places where he passed the people shewed themselues so ioyfull as the like thereof was neuer seene before at thelection or receiuing of any of the saide former Kings When he came to the Cathedrall Church he was there receiued with great honour and reuerence by all the Cleargie with the celebration of all ceremonies thereunto by custome appertaining and from thence was conduced to the Regall Pallace The next day the gouernours magistrates with the most noble and principal men of the citie together with the three estats of the realme caused the royall standard to be caried before them through all the principall streets of the citie crying aloud God saue king Anthonie grant him long life In thend they came all to the said Pallace where they swore him for King binding themselues to him by otheâ— whereof likewise publique actes were made Don Anthonio making protestation thereupon in the like sort that he had made at Santaren when hee was there chosen and sworne for king whereof also a publique act was made and enrolled as abouesaid Now when it came to the knowledge of the gouernours of the Realme then remaining at Setuball that Don Anthonio was chosen King the greater part of them withdrew themselues into Castile to wit Iohn Masquerennas Frauncis de Sa and Diego Lopez de Sosa thother two namely tharchbishop of Lisbone and John Tello de Meneses came within three myles of Lisbone and sent to King Anthonie beseeching him to voutchsafe to receaue them into his fauour which they easely obtained at his hands sith the one of them namely John Tello de Meneses had alwayes shewed himselfe to beare a good affection to the common wealth and tharchbishop had alwayes shewed himselfe a neutre where contrariwise thother three which were fled into Castile being wonne and corrupted by the king of Castile with giftes and promises had alwayes openly mainteined his quarrell and yet in thende did pennance for their horrible treason For shortly after they dyed al for very griefe and melancholy that they had sold their countrey and could obtaine little or nothing of all that had bene promised vnto them on the behalfe of the king of Castile by his ambassadors Within certaine dayes after king Anthonie departed from the citie of Lisbon to Setuball where still remained the deputies of the townes with the high Chauncelour the principall Counsellours of the realme and many of the nobilitie By whome he was likewise created and sworne King with all solemnities thereunto conuenient Where the third time he made the like protestation that he had made afore in Santaren sending two of the said deputies from thence to the king of Castile with commission to declare vnto him that if he would desist from force of armes and submit his cause to the determination of the Iudges thereunto authorised that then he would doe the like and lay downe the name and dignitie of king And hauing first giuen order for the defence of a towne called Monte Maior which was in daunger to be besieged by the duke of Alua he returned from thence to the citie of Lisbon In the meane while the king of Castile howe much the more he was moued by Don Anthonio and others to commit his cause to be determined by way of iustice so much the more he endeuoured to get the kingdome by force making great offers notwithstanding to Don Anthonio in consideration that he shoulde yeeld vp the royal name and renounce his action to the kingdom But neuerthelesse Don Anthonio seeking the libertie of his countrey more then his owne benefit would neuer yeelde to accept any condicions howe great soeuer they were Now when Don Anthonio was come backe to Lisbon hee dispatched letters immediatly to all cities and townes of the kingdoÌ„ and to the townes and castles of Aphrica and thylandes and firme lande subiect to the crowne of Portugall certifying them how he was chosen and sworne king and therefore required them all from thenceforward to take knowledge him for their king the like also was written to all the said townes Castles Islandes and firme land by the said gouernours and magistrates of the citie of Lisbon Immediatly vpon the deliuerie of these letters Don Anthonio was in all places acknowledged and proclaimed king in all solemnitie and that so greatly to the ioy and contentation of all thinhabitantes as is scant possible to bee beleeued In the meane space king Don Anthonio ceased not to prouide as farre as laye in his power for the defence of the saide Citye of Lisbone which is the chiefe Citye of the realme for that the Duke of Alua approched from daye to daye with a greate armye whiche hee brought by land sea amounting to about sixe and twenty thousand fighting men aswell horsemen as footemen all olde soldiors and well appointed the most parte of them comming by lande the rest by sea in fiftye gallyes and about as manye great shippes At laste these two armies comming by lande and sea mette and ioyned together at the towne of Setuball whiche was quickelye brought vnder the power of thennimie by reason it was neyther anye strong towne nor prouided of gunpowder whiche in greate plentye together with thartillerie and other munitions of warre had bene before that conueyed into Castile by the sayde gouernours vnder coloure of thexpedition whiche was pretended into Aphrica The Duke of Alua hauing thus taken this towne of Setuball caused the moste parte of the footemen to be imbarqued in the gallyes and the rest in the greate shippes wherewith he wente to the towne of Cascais standing by the Ocean sea seuen myles from Lisbon hauing in his company Anthonie de Castro lorde of the same towne who a little before yeilded him selfe to the sayd Duke Through this mans labour and industrie the Duke in fewe daies easilye got this towne into his handes where Diego de meneces a gentleman of a noble house was gouernour who after the yielding vp of the towne was beheaded by the Duke of Aluaes commaundement and one of the Captaynes called Henry Perera hanged vppon a gibette notwithstanding that eache of them had yeilded himselfe After the taking of this towne of Cascais the Duke of Alua remoued his campe to the strong castle of Saint Iohn within three myles of Lisbone wherein Iristan vaz de vegna was captayne a man verye notable in militarye experience hauing made greate tryall of his valiauncye in theast Indie and nowe when the sayde Duke by the space of one daye had beaten the Castle with great ordinaunce withoute doing it anye harme the nexte daye the sayde gouernour thoughe hee wanted neyther munition nor anye other necessaries yet after parle with the Duke of Alua yeilded the Castle into his handes vppon the Dukes promise that the King of Castile should yeilde vnto him a greate pencion yeerelye during his lyfe but euen as traitors by gods iuste iudgemente are commonly payde according to their desert so this man was so farre from

declared how for his deliuery out of prison he had promised the King of Castile to assay by all manner of meanes to kill the said King Don Anthonie Or if he could not bring that to passe how at least he would finde the meane to procure certaine french companies or other strange souldiers ouer whome he hoped to be appointed captaine to rise against his maiesty at such time as hee should be readie to ioine battail or in hand to execute any like enterprise or else would do some such thing as should cast the person and campe of the said King Anthony into some notable danger wherein the very trueth is his meaning was to haue kept promise with the said King of Castile For it came to passe within a litle after when King Anthony was ouercome in a sea-battail at the Isle of S. Michael while the Marquisse of S. Crosse remained in the same Isle that the said Edward de Castro being with King Anthony in thislle of Tercera earnestlie perswaded the french companies which were there in garrison whome he had won to him by gifts and otherwise that the Portugalls went aboute to murther them all suddenlie shewing to them for proofe thereof a letter written by King Anthonies agente which though falselie he vouched to containe such matter and likewise made the portugalles on the contrariside beleeue howe they were in the like daunger at the Frenche mens handes When he had laid this foundation he went aboute to put the matter in execution and so handled the same that one day the Frenchmen first made them readie to set vpon the portugalles and slewe Anthony Baracho a gentleman of portugal But as eche party began to put themselues in armes it came to passe by the great dexteritie and wisedome of a portugall Captaine who in time smelled this treason that the matter proceeded no further but all was well pacified the Traitour apprehended Who vppon the falling out of the matter otherwise then he expected woulde presentlie haue retired into the saide Isle of S. Michaell to the Marquis of Sayncte Crosse in an Englishe ship which he had hired for that purpose for a great some of monie Thus the traitor being taken conuict of his treason aswel by his owne confession in the prison as openlie vpon the scaffold was at last beheaded Yet the saide king Don Antonie in remeÌ„braunce and consideration of his former seruices would haue pardoned him had not the common people souldiers made great instance for the open punishment of so great dangerous a treason About the same time Sebastian Caruaillo another Portugal was executed in the said Isle of Tercera for enterprising to kil the said king Don Anthonio Also for the like cause a Castilian gentleman of thorder of the knightes of Malta was afterwardes executed in Fraunce Further for the like offence Iohn Francisco and John Rodrigues desosa were prisoners in France and vpon their conuiction were sent in captiuitie to the said Islande of Tercera a little before the taking thereof by means whereof they recouered their liberty contrary to their desarts But the saide Iohn Rodrigues had neuer escaped from execution in France had not the most excelleÌ„t princesse the Queene of England with whom he had beene king Anthonies Ambassadour made intercession for him Whosoeuer therefore shall rightlye consider all these daungers and greate inconueniencies whiche the saide King Don Anthonio hath endured and escaped may easilye iudge that all this came not to passe without gods peculier prouidence and diuine sufferance that some great matter of importance is hid thereunder namely a great hope is to be conceaued therof that almightie God will vse the sayd king Don Anthonio as a fit instrument to breake the great powre force of the King of Castile wherby through his excessiue and vnmeasurable ambition he would else in tract of tyme inuade not onely all christiandom but also al the rest of the worlde that vnder the faire colour of maintaining the Catholike Romish religion vnder pretence whereof he hath thus manye yeeres afflicted thinhabitantes of the lowe countreys otherwise a good and curteous people that in former tyme had alwayes bene good faithfull subiects to him his auncestors to thintent that vpon the subduing of theÌ„ according to his faÌ„tasie he might easily freely spred his armies ouer England Germany France other nations either for that they receiue or at least permit in their countries any other religioÌ„ theÌ„ only the catholike Romish religioÌ„ or els vnder some other kinde of pretence whatsoeuer This is the marke he shooteth at wil easily hitte except thother christian Princes before theuill creepe any further haue speciall regard to oppose theÌ„selues to his power force by ayding the prouinces vnited of the lowe countreys nowe greately afflicted and also and that most specially the sayde Kinge Don Anthonio who with thayde of some reasonable nauie of ten or twelue thousande men furnished with victualles munition and other necessaries may in shorte tyme without anye greate difficultie recouer his kingdome Whereunto thincredible affection which the Portugalls beare alwayes to their King naturall prince together with thauncient hatred they haue alwaies borne to the Castilians their auncient ennemyes woulde serue for a greate furtherance As the lyke meane serued the prince of Oranges for a greate effect in the sayde lowe countreyes to mainetayne warres there so longe against the forces of the sayd Kinge of Castile Further if King Don Anthonio had recouered Portugall driuen away the castilians he might also easily in short time aswel reduce into his power and dominion the townes of Aphrica with the townes and countreys of the Easte Indies and Brasile where the garrisons consist all of naturall Portugalles as also take from the king of Castile his power by sea consisting chiefely of Portugal shippes Marriners Who without doubte for the naturall affection they beare towarde their Kinge and Countrey and the rather bicause their wiues children landes and goodes remaine in Portugall and for the naturall hatred they beare to the Castilians vnder whome they serue against their willes will easilye come and yeilde themselues to the sayde King Don Anthonie as wee haue seene the lyke example in the sayde lowe countreys when the wars began for the driuing away of the spanyardes Also it is to be noted how the people of Portugall beare a generall hatred against the king of Castile his Castilians not onely in respect of their auncient enmitye against the sayde Castilians but also and most principally for the greate iniuries and indignities which they haue suffered at their handes since the sayde King of Castile by force violence possessed their countrey Whereby all mens mindes are so bent and inflamed against him and his Castilians that their chiefe wishe and expectation is for the sayde kinge Don Anthonie by the ayde of some Princes to enter into Portugall with an armie not onely for their deliuery

from the yoke bondage of the Castilians whose garrisons there exceede not the number of three thousand men but also to inuade Castile in reuenge of the said iniuries whereinto there is long wide accesse and entry out of Portugall without any strong place to hinder free passage into the said kingdom of Castile Moreouer the hatred of the Portugalles against the Castilians is growne so far that they which before were addicted to the said King of Castile and corrupted with money promises to deliuer their natiue country into his handes do nowe secretly fauour King Don Anthonio auouching how they will rather yeilde their liues goodes to his maiesties mercye then liue any longer vnder the tyranny of the King of Castile Who hath them in no estimation neither will perform what he promised when he solicited them to be authors to procure him the kingdome Although all men know how smalle accompte the king of Castile maketh to fulfill his promises to suche men as he hath vsed in like kind of affaires most specially when he hath no more neede of them yet it shalbe worth the noting in this place how hee hath dealt with them that were the principall authors to bring his matters so easilye to passe in Portugall These men when King Don Anthonio was ouercom discomfited the King of Castile in peace able possession of the Kingdome of Portugall of the realmes lands countreis depending therof sauing onely the said Islands of Assores which held a good while as is afore recited for king Anthony exhibited a supplication to the saide King of Castile declaring at large their seruices done in his behalfe for thobteining of the said Kingdome of Portugall beseeching his maiestie to voutchsafe the performance of those promises which his ambassadors the Duke of Ossuna and Christofer de Mora had made vnto them on his behalfe exhibiting writings withall to prooue the saide ambassadors promises Wherunto the King commaunded answere to be giuen that this supplycation with thambassadors writing should be sent to his counsell called in the Portugall language Mesa da conscientia Wherupon followed a decree touching that matter of the tenor or effect ensuing Forasmuch as the king of Castile is true inheritor of the kingdom of Portugal it was not lawfull for the suppliants to sel the same for gifts nor promises but rather they had incurred the penalty of death for thâ—s of their own accord without these promises they deliuered not the kingdom to the said king of Castile But if the kingdom perteyned to Don Anthonio then they could not sell it to king Phillip wherfore the king was no way bound to performe the promises which thambassadors made to the suppliants but of his benignity and clemencye hee absolueth the supplyants from the capitall punishment whereunto for this cause they had endaungered them selues A notable reward surely yea that such a one as commonlye all traytors receaue as the King of Castile accustometh to bestow vpon all them that doe him seruice in like affaires Which may serue for an example to all men that for giftes or promises they attempt nothing against their dutie nor consciences For God is a iust iudge that neuer leaueth wickednes vnpunished nor well doeing vnrecompenced Syth therefore it manifestly appeareth by the premisses that the fayd King Don Anthonio hath a rightfull most iust cause it is to be wished that al christian princes or the more part of them would of their owne accordes offer them selues to aide succour him to recouer his Kingdom whereof he is so vniustlye and tyrannouslye spoyled by the king of Castile as it also appertayneth to all princes to helpe them that be afflicted and oppressed by tyranny Whereunto truly they ought to be the more forwarde and mooued for that it seemeth the onely waye and meane to deliuer themselues and their posteritye from the tyrannye of the Spanyardes whiche otherwise in the ende they shall hardelye auoyde as more particulerlye hath beene declared in this treatise FINIS
