Francisco Barrez Bishop of the Algarez Bishoprick he bestowed upon the Father Dennis Des Anges an Augustine Monk and Confessor to His Majesty for the Bishoprick of Guarda was appointed D. Antonio Pobo great Prior of the Military Order of St. James for the Bishoprick of Lamego D. Antonio de Mendosa Commissary of the Bula de la Croisaida for the Bishoprick of Lerida D. Deigo de Souza Inquisitor of the holy Office for that of Conimbra Don Sebastian Casar de Menerez who was before nominated for the Bishoprick of Porto but that was given by his Majesty to D. Pedro de Menerez once named Bishop of Miranda of which last place D. Pedro de Porros Tutor of the Prince D. Theodosio was now named Bishop These choices of his Majesty the Pope after some time Confirmed D. Francisco de Souza who was sent as extraordinary Ambassador notwithstanding the opposition of the Spaniards received not unlikely out of a fear that they would Officiate without his Confirmation and so in a manner Renounce the Power of the See of Rome But in the middest of this setling of Ecclesiastical affairs Arms were not silent for upon the Borders there hapned a Skirmish between the Castillians and Portuguese about the latter end of April One thousand six hundred forty and nine Lord of Themer Court Lieutenant General of the Portuguese Horse and Monsieur Du Quesne the Commissary General gained a Victory over a small Army of the Spaniards defeating Seven hundred of the Spaniards and taking divers Prisoners amongst whom was the Nephew of the Marquess of Melinguen Lieutenant General of the Castillian Army at Badajox who was after exchanged for the Count Fiesque Lauagna who for some years past had been Prisoner in Castille in this Conflict the Portuguese lost but Twenty five men the Chief of which was Sieur de la Touche a French Captain who had behaved himself most Valorously The Commotions of the Perisians against the King of France had given the Spaniard great hopes of better success than they had many years had but the middle of the Year One thousand six hundred and forty nine happily concluding them the news of their Pacification and that of a great Victory gained by the Portuguesses against the Hollanders in Brazile caused a general joy over all Portugal for the King appointed Publick 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 Countrey with Two thousand Horse and Six thousand Foot but the Valiant Count of St. Laurence assaulting him forced him to retire with shame and excuse himself that he marched out only 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 Countreys committed to their Charges than formerly and strictly to give Charge to Don Juan de Menezez Governor of Porto The Viscount Ponte de Lima Governor of the Countreys between Douro and Mimbo to the Count of Arogna Governor of Trasmontes and Don Roderigo de Castro Governor of Beira to repair with all expedition to their several Commands Nor was his Majesty less careful of his Dominions abroad than of those near home which made him dispatch the Baron of Alviro to be Governor of Tanger and D. Francisco de Norogna to Mazagan both strong Forts in Affrica 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 whil'st His Majesty was distributing his Bounties he could not forget the Lady Dona Maria Manuel Widow 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 Widow There was almost daily in-roads 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 surprised 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 succour of the distressed Subjects of the more distressed King of England about the Year One thousand six hundred and fifty 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 One thousand six hundred and forty eight returned to their Allegiance had ever since been pursued by the more Potent 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 Parliament Proclaimed an open War with the Portugal Nation which his Majesty notwithstanding his

for Affrick with an Army of Eighteen thousand men King Sebastian's second expedition into Affrica Mariana in Summario de Hist Hisp. and the assistance of a great number of the Nobility of his Kingdom among which were several Princes and Lords descended from the Royal Family At his arrival Muley Moluc Conestaggio fearing that the event of this War might fall out to his disadvantage offered him ten miles Circuit about every one of his Fortresses of Affrica for Tillage But SEBASTIAN would not hearken to any Composition unless he would yield into his hands the Towns of Tituan Alarache and the Cape of Aghero which the Cherif refused In the mean time the Portuguesses being disswaded from marching by land to lay Siege to Alarache to avoid the iminent danger which the Army would fall into thereby were so ill councelled and so unfortunate as to forsake that by Sea the far more advantagious and of less hazard The Battel of Alcacer The Armies then coming to an engagement the Fourth day of August Thuanus Hist sui temp Years of CHRIST 1578 in the Year One thousand five hundred threescore and eighteen in the Plain of Alcacer King SEBASTIAN's Horse had for sometime the better of the Moorish Cavalry Errera but the grand advantage the Moors had of the Christians in number being ten to one so much prevailed that what they could not perform by their valour Nonius they executed with their number so that the Christians wearied with Conquering were at last wholly defeated Conestaggio The King was first wounded in the right Arm with the shot of a Harquebuze whereof making small account he went ordering things in all parts of the Army But being at that time deprived of the greatest Treasure which young Kings ought to have in so important occasions a person sage and advised to whom he should give ear when he began to see his men break he fell furiously with some Gentlemen that were about him into the Enemies ranks valiantly fighting to give incouragement to the Souldiers Those that saw him wondred at his Courage for although they had kill'd three Horses under him without any whit daunting him yet was he indefatigable in charging striking and relieving all parts of the Army where it was most oppressed But being but a man seconded by few he cannot resist the Enemies fury nor make his Friends partakers of his Valour so that being unhorsed he was taken and disarmed His Death And upon a dispute hapning among the Moors for this royal Prisoner was by them most inhumanely butchered Years of CHRIST 1578 in cold blood Vasconcellius Such was the death of this unfortunate King wherein did rencounter all things that might make it deplorable his youth the expectation of his Virtues the want of Succession the violence of his Death and the prison of his body remaining in the hands of the Moors He was indued with excellent qualities which were of no advantage to him wanting because of his youth that Virtue which ought to govern our Actions Conestaggio For all his designs which carried him to a precipitate end were built upon his Magnanimity Liberality his desire of Military Glory the Disposition of his body and the Vigour of his Courage So that we may well say of this unfortunate young Prince that which was sometimes spoken of Alexander the Great That Nature had given him Virtue and Fortune Vices For to say truly SEBASTIAN had his Virtues from Nature and his Vices from his Education Mariana This Battel was the more remarkable for that the two other Kings Moluc and Mahumed dyed there also the first with the violent access of a natural disease the other was drowned in passing the River of Mucazen to save himself by flight There dyed Three thousand Moors and as many Christians or more among which were many persons of Honour For besides the Captains of the strangers and the Duke of Aueiro there was slain Alphonso of Portugal Count of Vimioso Lewis Coutinho Earl of Rodondo Vasco de Gama Count of Vidiguera Alphonso of Norogna Earl of Mira John Lobo Baron of Alvito Alvara of Mello eldest Son to the Count of Tentugal James brother to the Duke of Braganza John de Silveira eldest Son to the Earl of Sorteglia Christopher of Tauora and many others of account so as some Noble Families were there wholly extinct and Theodosius Duke of Barcellos and Anthony Prior of Crato with many others were taken Prisoners Errera The Body of King SEBASTIAN pierced with seven wounds not being known till two dayes after the fight was brought unto Alcacer and afterwards the King of Spain Uncle to the Defunct by the permission of the Cherif King of Morocco caused it to be conveyed to Septe where it rested until that in the Year One thousand five hundred fourscore and two it was from thence transported into the Kingdom of Portugal and with Magnificent Funeral Pomp performed in the presence of the same King interred in the Monastery of Bethleem Conestaggio with the Kings of Portugal his Ancestors And here I cannot omit to inform you of that Ceremony used by the Portuguesses in bewailing their dead Kings The Ceremony used by the Portuguesses in bewailing their dead Kings Idem and performed by them upon the news of the death of this King SEBASTIAN First there parted from the Magistrates house a Citizen on Hors-back covered himself and his Horse all in Black with a great Ensign in his hand likewise of Black bearing it on his shoulder that it might trail on the ground after him followed three old men on foot in Mourning weeds with three Scutchions in their hands like Shields or Targets bearing them high upon their heads without any figure upon them but all Black Then followed some Citizens of the same Magistrates and other inferiors in great numbers All these went through the principal Streets of Lisbonne and coming to the steps of the Cathedral Church which is near unto the place from whence they parted those which hold the Scutcheons mount up certain degrees and one of them lifting up his Shield cries with a loud voice People of Lisbonne lament your King SEBASTIAN who is dead Then all the people weep and cry Having ended his words he breaks his Scutchion as a vain thing striking it on the place where he stands Then proceed they on and being come to the New Street ascending the Stairs of the little Church of our Lady of Oliuera another of them which carried the Scutchions pronounceth the same words the former had done and breaks his Shield in the same manner The like is done by the third upon the stairs of the Hospital So as all the three Scutchions being broken in those places they all return home and thus is the Ceremony ended The same King was at the time of his death aged Four and twenty years Nonius Seven Months and Fifteen Dayes

After the Duke his Father came to the Crown the Ceremony of his Installation was performed when the Nobles and Grandees took an Oath to receive him for their Natural Prince as Son Heir and Successor to their Lord the King but he lived not to give Portugal a King of his Name deceasing in the life-time of his Father in the Month of June His death 1653.

JANE Infanta OF PORTUGAL came into this World at Villa-viciosa the Eighteenth day of September in the Year of our Lord One thousand six hundred thirty and six She dyed young and was inhumed at Belleil 18. KATHERINE Infanta OF PORTUGAL Queen of GREAT BRITAIN FRANCE and IRELAND only Daughter now living of King John IV. took her first breath at Villa-viciosa upon the Five and twentieth day of November being St. Katharines day in the year of our Redemption One thousand six hundred thirty and eight The Treaties and Articles of this Marriage were concluded in England with the Count Don Francisco de Melo Ambassador for the King of Portugal who departed hence with the Ratification of the said Treaty of Marriage Upon his Arrival I need not acquaint you with what Joy this News affected the King Queen Mother and the whole Court nor their most Solemn Demonstration thereof by discharging of their Cannon making of Bonefires and other Entertainments yet were the People unwilling to think of Parting with this their Pious Princess for whose sake they were wont to say God had given them so Signal and Frequent Victories over their Enemies Not long after by an Express from England from the King to Her the Infanta KATHERINE was Complemented with the stile of Queen of GREAT BRITAIN and then with what possible Speed could be made was expected for England all things being prepared in a readiness for so great a Princess and so long a Voyage Then upon the Thirteenth day of April this present year One thousand six hundred threescore and two She passed with the King Her Brother the Queen-Mother Don Pedro and the whole Court unto the side of the River Tagus through several Triumphal Arches and a sumptuous Gallery built upon that Occasion where Her MAJESTY was received by the Earle of Sandwich who conducted Her on Board a stately Brigandine whence amidst many Tire and Vollies of Cannon and many more farewel Acclamations in the same Princely Company and Equipage Her MAJESTY came aboard the ROYAL CHARLES and was welcomed with the Thunder of the whole Navy In the Evening after a Princely Collation and many passionate parting Expressions a Gun from the Admiral gave the Signal of Her MAJESTIES Resolution to depart when all hands were set on work to weigh Anchor and let flie their Sails The King and Queen-Mother and their Train took their Farewel with hearts equally composed of Grief and Joy and Re-imbarqued for Lisbon returning with the discharge of all the Ordnance and so immediately with a fair leading Gale the whole Fleet began their Course being as they passed out of the River saluted by all the Block-houses Forts and Castles That Night and part of the next Day the Wind stood very propitious but afterwards proved averse and stormy so that they were forced to labour to and fro with contrary Winds it being the Six and twentieth of April when they got into the middle of the Bay of Biscay Her MAJESTY by the continual working and tossing of the Sea having been sick the most part of the Voyage About the Fifth of May with unwearied labour and skill the whole Fleet reached the Islands of Scilly Her Arrival had been every day expected a Fortnight before which caused the King to send down the Duke of York Lord High Admiral to attend Her upon the Coast and to Complement Her MAJESTY in His Name whereupon His Highness hasted to Portsmouth and on the Tenth of May attended by the Duke of Ormond the Earls of Suffolk and Chesterfield the Lord Berkley and other Persons of Quality went aboard the stately YAUGH to Coast about to meet Her MAJESTY On Sunday morning about Ten of the Clock they discovered the ROYAL JAMES but there was so great a Calm they could not reach the ROYAL CHARLES till Six at Evening The Earl of Sandwich having discovered His Highness YAUGH went out in his Barge to meet Him the Royal Banner being all the while vailed till He was aboard when His Highness came into the Ship the Souldiers gave Three several Shouts and all the Guns in the ROYAL CHARLES which from the Queens entrance till that time had been silent proclaimed His Welcome after which the several Ships of the Fleet paid Him their Salutes The Thirteenth of May at night the Royal Fleet came to St. Helens Point the most Eastern Promontory of the Isle of Wight and on Wednesday the Fourteenth of May the Queen landed at Portsmouth about Four of the Clock in the Afternoon where She was received by the Nobility Gentry and multitudes of Londoners as also by the Mayor and Aldermen of that Corporation with all the Expressions of Joy His MAJESTY having received the Express of His Queens landing prepared to be gone forthwith to Salute Her upon Her Arrival But His great Affairs of State and Bills by Him to be Ratified into Acts of Parliament which were not fully ready for His Royal Assent delayed him till Monday the Nineteenth of May having sent before Him the Bishop of London who departed the Seventeenth in order to the Solemnizing of the Marriage when He took Coach from the House of Lords at Nine of the Clock in the Evening with His ordinary Guards and lodged that night at Gilford the next day His MAJESTY posted with the same speed to Portsmouth where He arrived about Noon The Queens indisposition which yet held Her in Her Chamber caused the King to satisfie Himself only with a Visit in private that day Yet it pleased God to restore Her Majesty to such a degree of health that she was soon after able to go abroad to consummate the Marriage-Rites which were there performed upon Wednesday the 21. of May by Gilbert Lord Bishop of London which being concluded His Majesty Bedded His most Princely Lady in His Town of Portsmouth The next Week their Majesties removed to Winchester thence to Farnham and then to Hampton Court where They spent most part of this Summer as well for the Healthfulness as Majesty of the Place Then on Saturday the 23. of August being the Eve of St. Bartholomew a Day
