chiefest one He did his person yeeld to him alone As Neuew to our famous D'Aubigni Whom he had in the warres of Italy Well known and highly for his worth esteem'd So as his Neuew for his sake he deem'd Most worthy thus by him to be affected And more then all the rest to be respected To Bernard such was his respect and loue As death from him could not the same remoue His worth that did allure this worthy Knight Thus him to loue and honor doth by right Stirre vp my homely Muse thus to renew His memory with prayses to him dew Among our Britaines to whom he their owne Should be as well as among strangers knowne Yea better since to him they partly owe Both th'Vnions whence their happinesse doth flow Of both the Roses and the Kingdomes twaine With double thanks for this their double gaine Whose vertuous deeds the rather I set forth That worthy mindes may imitate his Worth And worthily aspire to his renowne Which length of time shall not in Lethe drowne Whiles of his Worth and Name the Memory Shall be preseru'd by many a History In Romane Tuscaue French and Spanish scroules As also kept in these my English Roules Of his last retiring to Corstorfin LInternum though obscure the place became Of famous Scipio's last abode when Spaine And Carthage hauing conquer'd with disdaine Vngratefull Rome he loth'd and left the same Corstorfin as obscure in shew or name Did noble Bernard for her guest retaine From thankelesse France when he came home againe To Scipio like in Fortune as in fame Linternum whilest her venerable guest Did her inhabite greater Worth possest Then great and wealthy Rome in all her treasure Corstorfin also may be said as well Whiles worthy Bernard deign'd therein to dwell Of Worth to haue possest as great a measure Of his buriall in the same place BRaue Bernard of a Noble Linage borne In Scotland whom such Vertues did adorne As did him more ennoble and in France Deseruedly to honour high aduance Who Englands parted Roses and with them The Scottish Thistle in their Royall Stemme Help'd to vnite who of a Ruler wise And valiant Warriour well deseru'd the prize In Italy chiefe Theater of his Worth And Victories whose Fame from South to North From East to West did through all Europe flye Interr'd doth in obscure Corstorfin lie But I mistake his better part is past To Heau'n on earth his fame shall euer last Of the Lords of Aubigni descended from the most noble house of Lenox AMong the fairest Branches that haue sprouted From the Illustrious Stocke of Lenox three Came in successiue order Lords to be Of Aubigni like Mars in Armes redoubted The first was Iohn whom for his seruice loyall And valiant deedes King Charles did so regard As he with Princely gifts did him reward And to his Scutcheon adde his Lillies Royall The next was Bernard who such honour gained Both by his valiant Acts and Vertues rare As iustly we may him with them compare That haue by Worth to Honors height attained The third was Robert so for valour praised In many a fight but chiefely in the field Of Marignan that Sunne and Moone beheld As to be France's Martiall he was raised In calmer times their Heyres occasion wanted Not valiant hearts their worth in Armes to shew And now their worthy Of-spring doth renew Their honour in great Britaine there transplanted Where they in happy manner grow and flourish But chiefely he who shines in Worth and place Among her Peeres and whome our Soueraign's Grace Deseruedly doth so aduance and cherish These goodly branches whom their Worth commendeth From Stemme haue sprouted of that Royall Tree Which doth from stormes with sheltring shadow free Great Britaine and in height to Heau'n ascendeth A short Collection of the most notable places of Histories quoted in this Memoriall I Haue thought it meete the better to shew how this Memoriall agreeth with Historicall truth to adde thereunto the most notable places of Histories quoted in the Margent without altering the seuce of the Authors yea or their words but onely in that they are translated and in the abridgement of some narrations wherein other mens actions are interlaced To the said passages I haue added nothing but the connexion and some few briefe obseruations Which collection I haue the rather made for that the things contained in this Memoriall that are of least importance and doubtfulnesse being drawne from Records and Relations of honorable and credible persons the contents thereof which are of greatest unportance and may seeme most doubtfull are testified and auerred by these passages The charge which he had of a Company of men of Armes is thus recorded by Malingre a French Historiographer Charles the seuenth Hist Chronol who did first institute the ordinary Companies of men of Armes in France crected the Company of Scottishmen of Armes of the remnant of the Scottishmen ouer-throwne at Vernueil which consisted of an hundred men of Armes and two hundred Archers giuing them the first place among the French bands of that kinde Of which Company the said Author saith that Bernard Stuart Lord D'Aubigni was the second Captaine Of his Embassage to the King of Scotland Hist Scot●… Lesley Bishop of Rosse maketh mention in this manner Charles the eighth sent into Scotland Bernard Stuart Lord D'Aubigni and Doctor Mallart his Embassadours to renue the ancient League betweene the two Kings and Nations Of his comming to England with King Henry the seuenth Ibid. the said Lesley writeth thus He commanded those Forces that accompanied the Earle of Richmond into England and did him good seruice against the Vsurper King Richard So as the said Earle being crowned King did therefore euer after fauour the Scottish Nation The same is confirmed by the foresaid Malingre Hist Chronol who affirmeth That he was the Kings Lieutenant generall of the Army which was sent to England to assist Henry the seuenth against Richard the third Of his Embassage to the Pope Guicciardin writeth thus In his Hist of Italy l. 1. King Charles sent to the Pope foure Embassadours to wit Bernard D'Aubigni a Chiefetaine being a Scottishman by Nation one of the Treasurers of France the President of the Parliament of Proumce and Peron de Basche Where is to be noted that among men of such dignity he had the first place Yea he was of such reputation as Paulus Iouius doth name no other Embassador but him writing of his Embassage in this wise To the Pope was sent for Embassador Hist l. 1.
