Several Histories of France Portugal Castille and other Nations have very much laboured to finde out and discover from what Countrey and what House this Prince HENRY deduced his Original His extraction having been unknown for a long time and concerning which there hath been almost as many Opinions as Writers Some have written that he descended from an Emperour of Constantinople others from a King
Arms of Portugal Now MAUD understanding the design of the King her Husband to take another wife From France she undertook a journey into Portugal and there made her protestations and opposition against this unlawful Marriage which ALPHONSO regarded not but slightly passed over When this would not move him to Justice the Princess and her kindred of the number of which was the King St. Lewis made their appeal to Pope Alexander IV. with whom their complaint and the Princesses tears took such effect Mariana that he first mildly admonished ALPHONSO to receive again his lawful wife and forsake BEATRIX but continuing refractory and stubborn the same Pope thundred out his Excommunications against him and his Kingdom prohibiting Divine Service throughout all his Dominions under which Interdiction he lay the space of two years and to the death of MAUD happening in the Year Nunez One thousand two hundred Years of CHRIST 1262 threescore and two when the Prelates of the Kingdom so carried the matter to Pope Urban IV. that he not only removed this Excommunication but also approved the Marriage this proceeded principally from the Relation of kindred the said Pope had to the King ALPHONSO and for the peace and welfare of the Kingdom MAUD having made her last Will and Testament in the Year One thousand two hundred forty and one bequeathed unto her Husband King ALPHONSO the Summe of Twenty thousand Livets Idem beside the right she had to another Summe of Four thousand l. due unto her by the Count and Countess of Flanders Also to others she left many pious Legacies and ordered for the Executors of this her last Testament Robert Bishop of Beauùais her Cousin Matthew de Trie and others Gifts which were approved by Gaucher de Chastillon sieur de Monjay her Kinsman who had espoused Jane her daughter Mariana descended from her first Marriage Nunez Lastly His Death King ALPHONSO having lived Threescore and nine years Vasconcellius and Reigned Three and thirty finished his dayes at Lisbonne the Capital City of his Estate in the Year One thousand two hundred threescore Years of CHRIST 1279 and nineteen He received the honour of Sepulture within the Church of St. Dominick in the same place and from thence ten years after his body was transported to the Chappel dedicated to St. Vincent in the Abbey of Alcobace where lieth also Queen Beatrix of Castille his Wife Tâ—aâ—té du droit de succession sur la Portugal de la Royne Catherine de Medicis Some are of opinion that he had by the Countess of Bolongne two sons the elder of which named after him Alphonso dyed young the younger called Robert lived in France and was Count of Bolongne from whom are descended the other Earls unto Jane de la Tour who exchanged this County for that of Lauregais and had issue her daughter Magdelene de la Tour Mother of Queen Katherine de Medicis wife of Henry II. King of France The same Queen as being descended from Robert pretended a right to the Kingdom of Portugal after the death of the Kings Sebastian and Henry And at what time the Estates were assembled to Advise of a Successor to the Crown she sent her Embassadors also thither to represent her Right and Pretentions as also did several other Princes upon the same account At the same time there was published in France a Treatise which is reputed to have for Author Peter Beloy afterwards the Kings Advocate in the Court of Parliament of Toulouse concerning the right and lawful succession of the Kingdom of Portugal appertaining to this Queen Katherine Mother of the most Christian King Henry III. En Chronica des Reis de Portugal But the Castillian and Portugal Historians among others Edward Nunez will not admit of this descent of the House of Bolongne nor that ALPHONSO III. had any children by Queen MAUD his first Wife But to confound this extraction and to prove it only imaginary he grounds upon divers Circumstances and pregnant Conjectures which he particularly toucheth upon in the Chronicle of the Kings of Portugal by him published in his own Language Conjectures drawn from the time as also from the consideration of the Age of the Princess and the words of her last Testament in which there is mention made only of her daughter by the first Bed And lastly from the Contents of that Supplication Years of CHRIST 1262 presented by the Prelates to the Pope intreating his Holiness to give Absolution to their King and a Dispensation to the end that he and Beatrix might lawfully continue and live together and that their Children after them might be capable of the possession of their Estates Children of ALPHONSO III.

the Afternoon where She was received by the Nobility Gentry and multitudes of Londoners as also by the Mayor and Aldermen of that Corporation with all the Expressions of Joy His MAJESTY having received the Express of His Queens landing prepared to be gone forthwith to Salute Her upon Her Arrival But His great Affairs of State and Bills by Him to be Ratified into Acts of Parliament which were not fully ready for His Royal Assent delayed him till Monday the Nineteenth of May having sent before Him the Bishop of London who departed the Seventeenth in order to the Solemnizing of the Marriage when He took Coach from the House of Lords at Nine of the Clock in the Evening with His ordinary Guards and lodged that night at Gilford the next day His MAJESTY posted with the same speed to Portsmouth where He arrived about Noon The Queens indisposition which yet held Her in Her Chamber caused the King to satisfie Himself only with a Visit in private that day Yet it pleased God to restore Her Majesty to such a degree of health that she was soon after able to go abroad to consummate the Marriage-Rites which were there performed upon Wednesday the 21. of May by Gilbert Lord
