of victorie against their gainstanders But as commonlie the euents of enterprises fall out flat contrarie to mens expectation and hope so came it to passe with these whose hope though it were gréene and flourie in the prosecuting of their affaires yet in the knitting vp of the matter and vnluckie successe thereof it fell out in triall to be a flattering a false and a fruitlesse hope and therefore that is a true and a wise sentence of the comiall poet well seruing the purpose Insperata accidunt magis saepè quàm quae speres All this season was king Henrie in Scotland and quéene Margaret being in France found such line 10 friendship at the French kings hands that she obteined a crue of fiue hundred Frenchmen with the which she arriued in Scotland And after that she had reposed hir selfe a time she sailed with hir gallant band of those ruffling Frenchmen toward Newcastell and landed at Tinmouth But whether she were afraid of hir owne shadow or that the Frenchmen cast too manie doubts the truth is that the whole armie returned to their ships and a tempest rose so suddenlie that if she had not taken a small carauell and that with good spéed arriued at Berwike she had line 20 beene taken at that present time by hir aduersaries And although fortune was so fauourable to hir yet hir companie with stormie blasts was driuen on the shore before Banburgh castell where they set their ships on fire and fled to an Iland called holie Iland where they were so assailed by the bastard Ogle and an esquier called Iohn Manners with other of king Edward freends that manie of them were slaine and almost foure hundred taken prisoners but their coronell Peter Bressie otherwise called monsieur line 30 de Uarenne happened vpon a fisherman and so came to Berwike vnto queene Margaret who made him capteine of the castell of Alnewike which he with his Frenchmen kept till they were rescued Shortlie after quéene Margaret obteined a great companie of Scots and other of hir friends and so bringing hir husband with hir and leauing hir sonne called prince Edward in the towne of Berwike entered Northumberland tooke the castell of Banburgh line 40 and stuffed it with Scotishmen and made thereof capteine sir Rafe Greie and came forward toward the bishoprike of Durham When the duke of Summerset heard these newes he without delaie reuolted from king Edward and fled to king Henrie So likewise did sir Rafe Persie and manie other of the kings friends But manie mo followed king Henrie in hope to get by the spoile for his armie spoiled and burned townes and destroied fields whersoeuer he came King Edward aduertised of all these things prepared an armie both by sea and land line 50 Some of his ships were rigged and vittelled at Lin and some at Hull and well furnished with souldiers were herewith set foorth to the sea Also the lord Montacute was sent into Northumberland there to raise the people to withstand his enimies And after this the king in his proper person accompanied with his brethren and a great part of the nobilitie of his realme came to the citie of Yorke furnished with a mightie armie sending a great part thereof line 60 to the aid of the lord Montacute least peraduenture he giuing too much confidence to the men of the bishoprike and Northumberland might through them be deceiued The Lord Montacute then hauing such with him as he might trust marched foorth towards his enimies and by the waie was incountered with the lord Hungerford the lord Roos sir Rafe Persie and diuerse other at a place called Hegelie moore where suddenlie the said lords in maner without stroke striking fled and onelie sir Rafe Persie abode and was there manfullie slaine with diuerse other saieng when he was dieng I haue saued the bird in my bosome meaning that he had kept his promise and oth made to king Henrie forgetting belike that he in king Henries most necessitie abandoned him and submitted him to king Edward as before you haue heard The lord Montacute séeing fortune thus prosperouslie leading his saile aduanced forward learning by espials that king Henrie with his host was incamped in a faire plaine called Liuels on the water of Dowill in Examshire hasted thither and manfullie set on his enimies in their owne campe which like desperate persons with no small courage receiued him There was a sore foughten field and long yer either part could haue anie aduantage of the other but at length the victorie fell to the lord Montacute who by fine force entered the battell of his enimies and constreined them to flie as despairing of all succours In which flight and chase were taken Henrie duke of Summerset which before was reconciled to king Edward the lord Roos the lord Molins the lord Hungerford sir Thomas Wentworth sir Thomas Husseie sir Iohn Finderne and manie other King Henrie was a good horsseman that day for he rode so fast awaie that no man might ouertake him and yet he was so néere pursued that certeine of his henchmen were taken their horsses trapped in blue veluet and one of them had on his head the said king Henries helmet or rather as may be thought as some say his high cap of estate called Abacot garnished with two rich crownes which was presented to king Edward at Yorke the fourth day of Maie The duke of Summerset was incontinentlie beheaded at Exham the other lords and knights were had to Newcastell and there after a little respit were likewse put to death Beside these diuerse other to the number of fiue and twentie were executed at Yorke and in other places Sir Humfrie Neuill and William Tailbois calling himselfe earle of Kime sir Rafe Greie and Richard Tunstall with diuerse other which escaped from this battell hid themselues in secret places but yet they kept not themselues so close but that they were espied and taken The earle of Kime was apprehended in Riddesdale and brought to Newcastell and there beheaded Sir humfrie Neuill was taken in Holdernesse and at Yorke lost his head After this battell called Exham field king Edward came to the citie of Durham and sent from thence into Northumberland the earle of Warwike the lord Montacute the lords Fauconbridge Scroope to recouer such castels as his enimies there held and with force defended They first besieged the castell of Alnewike which sir Peter Bressie and the Frenchmen kept and in no wise would yéeld sending for aid to the Scots Whervpon sir George Dowglas erle of Angus with thirteene thousand chosen men in the day time came and rescued the Frenchmen out of the castell the Englishmen looking on which thought it much better to haue the castell without losse of their men than to leese both the castell and their men considering the great power of the Scots their owne small number and so they entered the castell and

Edward the fourth began hir iornie from the Wardrobe in London toward hir marriage with Charles duke of Burgognie first the offered in the church of saint Paule and then rode thorough the citie the earle of Warwike riding before hir with earles and barons a great number the duchesse of Norffolke with other ladies and gentlewomen in great number And at hir entrie into Cheape the maior of London and his brethren the aldermen presented hir with a paire of rich basons in them an hundred pounds of gold and that night she lodged at the abbeie of Stratford where the king then laie from thense she tooke hir iournie to Canturburie The king riding after to sée hir shipping on the first of Iulie she tooke the sea at Margate and there tooke leaue of the king hir brother and departed There returned backe againe with the king the duke of Clarence the duke of Glocester the earles of Warwike Shrewesburie and Northumberland And there abode with hir in the ship the lord Scales the lord Dacres hir chamberlaine sir Iohn Wooduile sir Iohn Howard and manie other famous knights and esquiers She was shipped in the new Ellen of London and in hir nauie the Iohn of Newcastell the Marie of Salisburie and manie other roiall ships and on the morrow landed at Sluis in Flanders Now as soone as hir ship companie of ships were entered into the hauen there receiued hir sir Simon de Lelein and the water bailiffe in diuerse boats and barks apparelled readie for hir landing The first estate that receiued hir was the bishop of Utright well accompanied and the countesse of Shorne bastard daughter to duke Philip of Burgognie and with hir manie ladies and gentlewomen and so procéeding in at the gate of the towne the same towne was presented to hir she to be souereigne ladie thereof also they gaue to hir twelue marks of gold Troie weight the which was two hundred pounds of English monie and so procéeded thorough the towne to hir lodging euerie housholder standing in the street with a torch in his hand burning On the morow the old duchesse of Burgognie came to hir accompanied with manie great estates On the third of Iulie came the duke of Burgognie to Sluis with twentie persons secretlie and was there openlie affianced to the ladie Margaret by the bishop of Salisburie and the lord Scales in presence of the lord Dacres the duchesse of Norffolke the ladie Scales and all the knights esquiers gentlewomen inuironing the chamber line 10 On the 8 of Iulie being saturdaie by the duke of Burgognies appointment the lady Margaret remoued by water to the Dame And on the sunday in the morning betwixt fiue and six of the clocke the mariage was solemnized betwixt them by the bishops of Salisburie and of Turneie there being present the old duches of Burgognie the lord Scales the lord Dacres with the knights esquiers ladies gentlewomen that came out of England The great triumphs feastings shewes of pageants with other line 20 strange deuises and iustings were such as I haue not read the like and would be ouer long in this place to set downe ¶ Of this aliance with other more mention is honorablie made in the declaration of the causes that moued the Quéene of England to giue aid to the defense of the people afflicted oppressed in the low countries by the Spaniards namelie for the maintenance of perpetuall amitie Which declaration is so set foorth in this booke as the same in the seuen and twentith line 30 yeare of hir maiesties reigne was published vnto which yeare I remit the reader for the further search thereof for that it conteineth much memorable matter touching the manifest causes of concord to be continued betwéene them of the low countries and vs English Sir Thomas Cooke late maior of London was by one named Hawkins appeached of treason for the which he was sent to the Tower and his place within London seized by the lord Riuers and his wife and line 40 seruants cleerelie put out therof The cause was this The forenamed Hawkins came vpon a season vnto the said sir Thomas requesting him to lend a thousand markes vpon good suertie wherevnto he answered that first he would know for whome it should be and for what intent At length vnderstanding it should be for the vse of queene Margaret he answered he had no currant wares whereof anie shifts might be made without too much losse and therefore required Hawkins to line 50 mooue him no further in that matter for he intended not to deale withall yet the said Hawkins exhorted him to remember what benefits he had receiued by hir when she was in prosperitie as by making him hir wardrober and customer of Hampton c. But by no meanes the said Cooke would grant goods nor monie although at last the said Hawkins required but an hundred pounds he was faine to depart without the value of a penie and neuer came againe to mooue him which so rested two or three years line 60 after till the said Hawkins was cast in the Tower and at length brought to the brake called the duke of Excesters daughter by meanes of which paine he shewed manie things amongst the which the motion was one that he had made to sir Thomas Cooke and accused himselfe so farre that he was put to death By meane of which confession the said sir Thomas was troubled as before is shewed when the said sir Thomas had laine in the Tower from Whitsuntide till about Michaelmas in the which season manie inquiries were made to find him guiltie and euer quit till one iurie by meanes of sir Iohn Fog indicted him of treason after which an oier and terminer was kept at the Guildhall in which sat with the maior the duke of Clarence the earle of Warwike the lord Riuers sir Iohn Fog with other of the kings councell To the which place the said Thomas was brought and there arreigned vpon life and death where he was acquited of the said indictement and had to the counter in Breadstreet and from thence to the kings bench After a certeine time that he was thus acquited his wife got againe the possession of hir house the which she found in an euill plight for such seruants of the lord Riuers and sir Iohn Fog as were assigned to kéepe it made hauocke of what they listed Also at his place in Essex named Giddihall were set an other sort to kéepe that place the which destroied his déere in his parke his conies and his fish without reason and spared not brasse pewter bedding all that they might carie for the which might neuer one penie be gotten in recompense

great hurt to the same in casting downe castels towers and houses burning spoiling and destroieng the same and cruellie murthering the king of England his brothers subiects he the said earle would be readie to trie the rightfulnesse of the matter with the king in battell by fridaie next comming at the furthest if he of his noble courage would giue him tarieng and abode And the same did the said earle promise as he was a true knight vnto God the king of England his maister And before Rouge Crosse should depart with the said instructions the lord admerall gaue him in credence to shew the said king of his comming and part of his companie from the sea with him and that he had sought the Scotish nauie then being on the sea but he could not méet with them bicause they were fled into France by the coast of Ireland And in as much as the said king had diuerse and manie times caused the said lord to be called at daies of truce to make redresse for Andrew Barton a pirat of the sea long before that vanquished by the same lord admerall he was now come in his owne proper person to be in the vant-gard of the field to iustifie the death of the said Andrew against him and all his people and would sée what could be laid to his charge the said daie Furthermore that he nor none of his companie should take no Scotish noble man prisoner nor anie other but they should die if they came in his danger vnlesse it were the kings owne person for he said he trusted to none other courtesie at the hands of the Scots And in this maner he should find him in the vant-gard of the field by the grace of God and saint George as he was a true knight Yet before the departing of Rouge Crosse with the said instructions and credence it was thought by the earle his councell that the said king would faine and imagine some other message to send an herald of his with the same onelie to view and ouersée the manner and order of the kings roiall armie ordinance and artillerie then being with the earle whereby might haue insued great danger to the same And for the eschuing thereof he had in commandement that if anie such message were sent not to bring anie person comming therewith within thrée or two miles of the field at the nighest where the said earle would come and heare what he would saie And thus departed Rouge Crosse with his trumpet apparelled in his coat of armes On mondaie the fift daie of September the earle tooke his field at Bolton in Glendale as he had appointed where all the noble men and gentlemen met him with their retinues to the number of six and twentie thousand men And about midnight next insuing came the trumpet which went to Rouge Crosse and declared how the king of Scots after the message doone to him by Rouge Crosse according to his instructions the said king deteined him sent one Ilaie an herald of his with him vnto the earle to declare to him the kings pleasure to whom the earle sent Yorke herald at armes to accompanie the said Ilaie at a village called Milo two miles from the field vntill the comming thither of the said earle the next morow On the sixt daie of September earlie in the morning the earle accompanied with the most part of the lords and knights and gentlemen of the field euerie man hauing with him but one seruant to hold his horsse rode vnto the place and so the said herald met with the earle and with blunt reuerence declared to him that he was come from his maister the king of Scots which would know whether the earle sent anie such message by Rouge Crosse. The earle iustified the same saieng further that Rouge Crosse had the same message of him in writing signed with his owne hand Wherevnto the said Ilaie said As to the abiding for battell betwéene that and fridaie then next following the king his maister bade him shew to the earle that he was as welcome as anie noble man of England vnto the said king and that if be h●d béene at home in his towne of Edenburgh there receiuing such a message from the said earle line 10 he would gladlie haue come and fulfilled the said earles desire And the herald assured the earle on the king his masters behalfe that the same king would abide him battel at the daie prefixed Wherof the said earle was right ioious and much praised the honorable agréement of the said roiall king and esteemed the same to proceed of an high and honorable courage promising the herald that he and good suertie with him should be bound in ten thousand pounds sterling to kéepe the line 20 said daie appointed so that the king would find an earle of his and thereto a good suertie with him to be bound in like summe for the performance of the same And furthermore the earle bade the herald to saie vnto his maister the king that if he for his part kept not his appointment then he was content that the Scots should baffull him which is a great reproch among the Scots and is vsed when a man is openlie periured and then they make of him an image painted reuersed with his héeles vpward with his name line 30 woondering crieng and blowing out on him with hornes in the most despitefull manner they can in token that he is worthie to be exiled the companie of all good creatures Then Ilaie deliuered to the earle a little schedule written with the kings secretaries hand vnsigned as followeth The tenor of the said schedule AS to the causes alledged of our comming into England against our band and promise as is alledged thereto we answere our brother was bound as farre to vs as we to him And when we sware last before his ambassador in presence of our councell we expressed especiallie in an othe that we would keepe to our brother if our brother kept to vs and not else We sweare our line 50 brother brake first vnto vs. And since his breach we haue required diuers times him to amend latelie we warned our brother as he did not vs yer he brake And this we take for our quarrell and with Gods grace shall defend the same at your affixed time which with Gods grace we shall abide And forsomuch as the king kept Rouge Crosse with him who was not yet returned the same earle caused the same Ilaie to be in the kéeping of sir Humfrie Lisle and Yorke herald in the same village vntill the time that a seruant of the same Ilaie might ride in all hast to the king of Scots for the deliuering of the said Rouge Crosse. Then the earle ioious of the kings answer returned to his campe and set forward fiue miles to a place called Woller Haugh in such order of battell as euen then he should haue fought and there lodged for that night

towards his roiall person The king receiued their petitions line 60 which consisted in choise of councellors suppression of religious houses maintenance of the seruice of almightie God the statute of vses the release of the fifteenth and receiuing of the first fruits with such other matters as nothing apperteined to them wherevpon he made them answer in pithie sentence reprouing them of their presumptuous follie and rebellious attempt to meddle in anie such matters and weightie affaires the direction whereof onelie belonged to him and to such noble men and councellors as his pleasure should be to elect and choose to haue the ordering of the same Wherfore he aduised them to remember their rash and inconsiderate dooings and that now in anie wise they should resort home to their houses and no more to assemble contrarie to his lawes and their owne allegiances and also to cause the prouokers of this mischiefe to be deliuered to the hands of his lieutenant and further to submit themselues wholie to such punishment as he and his nobles should thinke them worthie to receiue for otherwise he would not suffer that iniurie at their hands to go vnreuenged After the Lincolnshire men had receiued the kings answer thus made to their petitions each mistrusting other who should be noted the greatest meddler suddenlie they began to shrinke and got them home to their houses without longer abode Herewith the duke of Suffolke the kings lieutenant was appointed to go with the armie to see the countrie set in quiet accompanied with the lord admerall sir Francis Brian and sir Iohn Russell that were ioined with him also in commission for the ordering of things there within the countie of Lincolne The duke entred into the citie of Lincolne the seuentéenth of October On the ninetéenth all the inhabitants of Louth according to order giuen by the duke came to Lincolne and there in the castell made their submission holding vp their hands and crieng for the kings mercie And herwith were chosen foorth Nicholas Melton capteine Cobler thirteene more which were commanded to ward and all the residue were new sworne to the king renouncing their former oth receiued in time of their rebellion and then departed home to their houses in the kings peace After this were proclamations made abrode in the countrie in euerie market towne by the heralds of armes Summerset and Winsore that the capteins and souldiers of the dukes armie should not take anie mans goods cattels or vittels except they paied or agréed with the owners of the same And further commandement was giuen that all inhabitants and dwellers within the townes and villages about should repaire to the citie of Lincolne with all maner of vittels as well for men as horsses where they should receiue paiment at reasonable prices for the same After this there was likewise proclamation made for the apprehending of all such lewd persons as had sowne anie false rumors abrode in the countrie the cheefe occasion of this rebellion bruting that the king pretended to haue the gold in the hands of his subiects brought into the tower to be touched and all their cattell vnmarked the chalices goods and ornaments of parish churches fines for christenings weddings and buriengs licences to eat white meat bread pig goose or capon with manie other slanderous false and detestable tales and lies forged of diuelish purpose to incourage the people to rebellion If therefore anie man could apprehend such as had béene the setters foorth and sowers of such seditious reports they that brought them in should be so rewarded as they should thinke their labour well bestowed Moreouer if there were anie assemblies made in anie part of the realme without the kings licence by anie vnrulie persons and would not depart to their houses vpon warning by his graces proclamations they should not looke for further mercie at the kings hand but to be prosecuted with fire and sword to the vttermost To conclude by the wise and sage direction taken in appeasing the countrie by that noble duke all things were quieted in those parties Diuerse of the principall offendors were sent vnto London He that tooke vpon him as cheefe capteine of the rout was the same that called himselfe capteine Cobler but he was indeed a moonke named doctor Makarell which afterwards with diuerse others was executed But now in the meane time whilest the duke was sent forwards into Lincolneshire within six daies after the king was trulie informed that there was a new stir begun in the north parts by the people there which had assembled themselues into an huge armie of warlike men well appointed both with capteins horsses armor and artillerie to the number of fortie thousand men which had incamped themselues in Yorkeshire These men declared by their proclamations solemnlie made that this their rising and commotion should extend no further but onelie to the maintenance and defense of the faith line 10 of Christ and deliuerance of holie church sore decaied and oppressed and also for the furtherance as well of priuate as publike matters in the realme touching the wealth o● all the kings poore subiects They named this their seditious voiage an holie and blessed pilgrimage they had also certeine banners in the field in which was painted Christ hanging on the crosse on the one side and a chalice with a painted cake in it on the other side with diuers other banners of like hypocrisie and feigned holinesse The line 20 souldiers had also imbrodered on the sléeues of their cotes in stéed of a badge the similitude of the fiue wounds of our sauiour and in the middest thereof was written the name of our Lord. Thus had the rebels hast of sathan with false and counterfeit signes of holinesse set out themselues onelie to deceiue the simple people in that their wicked and rebellious enterprise against their liege lord and naturall prince whome by the law of nations and by Gods commandements they were bound in conscience to obeie line 30 and so farre to be from lifting vp the least finger of their hand as rather to put life and goods in hazard for his sake to testifie their allegiance The spéedie diligence and loiall dutie which was found at that present in the worthie councellour George earle of Shrewesburie is not to be forgotten who immediatlie after he vnderstood how the northerne men were thus vp in armes considering how much it imported to stop them of their passage before they should aduance too far forwards whereby line 40 they might both increase in power and put all other parts of the realme in hazard through feare or hope to incline to their wicked purposes he sent abroad with all spéed possible to raise such power of his seruants tenants and fréends as by anie means he might make and withall dispatched one of his seruants to the king both to aduertise him what he had doone and also to purchase his pardon for making

50 hours fight the enimie entered Which when the lord Greie beheld he leaped to the top of the rampire wishing of God that some shot would take him When one that stood next him by the scarffe suddenlie pulled him downe otherwise the effects had well declared the earnestnes of the praier for he was not yet vp againe when a canon shot grated vpon the same place from whence he fell And thus verie narrowlie hée scaped the danger of that shot which if it had hit him would no doubt haue wrought his dispatch For what is the weake frame of a mans bodie to mightie line 60 forts and strong castels builded of timber and stone beside the iron worke therewith compact oftentimes redoubling the strength of the same And yet these we see by experience ruinated battered and laid leuell manie times with the thundering shot of this dreadfull artillerie an engine of no great antiquitie and not vsed among ancient warriours in former ages but a late deuise of a Franciscan frier pitie it is that euer he was borne to set abroch such a pestilent inuention as the poet noteth shewing also the vse and the mischéefous effect therof as followeth Tormenti genus est ex ferro aut aere coactum Quod Franciscanus frater reperisserefertur Vt capias paucis validissima castra diebus Quae vix cepisses armis toto prius anno c. But to proceed The fight within the bulworke yet lasted to the great slaughter of them that defended it Herevpon my lord Greie presentlie called to maister Lewes Diue and others that were about him to follow him to the gate The maze was such that besides his sonne maister Arthur Greie and now lord Greie maister Lewes Diue capteine Brickewell and halfe a doozen of armed corslets not a man else did follow him By this means the Englishmen were cleane driuen out of the bulworke the enimie yet not daring to passe the braies gaue them that escaped good leisure to recouer the gate where my lord Greie holding the wicket himselfe receiued them in Upon the taking of this bulworke the souldiors of Whiteleies bulworke and the base court in discomfiture abandoned their charges flieng to the castell so that more than the Kéepe and the bodie of the castell no part was free from the enimie My lord Greie hauing receiued all his caused the gates to be rammed vp Thus were the cheefe bulworks and vtter lims of the castell of Guisnes obteined by the French on saint Sebastians daie being the twentith of Ianuarie but yet not without great expense of bloud on both sides for of the French part there were slaine in those assaults aboue the number of eight or nine hundred and of the English not manie fewer amongst whom the greatest losse lighted vpon those few Spaniards and Wallons that were come to assist the English at that present It was now night when a trumpetter came to the ditches side in the base court sounded a summons who being called vnto asked what he would told that he was sent to my lord Greie by the duke of Guise with offer of a parlée if it would be harkened vnto The souldiors no sooner heard these newes but forsaking the walles came all in rowt togither confusedlie speaking to their chiefteine the said lord Greie praied him to harken to the message to haue consideration of their liues which so long as anie hope remained they willinglie had ventured The lord Greies answer was that he maruelled either what causelesse mistrust of his caring for them was now come vpon them or what sudden vnwoonted faintnesse of mind had so assailed them as to cause them in such disorder to forsake their places and leaue the walles naked and he willed them to returne to the same My lord Greie hereof tooke counsell and it was thought good not to reiect the offer the extremitie on euerie side weied The trumpetter receiuing answer accordinglie departed without long abode returned againe requiring in the dukes behalfe hostages for a truce during the parlee from vs he minding to deliuer the like into the castell From him in fine monsieur Des●rees and a gentleman of the kings chamber were sent in and maister Arthur Greie my lords sonne and maister Lewes Diue were put out Monsieur Dandelot in the braies receiued them and caried them ouer the vnfortunate bulworke being come vpon naked and new slaine carcases some of them spralling yet and groning vnder their feet were onelie the earth they trod on So passing downe the breach somewhat to the ease of the former heauie sight they saw it and the ditch little lesse fraught with the enimies corpses Then to the campe they came and were lodged in the said Dandelots tent The next daie in the morning the lord Greie was to m●et the duke abrode betweene them willinglie one houre was spent in talking without agreement onelie vpon this point that the lord Greie would haue his bands depart with their ensignes displaied which would not be yeelded vnto so he returned the hostages also therevpon were sent in Monsieur Destrées not being yet come foorth my lord was no sooner entered againe but that the souldiers eftsoones forsaking the walles willinglie to the present cutting of all their owne throtes if monsieur Destrées himselfe had not béene with a few capteins gentlemen of the lord Greies owne retinue came and met him crieng vpon him to haue pitie vpon them The lord Greie herewith staied and pausing a while had line 10 this speach The onelie pitie if fond I cannot saie that I haue of you hath caused me this daie to make such offers of composition as neither your honesties nor my honour nor either of our duties in my thought maie well beare which refused to take harder to the vtter defacing of our credits sith the best would blot it If I would souldiers your selues me thinketh in vengeance thereof should turne your weapons vpon me and sacrifice so hartlesse a capteine rather line 20 than to take it as a token of a pitifull capteine ouer you and to yéeld thanks for the same We haue begun as becommed vs we haue yet held on as dutie dooth bind vs let vs end then as honest dutie and fame dooth will vs. Neither is there anie such extremitie of despaire in our case but that we maie yet dearelie inough sell our skins yer we lose them Let vs then either march out vnder our ensignes displaied or else herewith die vnder them displaied The soldiers herewith in a mutinie flatlie answered line 30 that they for his vainglory would not sell their liues The desperatnesse of their case was not vnknowne vnto them said they and that their liues in other seruice might yet auaile their prince and countrie In this now further to venture was but like oxen to be thrust to the butcher That his lordship was not to expect anie one blow at their hands Herewith

néeds depart to the manour of Woodstocke as he thought Being demanded of hir for what cause For that quoth he the tower is like further to be furnished She being desirous to know what he meant thereby demanded wherewith He answered with such matter as the quéene and councell were determined in that behalfe wherof he had no knowledge and so departed In conclusion on Trinitie sundaie being the ninetéenth daie of Maie she was remooued from the tower the lord treasuror being then there for the lading of hir carts and discharging the place of the same Where sir Henrie Benefield being appointed hir gailor did receiue hir with a companie of rakehels to gard hir beside the lord of Darbies band waiting in the countrie about for the mooneshine in the water Unto whome at length came my lord of Tame ioined in commission with the said sir Henrie for the safe guiding of hir to prison and they togither conueied hir grace to Woodstocke as hereafter followeth The first daie they conducted hir to Richmond where she continued all night being restreined of hir owne men which were lodged in outchambers and sir Henrie Benefields souldiors appointed in their roomes to giue attendance on hir person Whereat she being maruellouslie dismaied thinking verelie some secret mischiefe to be a woorking towards hir called hir gentleman vsher and desired him with the rest of his companie to praie for hir For this night quoth she I thinke to die Wherewith he being stricken to the heart said God forbid that anie such wickednesse should be pretended against your grace So comforting hir as well as he could at last he burst out into teares went from hir downe into the court where were walking the lord of Tame and sir Henrie Benefield Then he comming to the lord of Tame who had proffered to him much friendship desired to speake with him a word or two Unto whome he familiarlie said he should with all his heart Which when sir Henrie standing by heard he asked what the matter was To whome the gentleman vsher answered No great matter sir said he but to speake with my lord a word or two Then when the lord of Tame came to him he spake on this wise My lord quoth line 10 he you haue béene alwaies my good lord and so I beséech you to remaine The cause why I come to you at this time is to desire your honor vnfeinedlie to declare vnto me whether anie danger is meant towards my mistresse this night or no that I and my poore fellows may take such part as shall please God to appoint for certeinlie we will rather die than she should secretlie and innocentlie miscarie Marie said the lord of Tame God forbid that anie such wicked purpose should be wrought and rather line 20 than it should be so I with my men are readie to die at hir foot also and so praised be God they passed that dolfull night with no little heauinesse of heart Afterwards passing ouer the water at Richmond going towards Windsore hir grace espied certeine of hir poore seruants standing on the other side which were verie desirous to sée hir Whome when she beheld turning to one of hir men standing by she said Yonder I sée certeine of my men go to them and say th●se words from me Tanquam ouis So she passing forward to Windsore was lodged line 30 there that night in the deane of Windsors house a place more méet in déed for a priest than for a princesse And from thense hir grace was garded and brought the next night to maister Dormers house where much people standing by the way some presented to hir one gift and some another so that sir Henrie was greatlie mooued therewith and troubled the poore people verie sore for shewing their louing hearts in such a maner calling them rebels and traitors with such like vile words Besides as line 40 she passed thorough the villages the townesmen rang the bels as being ioyfull of hir comming thinking verelie it had beene otherwise than it was indeed as the sequele prooued after to the said poore men For immediatlie the said sir Henrie hearing the same sent his

behalfe letting them to vnderstand that she was the quéens line 60 maiesties prisoner and no otherwise aduising them therfore to take heed beware of afterclaps Wherevnto the lord of Tame answered in this wise that he was well aduised of his dooings being ioined in commission as well as he adding with warrant that hir grace might and should in his house be merrie The next daie as she should take hir iournie from Richmond towards Woodstocke the lord of Tame with an other gentleman being at tables plaieng and dropping vie crownes the ladie Elizabeth passing by staied said she would sée the game plaied out which sir Henrie Benefield would scarse permit The game running long about and they plaieng drop vie crownes Come on saith he I will tarie saith she and will sée this game out After this sir Henrie went vp into a chamber where was appointed for hir grace a chaire two cushions and a foot carpet verie faire and princelike wherein presumptuouslie he sat and called one Barwike his man to pull off his boots Which as soone as it was knowen among the ladies and gentles euerie one mused thereat laughed him to scorne obseruing his vndiscréet maners in that behalfe as they might verie well When supper was doone he called my lord and willed him that all the gentlemen and ladies should withdraw themselues euerie one to his lodging maruelling much that he would permit there such a companie considering so great a charge committed to him Sir Henrie quoth my lord content your selfe all shall be voided your men and all Nay my soldiors quoth sir Henrie shall watch all night The lord of Tame answered It shall not need Well said he Néed or néed not they shall so doo mistrusting belike the companie which God knoweth was without cause The next daie hir grace tooke hir iournie from thense to

of the pioners and men of war that garded them for as the French desperatlie made their approch so they were made by English gunners to tast the bitter fruit that the canon culuerings yéelded But such was the multitude of the Frenchmen that were now assembled line 30 togither in hope to recouer that towne which being possessed by the English cut off all traffike from Rouen and Paris and so consequentlie from the chéefe parts of the whole realme of France that with their generall aid and drawing the water downe to the sea the marishes were made passable and firme ground which to men of great experience was thought a thing vnpossible The castell the walles and other defenses of the towne were battered breaches made and the trench which before the line 40 comming of the conestable was but brought to the point ouer against the bulworke of saint Addresses was now within foure daies aduanced néere hand the space of two miles vpon the causeie or breach which was all of stone without anie earth to couer them so that they were driuen to make the best shift they could with woolsacks sandbags baskets and fagots Yet all this had neuer come to passe nor could haue beene wrought without infinit slaughter and far more losse of French bloud that necessarilie line 50 should haue béene spilt if the great mortalitie of pestilence which entred the towne about the beginning of the summer throgh a malicious infection had not so greatlie increased that it ●●ue tooke awaie dailie great numbers of men beside those that being sicke thereof escaped with life but were yet so feeble and weake that they were notable to helpe themselues nor to doo anie seruice auailable at all There died so manie dailie through the vehemencie of the infection that the stréets laie euen full of line 60 dead corpses not able to be remooued or buried by reason of the multitude that perished Herewith they were gréeuo●slie annoied for want of fresh vittels but chéeflie of fresh waters which the enimie by long siege had cut off And now the shot of the canon lieng within six and twentie pa●es of the towne was so terrible as the like had not lightlie beene heard of and sundrie breaches therewith were alreadie made namelie two verie great and easie for the enimies to enter All these dangers and miseries notwithstanding the worthie earle of Warwike with his capteins and soldiors in couragious order stood at those seuerall breaches readie to defend the same if the enimies had presumed to haue giuen the assault nothing afraid of death nor bloudie wounds before which he preferred the seruice of his prince And albeit the aduenture was great yet by his owne example he incoraged other to cast awaie all dread of danger and to shew themselues bold which to a soldior in battell is a whetstone to set him on edge And surelie in this point he was warriorlike minded if a man may allow the poets words in the like sense Res magnae non absque graui discrimine fiunt In dubijs prodest generosa audacia rebus Which when the conestable perceiued he caused a trumpet to sound the blast of imparleacute e that talke might be had for the concluding of a composition betwixt both the parties This offer considering that sore contagious mortalitie wherwith the towne was most greeuouslie infected hauing so greatlie inféebled the English forces within the same was thought not vnméet to be receiued Herevpon

this rebellion persuaded him first to trie treat the freendship of certeine wild Scots that then laie incamped in Clan Iboie line 40 vnder the conducting of Alexander Oge and Mac Gilliam Buske whose

interteinement quaffing of wine Gilliam Buske burning with desire of reuenge for his fathers and vncles death and ministring quarrelling talke issued out of the tent and made a fraie vpon Oneils men and then gathering togither his line 50 Scots in a throng suddenlie entred the tent againe who there with their slaughter swords hewed in péeces Shane Oneil his secretarie and all his companie except a verie few which escaped by flight On saint Iohns euen at night was the like standing watch in London as had beene on saint Peters euen in the yeare last before mentioned This yeare the emperour

their footclothes for his lordship and the most respected of his traine and so brought him to the presence of the emperour at that present within his castell there in that citie by whom he was right honourablie receiued and afterwards conducted to his assigned lodging where as all prouision was prepared and made at the emperours charges Here his lordship continued till the fouretéenth of Ianuarie In which meane time the emperour verie often as time serued had the said earle foorth with him vnto such pastimes of hunting the hart boare and such like as the plentifulnesse of that countrie yéeldeth Moreouer during the time of his lordships abode there at Uienna Charles archduke of Austria and Carinth arriued in that citie whom my lord went to salute After this vpon the quéenes maiesties
