notice whereof King Anthonie gaue aduertisement of the same presently to the queene-mother She for the repression of the Kinge of Castiles purpose gaue order for the preparation of another armye by sea in Fraunce for Kinge Anthony appoynting her cosen the lorde Phillip Trossi generall of the same and the countie of Brissake for his lieuetennant This armye consisted of seuen and fiftye shippes of warre aswell great as small and foure or fiue thousande souldiours with aboute sixe hundred frenche gentlemen of name and armes and certen Portugalles King Don Anthonio determined to goe personally in the same armye to see the sayde Islandes of Assores and thanke his good and faithfull subiectes thinhabitantes of the same for theire duties and loyaltye thitherto shewed vnto him and withall most principall to maintayne militarye discipline amongest his soldiours meaning also by the waye to take thisle of saint Michaell one of the greatest of thislandes of Assores and then possessed by the Kinge of Castile Whereuppon aboute the ende of Iune 1582 his maiestie sayled from Belisle with his sayde armye and arriued before sainct Michaels Isle the three and twentie of Iuly following whiche presentlye yeilded to his highnesse by reason thinhabitantes were well affectioned towarde him sauing certen traytors who were constrayned with the spaniardes that lay there in garrison to about the nuÌ„ber of eyght huÌ„dred to flyinto a strong Castle there In whiche Island Kinge Anthony landed with the principall heades of his army many of his Captaynes and soldiours where his maiestie was well and humbly receaued by his subiectes according to their duties But the thyrde day after they spyed approching towarde the sayde Islande the King of Castiles nauy vnder the conduction of the Marquis of sainct Crosse bringing therein aboute nine or ten thousande fightinge men By occasion whereof it was thoughte necessarye for all them whiche were gone a lande to repayre backe to theire shippes and to prepare themselues for the battayle howbeit the lorde Strossi the CoÌ„stable and others of aucthoritye counselled and intreated kinge Don Anthonye to absent himselfe from the battayle and to rytire into thislande of Tercera and not to hazarde his person in a doubt full battayle sith thereof depended the libertye not onely of the people of Portugall but also of all the reste of Christiandome The King was against their aduise a good while but in the ende ouer come with their reasons he resolued to followe their counsell and in a little Carauell together with his agent Edward de Castro and certen others was conueyed into the saide Isle of Tercera leauing in tharmye the Constable with aboute two hundred Portugalles aswell gentlemen as others who came to his Maiestie into Fraunce The next daye being the sixe and twentith of Iulye the Lorde Strossi hauing sette his armie in order determined himselfe first of all to aborde thenimie and therefore comming oute of a greate and mightie ship of seuen hundred tonnes which serued for thadmirall of his armye he shipped himselfe with the Constable and many gentlemen aswell Frenchemen as Portugalles in an other shippe of smaller burthen whiche sayled well wherewith hauing ouercome sonke certen of thennimies shippes hee set so fiercelye vppon the Marquis his viceadmirall conducted by Don Lopus de Figueroa that

declared how for his deliuery out of prison he had promised the King of Castile to assay by all manner of meanes to kill the said King Don Anthonie Or if he could not bring that to passe how at least he would finde the meane to procure certaine french companies or other strange souldiers ouer whome he hoped to be appointed captaine to rise against his maiesty at such time as hee should be readie to ioine battail or in hand to execute any like enterprise or else would do some such thing as should cast the person and campe of the said King Anthony into some notable danger wherein the very trueth is his meaning was to haue kept promise with the said King of Castile For it came to passe within a litle after when King Anthony was ouercome in a sea-battail at the Isle of S. Michael while the Marquisse of S. Crosse remained in the same Isle that the said Edward de Castro being with King Anthony in thislle of Tercera earnestlie perswaded the french companies which were there in garrison whome he had won to him by gifts and otherwise that the Portugalls went aboute to murther them all suddenlie shewing to them for proofe thereof a letter written by King Anthonies agente which though falselie he vouched to containe such matter and likewise made the portugalles on the contrariside beleeue howe they were in the like daunger at the Frenche mens handes When he had laid this foundation he went aboute to put the matter in execution and so handled the same that one day the Frenchmen first made them readie to set vpon the portugalles and slewe Anthony Baracho a gentleman of portugal But as eche party began to put themselues in armes it came to passe by the great dexteritie and wisedome of a portugall Captaine who in time smelled this treason that the matter proceeded no further but all was well pacified the Traitour apprehended Who vppon the falling out of the matter otherwise then he expected woulde presentlie haue retired into the saide Isle of S. Michaell to the Marquis of Sayncte Crosse in an Englishe ship which he had hired for that purpose for a great some of monie Thus the traitor being taken conuict of his treason aswel by his owne confession in the prison as openlie vpon the scaffold was at last beheaded Yet the saide king Don Antonie in remeÌ„braunce and consideration of his former seruices would haue pardoned him had not the common people souldiers made great instance for the open punishment of so great dangerous a treason About the same time Sebastian Caruaillo another Portugal was executed in the said Isle of Tercera for enterprising to kil the said king Don Anthonio Also for the like cause a Castilian gentleman of thorder of the knightes of Malta was afterwardes executed in Fraunce Further for the like offence Iohn Francisco and John Rodrigues desosa were prisoners in France and vpon their conuiction were sent in captiuitie to the said Islande of Tercera a little before the taking thereof by means whereof they recouered their liberty contrary to their desarts But the saide Iohn Rodrigues had neuer escaped from execution in France had not the most excelleÌ„t princesse the Queene of England with whom he had beene king Anthonies Ambassadour made intercession for him Whosoeuer therefore shall rightlye consider all these daungers and greate inconueniencies whiche the saide King Don Anthonio hath endured and escaped may easilye iudge that all this came not to passe without gods peculier prouidence and diuine sufferance that some great matter of importance is hid thereunder namely a great hope is to be conceaued therof that almightie God will vse the sayd king Don Anthonio as a fit instrument to breake the great powre force of the King of Castile wherby through his excessiue and vnmeasurable ambition he would else in tract of tyme inuade not onely all christiandom but also al the rest of the worlde that vnder the faire colour of maintaining the Catholike Romish religion vnder pretence whereof he hath thus manye yeeres afflicted thinhabitantes of the lowe countreys otherwise a good and curteous people that in former tyme had alwayes bene good faithfull subiects to him his auncestors to thintent that vpon the subduing of theÌ„ according to his faÌ„tasie he might easily freely spred his armies ouer England Germany France other nations either for that they receiue or at least permit in their countries any other religioÌ„ theÌ„ only the catholike Romish religioÌ„ or els vnder some other kinde of pretence whatsoeuer This is the marke he shooteth at wil easily hitte except thother christian Princes before theuill creepe any further haue speciall regard to oppose theÌ„selues to his power force by ayding the prouinces vnited of the lowe countreys nowe greately afflicted and also and that most specially the sayde Kinge Don Anthonio who with thayde of some reasonable nauie of ten or twelue thousande men furnished with victualles munition and other necessaries may in shorte tyme without anye greate difficultie recouer his kingdome Whereunto thincredible affection which the Portugalls beare alwayes to their King naturall prince together with thauncient hatred they haue alwaies borne to the Castilians their auncient ennemyes woulde serue for a greate furtherance As the lyke meane serued the prince of Oranges for a greate effect in the sayde lowe countreyes to mainetayne warres there so longe against the forces of the sayd Kinge of Castile Further if King Don Anthonio had recouered Portugall driuen away the castilians he might also easily in short time aswel reduce into his power and dominion the townes of Aphrica with the townes and countreys of the Easte Indies and Brasile where the garrisons consist all of naturall Portugalles as also take from the king of Castile his power by sea consisting chiefely of Portugal shippes Marriners Who without doubte for the naturall affection they beare towarde their Kinge and Countrey and the rather bicause their wiues children landes and goodes remaine in Portugall and for the naturall hatred they beare to the Castilians vnder whome they serue against their willes will easilye come and yeilde themselues to the sayde King Don Anthonie as wee haue seene the lyke example in the sayde lowe countreys when the wars began for the driuing away of the spanyardes Also it is to be noted how the people of Portugall beare a generall hatred against the king of Castile his Castilians not onely in respect of their auncient enmitye against the sayde Castilians but also and most principally for the greate iniuries and indignities which they haue suffered at their handes since the sayde King of Castile by force violence possessed their countrey Whereby all mens mindes are so bent and inflamed against him and his Castilians that their chiefe wishe and expectation is for the sayde kinge Don Anthonie by the ayde of some Princes to enter into Portugall with an armie not onely for their deliuery
