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

A MONVMENT of Remembrance ERECTED IN ALBION IN HONOR OF THE MAGNIFICENT DEPARTVRE FROM BRITANNIE and honorable receiuing in GERMANY namely at HEIDELBERGE of the two most Noble Princes FREDERICKE First Prince of the Imperiall bloud sprung from glorious Charlemaigne Count Palatine of Rhine Duke of Bauier Elector and Arch-sewer of the holy Romane Empire and Knight of the Renowned order of the GARTER ELIZABETH INFANTA of ALBION Princesse PALATINE and Dutchesse of BAVIER the onely Daughter of our most gratious and Soueraigne Lord CHARLES-IAMES and of his most Noble and vertuous Wife Queene ANNE Both of them being almost in one and the same degree of lineall descent from 25 Emperours of the East and West of Romanes Greekes and Germans and from 30 Kings of diuers countries By IAMES MAXVVEL LONDON Printed by Nicholas Okes for Henry Bell and are to be sold at his shop within Bishops-gate 1613. A Summary view of the Historicall Points and Poeticall Conceits occurring in this present Monument 1 THAT Prince Fredericke is in one and the same degree of descent with our most gracious Soueraigne IAMES the Concorder from 20 Emperours of Romans Greekes and Germanes and from 24 Kings of diuers countries 2 That Prince Fredericke is in one and the same degree of descent with our most noble Queene ANNE from foure Emperours and three Kings 3 That Prince Fredericke is in one the same degree of descent with Princesse ELIZABETH his spouse from one Emperour and eight Kings of diuers countries besides the former 4 That Prince Fredericke is descended from Edward the Elder Edmund Ironside Henry the 1. and 2. and Edward the 3. Kings of England and likewise from Malcolme Cammore King of Scotland 5 That Prince Charles Prince Fredericke brothers in Law are collinially descended from two borne brothers to wit Fredericke Prince Palatine being the elder from Henry Prince Palatine and Duke of Saxe who was likewise the elder of the said two brothers and Prince Charles Duke of Yorke being the yonger from the yonger brother Otho once Earle of Yorke and Emperour 6 That the Pope did presumptuously and wickedly abuse Otho Earle of Yorke and Emperour 7 That there haue been as yet but onely two Emperours of the Palatine family the one a yonger brother named Lodowicke Duke of Bauiere the other an elder brother named Robert Count Palatine and that from both of them and their Empresses Margaret and Elizabeth Prince Fredericke and Princesse Elizabeth are lineally descended 8 That the said two Emperours chosen of the Palatine Family haue had an exceeding different Fortune in their acceptance towards the Pope the one being highly hated of three euill Auinion-Popes the other as highly beloued of one good Rome-Pope 9 That the Palatine Princes haue beene very officious at all times to the Kings of England and their children namely in electing some of them to be Emperours hoping that they shall yet hereafter proue more officious and forward in the same kinde then euer they haue done before 10 That our most gratious Soueraigne by the meanes of the most Illustrious house of Lorraine is lineally descended as from diuers of the German Emperours so from one who was both Prince Palatine and Emperour named Robert the Noble and consequently that being both of the Germane and Imperiall bloud that he is capable of the Imperiall dignity 11 That Albions Island though it be her fortune to bee deflowred of two flowres in one yeare a Lilly and a Rose yet must she not be altogether discouraged so long as there remaineth a Lilly-Rose behind 12 That there haue beene diuers matchings of the daughters of this Island with forraigne Princes namely of Germany France and Spaine and the cause why they haue beene all issulesse and fruitlesse 13 That there haue beene three diuers Vnion-endeauours of three Maries of three diuers countries English French and Scottish and that the third Mary was shee who with Mary in the Gospell did choose the better part 14 That of this late Alliance is to bee expected an Vnion of Northerne Princes long agoe fore-told as shall bee shewed in our Sibylla Britannica whereby the Turke must bee totally ouer-throwne and that as some haue thought neere the Riuer of Rhine 15 That among all the Prophesies or Predictions that doe promise any glorious exploit to be brought to passe by any Prince not as yet fulfilled that is the most notable which hath beene vttered concerning a Prince of the name of Charles with the Authors ardent wish for Prince Charles which is more fully expressed is a Poëme vpon his hopefull Natiuity 16 That peerelesse Prince Henry seemeth to inuite and adiure all the Worthies of Britannie by their most ardent loue towards him dead and aliue to glorifie the day of his deere sisters departure for Germany that her day may bee as celebrious as euer Gonilda's was and more 17 That Iasons Sydereall ship which once fetcht from Colchos to Greece the Golden Fleece looketh as if she did desire to descend from her starry Hauen into our Thames thence to transport the Golden Fleece of IAMES 18 That Castor and Pollux those two louing Twinnes borne in Aprill to banish Pyracie doe looke downe from their starry Tabernacle as if they meaned to grace and guard ELIZA'S Argo named Prince-Henry till she be safely arriued at the Shore of Germany 19 That Astraea or the Coelestiall Virgine vnder whose signe ELIZA was borne and likewise Prince FREDERICKE and who hath beene so liberall of her best influences in her Gracefull behalfe as may appeare more amply by our Poëme made vpon her Natiuity commands two of her greatest lights to attend Eliza to her ship and to light her so many nights as she shall chance to stay vpon the sea 20 That Aeolus Neptunus Tethys and Doris with the rest of the Marinall powers endeauour each of them to doe Eliza some good office the one perfuming the aire with Muskie-breath for her sake the others calming and sweetning the Seas for her sake 21 That the louing Dolphins desire to flocke about Eliza's Argo with many demonstrations of greatest ioy both for her owne sake and for her Grandames sake who was once a Dolphins deerest deere with Historicall examples of their rescuing of many persons from Sea-danger 22 That Rhine begins to reuell for ioy of Elizaes arviuall and the admirable nature thereof in discerning of such barnes as haue beene gotten with false play 23 That Cybele the mother of the Gods that is of Kings because she was the first Queene-mother in the world together with Flora Queene of May are both of them busied in contriuing of Aprill-carpets and May-coronets and Flowry-pearly-canopies in honour of Eliza the one to lay along vnder her feet the other to hang and beare aboue her head at her entrie to Heidelberge 24 That the syluane Pan together with the daintie Nymph Deiope are both gone to Palestine to fetch a Marriage-maypole for our Palatine-paire of two louing Palme-trees and of the

daughter of Prince Edward sur-named the Out-law son of King Edmond Ironside who being married to Malcolme Cammore King of Scotland brought to King Iames the first right of succession to this Crowne secondly Elizabeth of the house of Yorke daughter to King Edward the 4. married to King Henry the 7. of the house of Lancaster Thirdly Margaret their eldest daughter borne in the blessed white-red Vnion-bed of the two Roses who being married to Iames the fourth king of Scotland brought the second right of succession to our most gracious King Iames the happy Vniter of the two Kingdomes To these three Ladies of Britanny wee may adde other these of Germany bearing the same names from the which King Iames and his hopefull children namely Prince Fredericke are collineally descended and they are these first Margaret Countesse of Holland Dutchesse of Bauier and Empresse wife to Lodowicke the 5. Duke of Bauier and Emperour secondly Elizabeth Princesse Palatine Empresse wife to Robert Prince Palatine and Emperour thirdly Margaret Dutchesse of Lorraine their daughter And it is my ardent wish that the fore-said two Germane Margarets and Elizabeth may proue as lucky to King Iames and his hopefull children for their Imperiall preferment in Germany as the two English Margarets and Elizabeth haue done for his Royall preferment in Britanny And the three Ladies of the same names which brought good fortune and preferment to the house of Howard were these first Margaret Plantagenet Dutchesse of Norfolke the onely daughter and heire of Thomas Plantagenet Earle of Norfolke son to King Edward the 1 secondly Elizabeth Lady Segraue the daughter and heire of the said Lady-Dutchesse Margaret of Iohn Lord Segrane thirdly Margaret Mowbray daughter of the said Lady Elizabeth and of Iohn Lord Mowbray maried to Sir Robert Howard Knight the father and mother of Iohn Lord Howard Duke of Norfolke So that as a Robert was the first Royall Progenitor of the Royall Stewards King Robert the Bruce surnamed the Noble being the Grand-father of Robert the first King of the Stewards and as a Robert Prince Palatine and Emperour likewise sur-named the Noble is he from whom King Iames and Prince Frederick are descended both in the 9. degree as our late published Pedigree doth show so was a Noble Robert the first Progenitor of the Dukes of Norfolke of the honoured name of Howard vnto whose worthy Patronage wee thought good for the reasons afore-said and others wee might mention to commend our Essayes in Latine and English whereof these Presents are but a scantling vndertaken by vs in honour of a number of most Noble Princes And thus Courteous Reader crauing thy fauourable construction of these our endeuours wee hauing no other intent but onely thereby to do honour in a schollar-like kind to such as are worthy of honour we bid thee hartely fare-well ALBIONS Remembrance of FREDERICKE and ELIZABETH 1 SITH Norths bright Nymph and Albions Rosie The sweetest meekest of the Lady-kind Must bound from vs to build her Summers bowre Flowre At Heidelberge now in this flowry time And that for Rhine she must abandon Thames For Germany leauing the land of IAMES 2 And sith Her presence sweete we must no more Injoy alas which was the ioy of hearts To all Her sex as HENRIES was before To those of His men women of all parts Which came to Court to veiw the worth and State Which their did shine through Him and Her of late 3 Sith that I say now Hymen doth her call From th'Ile of IEMMES to dwell in Germaines ground So that her face no more hence see wee shall Her face the grace of Country Court and Towne What rests but that we wish her asmuch ioy As by her absence we must reape annoy 4 For like as did deere Henry by his death Make men to mourne but mirth to Angels bring So the departure of Elizabeth Make Britans sigh but Germaines for to sing Thus in one yeare we drinke of double woes By loosing first our Lilly then our Rose 5 Which double losse might well our Iland drowne In sorrowes sea except there did remaine A Lilly-Rose with ioy our land to crowne To salue the sorrowes which wee do sustaine Henry Eliza both their flowers bequeath To make for Charles a Lilly-rosie wreath 6 Castor and Pollux of all brothers that haue bene were the most louingst as Aratus Apollodorus Hyginus do write euen so louing that the one would needs halue with the other his immortall State Plutarch doth likewise tell how that Cleomenes of Lacedemonia did loue his brother Enclides so deerely that he made him his coequall in the Kingdome and in our time or memory there was neuer one that loued his brother more deerely then our peerelesse Prince Henry did his brother Duke Charles For like as Pollux to his brother deere Castor by name his glory did impart Haluing with him his owne Immortall Sphere So much had Castor of Prince Pollux heart Euen so would Henry halue his Princely State That his lou'd Charles might it participate 7 Me thinkes I see sweete HENRY with his hand Plucking the choisest flowers of Paradise One day to decke this twise defloured Land With Syons store to make it happy thrise Euen now he makes a Garland for the day That CHARLES shall beare Constantixes crowne away 8 Likewise Eliza goes to breed and bring Forth to the light sonnes of a noble kinde Whose worth one day shall make vs Britans sing When they with CHARLES vnanimely combin'd * This shall be shewed in our Sybilla Britannica containing Prophesies in siue sundry Languages which seeme to promise no lesse As is fore-rold in spight of Turkish might Shall once regaine great Constantine his right 9 Gonilda the faire daughter of Canute the Danish King of England married to Henry the 3.

Emperour and was crowned Empresse at Mentz on Saint Iames his day in the yeere 1114. being of the age as said is of 5. who after the decease of her husband dying without issue annó 1116. returned to her father King Henry bringing with her the Imperiall Crowne and Saint Iames his hand in honour whereof hee founded the Abbey and Church of S. Mary in Reading as William of Malmsbury William of Gemite Roger Houedon and Thomas Walsingham doe write The which deed of this North-South descended Lady for her father was King of England and her mother another renowned Mathildis was a daughter of Scotland borne of S. Margaret and King Malcolme me thinkes did beare this good signification that once a Iames and he the son of a Matchlesse Mary both of them hauing in their persons vnited the Royall blouds of both Countries should euen at the feast of the Annunciation of the glorious Virgin MARY enter to the vniting of these Kingdomes and that he should at the Feast of Saint Iames receiue the Imperiall Crowne of the same vnited Kingdomes on his happy head Whereof there is more to be read in our Poem that sheweth both by Theology Astrology the auspiciousnesse of his Maiesties entry to this Crowne for whereas there haue bene three diuers designes attempted before at three diuers times to vnite this Iland with three diuers Nations Germany France Spaine by the meanes of the Marriages of three Queene-heires Maud and the two Maries it was the great Vnion-Makers will to make the fore-said three Matches all fruitlesse to the end that it might be first fully and perfitely vnited with and in it owne selfe before any other such Vnion with any forraine Nation should be made as by those three marriages was intended and expected and when I compare the designes deeds of the three Maries together first of Mary of England by her Mariage with King Phillip labouring to vnite this Iland in whole or in part with Spaine next of Mary of Lorvaine by the Mariage of her yong daughter Mary of Scotland with Francis the Dolphin to deuouring to vnite it with France and lastly of the same Mary of Scotland by her second Marriage with her deerest cousen Henry Lord Darly Earle of Rosse and Duke of Albuny great-grand-child of King Henry the 7. intending to vnite this Iland with it selfe in her happy Issue when as I compare together I say the fore-said three diuers designes and endeuours of the fore-said three Maries I am constrained to giue out this verdite and censure concerning the same that the first two Maries were with Martha in the Gospell combred about many things but that the third Mary with Mary in the same Gospell had chosen the better part which was not to be taken from her The other Mathildis or Maude married into Germany was the daughter of King Henry the second wedded to Henry surnamed the Lyon Duke of Bauier and Saxe and bare him diuers children namely Henry Duke of Saxe c. and Prince Palatine in right of his wife Agnes heire of the Palatinate by meanes whereof Prince Fredricke is descended from the said King Henry the 2. in the 17. degree Another of their said children was Otho Lord of Brunswicke and Earle of Yorke created by his vnckle King Richard sur-named Lyons-heart who also was chosen Emperour afterwards and from him Prince Charles Duke of Yorke is both on his fathers and his mothers side descended in the 13. and 14 degrees though some haue written that he left no Issue by any of his wiues He is much wronged by Historians for that he was an enemy to the Popes vsurped super-Imperiall power and his Temporall vsurpations for when as hee did feast Pope Innocent the 3. in Rome being then his friend it chanced that hee made a motion to haue some things restored to the Empire which the Pope did possesse where-with he was so highly offended that he presumptuously took vp a sword to haue stricken the Emperor and afterwards did both Excommunicate him and pronounce the sentence of deposition against him whom before hee had aduanced to that dignity reade Vrspergensis Cuspinianus Carion Pedro de Mexia and others Heauens her vouch safe both the Mathilda's fate Two Henries girles both of South-britanny Betroth'd to Henries two of greatest state They Germaines both that Britanes once may see When with the first Mathilde Eliza shall Weare on her head the wreath Imperiall 13 And as the next Mathilda oft was seene To blesse her Spouse with plenteous Progeny Both with a Caesar and a Palatine To rule in Brunswicke Rhine and Saxony So may Eliza with Mathilda beare Vnto her Spouse a Caesar and a Peere 14 Iagello great Duke of Lithuany married Hedwigis heire of Poland daughter of Lodowick King of Hungary And like as once the braue Hungarian Heire Elizabeth did crowne her Casimire Great Polands King when as shee to him bare Sixe sonnes besides as many daughters deere So may to our Elizabeth befull Like fruitefull fate to crowne her Spouse withall 15 Poland on S.
