shall bring great terror and tribulation to the Mahumetane Turkes Lastly the most glorious Prophesie that I find of any Prince is of a Prince of the name of Charles the which Carion in his Chronicle hath applyed to Charles the fifth King of Spaine and Emperour but truely that most worthy valorous and victorious Prince hath left the accomplishment thereof to some other Charles then himselfe as the tenure of the prediction conferred with his deedes howsoeuer glorious may testifie and it hath bene alwaies my most ardent wish euer since I began to be some-what curious in this kind that that Prophesie alledged by Carion out of the old Chronicles of Magdeburg might haue one day his full accomplishment in the person of Prince Charles and that as he doth Symbolize with Castriote alias Scanderbeg in the common stile of Prince or Duke of Albany so may hee like-wise with him in his Prowesse against the Turkes and in his Titles of Christs Champion and the terrour of Turkes Whereof who will may read more in our Poem made vpon Prince Charles his Natiuity No lesse is promis'd by old Prophesies Which wee haue seene in Latine Greeke and French With other tongues which promise victories To Northerne hands how they combin'd shall drench Constantinople in a foaming floud Which shall be made of spilt Barbarian bloud 76 O happy sight to see Prince Charles one day Together with the States of Germany Against proud Turkes his Banner to display That as he 's nam'd the Duke of Albany So men may him a Scanderbeg enstile Th' horrour of Turkes the Hercles of this I le 77 CHRIST IESVS name sweete Charles of Britanny With Scanderbeg thy Champion and thy Knight Adde vnto his one Northerne Albany Sixe Albanies choose him thy fields to fight ' Gainst Mahomet and grant him for his hire Constantines Towne with the proud Turkes Empire 78 That our Myrsina may her Brother Crowne With Palmy-wreath in signe of victory And like Debora sing his high renowne Thanking great loue for the felicity It pleas'd him to her brother Charles to giue In whose sweete face lou'd Henry still doth liue 79 The Maids and Matrons shall with cheerefull voyce Extoll Myrsina and her honour raise Vp to the skies both aged men and boies Shall hop and danse and loud resound her praise Agnising her to be the sweetest Wight That euer lodg'd in Heidelberge all night 80 Three Emperours 3 daughters of the name of Mathilde or Maud haue ben married to three Palatine Princes the first Mathildis was the daughter of Otho the second Duke of Saxe and Emperour married to Siffrid Prince Palatine the second was the daughter of Rodulph the first Earle of Habspurg and Emperour married to Prince Lodowicke surnamed the Seuere the third Mathildis was the daughter of Adolph Earle of Nassaw and Emperour married to Rodolph Prince Palatine And as for Kings daughters that haue bene married to the Palatines we reade in Henninges Dauid Rorarius and Marquardus Freherus how that Blanch the eldest daughter of Henry the fourth King of England was the first wife of Lodowicke the fourth Prince Palatine sonne to Robert the Emperour who as Fabian and Cooper in their Chronicles doe write came heere into England Anno 1403 and was receiued of the said King Henry with great Triumph Our English Writers though they agree that the said Lady Blanch was married about this time to a Duke of Bauier and hee the Emperours sonne yet they make no particular mention of any such Match as the aboue named Germaines do auouch but rather otherwise Ranulph of Chester Walsingham Fabian and Stow doe not expresse the Dukes name that married her Polydorus erroniously calleth him Iohn sonne to the Duke of Bauier Hal and Hollinshed name him William Duke of Bauier sonne to Lewis the Emperour but this could not be for both English and Dutch Historians and Genelogicians write that the said Duke William married Maud daughter to Henry Duke of Lancaster whose other daughter Blanch married Iohn of Gant Earle of Richmond and in her right Duke of Lancaster and that she suruiued her husband foure yeares and that he died Anno 1377. some 25. yeares before the marriage of Blanch the eldest daughter of Henry the fourth who according to the truth was married to Lodowicke Duke of Bauier the sonne of Robert Prince Palatine and Emperour who had bene chosen but a short space before by the Electors and came heere into England as is said aboue And as for the rest of the Kings daughters mentioned in the Poem Ludomille of Boheme was the daughter of Primislay the 2. King of Boheme and of Constance his wife the daughter of Bela the third King of Hungary shee was married to Lodowick the father of Otho the Illustrious Prince Palatine and Duke of Bauiere Beatrice of Sicilie wife to Robert the second Prince Palatine was the daughter of Fredericke King of Sicilie according to Cuspinianus Carion Rheusnerus Marquardus and Brunnius as for Munsterus he doth not expresse his propper name but Henninges and Albizius make her the daughter of King Peter Dorothie of Denmarke the wife of Fredericke the second Prince Palatine was the daughter of Christiern the second King of Denmarke Elizabeth of Hungary was wife to Heary Duke of Bauier the yonger brother of Lodowicke called the Seuere Prince Palatine and Daughter and Heire of Bela the fourth King of Hungary Lastly Anne of Polony was the daughter of Conrade Prince of Poland and one of the three wiues of the fore-said Lodowicke the Seuere so called for that out of an vndiscreete humor of iealously hee practised a filthy cruelty vpon his wife Mary of Brabant in causing her head to bee cut off for that shee had written a letter to a Captaine of his owne named Henry Rucco which came into his hands for the which abhominable fact hee was so terrified with an horrible vision by night that his head became before the next morning as white as wooll so that hee repenting him of his iealousy and cruelty founded the Monastery of Furstenfield and endowed the same with rich possessions as Cuspinianus and Henninges do write Thus wee see how that it fared much more hardly with this good Lady Mary of Brabant then it did with Cunegunde the sister of Henry Prince Palatine maried to Henry the second Emperour who got leaue to purge her selfe of the like false suspition by going bare-foote as she did without hurt vpon a number of Plough-shares red hot as the same Cuspinianus with Vrspergensis doe write And in William of Malmesbury and Ranulph of Chester wee reade how that Queene Emme mother to King Edward the Confessor being accused of adultery with Edwin Bishop of Winchester purged her selfe in the same manner Semblably wee reade in Cuspinianus Paulus Emylius and Francis de Belle-forest how that Charles the Grosse King of France and Emperour accused his wife Richarda a daughter of Scotland of playing false play with Luitwald Bishop of Vercelle in

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

Emperours and 30. Kings of diuers Countries I resolued with my selfe to commend the same to the honourable Patronage of the Illustrious house of Howard for these reasons following First because of the singular excellencie of this name in whose extraction no fewer then 12. Emperours and 30. Kings of diuers Countries are contained whereof most part are the same Emperours and Kings which do occurre in the extraction common to the aboue-named two most Noble Princes as shall bee shewed God-willing in our Latine worke and truely it must needs be a thing that doth much illustrate and commend the exceellencie and honour of our King and Country to haue such Subiects as this worthy house doth yeeld being so Nobilitated by the meanes both of their Princely descent and of their publicke deserts as they are Secondly because of a certaine kind of honourable and notable similitude and affinity that the Noble name of Howard hath with the Royall name of Steward for both names do signifie in the old Saxon tongue as much as the Warden or Gouernour of a a Place Fort or Castle both being at the first imposed by reason of the charge preferment and place the two first persones that were so named did beare in the Common-wealth So that these two Sur-names may truely say that which many other Sur-names cannot say which is that the first two Wights that euer bare the names of Steward and Howard as they were both borne in South-britanny so were they both men of quality reputation and rancke and euen such as wee commonly name Gentlemen and Noblemen Moreouer as both names giue the Lyon Rampant though different in coulour for their badge or Armes so both can fetch their Pedigree from diuers of the same Emperours and Kings of diuers Countries and namely from Kings of England and Scotland Likewise both names haue beene matched with the Royall bloud of England for as Margaret a daughter of England was married to a Royall Steward of Scotland King Iames the 4. in the which businesse a Noble Howard had an especiall employment so Katherine a daughter of the house of Howard was married to a King of England Henry the 8. Besides that famous Queene Elizabeth was descended from this Illustrious house on her mothers side the Lady Anne Bolen whose mother was the Lady Elizabeth Howard Countesse of Wilshire and Ormond daughter to Thomas the first of this name Duke of Norfolke As also the foresaid two Names haue had the fortune to seeke and aime at a three-fold matrimoniall Vnion one with another The first attempt and designe of marriage but hindered was betweene a Royall Steward euen a matchlesse Queene Mary and a Princely Howard Thomas the third of this name Duke of Norfolke brother to Henry Earle of Northhampton Lord Priuy-seale father to Thomas Earle of Suffolke Lord Chamberlaine Grand-father to Thomas Earle of Arundell the sonne of Earle Phillip The second attempt or designe of marriage was betweene the sonne and daughter of the fore-said two Princes to wit betweene Charles-Iames ●…ward Prince of Scotland and the Lady Margaret Howard which was likewise hindred with the former The third designe onely tooke effect by the vniting-meanes of our Concording-King the Maker of the marriage betweene Charles Howard Earle of Nottingham Lord Admirall and the Lady Margaret Steward daughter of Iames Earle of Murrey Thirdly it hath bene the common fortune of both these names to reape much good lucke and preferment either of them by the meanes of three Ladies being both of the same Country and of the same names to wit either of them by two Margarets and one Elizabeth The three English Ladies which brought good fortune to the Royall name of Steward were these first Margaret the
