the election of the Emperour namely before the Duke of Saxe a Prince of great puissance authority and command notwithstanding that both Otho the 3. Emperor Pope Gregory the 5. which did ordaine the sanction of the seuen Electors according as Blondus Polydorus Bergomensis Nauclerus Crantzius Balaeus and Egnatius do deliuer were both of them Princes of the house of Saxe for the said Emperour Otho belike considering with himselfe how that hee had done a greater wrong to Charlemaigne in bereauing his race of the Golden Crowne of the Empire by the meanes of his foresaid Electionary sanction or decree thē he had done when as he opened his Sepulcher and bereft his Corps of the Golden Crosse did hang about his neck as Ditmarus who liued in those daies doth write for the which it is said that he was in his sleepe visited affrighted with a reuengefull vision of the said Charlemaigne menacing him with death which shortly after did ensue Otho I say considering the wrong afore-said done to Charlemaigne and his Race endeauored by al meanes to yeeld them some competent satisfaction and therefore preferred the Count Palatine of the Rhine being of the Imperiall bloud and Male Race of Charlemaigne before the Duke of Saxe and the rest of the Princes of the Empire in the fore-said Election Besides that the first Emperour which was elected by the seuen Electors which was Henry the second Duke of Bauier being likewise a Prince of the Saxon bloud and afterwards enstiled Saint Henry for his singular Piety Chastity as Vrspergensis Frisingensis Egnatius Cuspinianus others do witnesse he to make yet some further satisfaction to Charlemaignes Race did both marry the daughter of Siffrid Prince Palatine named Cunegunde and did like-wise restore vnto his brother-in-law Henry the first of this name Prince Palatine the Dukedome of Banier as we learne out of Ditmarus others And it was no doubt in regard of their fore-said descent from Charlemaigne that a certaine super-Imperiall priuiledge was cōferred vnto the Palatine Prince which is as the goldē Bul of the Emperor Charls the 4. doth beare that he may in some case cite and summon the Emperor to appeare and answere before him Iudicially And because that in honor of the two most Noble Princes lately maried Frederick Elizabeth we haue drawne diuers Pedigrees descents both from glorious Charlemaigne and frō many other Emperors Kings of diuers countries cōmon to them both especially seuen therfore mee thought it good to exhibite vnto the readers a sūmary view of the same reseruing the more speciall handling thereof to another labour and worke in Latine In the first foure of the said seuen Pedigrees cōmon to both the said Princes our most gratious Soueraigne King Iames his most Noble son-in-law Prince Fredericke are in one the selfe same degree of descent from the 20 Emperors and 24. Kings therein mentioned In the fifth Pedigree our most gratious Queene Anne and the said Prince are likewise in one and the same degree of Descent From the 4. Emperours and 3. Kings therein named And in th sixth and seuenth Prince Fredericke and Princesse Elizabeth do happely and iointly fall into one and the same degree of descent from the Emperour and 8. Kings contained therein Likewise Prince Charles and Prince Fredericke two brothers-in-law are colineally descended from two-borne-brothers to wit from Henry prince Palatine and Duke of Saxe the elder of the two from whom Prince Fredericke is in the 15. degree and from Otho Earle of Yorke and Emperour the yonger brother from whom P. Charles Duke of Yorke being likewise the yonger of the said two brothers-in-law is descended both on his fathers and his mothers side in the 13. and 14. degree though as I noted other-where some do hold that he had no children by any of his wiues The first of the fore-said seuen common pedigrees containeth fifteene Emperours of Romans Greekes and Germans with eight Kings of diuers Countries as namely Germanie Bauier for anciently it was a Kingdome Hungary Boheme Sicile and England whereof two Kings are therein specified to wit Edward the elder and Henry 2. from whom P. Fredericke is descended by both his daughters to wit Maude the elder married to Henry the Lyon Duke of Saxe and Bauier and Leonora the yonger married to Alphonse the 8. King of Castile Whereby we may see that like as P. Fredericke is descended from the Kings of England so is King Iames likewise descended from diuers of the Germane Emperours especially by the meanes of his most Noble mother and the most Illustrious house of Loraine whence it doth follow that hee is capable of the Imperiall dignity as being of the bloud of Germanie and of the Empire The second common Pedigree containeth fiue Emperours of Constantinople together with seuen Kings of France Hungary Aragon Valence and Sicile The third common Pedigree containeth seuen Kings of England Scotland Ierusalem Castile France Naples and Sicile of which number are Edmond Ironside and Henry the first Kings of England besides King Henry the 2. mentioned in the first Pedigree together with Malcolme Cammore King of Scotland The fourth common Pedigree is from S. Lod●wicke or Lewis the incomparable King of France from whom King Iames and Prince Fredericke on their most Noble mothers side Mary and Lucy-Iuliane are lineally descended in one and the same degree with King Lodowick the 13. of this name being all three in the 12 degree The fifth pedigree containeth foure Emperors and three Kings of Boheme and Poland The sixth pedigree containeth seuen Kings of Arragon Valence France Nauarre England Castile and Leon of which number are Edward the 2. and Edward the 3. Kings of England and Iohn of Gant his sonne Knight of the renowned Order of the Garter Earle of Richmond Darby Leicester and Lincolne Palatine of Chester Great Constable of France and High Steward of England Duke of Aquitane and Lancaster and King of Castile and Leon from whom prince Fredericke and princesse Elizabeth are lineally descended the one by his sonne Iohn Earle of Sommerset Marquis Dorset the other by his daughter Philippa married to Iohn King of Portugale both in the tenth degree which is the eleuenth from King Edward the 3. as the pedigree I haue lately published doth shew The seuenth and last Pedigree common to both the said Princes is from Lodowicke the 5. Duke of Bauier and Emperour and his wife Margaret the Empresse and Countesse of Holland together with King Iohn of France from the which Emperour and Empresse they are both in the 12 degree So that the number of the Emperours contained in the said seuen pedigrees common to both falleth out to be twenty fiue and the number of the Kings of diuers countries therin specified is thirty and aboue and euen so many Kings besides 12. Emperours haue we found in the Princely descent of the Illustrious house of Howards as wee shall God willing shew in another
