Emperour had instead of it that Country between the Rivers of Saone and the Rhone the Alpes and the Sea which Dominon was erected to the Title of a Kingdom by Charles the Bald King of France and Emperour in favour of that Hermengarda whom Bozon one of the Court of Charles and his wives kinsman took away These two Bozon and Hermengarda gave a beginning to that second Kingdom of Burgundy or the Kingdom of Arles about the year 875. which continued under these Kings among many alterations to that last Rodolphus an 1036. All that time Provence was part of that Kingdome of Arles 4. Which Kingdom being extinct in that Rodolphus and united to the Empire by Conrad the Salique shortly after by the weakness of the Emperours and the disorders risen in the Empire four Principalities were framed out of it as we said before That of Provence under the title of a County was the most considerable as being full of good Towns and of great commerce by reason of the Sea It was possest by the family of Berengers with the title of Counts whose History was written by Nostradamus 5. That House of Berengers kept the County of Provence till the time of St Lewis when Raymond Berenger the last Count left four Daughters the eldest whereof Margaret was married to St Lewis The three others were also married to Soveraign Princes Eleonor to Henry the III. King of England Fancie to Richard his brother who was since created King of the Romans and the fourth Daughter Beatrix to Charles Count of Anjou brother to St Lewis Raymond dying an 1231. left that Beatrix Heir of all his Estate leaving Legacies onely to the three others to each three thousand marks Another Raymond Count of Thoulouse would have taken away that Beatrix to marry her But St Lewis prevented him sending an Army into Provence and taking her gave her to his brother Charles to wife to whom he gave the County of Anjou And thirty yeares after the same Charles was invested by the Pope with the Kingdome of the two Sicilies as we shall see hereafter The County of Anjou returned to the Crown of France being given as a portion to Margaret Grand-child to that Charles who was married to Charles Count of Valois Father to King Philip de Valois And many yeares after that first Branch of the Kings of Naples and Counts of Anjou pretended no right to that County it was given to Lewis brother to King Charles the V. who founded the second House of Anjou now erected to a Dukedome But the two other pieces of that Estate which Charles brother to St. Lewis enjoyed with his wife Beatrix which was Provence and the Kingdom of the two Sicilies remained alwayes united and the Kings of Naples and Sicily whether of the first House of Anjou or of the second or of the family of Arragon have alwayes claimed a right to the County of Provence so that Naples and Provence go under one right as we shall more fully expound when we shall speak of the claim of France upon Naples 6. Jane Queen of Naples of the first house of Anjou went out of Italie An. 1379. with Pope Clement VII and retired to Avignon when that great Schism began which contitinued forty years Since which time although there have been many disputes for the succession of Naples between the Families of Charles de Duras the Dukes of Anjou and the house of Arragon and that portion of Italie past through many changes yet Province into which that Jane retired was soon after put in the hands of Lewis first Duke of Anjou brother to Charles the V. and both he and his descent enjoyed it peaceably without any disturbance from the houses of Hungary and Arragon who were fighting for the Kingdom of Naples although both pretended that Province belonged to them by the same right But the conveniency of the place as lying under the wings of France which might assist it at any time kept the possession thereof to the house of Anjou And finally from the house of Anjou it past to that of France being left to Lewis the XI by Charles Count du Main Heir and Nephew to Rene titular King of Naples and reall Possessor of Province Lewis the XI though he knew the right of the French in Naples which his Son Charles the VIII and his other successours have pursued yet he neglected it and contented himself to take Provence By this discourse it appears that who so hath the lawfull Possession of the Kingdom of Naples which we shall examine afterwards hath also a lawfull right to Province 7. Besides that claim of the Possessors of Naples upon Province disputable between that house first of Anjou and that of Arragon Austria there is a more particular claim of the Dukes of Lorraine against the French Kings Heirs to that Charles du Main The Lorriners pretend that René having a Daughter named Yoland from which the house of Lorrain is descended could not lawfully dis-inherit his Grandchild to give his Estate to Charles du Maine his Nephew To which the French answer two things 1. That Province was a purchase of René who could dispose of it 2. And that Province useth the Civil or Roman Law by which testaments are free But the discussion of that point is for another place Howsoever this remains That the Dukes of Anjou and the French Kings after them have peaceably enjoyed the County of Province above 270. years and the invaders of Naples never had any thing in it Which indeed hinders not but that they may have a right to it But the reason whereby we shall exclude them hereafter from any right to the Kingdome of Naples will serve also to invalid their claim upon Province Paragraphe III. Of the Dutchy of Burgundy 1. The Burgundians came out of Germany or some other Nation of the North in that great inundation of Northern people over the Roman Empire about the year 400. founded a State under the name of the first Kingdom of Burgundy about the Rivers of Saone and Rhone and near the Alpes And that State having begun An. 407. was ruined by the children of the great Clovis about the year 527. and lasted about six score years 2. Since which time under the first race of the French Kings Burgundy was part of the Kingdom of Orleans some part of it also belonging to the Kingdom of Mets and Austrasia And in the end the Kingdom of Mets and that of Burgundy became all one till by the partage between the children of Lewis the Meek that part of Burgundy which is beyond the River of Saone remained with the Empire and in the portion of Lothary the eldest Son The other on this side of the River of Saone was allotted to France and was a considerable member of the same Before the institution of Fees made in the beginning of the third race Burgundy was governed by Dukes and three Brothers of Hugh Capet the first of
