a lawfull Victory which as he said was given him of God This King as commonly Conquerours doe abolishing forthwith all the Customes of the English Nation and most of their Laws brought in immediately his own Country Fashions and commanded that all Causes should be pleaded in French And excluding all the English that had boarn Armes against him out of their Patrimonies he disposed of all their demeanes and Fields and the rest of their Goods among his Souldiers for a Reward of their Victory reserving to himself the direct principallity and homage held to himself and his Heirs as a Tenure from the Crowne so that none but the King should be the right and true Lord of any thing Also he caused a Seal to be made for himself wherein was engraved By this acknowledge William of Normandy to be your Patron but on the other side was engraven By this Seal you must know that the same is King of England Having thus subdued the Laity he turns himself to the Clergy and made an Edict that no English Monk should be capable of any secular dignity disdaining the facilnesse of Canutus who was formerly King who had continued the honours entreating the people whom he had subdued by which Lenity the Inhabitants growing bold after his death easily expelled Forreigners and redeemed their former Liberty Then he appeased the approaching War of the Danes by giving them money that he might enjoy it peaceably at any rate And hence it was that the English were in no fear at all of the Danes who formerly so infested them yet they were not so free from troubles but that here and there arose some tumults among the people that were hardly suppressed and overcome but the windy Faction was easily dispersed The greatest matter was the Rebellion of his Son Robert in Normandy because it was most against Nature This Son at the Instigation of Philip King of France demanded this Dukedome of his Father as his proper Right and without more words enters upon Normandy by force of Armes It is true his Father had promised him this Territory but the Son was weary of delay nor would he longer forbear from the Government he looked for The King hearing of his Sons Enterprize suddenly goes against him with a strong Army they meet in Battel the Son unhorses his Father and wounds him in the arme but when he knew his Fathers Voyce alighting from his horse he raiseth his Father from the ground and kneeling down before him craved pardon for his boldnesse which he obtained presently his Father embracing him in his armes however he seemed thus to have appeased his Fathers wrath yet God never suffering such faults to escape unpunished he had no good luck ever after Having conquered the Rebels partly by Sweetnesse and partly by Sword he endeavours to enlarge his Kingdome bringing Wales under his Command and causing Malcom King of Scots to doe him homage and so adding new Countryes he in some measure rewarded England for the Crown they gave unto him Yet least the frowardnesse of his newly conquered Subjects should grow insolent he laid upon them Taxes and Tributes that differed them little from slaves seeking by all means to weed out and keep under hatches the Nobility and with continuall Battels to wast and wear out the Commonalty Only the men of Kent held their old Customes For the King upon a certaine time journeying toward Dover was handsomly circumvented by the Inhabitants of Kent carrying Boughes cut down from Trees nor would they suffer him to depart untill he had granted them the enjoyment of their ancient Customes also he was indulgent to the Londoners to let them enjoy the priviledges they had in the Time of Edward the Confessor but he forbad the Nobility ●rom hunting of Deer reserving those sports for himself only About the end of his Life he placed his two Sons Robert and Henry almost in equall power over Normandy There happened on a day a quarrel between Henry and Lewis the Dolphin of France playing at Tables which was the cause of great Contention betwixt the French and the Normans the Dolphin drawing Robert on his side enters Normandy with an Army William forthwith having his Navy ready sails into Normandy and with no difficulty reducing his Son Robert to obedience he marched to Roan that he might find the French men work When he was weary with toyiing being very fat he made a halt a while The French derided him for his fat belly speaking scoffingly that he was with Child and ready to be delivered when William heard thereof he answered If please God I ever recover of this Child-birth I will burn a thousand lights to God in token of my thankfulnesse nor was it long before he entered the Territories of France and wasted all before him with Fire and Sword Yet shortly after he fell sick and dyed at Roan His followers not only forsook him being dead but spoyled him of what he had and his body unfortunately thrice forsaken was at last let down into his own Monument at Cane in Normandy but not entire William the Conqueror Duke of Normandy after he had in Battai●e slaine Harald toke vppon him the Crowne of England He raigned 19 yeares 11 months 〈◊〉 at the age of 74 yeares And lieth buried at Caen in Normandy William the Conquerour resigns his breath Vnto a greater Conquerour grim Death I doe not say when he for England fought That any other then his right he sought But to the English he no Bowells had Whence his own Bowells served him as bad With what contempt these troublers of the World When breath forsakes into the earth are hurl'd A man may see in him who scarce could have ' Midst all his Realms friends a sorry grave As if the very Earth scorn'd to entombe The Son of so much slaughter in her Womb. WILLIAM the Second King of England WIlliam the Conquerour being Deceased the Crown of England by right of succession fell to Robert his Eldest Son but he being in Germany Lanfrank then Arch Bishop of Canterbury who by reason of his great Learning and singular vertue was in high and reverend esteeme with the people so prevailed with the dying Conquerour William the first that instead of Robert the true Heir by Primogeniture William surnamed Rufus because of his Ruddy or Red Complexion though the younger Brother was Crowned King of England Sept 9. 1087. The Beginning of his Reigne was very troublesome and unquiet For his Brother Robert took great offence at his attempt to take advantage of his absence honestly employed in his fathers service to intercept his Crown and dignity which in his Conscience belonged justly and only to him But not long after enraged Robert entered with a very puissant Army of valiant Normans and many French whom Philip their King had waged for his ayde the Confines of England resolving with his Presence to regaine what he had lost by his Absence abhorring that his Right should be
