A83691	The fore-runner of revenge being two petitions, the one to the Kings Most Excellent Majesty, the other to the most Honourables [sic] Houses of Parliament : wherein is expressed divers actions of the late Earle of Buckingham, especially concerning the death of King James and the Marquesse Hamelton, supposed by poyson : also may be observed the inconveniences befalling a state where the noble disposition of the prince is mis-led by a favourite / by George Eglisham ...	Eglisham, George, fl. 1612-1642.; Charles I, King of England, 1600-1649.	1642 (1642)	Wing E256; ESTC R206483	16,502	17

dissembler having heaped so many honours daily upon the Marquesse even to the very last making him Lord high Steward of his Majesties house and Judg of the very Court whom he had made before Vice-roy of Scotland for the time of the Parliament in Scotland Earl of Cambridge privie Councellor in England and Knight of the Garter as if hee had raised him to all these honours that the murthering of him might be the lesse suspected to proceede from him The Kings nature hath alwayes beene observed to have beene so gracious and so free-hearted towards every one that hee would never have wished the Marquesse any harme unlesse that Buckingham had put great jealousies and fea●s into as minde for if any other had done it he would have acquainted his favourite therewith And then was it Buckinghams duty to remove from the King such smistrous conceits of the Marquesse as the marquesse hath often done of Buckingham upholding him upon all occasions and keeping the King from giving way to introduce any other favourite wherefore Buckingham in that diversion of the crime from him hath not onely made the King but also himselfe guilty of the Marquesses death But Buckinghams falsehood and ill intention was long before rightly discovered when he did what he could to make the E. of Nethersdale and my Lord Gordan both neere kinsmen of my Lord Marquesse so incensed at him that they had like all three to have killed one another if it had not been that my Lord Marquesse by his wisdome did let them all know how they were abused If any dissimulation be greater then Buckingams let any man judge For when my Lord Marquesse his body was to bee transported from White-hall to his house at Bishops-gate Buckingham came out muffed and furred in his Coach giving out that he was sicke for sorrow of my Lord Marquesse his death but as soone as he went to his house out of London before his comming to the King he triumphed and domineered with his faction so excessively as if he had gained some great victory And the next day comming to the King put on a most lamentable and mournefull countenance for the death of the Marquesse No greater victory could he have gotten in his mind then to have destroyed that man who would have fetched his head off his shoulders if he had out lived King Iames to have knowne his carriage in the poysoning of him in his sicknesse wherefore he thought it necessary to remove the Marquesse beforehand The same day that my Lord Marquesse died Buckingham sent my Lord Marquesse his sonne out of Towne keeping him as prisoner none could have private conference with him untill his marriage of Buckinghams Neece was compleat but either my Lord of Denbigh or my lady of Denbigh or my Lord Duke of Buckingham or the Countesse of Buckingham was present that none could let him understand how his father was murthered Even your petitioner himselfe when he went to see him was intreated not to speake to him of the poysoning of his father which he did conceale at his first meeting because their sorrow was too recent But he was prevented of a second meeting neither would Buckingham suffer the young Lord to go to Scotland to see his Fathers Funerals and to take order with his friends concerning his fathers estate for feare that their intended marriage should be overthrowne This Captivity of the young Lord Marquesse lasted so long untill that Buckingham caused his Majesty King CHARLS to take the young Lord with himselfe and Buckingham into St. Iames his Parke discharging all others from following them and there to perswade and urge the young Lord without any more delay to accomplish the marriage with Buckingham his Neece which instantly was performed so that Buckingham trusteth and presumeth that albeit the young Lord should understand how his father was poysoned by his meanes yet being married to his Neece he would not stirre to revenge it but comport with it To all that is observed before it is wothy to be added that the bruit went through London long before the Lord Duke of Richmonds death or his brothers or my Lord of Southamptons or of the Marquess that all the Noble men that were not of the Dukes faction should be poysoned and so removed out of his way Also a Paper was found in Kings Street about the time of the Duke of Richmonds death wherein the Names of all those Noblemen who have dyed since were expressed and your Petitioners Name also set next to my Lord Marquess of Hameltons Name with these words to embalme him This Paper was brought by my Lord Oldbarrs Daughter Cousin german to the Lord Marquess Likewise a Mountebanke about that time was greatly countenanced by the Duke of Buckingham and by his means procured Letters Patents and Recommendations from the King to practise his skill in Physick through all England who comming to London to sell Poyson to kill man or beast within a yeare or half a yeare or two yeares or a moneth or two or what time prefixed any man desired in such sort that they could not be helped nor discovered Moreover the Christmas before my Lord Marquess his death one of the Prince his footmen said That some of the great ones at Court had gotten Poyson in theis belly but he could not tell who it was Here your Honours considering the premisses of my Lord Duke of Buckingham his ambitious and most vindicative nature his frequent quarrels with my Lord Marquesse after so many reconciliations his threatning of the Physitians not to speak of the poyson his triumphing after my Lord Marquesse his death his detaining of his son almost prisoner untill the Marriage was compleat with his Neece the preceding bruit of poysoning Buckingham his Adversaries the Paper of their Names found with sufficient intimation of their death by the conclusion of the word embalming the Poyson-monger Mountebank graced by Buckingham may suffice for ground to take him and torture him if he were a private man And herein your Petitioner most earnestly demandeth Justice against that Traitor seeing by Act of Parliament it is made Treason to conspire the death of a Privie Councellor Out of this Declaration Interrogatories may be drawne for Examination of Witnesses wherein more is discovered to begin withall then was laid open at the beginning of the Discoverie of the poysoning of Sir Thomas Overbury Concerning the poysoning of King JAMES of happy memory KING of GREAT BRITAINE THe Duke of Buckingham being in Spaine advertised by Letters how that the King began to censure him in his absence freely and that many spake boldly to the King against him and how the King had intelligence from Spaine of his unworthy carryage in Spaine and how the Marquesse Hamelton upon the sudden news of the Princes departure had nobly reprehended the King for sending the Prince with such a young man without experience and in such a private and sudden manner without acquainting the Nobility or Councell
