Ancestour of all the English Kings untill this day from whom this Poësie is a continued Pedegree unto his Majesty and his most excellent Sonne c. But it may be objected why I derive not his Title and Genealogie from some of the ancient Monarchs of this Isle Britons or Saxons or at the least from K. William the Conqueror I must answere that to have chosen any of the most ancient Kings I must have looked so farre backe as I should not onely have beene too tedious but also lost my selfe in obscure wayes as they know which know what our ancient Stories bee But as for William the Conquerour there bee many reasons why I should not begin with him although I goe as neare him as his Sonnes Daughter for first he was a Bastard Vide Lib. 5.

Dom. 1603. and yet not that of the blood Royall of England his chiefe Title to the Crowne being but violence and his Sword as he confessed with remorse of conscience at his Death Secondly he was never possessed of one halfe of Britaine for hee had neither Scotland nor Wales and in Ireland not one foote Furthermore Girard Du. Haillan and other French Antiquaries according to their Salike Heraldry say that his line ended in his Sonne King Hen. 1. Philosalicus for all they hold as a Maxime La famille se cotinuè es masles et se finist aux filles and yet Du. Haillan notwithstanding or forgetting this affirmeth in another place that the race of the Kings of England issued out of the house of Aniow viz. from our great Henry and his ancestours continueth untill this day from whom there be many reasons on the other side why I should deduce the Genealogies of our Kings passed K. Henry 2. the greatest King c. and of our present Soveraigne Lord King Charles for this great Henry was not onely rightfull Heire and King of England but also the greatest King of whom there is any credible Story extant which hath beene in this Isle of Britaine since the time of the Roman Emperours who were reputed Lords of all the World which thus I demonstrate briefly He was King of England in the right of his Mother Matilda King Malcolm Knighted this King Henry 2. at 15. yeares of age Neubrig who writeth much in the honour of this K.

This Edmund was Sonne and Heire to King Etheldred who in ancient Charters is written Totius Britanniae Rex quod nota because an Anonymus in a little booke dedicated to King Iames affirmeth that never any Prince was King of this whole Isle untill then but hee is deceived for besides Constantius Chlorus and his Sonne our Country-man Constantine the great Constans Aurelius Ambrosius Vter and others which were Lords of all great Britaine Edgar also the Father of this King Etheldred was absolute Monarch of this Island and so puissant in forces both by Land and Sea as he was surnamed the Great and was styled Totius Albionis Basileus Anglici Orbis Basileus as G. Malmsburiensis Florentius Wigorniensis witnesse Britaria ab adventu Saxonum in insulam appellatur Anglica Ioan. Salisb. in Policratico Whereupon to note also by the way some thinke that the word Anglia was sometimes used for the whole Isle and which Ion Lidgate disertly assevereth in King Arthurs complaint in these words Great Britaine now called England and so likewise doth Geoffry Chaucer in the Franklins tale viz. Ranulfus Higeden in Polichronic in England that Clepid was Britaine and Ranulphus Cestrensis a graver Authour peremptorily affirmeth that King Egbert after his Conquests ordayned and commanded that the Saxons and Iutes should be called Angles and this Britaine should be called England but I leave this to be discussed by Antiquaries And to returne to the ancient Saxon Kings Progenitors of this Henry and also possessors of the whole Isle it is to be shewed for the better confirmation of that which hath beene said against the opinion of the Anonymus in diuers ancient Records and Charters of Donations of these Kings to Monasteries and to Cathedrall Churches Ex archiv is Ciscestrensis
