In this yeare was Iames kyng of Scottes murthered by certaine traitours of his own subiectes The Lord Talbot besieged Tankerville and after four moneths had it simply to him rēdred This towne was no

reward than for feare of enimies sold the Towne to the French King and had of him great gifts and good cheere as afterwards was opēly knowen This Towne had bin rescued or the Frenche King fought withall if one chance had not happened for the Duke of Yorke about that tyme was discharged of his office The Earle of Warw◅k made Regent of Fraunce and the Earle of Warwike preferred to the same so that the duke of Yorke lying as then at Roan woulde haue gladly rescued the Towne if his authoritie had not surceassed the Erle of Warwike could not come in time for y e wind was contrarie to him This

much marueyling at hir constancie as hee that had not beene woont else where to be so stiffely sayde nay so much esteemed hir continencie and chastitie that he set hir vertue in the stead of possession and ryches and thus taking counsaile of his desire determined in all possible hast to mary hir And after hee was thus appoynted and had betwene them twaine ensured hir then asked he counsaile of his other friendes and that in suche maner as they might then perceiue it booted not greatly to say nay The Kinges Mother Notwithstanding the Duches of Yorke his mother was so sore moued therwith that she disswaded the mariage asmuch as she possible might alledging y t it was his honour profite and suretie also to marie in a noble progeney out of his realme wherevpon depended greate strength to his estate by the affinitie and greate posibilitie of encrease of his possession And that he coulde not well otherwise doe standing that the Earle of Warwike had so farre moued alreadie which were not likely to take it well if all his voyage were in such wise frustrate and his appoyntments deluded And she sayde also that it was not Princely to marie his owne subiect no great occasion leading therevnto no possessions or other commodities depending therevpon but onely as it were a riche man that would marie his mayd only for a little wanton dotage vppon hir person In which mariage many mo coÌ„mend the maidens fortune than the masters wisdome And yet therein she saide was more honestie than honor in this mariage Forasmuch as there is betwene no marchant and his own mayd so great difference as betwene the king and this widow In whose person albeit there was nothing to be mislyked yet was there she sayd nothing so excelleÌ„t but that it might be found in diuerse other that were more meetly quoth she for your estate and maydens also whereas the only wydowheade of Elizabeth Gray though shee were in all other things conuenient for you should yet suffice as me seemeth to refrayne you from hir mariage sithe it is an vnsitting thing a verie blemish and highe disparagement to the sacred maiestie of a Prince that ought as nigh to approche priesthoode in cleannesse as he doth in dignitie to bee defouled with Bigamie in hys first mariage The Kinges Answere to his mother The king when his mother had sayde made hir answere part in earnest part in play merily as he that wyst himselfe out of hir rule And albeit hee woulde gladly that she should take it well yet was at a poynt in his owne minde tooke shee it well or otherwise Howbeit somewhat to satisfie hir he sayde that albeit maryage beeyng a spirituall thing ought rather to bee made for the respect of God where his grace enclineth the parties to loue togither as he trusted it was in hys than for the regarde of any temporall aduauntage yet naythelesse him seemed that this mariage euen worldly considered was not 〈◊〉 â—…table For he reckened y e amity of no earthly â—…tion so necessarie for him as the friendship of his owne whiche he thought likely to beateâ—… 〈…〉 much the more haetie fauour in that he disâ—…ned not to mariâ—… with one of his owne lande And yet if outwarde alliance ware thought to requisite he woulde finde the meanes to â—…nteâ—… therevnto much better by other of his kinde where all the partyes could be contented then to mary himself whom he should happely neuer loue and for the possibilitie of more possessions lease the fruite and pleasure of this that hee had alreadie For small pleasure taketh a man of all that euer he hath beside if he be wined agaynst his appetite And I doubt not quoth he but there be as yee say other that be in euery poynt comparable with hir And therefore I let not them that like them to wedde them No more is it reason that it mistyke any man that I mary whereit lyketh me And I am sure that my cousin of Warwike neither loueth me so litle to grudge at that I loue nor is to vnreasonable to looke that I shoulde in choyse of a wife rather be ruled by his rie than by mine own as though I were a warde that were bounde to marie by the appoyntment of a Gardaine I woulde not bee a King wyth that condition to forbeare mine owne libertie in choyse of myne owne maryage As for possibilitie of more inheritaunce by newe affinitie in straunge lands is oft the occasion of more trouble than profite And we haue alredie tytle by that meanes to so much as sufficeth to get and keepe well in one mannes dayes That she is a Widow and hath already childreÌ„ by Gods blessed Ladie I am a Bacheler and haue some to and so eche of vs hath a proufe that neither of vs is like to bee barraine And therefore Madame I pray you bee content I trust in God she shall bring forth a yong Prince that shall please you And as for y e Bygamye let the Bishoppe hardly lay it in my way when I come to take orders For I vnderstande it is forbidden a Priest but I neuer wyst it yet that it was forbidden a Prince The Duches with these wordes nothing appeased and seeing the King so set thereon that shee coulde not pull him backe so highly she disdeyned it that vnder pretext of hir duetie to godwarde she deuised to disturbe this mariage and rather to helpe that hee shoulde marie one dame Elizabeth Lucie whome the King had also not long before gotten with child Wherfore y e kings mother openly obiected agaynst his maryage as it were in discharge of hir conscience that the Kyng was sure to Dame Elizabeth Lucy and hir husband before God Elizabeth Lucy By reason of which wordes such obstacle was made in the matter that eyther the Bishops durst not or the King woulde not proceede to the solemnization of this wedding till these same were clearly purged and the troth well and openly testified Wherevpon dame Elizabeth Lucy was sent for And albeit that she was by the kings mother and many other put in good comfort to affirme that shee was ensured vnto the king yet when shee was solemnly sworne to say the troth shee confessed that they were neuer ensured Howbeit shee sayde his grace spake so louing wordes vnto hir that she verily hoped hee woulde haue maryed hir And that if it had not beene for such kinde wordes shee woulde neuer haue shewed suche kindnesse to him to let him so kindly get hir with childe This examination solemnly taken when it was clearly perceyued that there was none impediment The kinges marriage the king with great
