corps were healed Mafalda was espoused to Henry the first King of Castile although allied to him in a forbidden degree wherefore this marriage was likewise declared void and she emulating her sister built a Monastery of the Cistercian Order and is reported likewise to have done many Miracles particularly in the year 1627. when her Tomb was opened Sancha the third daughter became a Nun of the Order of St. Francis who lived about this time Bianca and Beringella died young and were buried in Conimbria right against their fathers Tombe though some write otherwise After the death of the Queen Aldonsa which happened in the year 1138. King Sancho gave himself over to the love of diverse Ladies amongst whom he had many children who proved most of them his greatest vexation and disquiet for the pleasures of the senses do not terminate but in the sence of grief At last arrived at the age of 57. years in the 26. year of his reign oppressed in Conimbria by an incurable disease he took leave of this world He was buried in the Church of the Holy Cross on the left side of the Altar in the great Chappel where King Emanuel built him a Sepulchre like to that of his father he left infinite riches which by his Will he divided amongst all his children making no difference between the legitimate and the illegitimate he by his Will supplicated Pope Innocentius the fourth to be his Executor for which he left in Legacy a hundred weight of Gold a gift without doubt worth his pains King Sancho was for vertue and for goodness singular in his age a worthy son of so renowned a father he proved fortunate in the utmost events of War and then did his triumphs flow in upon him when he dispaired of Victory he left it yet in doubt whether he were more wise or more valiant he always snowed himself so great an enemy to sloth and idleness that to avoid it he would not disdain sometimes to throw down the Scepter and hold the plow Fortune who was his friend in War was his foe in Peace for then besides the vexation that he could not vex his enemies he was likewise enforced to bear the injuries of the Land Sea and Skies in sum he was a King worthy the greatest Incomiums if he had not too much drowned all his other vertues in illicite Loves ALFONSO the II. Third King of Portugal ALfonsâ— the second succeeded to Sancho the first he was born in Conimbria on St. Georges day anno 1185. At 27. years old he was Crowned King with the envy of his brothers who little younger then he could hardly confine themselves within the bounds of Allegiance and to their discontents did the Legacies left by Sancho give new motives for Alphonso either out of avaritious desire of riches or out of obstinacy detained from them a great part of what was left them by their father These sinister thoughts of the then Prince Alphonso were discerned by his father before his death which made him leave to the brothers beside some Cities and Castles five hundred thousand Crowns in gold But scarce was his father dead but he began to contend with his brothers and sisters about their inheritance and because his brothers were retired into Elginera and Alenquar Fortresses given them by their father he under pretence that they could not be allienated from the Crown gathered together an Army to possess himself of them which he easily performed his brothers wanting money to hire soldiers and so not being able to make the least resistance His brothers thus driven out of the kingdom fled to the Pope for redress then in great veneration because he then pursued no other interest but justice who commanded Alfonso to remit the difference to indifferent Judges who necessitated to obey chose rather to accommodate the business with indifferent Judges then to run the hazard of a sentence He employed himself afterwards by the advice of Matthew Bishop of Lisbone to fight against the Moors and though these came assisted with ninety five thousand men yet were they forced to yield the Victory to him with the loss of thirty thousand soldiers and four Kings who were slain in the battel Alfonso for some years prosecuted this War but in time he grew so extream fat that he was unable to perform not only those great exercises incumbent on a soldier but every simple motion of the body yet for all that he ceased not to apply himself with extream diligence to prosecute the greatest affairs of State and where he could not in person he present to send such commands as shewed him to be both of great experience and wisdom He married with Uracca daughter to Alfonso the eighth or as others say the ninth King of Castile and Leonora or Elinor daughter to Henry the second King of England by her he had divers children the first was Sancho who succeeded his father in the kingdom Alfonso the second son whom by right of his wife was chosen Duke of Bologna and afterwards came to be King of Portugal The third son was called Ferdinand who obtained the principality of Serpa and married Sancia Fernandez daughter of Ferdinand Count of Castile The fourth died a childe called Vincenzo The last was a daughter called Leonora and was married to the King of Dacia Alfonso arrived to the eight and fortieth year of his age and one and twentieth of his kingdom when in the year 1233. he was constrained to pay the last debt to nature He was buried in Alobaccia in a little Church built by himself more for devotion then magnificence But after many years the Abbot Giorgio di Melo causing that little Church to be demolished carried his bones to that of St. Vincenzo where they now repose in a most sumptuous sepulcher Under this King as many affirm lived for certain time St. Antonio Protector of the City of Padona a Saint held in great veneration among the Roman Catholiques he was a native of Lisbon not so much esteemed for the Nobility of his birth as for his holy life Alfonso taking away his extream fatness was a man of a very comely presence and of singular eloquence his nature did make him pleasant with all but onely those of his own blood which fault in him did much diminish his subjects love and that general respect was due to him though he was a man noted for covetousness yet he oftentimes gave great gifts to his friends and always consumed the greatest part of the revenue of the kingdom The Portugueses while his father was alive did extreamly desire him for their King but did not at all now lament his death either because new things always please the people or else because he after his fathers death shewed himself indifferent from himself or from what they thought him whereupon not being wholly like his Progenitors he renewed in his subjects their grief for their loss SANCHO the II.

A COMPENDIOUS CHRONICLE OF THE KINGDOM OF PORTUGAL FROM Alfonso the first King to Alfonso the Sixth now reigning Together with A Cosmographical Description Of the Dominions of PORTVGAL By JOHN DAUNCEY LONDON Printed by Tho. Iohnson for Francis Kirkman Henry Brome and Henry Marsh and are to be sold at their Shops 1661. TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE Sr EDWARD HIDE Earl of Clarendon c. Lord High Chancellor of ENGLAND Right Honorable THe Glories of your Name make me ambitious to give you a testimony of my duty observance There be some whose vain-glory prompts them to think they by Dedications honor their Patrons but the whole world will judge me free from such vanity when they shall perceive I have made my addresses to a Person who besides his height of Nobility is arrived at such a sublimity of Worth Vertue and Learning that not onely the greatest Wits of the Age are bound to honor him but must confess they receive their splendor and lustre from him Yet thus my Lord I make my self guilty of an almost inexcusable presumption the wisest of men may as well present somewhat worthy a Deity as I any thing which may deserve your LORDSHIPS thoughts It is not fit a Pigmy should call down a IOVE to protect him but where there is so much worth there must needs be an insuperable goodness nor can he be justly blamed who onely aspires at the influence of a benevolent Star I want the confidence to beseech your Lordship to approve this VVork the honor will be sufficient if you accept it as a pledge of that observance which all men are bound to pay you I know your Lordship not only to be vers't in all History but to your glory be it spoken to have always studied the most worthy Authors And History is indeed a Treasure not onely enriching mens mindes with noble thoughts but enanimating them to great and Heroick Actions Your Lordships endeavors to make an Alliance between the two Renowned Crowns of England and Portugal may justly claim all that can be said of that Kingdom as a due Offering This though but a Breviate of the Story of it may perchance contain somewhat though not at all worthy your Lordship yet not wholly unworthy observation which I hope may perswade your Generosity and goodness to grantit protection England my Lord and every member of it are beholding to your Lordships great wisdom but should I undertake to praise all those noble Vertues for which you deserve their loves that Justice which ballances all your actions that Prudence which a whole Nation hath admired that Magnanimity which hath rendred you unalterable in all the frowns and smiles of Fortune that Liberality which hath made you King-like and that Temperance which shown in the height of Heavens and Heavens-Vice-gerents favours hath made you God-like I should be enforced to unite the largest Encomiums and lay them down as a due tribute at the feet of your thrice-renowned Fame But my Lord I dare onely reverence your Vertues they must rather be the subject of my admiration than description Let it suffice then that whilst all strive to offer up their labors to this Shrine it will be sufficient excuse of my ambition to present this Mite and amongst the numbers that thus sacrifice to your Worth to be thought worthy of that honorable Stile of being esteemed the meanest of Your Lordships most humble Servants JOHN DAUNCEY TO THE READER CUstom rather than my own Genius or Fancy inclines me to make this address Good things are but made worse by excuses bad things never a whit the better 't is base and dis-ingenious to court a Reader to a good opinion of ones Work and indeed a kinde of an endeavor to anticipate his judgement which to the wise proves a fruitless labor and to the fools was altogether needless I despair not but wise men may read this Book the truth is I desire all fools would let it alone if it be unworthy the subject 't is writ of the disgrace will be less to be censured by an understanding person and the faults I presume fewer for those of less judgement will be subject to attribute even the litteral errors of the ress to the Authors ignorance Though I dare say thus much in Vindication of this COMPENDIOUS CHRONICLE That it is extracted out of those Authors who have been â—udged by many to have writ best concerâ—ing the Kingdom of Portugal yet I will not presume to clear it of all errors Neâ—o nostrum non peccat homines sumus â—on Dei T is impossible to be mortal and not erre yet all lapses cannot be accounted faults Though I doubt not but to meet with those spirits which will make â—hem Crimes for such is the depravity of the present age that many men led on by atheistical Tenents and blinded with self-conceit dare adventure to censure even the Actions of the Deity But I shall run into that error I promised to eschew and though I beg not the Readers good opinion endeavor to restrain or affright his clearer judgement â—et every man say or think his pleasure of the Work for therefore was it made pubâ—ique and if it be my fortune to fall under any rigid censures where they are made with reason I shall entertain them with â—espect where without cause laugh at â—hem with scorn The present Affairs were sufficient motives for me to publish it both to clear the right King Iohn the fourth had to the Crown and Dominions of Portugal and justify that Title which some mens ignorance or self-will would make deficient terming a noble Redemption of a Nations Liberty black and ignominious Rebellion and methinks the joy at the Restoration of King â—ohn to the Crown of Portugal doth so aptly quadrate with our's aâ— the blessed return of our Gracious Soveraign Lord King Charls the Second that I think it not impertinent to conclude with a wish That as our joy then corresponded with theirs so all the Subjects of England would show the same examples of Loyalty to His Majesty which Ferdinando Paceica did even to the memory of his King and Master Sancho the Second J.

publique thanks to be given and Te Deum to be sung in all Churches Hopes to revenge the late defeat given by the Lord Therimicourt and desire to do some valiant act before he departed from his Government made the Marquess of Leganez governour of the Spanish forces at Estramadura give an Alarum to the Portuguese Frontiers and enter into the Country with two thousand horse and 6000 foot but the valiant Count of St. Laurence assaulting him forced him to retire with shame and excuse himself that he marched out onely to meet the Marquess of Mortare who was appointed to succeed him in the Government Yet this small and worthless Alarum made the King of Portugal who knew that too much care could not be had of the safety of his Kingdom to send Orders to the Governors to look more exactly to the countries committed to their charges then formerly and strictly to give charge to Don Iuan de Menezez Governour of Porto The Viscount Ponte de Lima Governour of the countries between Douro and Mimbo to the Count of Arogna Governor of Trasmontes and Don Roderigo de Castro Governour of Beira to repair with all expedition to their several Commands Nor was his Majesty less careful of his dominions abroad then of those neer home which made him dispatch the Baron of Alviro to be Governour of Tanger and D. Franciso De Norogna to Mazagan both strong Forts in Africa the last of which had been neer surprized by the Moors of Barbary but the Commander of that party which assaulted it being slain by a valorous French-man they were beaten off with loss for which service the King bestowed upon the French-man a pension of six hundred Crowns per annum And whilst His Majesty was distributing his bounties he could not forget the Lady Dona Maria Manuel widdow to the some-time before deceased D. Antonio Coello D. Caravallio who had ever since His Majesties coming to the Crown been one of His Privy-Councellors and was one of the chief persons that went Ambassadors into France to renew the Alliance and conclude a firm League between the King of Portugal and Lewis the thirteenth King of France His Majesty therefore in consideration of his services bestowed a valuable pension on his aforesaid widdow There was almost dayly inroads made upon the Frontiers in some places or other amongst the rest the Baron of Themericourt entred with a strong party into the Spanish Territories surprized the Suburbs of the City of Albuquerque and brought away a very rich booty without the loss of so much as one souldier upon the place and not above twenty wounded The succor of the distressed Subjects of the more distressed King of England about the year 1650. gave occasion to the King of Portugal to manifest his affection to the English Nation which he did by giving assistance to the gallant Prince Rupert who being by His Majesty of England made Admiral of those few ships which in the year 1648. returned to their Allegiance had ever since been pursued by the more poâ—ent Fleets of the English Rebels and was now by them driven to seek the protection of his Portugal Majesty who notwithstanding that the Fleet of the Rebels with threatning Bravado's demanded the said Kings leave either to assault them in his port or to force them to come out bravely protected them under his Castles In revenge of which the Rebels of England who stiled themselves a Parliment proclaimed an open War with the Portugal Nation which His Majesty notwithstanding his great engagement at that present both against the Spaniards at home and the Hollanders on the other side the Line resolved to endure rather then deliver up the faithful Subjects of England into the hands of Murther Tyranny and Treason and therefore in part to cry quittance with the English who had taken Prize several Ships belonging to this Nation he made seizure of all the English Ships and goods within his whole dominions but onely those he had before protected But at length Prince Rupert finding a clear passage from out his ports where he had for many months been blocked up the King by reason of his other large expences in defence of his Kingdom finding himself unable to maintain a War against the English and nature dictating us to the preservation of our selves resolved more moved out of necessity then inclination to send an Agent into England to conclude a peace The person deputed to go on this unpleasant imployment viz to court Rebels was D. Suarez de Gimeraines who had for his assistance and interpreter Mr. Myles and English Merchant these two embarqued upon a Hamburger hired for that purpose by the King of Portugal arrived in England in Ianuary 1650. About the beginning of Feburary D. Suarez had audience before a Committee of the pretended Parliament to whom he made a Speech in Latine to this effect THe Serenissimo King of Portugal my Master sends me hither to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England that on his behalf and in his name having first most friendly saluted you as I now do with the greatest affection of my heart that I am able I may joyntly tender and make known to you the Royal desire which my Master feels within himself to conserve and more and more to knit the knot of that Amity which uninterrupted hath ever been between the Serenissimo Kings of Portugals their Ancestors and this renowned English Nation It being my part to endeavor what lies in me to remove all obstacles that may hinder the most vigorous effect of this hearty union and conjunction of minds so to preserve inviolably the ancient peace between us This I come to continue hoping and wishing all happy success therein this I come to intimate and offer unto the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England with that sincere and pristine affection which hitherto the experience of many ages hath made manifest Nor shall you need to scruple the sincerity of my intention and purpose by reason of the divers past attempts not to say fights between your power and ours since they have not been such as have broken or dissolved our amity nor have had their rise or approbation from the King my Master nor as we believe from the Parliament of the Commonwealth of England but more probably carried on either by the impulse of their own private affections or by the defect of that circumspection which in such cases is ever necessary But as I hope particularly and fully to prove indeed to demonstrate this truth unto the Parliament of the Republique of England so I am assured they will not onely rest satisfied therein but shall also have accruing to them a newer force and sence of mutual friendship between us since the jarrs that happen amongst friends are oftentimes justly accounted as certain redintigrations of love And I do admire our enemies have not made this reflection whilst fed with vain hope they have thought it in their power to sow and
