doubt how to quiet him to the counsell who was then departed in a great fury Now here was sending here was comming here was intreating and here was great submission and intercession made unto him to reduce him to his former communication who would in no wayes relent untill Madame Regent came to him her selfe who handled the matter so well that shee brought him to his former communication and by that meanes hee brought all things to passe that before hee could not compasse which was more out of feare then affection the French King had to the matter in hand for now hee had got the heades of all the Councell under his girdle The next morning early after this conflict the Cardinall arose about 4. of the clock and sate him downe to write Letters into England unto the King commanding one of his Chaplaines to prepare him ready Insomuch that the Chaplaine stood ready in his Vestures untill foure of the clocke in the afternoone All which season my Lord never rose to eate any meate but continually writ Letters with his owne hand And about foure of the clocke in the afternoone he made an end of writing commanding one Christopher Gunner the Kings Serjeant to prepare himselfe without delay to ride Post into England with his Letters whom he dispatcht away ere ever he dranke That done he went to Masse and Mattins and other devotions with his Chaplaine as he was accustomed to doe and then went to walke in a Garden the space of an houre and more and then said Evening song and so went to dinner and supper making no long stay and so went to bed The next night following my Lord caused a great supper to be made or rather a Banquet for Madam Regent and the Queene of Navarre and other Noble Personages Lords and Ladies At which supper was Madam Lewis one of the Daughters of Lewis the last King whose sister lately dyed these two Sisters were of their Mother Inheritours of the Dutchie of Brittaine And forasmuch as King Francis had married one of the Sisters by which he had one Moytie of the said Dutchie hee kept the said Madam Lewis the other Sister without Mariage to the intent the whole Dutchie might descend to him or his successours after his death for lacke of issue of her But now let us returne to the Supper or Banquet where all those noble personages were highly feasted And at the middest of the said Banquet the French King and the King of Navarre came suddenly in who tooke their places in the lowest part thereof There was not onely plenty of fine meates but also much mirth and solace aswell in merry communication as also the noyse of my Lords Musique who played there all that night so cunningly that the two Kings tooke great delight therein insomuch that the French King desired my Lord to lend them unto him for the next night And after the Supper or Banquet ended the Lords fell to dancing amongst whom one Madam Fountaine had the praise And thus passed they the most part of the night ere they parted The next day the King tooke my Lords Musicke and rode to a Noblemans house where was some living Image to whom he had vowed a nights pilgrimage And to performe his devotion when he came there which was in the night he danced and caused others to doe the same and the next morning he returned to Campanie The King being at Campanie gave order that a wild Bore should be lodged for him in the Forrest whether my Lord Cardinall went with him to see him hunt the wild Bore where the Lady Regent with a number of Ladies and Damsels were standing in Chariots looking upon the toyle amongst these Ladyes stood my Lord Cardinall to regard the hunting in the Lady Regents Chariot And within the Toyle was the King with divers Ladyes of France ready furnished for the high and dangerous enterprize of hunting of this perilous wilde Swine The King being in his Doublet and Hose all of sheepes colour cloth richly trimmed in his slippe a brace of very great Gray-hounds who were armed as their manner there is to defend them from the violence of the Beasts tuskes And the rest of the Kings Gentlemen that were appointed to hunt were likewise in their Doublets and Hose holding each of them a very sharpe Bores speare Then the King commanded the Keepers to uncouch the Boare And that every person within the Toyle should goe to a standing among whom were divers Gentlemen of England The Boare presently issued out of his denne and being pursued by a hound came into the plaine where he stayed a while gazing upon the people and the hound drawing neere him he espied a Bush upon a Banke under the bush lay two Frenchmen who fled thither thinking there to be safe But the Bore smelling them and thrusting his head into the Bush these two men came away from thence as men use to fly from the danger of death Then was the Boare by violence of the Hunters driven from thence who ' ran straite to one of my Lords Footmen being a very tall man who had in his hand an English Javelin with which he defended himselfe a great while But the Bore continued foaming at him with his great Tuskes at the last the Boare broke in sunder his Javelin so that he was glad to draw his sword and therewith stood upon his guard untill the Hunters came and rescued him and put the Boare once againe to flight to an other Gentleman of England one Master Ratcliffe who was sonne and heire to the Lord Fitzwalter now Earle of Sussex who by his Boares speare rescued himselfe There were many other passages but I forbeare prolixitie and returne to the matter in hand Many dayes were spent in consultation and expectation of Christopher Gunners returne who was formerly sent post into England with Letters as I said before At last he returned with Letters upon receipt whereof my Lord prepared with all expedition to returne to England That mourning that my Lord intended to remove being at Masse in his Closet he Consecrated the Chancellour of France a Cardinall and put his Hat on his head and his cap of Scarlet and then tooke his journey and returned into England with all the expedition hee could and came to Sayne and was there nobly entertained of my Lord Stanes who was captaine of that place and from thence went to Callis where he stayed a while for shipping of his goods And in the meane time hee established a worke to be there kept for all Nations But how long or in what sort it continued I know not For I never heard of any great good it did or of any Assembly of Merchants or traffique of Merchandize that were brought thither for so great and mighty a matter as was intended for the good of the Towne This being established he tooke shipping for Dover and from thence rode post to

of some they wonne and to some they lost And having viewed all the Ladyes they returned to the Cardinall with great Reverence pouring downe all their gold which was above two hundred crownes At all quoth the Cardinall and casting the Dye he wonne it whereat was made great joy Then quoth the Cardinall to my Lord Chamberlaine I pray you goe tell them that to me it seemeth that there should be a Nobleman amongst them that better deserves to sit in this place then I to whom I should gladly surrender the same according to my duty if I knew him Then spake my Lord Chamberlaine to them in French declaring my Lord Cardinalls words and they rounding him againe in the eare the Lord Chamberlaine said unto my Lord Cardinall Sir quoth he they confesse that among them is such a Noble personage whom if your Grace can point out from the rest he is contented to disclose himselfe and to accept of your place most willingly With that the Cardinall taking good advise went amongst them and at the last quoth he it seemeth to mee that the Gentleman with the blacke beard should be he and with that he rose out of his Chaire and offered the same to the Gentleman with the blacke Beard with the Cup in his hand But the Cardinall was mistaken for the person to whom he then offered his Chaire was Sir Edward Nevill a comely Knight and of a goodly personage who did more resemble his Majesties person then any other in that Masque Then the King tooke his seat under the cloath of Estate commanding every person to sit still as they did before And then came in a new Banquet before his Majestie of two hundred dishes and so they passed the night in Banquetting and dancing untill morning which much rejoyced the Cardinall to see his Soveraigne Lord so pleasant at his house CHAP. IX Of the originall Instrument of the Cardinalls fall Mistris Anne Bullen NOw you shall understand that the young Lord of Northumberland attended upon my Lord Cardinall who when the Cardinall went to Court would ever have conference with Mistris Anne Bullen who then was one of the Maides of Honour to Queene Katharine insomuch that at last they were contracted together which when the King heard he was much moved thereat for hee had a private affection to her himselfe which was not yet discovered to any and then advised the Cardinall to send for the Earle of Northumberland his Father and take order to dissolve the Contract made betweene the said parties which the Lord Cardinall did after a sharpe reprehension in regard he was Contracted without the King and his Fathers knowledge Hee sent for his Father who came up to London very speedily and came first to my Lord Cardinall as all great Personages did that in such sort were sent for of whom they were advertised of the cause of their sending for And when the Earle was come hee was presently brought to the Cardinall into the Gallery After whose meeting my Lord Cardinall and he were in secret communication a long space after their long discourse and drinking a cup of Wine the Earle departed and at his going away he sate downe at the Gallery end in the Hall upon a forme and being set called his Sonne unto him and said Sonne quoth he even as thou art and ever hast been a proud disdainfull and very unthrifty Master so thou hast now declared thy selfe wherefore what joy what pleasure what comfort or what solace can I conceive in thee That thus without discretion hast abused thy selfe having neither regard to me thy Naturall Father nor unto thy naturall Soveraigne Lord to whom all honest and loyall Subjects beare faithfull obedience nor yet to the prosperitie of thy owne estate But hast so unadvisedly ensnared thy selfe to her for whom thou hast purchased the Kings high displeasure intollerable for any Subject to susteine And but that the King doth consider the lightnesse of thy head and wilfull qualities of thy person his displeasure and indignation were sufficient to cast me and all my posteritie into utter ruine and destruction But hee being my singular good Lord and favourable Prince and my Lord Cardinall my very good friend hath and doth cleerely excuse me in thy lewdnesse and doe rather lament thy folly then maligne thee and hath advised an order to be taken for thee to whom both I and you are more bound then we conceive of I pray to God that this may be a sufficient Admonition unto thee to use thy selfe more wisely hereafter For assure thy selfe that if thou dost not amend thy prodigalitie Thou wilt be the last Earle of our house For thy naturall inclination thou art Masterfull and prodigall to consume all that thy Progenitors have with great travell gathered and kept together with honour But having the Kings Majestie my singular good Lord I trust I assure thee so to order my succession that thou shalt consume thereof but a little For I doe not intend I tell thee truly to make thee Heire for thankes be to God I have more boyes that I trust will use themselves much better and prove more like to wise and honest men of whom I will choose the most likely to succeed mee Now good Masters and Gentlemen quoth he unto us it may be your chances hereafter when I am dead to see those things that I have spoken to my Sonne prove as true as I now speake them yet in the meane time I desire you all to be his friends and tell him his faults in what he doth amisse wherein you shall shew your selves friendly to him and so I take my leave of you And son goe your wayes unto my Lord your Master and serve him diligently And so parted and went downe into the Hall and so tooke his Barge Then after long and large debating the matter about the Lord Percies assurance to Mistris Anne Bullen it was devised that the Contract should bee infringed and dissolved And that the Lord Piercy should marry one of the Earle of Shrewsburies Daughters And so indeed not long after he did whereby the former Contract was broken and dissolved wherewith Mistris Anne was greatly displeased promising that if ever it lay in her power she would doe the Cardinall some displeasure which indeed she afterwards did But yet he was not altogether to be blamed for he did nothing but what the King commanded whereby the Lord Piercy was charged to avoyd her company And so was she for a time discharged the Court and sent home to her Father whereat she was much troubled and perplexed For all this time she knew nothing of the Kings intended purpose But wee may see when Fortune doth begin to frowne how shee can compasse a matter of displeasure through a farre fetcht Marke Now therefore of the grudge how it began that in processe of time wrought the Cardinals utter destruction CHAP.
