shoulde bee iii. Myles out of his Realme Wherat the kyng was sore abashed and not without good cause For a kingdome deuyded in it selfe cannot be quieted without great trouble and bloodshed And the saide Cardinall bare so great a swaye that the king durst not come into Englande according to his appointment It is thought that the Cardinal feared lest the king of Englande would haue perswaded the kinge of Scottes to abolyshe the Popes aucthoritie out of Scotlande and to alter the state of Religion and therefore was not willing that this meeting shoulde be betweene the two kinges King Henry perceiuing him selfe to be thus deluded by the king of Scottes conceiued therof great discurtesie as he myght ful well Notwithstanding he went forwarde him selfe with all his trayne to yorke and made Proclamation that if any man had any matters to exhibite vnto his grace that they shoulde be heard and haue Iustice administred which accordingly hee accomplished to as many as came before him And whereas there had bene an insurrection in the same countrey a little before this tyme The king comaunded that all the Rebelles which were apprehended shoulde be placed before him on the lefte hande of his waye as he passed thorough the countrey and hauing set the countrey in good order he returned to London againe The Cardinall of sainct Androes who as is before saide caused the king of Scottes to breake promise with his vncle king Henry for doubt least that discourtesie might be reconsiled to make hys matter sure set the two kinges at open warre and caused the Scottes to make a roade into the borders who spoyled and did much harme Wherof when king Henry hearde he sent the Duke of Norffolke with an Armie into Scotlande who burned and spoyled muche of the countrey But when the Duke was departed from thence into Englande The Scottes inuaded the borders againe did theare muche harme But at the last Sir Thomas Wharton beeing warden of the marches there with Sir William Musgraue and a fewe of the borderers met with the Scottes the 14. of Nouember and ouerthrew them In which conflict the Lorde Maxwell the Earles of Glencarue and Sassiles with all the captaynes of the Scottish Armie were taken and on S. Thomas eeuen the Apostle they were brought to the Tower of London where they laye that night The next day following they were brought into the starre Chamber before the Lorde Chaunceller of England and the Counsaile being by the kinges charges rychely apparailed and vsed more like Princes then prisoners which they did full euil requite For after they were dismissed vppon agreement vnto certein articles they not only refused the performance of their promises but notwithstanding the benefites on them bestowed by the king they rebelled against him But nowe to returne againe vnto their kinge It is thought of some men that he him selfe was in the Battaile and thear receiued his deathes wounde but escaped vntaken but it was not so True it is that this conflict stroke him to the hart wherof he dyed incontinently Whereby we may bee sure that God strooke the stroake And whether it were that God who stryketh to the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate him did it for his fathers offence or for his owne I maye not nor will not iudge But no doubt his fathers vngodly periurie was heauily in his mynde since whose death the Realme of Scotlande hath bene sore plaged and haue had little good successe in any attemptes and especially against Englande The tirste that brought newes of the kinge of Stottes death vnto king Henry was the Earle of Angoes a Scott who was banished out of Scotlande and lyued here in Englande by a pencion that the king gaue vnto him This Earle came into the Courie the king then lying at hys house of Sainct Iames betweene tenne and xi of the clocke at nyght and desyred to speak with the king which being vnto him admitted he rehearsed vnto the king the whole circumstance of the king of Scottes death Whiche when he hearde he was so sorie of that newes that notwithstanding he warred against him yet he let fall teares from his eyes for sorrowe of his Nephewes death ¶ The Lamentation of king Iames Sonne vnto king Iames before mentioned WHat hard mishap haue I among the rest Whose froward fate vntimely deth hath wrought While youthfull yeres did harbour in my brest My wretched corpes to lodge in claye is brought By haples chaunce contrary to my thought But who is sooner trapte by witched wyle Then he whose harte is free frem craltie guyle Shall I exclayme on fortunes frowarde face Or on the wombe that life to mee fyrst gaue Or on my Fathers facte whose foule deface Hath caused mee this luckelesse lot to haue Would god my mothers wombe had ben my graue Or els the Ayre that yelded mee fyrst breath With sodayne dampe had rendred present death Woulde God my Fathers facte had beene vndon When he made vow a faythfull leage to holde Or els I woulde I had not beene his Sonne But rather borne to pen the Sheepe in folde My Father in this poynt was far too bolde Whereby he moude almighty GOD to spill Him selfe and me his Sonne that thought no ill What may I deeme of this my Fathers deede Whereof I grounde the chiefe cause of my playnte What stonie harte for pittie will not bleede To see how death this pageaunt doth depainte In floure of age our liues so to attainte The Father and the Sonné sucessiuelie The Realme eke plagde for one mans periurie I can not scuse his rage and hautie pride That forced mee my vnkle to offende Who courteousely my comming did abide In frendlie wise a time with ioye to spende I was constraynde my owne minde to vnbende The Prelasie then bare so great a swaye That king and keiser must their mindes obaye I was constraynde contrarye to my will Reuengement on the English Realme to take And eke of Mars his lore to learne the skill Where I lyke Phaeton my match did make My foes mee rulde my frendes I did forsake Though I was king another bare the sworde Whome I durst not offende in deede ne worde I call for vengeaunce on thy wretched lyfe Thou Prelate proude that hast procurde my fall Thou were the cause and aucthor of the strife I was thy Prince and yet I was thy thrall Take heede therefore by mee ye Princes all Where enuious subiects beares so great aswaye The Princes state is like for to decaye Such men they are as fyrst do stier vp stryfe But they them selues of sauegarde will be sure Their deedes are scant their words are very ryfe They rayse the broyle the brunte they not endure Yet bloody warre they dayly do procure And prease foorth Princes to auenge their yre Whyle they them selues with gredy minds aspire Lo by this meanes my fatall shrouding sheete Is now my weede no other robe haue I The graue is

And althoughe there was a solemne meetyng betweene the Kynges of these sayde Realmes and also betweene the Emperoure and Kyng Henrie in the yeare of oure Lorde 1520. Yet because my Anothor was not there to note anye thing more then is already mentioned by Halle in his Cronicle and was present at this that foloweth I haue vsed his enstruction herein referring thee to the aforesayd Cronicle to reade of the other whereas it is very well described ¶ Howe King Henry and the King of Fraunce met together betweene Calice and boloigne by a place called Morguison 1532.

greate eche other then do greete The thing that bothe Realmes long desyrde at that tyme myght you viewe The order of which ioyfull sight hereafter doth ensue ¶ The declaration of the meeting of these two noble kinges at the place aboue mencioned ALthough there was bluddie warre and mortall hatred betweene the realmes of Englande and Fraunce in the fifth yere of this kings raigne in whiche yere the king of Englande wan from the Frenche men the towne of Turwin and the great citie of Turnay as is before declared yet for the concluding of a perfect peace betweene bothe the Realmes the same yere a Mariage was made betweene the king of Fraunce and the Ladye Marye sister vnto the king of England but shortly after the saide king of Fraunce dyed and the Duke of Suffolke maryed the Queene his wyfe A peace also was concluded betweene the young king of Fraunce and the king of Englande And within a whyle the Citie of Turnay was rendred vnto the Frenche king For the whiche he shoulde paye to the king of Englande a notable summe of Money But this amitie did not long continue for the Frenche king refused to paye his tribute to the king of England and also detayned the Queenes dowrie And moreouer caused all Englishemens goodes to bee arrested at Burdeaux whereupon the Frenchemens goods were arrested at London and they cast in Prison But in fine in the xix yere of the king his raigne a generall peace was proclaymed betwene the kinges of Englande and Fraunce during bothe their lyues And defyaunce sent vnto the Emperour from bothe the kyngs and a great power sent into Italy againste the Emperour who then warred with the Pope and constayned him to take a Castell wherein he remained as prisoner vntill the Armyes that the kinges of Englande and Fraunce had expelled the Emperours power out of that parte of Italye The circumstance whereof ys very largely declared by Sleydon This peace taken betweene the kinges of Englande and Fraunce continued a good whyle vnuiolate In whiche meane-tyme the Ambassadour Ledger of Fraunce that then laye in London grewe in suche fauour with kynge Henry that he was often tymes admitted to sit in presence with the king This Ambassadour made humblesuite vnto the kinges grace that hee woulde vouchesaue to meete with the kynge of Fraunce his Master in some conuenient place to salute eche other declaring that it woulde bee an occasion to knitt them togeather in the insoluble knott of perfect frindship and amitie Whereunto the king of Englande willingly condiscended and agreed And the rather because the Frenche king appointed to haue met with the Pope at Marsiles by meanes wherof king Henry hoped that the Frenche king might perswade the Pope to some conformitie in the controuersie of his deuorce from the Ladye Katherin wherefore he requested the sayde Ambassadour so to informe the kynge of Fraunce his Master which he nothing slacked to do And in conclusion a tyme was appointed when these twoo noble kinges shoulde meete by a place called Morguison whiche is betweene two greate hilles and the midway betwixt Callice Boloigne According to the apointment the king of Englande set forwarde and came to Callice The Frenche king lykewise lay at Bolloigne and on the appointed day they bothe met by the sayde place called Morguison with a noble trayne of Dukes Earles Lordes Knightes Gentlemen on both sydes And while these noble Princes embraced eache other a Bishop of Fraunce threwe off a cast of great Hawkes called Sakers which Hawkes being cast off killed a Kyte ouer the kinges heades to the great pleasure of bothe the kinges Then passed they forwarde with Princely pastymes vnto the towne of Boloigne where was greate preparation and noble tryumphes to entertaine and welcome the King of Englande When king Henry had passed certaine dayes at Boloigne with moste royall solace and pleasure he Inuited the King of Fraunce to the lyke at his graces towne of Callice who in lyke maner came vnto Callice with king Henry where as his former entertainment vnto the king of Englande his trayne was noblye acquyted And whyle these two royall Kinges were thus at Callice the king of Heraldes came vnto king Henries grace declaring vnto him that according to the auncient custome and also being parcell of hys othe he

rescue of our besieged menne Sauing that syr Wadam Selinger and master Windam with a rewe Gentlemen and three hundreth Souldiers verie ventrousely brake thorough the ende of the Frenche Armie and brought with them Matche and powder which was to our men greate comforte The scarcitie of victuals among them was so greate that they were constraynde to eate horses dogges cattes and rattes And yet neyther the want of clothes nor the extremitie of the plague which was hoat amongst them nor the lacke of munition nor the sharpe sawce of hunger coulde beate downe the stowt courage of the Englyshe men to yelde vp the towne And yet these extremilies before mentioned made them looke more lyke owgle Monsters then humayne men But their worthie and valyant capitaine Sir Iames Wilford was such a one as was able to make of a cowardly beaste a couragious man. During this tyme the Lorde Graye being at Barwike was very carefull for them that were at Hadington but wanted powder to sende to the ayde of them Notwithstanding he sent xiii hundred horsemen vnder the conduction of Sir Robert Bowse and Syr Thomas Palmer not meaning that they shoulde offer any battayle as some being deceiued affirme but to make a showe to comfort the Englishe men withall that then were comfortlesse And thinking that vpon the syght of them the French Scottish armie would remoue farther of But they presumyng further then their commission gaue a charge on their enemies and they being all horsemen as is aforesaide were by the Frenche and Scottishe footemen enuironed and euery man of them one onely excepted slayne taken prisoners to the great greefe of our men at Hadington And yet coulde not all this subdue the hartes of them but lyued in hope And at the laste came the Earle of Shrewsbery with xvi thowsand freshe Souldiers to Hadington At whose comming the Frenche and Scottishe armye left the siege went to Edenborovv But to see the order of this meeting would moue the harte of anye man to vtter affeccions with teares The Earle let fall teares from his eyes to see that suche valyant men shoulde suffer suche distresse whose stowt hartes coulde not bee conquered with any afflictions On the other syde our wearied Souldiers sent out the fountaynes of their eyes for ioye to see their deliuerance at hand Thus with mournfull and ioyfull embrasinges they met And the Earle came into the town and supplyed the want both of menne munition and victualles and shortlye after retourned to Englande againe leauing the towne well prouyded Now it fell out whyle the Frenchemen were at Edenborovve there grewe such debate betweene them and the Scottes that they fell to bickeringe within them selues and the Frenchemen flewe certaine Scottes Whereof when the Englishemen hearde they thought that then they myght betake them selues to a little rest for they had none a great whyle Then they sent out their Scoutes and a Watche and so went to suche lodginges as they had But Mounseur de Termes to reconsile the matter againe betweene his men and the Scottes promysed the Scottes that he woulde winne vnto them the towne of Hadington without any more delaye And when the Englishemen thought least of their comming they came and killed the watche the Scoutes were entred in at the bace courte of the towne before the Larum was geuen The Englishemen perceiuinge this soddeine irruption made no delayes to encounter with them But went thorough a priuie Posterne gate into the bace courte among them with the blacke Bill slewe of them by estimation v. hundred or more and droue the rest that escaped ouer the walle as Sheepe before a Dogge that happie was he that coulde tumble ouer firste Thus they retourned with great losse and no lesse shame making no boste of their bargaine I should haue noted before of a pretie accident that happened at this siege which is this When Mounsieur Dassey came firste to the ayde of the Scottes he was enformed by the Scottes that there were but a fewe Rascalles white cotes at Hadington and neyther Gentlemen nor good Souldiers Whereupon he requested the olde Queene of Scottes that then was at Edenborovgh to go to a little Nunnerie that was but a myle from Hadington and thear shee shoulde see the slaughter of all the Englishemen So shee went to that Nunnerie to beholde the performaunce of this promise And when shee came thither shee might see the verye streates of the towne for it standeth verye lowe The Englishe men vnderstanding of her being in the Tower of the saide Nunnerie shott off a great Iron peece they had which Gunne they called Roring Megge for the terrible noyse that it rendered and the Pellet hit part of the Tower that the Queene was in whereat shee made haste downe as it was hygh tyme rode posting to Edenborough without seeing anye harme done to the Englishe menne And Mounsieur Dassey founde other maner of fellowes theare then Rascalles and white cotes as him selfe reported geening greate commendations of the Englishemen theare Nowe to returne againe to the Canuasado before mentioned When our menne had geeuen the Frenchemen that ouerthrowe in the nyght they gaue the nexte Morning three sharpe assaultes to the towne and yet tooke the repulse with greate losse of their menne For they caried away xvi Cartes and Wagons laden of dead carcases because they should not be known besydes three hundred that were founde in the base court afore mencioned You haue reade what scarsitie of victuales was among them before and what pennurie they sustayned Wherefore at the laste there was made sufficient prouision to victuall the garrison but not without greate charges for it was alwayes brought by conuoye whiche was with greate strength conducted and neuer without skirmishe For it was alwayes brought thorough the towne of Dunbar and in the Castell of Dunbar laye a garrison of our enemies And on a tyme our Capitaine Sir Iames Wilforde went to meete with the conuoy at Dunbar whiche is viii myles from Hadington and had with him but xii menne And when he had saluted the Lorde Wardon who then came with the conuoy the garrison of Dunbar Castell came forth made a shewe in the field Then sayde the Lorde Warden vnto Sir Iames Wilforde beholde how prowdly your neyghbours stand before vs Yea quoth Sir Iames if I had but a fewe of my men more with mee I woulde offer them some playe If you will geeue a charge on them saide the Lorde Warden you shall haue as many of my men as you will. But because sir Iames had no experience of their hardinesse hee was lothe to trust vnto them Notwithstandinge in fine he saide that if they woulde followe him hee woulde make a gappe thorough them They promised not to shrinke So there were about 300 appoynted vnto him and he went before them galoping thorough the town in the face of the Castel And the shott came so sharpely from the
