The second circumstance is this That the said Charles as elder brother Archduke of Austrich and King of Spaine sailing by sea thence into the Netherlands Anno 1517. taking possession of those Countries for his owne behoofe within two yéeres after that is to say Anno 1519. on the 28. of Iuly was elected at Frankford in Germanie both King of Romanes and Emperour of Germanie by the name of Charles the 5. Emperour and so continuing in magnificent and memorable honour and renowne many yeeres gouerned those Countries yet not without some seueritie as it is said Much like the Eagle which seeming naturally to affect her young ones will yet nourish them with great austeritie Although euen in his time for the Religion of the Gospell the ciuill broyles beginning in Germanie he sought by his great wisedome and grauitie to appease the same yet happily liued he after this in great honour and felicitie for he liued and saw his foresaid younger brother Ferdinando chosen Caesar at Colen Anno 1530. and on the fift of Ianuary 1531. crowned King of the Romanes who became an earnest fauourer and furtherer of the Gospell He liued also and saw the felicitie of his lawfull begotten sonne Philip both Duke of Burgundy Archduke of Austrich and King of Spaine Anno 1542. but he liued not to see the life and death of his base begotten sonne Don Iohn de Austria who died as afterwards shall appeare in this historie Anno 1578. To be short he liued yet to see his

wall There was slaine Captaine Spencer and some few others and Captaine Goodwin shot through the face The same day in parley time a Spaniard shot at an Englishman and was hanged therefore by the Enemie In this parley the Enemie desired to haue faire warres with vs. Saturday the fourth of May they made a breach in the West side of the Corunna foure of our men making an assault retired againe without hurt The same day Captaine Young being dangerously shot died soone after Sunday the fift of May they assaulted the breach filled vp by the Enemie to the hurt of some of our armed men Two Captaines shot thorow and Captaine Breyton hurt Captaine Sydenham slaine and one Cuckfoot an Ensigne to Sir Francis Drake Monday the sixt of May Iohn Kempston Marshall of the Ordenance was slaine with a shot from the high Tower Tuesday the 7. of May we marched foorth nine Regiments vpon the Enemie which had encamped themselues at a towne called Faro foure English miles from the Corunna our men charged on them being eight thousand and tooke their bridge there On either side the bridge our men entred the water draue them away killed some Colonels wanne their Towne victuals and prouisions fired the rest of their Villages néere draue them to retreite pursued them in chase thrée miles or more and slew of them in all thrée hundred at least of vs Captaine Cooper was slaine and not aboue thrée moe There were only hurt of our chiefe Commanders Sir Edward Norice and Captaine Hender who recouered both thereof and Captaine Fulford who died thereof Of those Spaniards at Faro was chiefe Don Iuan Pacheco Marques de Guasto and Gouernour of all Galizia who fled on horsebacke with the formost Wednesday the 8. of May our Sailers went on shore ranged the countrie burned and spoiled aboue fiue miles returning with some victuall and pillage without any resistance The same night the Non per illa was fired about fiue of the clocke by negligence in the harbour of Corunna and about twelue of the clocke that night the Merchant Royall was fired sixe men blowne vp with powder and some few hurt besides without more harme praised be God Thursday the 9. of May we raised our siege from the Corunna fired some of their ships in the harbour burnt and rased the base towne and Mils vp to the high towne and so embarked away thence that night Friday the 10. of May we set saile from the Corunna and that day about noone met with vs againe sixe saile of our Fléete which at our setting foorth parted from vs about the Coast of France Tuesday the 14. of May we doubled Cape finister the winde then at the East Saturday the 22. of Iune we departed from Vigo in Galizia to goe towards Peniche From Peniche the Armie came to Lisbon where they staied some two or thrée daies expecting the comming of the Fleete to Lisbon of which preparation and stay there Sir Anthony Wingfield writeth thus It may be demaunded saith Sir Anthony Wingfield writing vpon this voyage why a matter of so great moment should be so slenderly regarded as that the Generall should march with such an Armie against such an Enemie before he knew either the fulnes of his owne strength or certaine meanes how he should abide the place when he should come to it Wherein saith he I pray you remember the decrées made in the Councell at Peniche and confirmed by publike protestation the first day of our March That our Nauie should méete vs in the Riuer of Lisbon in the which was the store of all our prouision so the meane of our tariance in that place which came not though we continued till we had no munition left to entertaine a very small fight We are also to consider that the King of Portugall whether caried away with imagination by the aduertisements he receiued from the Portugals or willing by any promise to bring such an Armie into his countrey thereby to put his fortune once more in triall assured the Generall that vpon his first landing there would be a reuolt of his subiects whereof there was some hope giuen at our first entrie to Peniche by the manner of the yéelding of the Towne and Fort which made the Generall thinke it most conuenient speedely to march to the principall place thereby to giue courage to the rest of the Countrey The Friers also and the poore people that came vnto him promised that within two daies the Gentlemen and others of the countrey would come plentifully in within which two daies came many moe Priests some very few Gentlemen on horsebacke but not till we came to Torres Vedras where they that noted the course of things passed might somewhat discouer the weakenes of that people There they tooke two daies more and at the end thereof referred him till our comming to Lisbon with assurance that so soone as our Armie should be seene there all the inhabitants would be for the King and fall vpon the Spaniards After two nights tariance at Lisbon the King promised a supplie of thrée thousand foote and some horse but all his appointments being expired euen to the last of a night all his horse could not make a Cornet of 40. nor his foote furnish two Ensignes fully although they caried three or foure Colours and these were altogether such as thought to enrich themselues by the ruine of their neighbours for they committed more disorders in euery place where we came by spoyle then any of our owne So while wée staied at Lisbon wée both failed of the aide which the King Don Anthony promised vs and wée expected and also because our English Fléete came not vnto vs thither to Lisbon wée rose vp thence and went for Cascayes where méeting with our Fléete wée returned altogether into England where some of vs ariued at Plimmouth others at Portsmouth and others at London in the beginning of the moneth of Iuly Anno 1589. aforesaid Here endeth the Iournall of the Portugall Voyage A Iournall of the Honourable seruice by the renowmed Knight S. Iohn Norie Generall of the English and French forces performed against the French and Spanish Leaguers in Fraunce 1591. THis morning being Sonday my Lord Generall with Sir Henry Norice Captaine Anthonie Shirley Maister William Deuoreux c. tooke Post-horses at London to ride to South-hampton where in taking order for shipping for diuers considerations his Lordship staid vntill Sonday the 25. day Monday the 26. dict we embarked and fell downe with the shipping to Portesmouth where his Lordship staid that night at Captaine Richard Wingfields house Tuesday morning the 27. dict we set sayle being of vs in all 23. ships and other small vessels and hauing a scant shifting winde at north and north east we cast an anchor before Saint Helenes poynt in the Wight Wednesday morning about ten of the clocke being vntill then becalmed wee hapned of a small gale of wind blowing N. N. west

exploit against the Spaniards at the Fort of Coryzon leauing this towne inuested by the Marshall and thrée of our English Regiments commaunded by his brother Sir Henry Norice our Lieutenant Generall himselfe only with his owne Regiment and his owne companie of horse marching towards the Fort and lodged that night at Croyzon And the next day sate downe before the Fort. Thrée daies were spent in vnshipping bringing vp the Artillerie which were fourtéene péeces whereof the Marshall furnished but two Culuerings and in making of approches which was greatly hindred by the want of Gabions Pioners and other prouisions for the making of platformes which we hoped by promise to haue had in a readines sent vs from the Gouernour of Brest but our Generall could procure almost nothing from thence but with many difficulties by reason of the weather The fift of this moneth we had newes that the Marshall and Sir Henry Norice had Quimper yéelded vnto them The sixt of this moneth the Enemie made a sallie out vpon our trenches but were very brauely beaten home againe with the losse of seuen or eight of their men but yet this their losse was very vnfortunately answered by the death of Captaine Anthonie Wingfield our Sergeant Maior generall being shot with a Cannon out of the Fort as he stood by the Gabions with his Rapier drawne the which with the shot was beaten through his bowels This man with great reputation had long time serued her Maiestie both in the Low Countries Portugall and Fraunce and at his last going into Britaine so disposed of his estate as if he were neuer to returne and the same day or the day before his death tooke such order for his debts as if he had a presage of his end The next day the Marshall D'Aumond and Sir Henrie Norice with our English Regiments came to vs from Quimper and were quartered at Croyzon thereabouts After whose comming foure daies were spent in mounting of the Artillerie planting of our Ordenance and making of platformes for them to play On the 12. day the Enemie made a sallie vpon the French trenches who hauing not the leisure to arme themselues lost betwéene thirtie and fortie men and as many hurt and from thence they aduanced themselues towards our trenches where wee lost in their defence ten or twelue men but we did put them againe in possession of their trenches Hauing now all things readie for the batterie I will as well as I can describe vnto you the Fort. You shall vnderstand that more then two parts of the Fort was defended by the water the rest was made so excéeding strong as either by arte or charge could be done On the South front thereof on each corner were two exceeding strong Bastions that on the West side was seuentéene paces in the front that on the East side tenne paces the Curtaine betwéene both was 37. foote thicke at the top and within these they had made a very large intrenchment and the Bastions were excéeding well flanked from the Rocke by the water side planting both on the flankers and bastion some great Ordenance We lay entrenched within thrée or foure paces of their Counterscarp the Frenchmen on the East side and wée on the West side the batterie lay in the midst betweene the trenches These things thus prouidently ordered by the Marshall and our Generall on the 23. our Artillerie began to play and continued some seuen hundred Cannonodos but did so little harme by reason of the strength of the place as scarse any shew of a breach appeared onely wee did beate away their parrapete and some of their flankers whereupon some hundred men commaunded by Captaine Lyster were sent to view and see if they could hold the Counterscarp Then many of our braue men and gallants thirsting after honour desirous to doe somewhat further hauing possessed themselues of the Enemies Counterscarp which onely they were commaunded to attempt vndertooke the breach which they performed so well as that notwithstanding the vnsatiablenes of the place and the great resistance the enimie made Yet the most part of them attained to the verie top thereof which they held for a while but were afterwards repulsed This enterprise was with wonderfull great resolution and valour seconded by S. Thomas Baskeruil who likewise got so farre as the point of the breach There were lost in this attempt manie braue men namelie Slaine in the assault Captaine Barker Captaine Prudder Captaine Iackson Sergeant Maior of Ostend who had no charge there Haynes Ensigne to sir Henry Norice Corporall Essex M. Throgmorton and some 16. or 18. souldiers Hurt in the assault Captaine Audley Captaine Bartley Captaine Couch Captaine Goodwins Lieutenant Captaine Williams Lieutenant Captaine Bucks Lieutenant other priuate men Burned with Powder Sir Thomas Knowles Captaine Ashendon Captaine Bishop Lieutenant Larkeley Captaine Lopeley Maister Waineman and diuers others You are to vnderstand that this attempt was onelie made by the Englishmen on the bastion of the west side for the Frenchmen neuer attempted any thing against their Bastion aleaging that it was not Assaultable The Marshall and our Generall seeing the little effect that our Artillerie wrought deuised to make a mine on one of the bulwarks namelie on the East bastion towards the French trenches in perfecting thereof some 17. or 18. dayes were spent But on the 30. being an exceeding wet morning whereby our powder and match were not fit for seruice the enimie againe found thereby oppertunitie to fall out vpon the French trenches and killed so betweene twenty and thirty of them at the least among whom was Mounsier Lyscot a verie braue gentleman one of the Marshals of the Campe who was abandoned by the French and their trenches wholie possessed by the enimie but our English men did presentlie repossesse them of their trenches and killed some of the Spaniards Our nation lost an exceeding great friend of this Mounsier Lyscot he exceedingly loued our Generall as if he had bin his owne father and generallie fauoured all English men and gaue vs the reputation to be verie braue souldiers By the seauenth of Nouember our mine was reasonable well perfected and a determination held againe to begin the batterie with a resolution that so soone as the myne should be blowne vp which was made towards the bulwarke by the French trenches that the Frenchmen should assaile that part and the Englishmen their Bastion and that others with scaling ladders should make attempts in euerie corner so that the defendants should be on euery part assailed But the Marshall being that daie sicke sent in the morning for our Generall and shewed him his letters from the Gouernour of Rennes and from diuers others by which he was advertised that Iohn Don Ioan de la Auquilar Generall of the Spaniards was marching towards Croyzon with all his Spanish forces to rescue the fort was alreadie aduaunced to La-cornan a village within fiue leagues

their passage euery where againe planting his Ordenance and Munitions round about Heyl to besiege it so it happened that Parma was constrained winter comming on to dismisse his hoste and furnishing with conuenient forces of their Garrisons the Castles of Heymert and Heyl and other his defences he departed to the mouth of the Riuer Deynsa adioyning néere vnto the towne of Sherteghanbusch The Duke of Parma in this yéere 1589. was ouertaken by a grieuous disease or sicknes many were the causes supposed to be thereof namely and first that on the tenth day of Nouember 1588. as he was riding from Berghen to Machlin he fell off from a bridge into the water Vnto which chance happened many other euils such as were the sorrow which he conceiued by the euill successe of the Spanish Nauie in the inuasion of England a little before in that last yéere 1588. And the siege of Berghen from whence hee was enforced to depart without any thing done by him Also that by the Duke of Pastrana and the Prince of Ascoly many things were spoken and done to his reproch and disdaine And again because he vnderstood that certaine letters of Exchange as they call them sent by him into Spaine by the instigation of some euill willers which perchance he there had were neither receiued nor yet the money for them paid when those letters mentioned that the money amounted vnto 100000. Ducats wherefore he laboureth greatly by some meanes to satisfie the Italian Merchants and about the same time deceased his Vncle by his fathers side called the Great Cardinall Farnesius by whom he had great helpe and furtherance To be short therefore he falling sicke in the moneth of May 1589. all vnhealthie and heauie in plight then departed to Spada a Fountaine in the land of Luke there to vse the benefit of a Bath taking his lodging at Montfort or in the towne adioyning where he dranke the waters of Spada or Spau for his health sake and liued after that vntill the 12. day of Nouember 1592. and then died in the citie of Arras in Artoys one of the seuenteene Prouinces of the Netherlands Thus farre translated out of Emanuel Meteranus his Belgic Historie A BRIEF DISCOVRSE OF THE MEMORABLE VOYage to Portugall Anno 1589. by Sir Iohn Norice and Sir Francis Drake Knights with the English forces INprimis to the glory of God and honour of her Maiestie be it specially remembred that the two Generals aforesaid made certaine orders in number 14. for the Souldiers and Mariners going to sea and other 54. orders for the Captaines Souldiers and Sailers during the voyage to be by them and euery of them duly and dutifully obserued and performed Their Nauie consisting of Shippes great and small and of men set forward from Plimmouth the 17. of Aprill Anno 1589. to the sea The Admirall The Arke Sir Iohn Norice Sir Francis Drake two Generals The Vizadmirall The Golden Lyon Captaine Thomas Fenner The Rereadmirall The Dreadnot Captaine William Fenner The sixe principall Masters of the Quéenes Ships Thomas West Robert Wignald Iohn Bennet Robert Hart Roger Tallent Richard Burnet The fiue Colonels of the fiue Regiments in the Nauie and Armie Sir Iohn Norice Sir Francis Drake Sir Roger Williams Sir Edward Norice and Captaine George Fenner The fiue Lieutenants Colonels of the fiue Squadrons Captaine Thomas Drake Captaine Sachuile Captaine Garton Captaine Goring and Captaine Winter The fiue Captaines of the Watch of the fiue Squadrons and their Corporals Captaine Web of the Reuenge Captaine Champernoune of the Non per illa Captaine Gifford of the Dreadnought Captaine Norwood of the Foresight Captaine George Drake of the Swiftsure Corporals Captaine Young Captaine Seigar Captaine Thomas Baker Captaine Wilde Captaine Cripse The seuen Commissioners Iohn Sachuile William Winter Alexander Musgraue William Fenner Thomas Drake Iames Lancaster Iohn Goring The Secretary of the Nauie Master Anthony Ashly The Surueyor generall of the victuals Master Marmeduke Daryell The Treasurer of the Nauie The Viztreasurer Master Stalling The Surueyor of the Nauie Captaine Ro.

WEdnesday the 17. of Aprill 1589. they embarked at Plimmouth Tuesday the 23. of Aprill they fell with the Coast of Galizia Wednesday the 24. of Aprill they landed at a little Hermitage East side of the Corunna or Groyne supposed 12000. strong From thence to Andyas where they had a small skirmish with no losse to the English The 25. of Aprill being Thursday our men wasted and burned in the countrey what they could with fire and sword Saturday the 27. of Aprill they assaulted the base Towne of the Corunna and wonne it with small losse to them and the Enemie retired into the high Towne not aboue seuen Ensignes strong as was thought Sunday the 28. of Aprill they so battered a great Galeaz wherein Ricaldo serued the last yéere 1588. as Viz-admirall of that Nauie sent into England that the Spaniards now not able to kéepe her discharged her Ordenance fired her and ranne her on ground with no hurt to vs at all The same day they went from Andyas to the base Towne of the Corunna where they found much Béefe Salt Meale Wheate Oyle Fish and Wines as was thought to victuall 40000. men a quarter of a yéere besides Gables Hempe Rosen Waxe Pitch Tallow and other things for shipping store which was leuied for a new force to haue come into England this Summer But in fourtéene daies there was hardly one bit of bread wine or other victuals to be had in any quarter of the Towne except by some priuate officer or Captaine The same day the Enemie lying not farre off thence presented a Brauado before the Towne gates against whom when our men sallied foorth without more adoe or any encounter they fled and twelue of them were slaine Monday the 29. of Aprill our men summoned the high Towne who refused all parley There all the Spaniards that our men could gather after they had taken them they slew to the great amazing of the Enemie beholding the same That night the Spaniards desired parley and not long after fired certaine houses néere their vpper towne walles Wednesday the first of May 1589. our English laid their battery vnto la Corunna the great where through the weakenes of the Rampier betwéene our great Ordenance and the Enemie which fell downe with oft shaking they were driuen from their péeces by the enemies Musquet shot from the towne

would forsake his trecherous course and become a faithfull obedient subiect He answered with great protestations that he was sorie for his offence and that there was no Prince in the world whom he did or would more honour and reuerence then her Maiestie neuer naming her Highnes but with his hat off all which shewes of obedience in him made many beléeue that he meant to become otherwise then since he hath proued himselfe But those that haue liued long in that countrey amongst them know by experience that they are a people full of malecontentment inconstancie rebellion and treason desiring no other gouernment but their owne rude barbarous and disordered kinde of life and manners most horrible and odious to all that feare God obey their Prince and loue their Countrey It was euer doubted by Sir Iohn Norice and to be beleeued of euery one that know the Rebell Tyrone that he neuer meant to be faithfull in his word wherefore his trecherous delaies could not be imputed to any remisse course held by Sir Iohn Norice towards Tyrone But there is no question had Sir Iohn Norice liued he would haue made it appeared vnto the world as he hath done heretofore that the zeale he did beare to doe her Maiestie and his Countrey seruice was such as that priuate malice in crossing him shuld neuer haue had power either to make him faile in the least point of his alleageance or to burie any of his honourable intended enterprises I haue heard him say my self and so haue others which now liue in Ireland that if he could but hope that the Rebel Tyrone would vnfainedly accept of her Maiesties grace and mercie towards him and that he the said Sir Iohn Norice might haue béen the instrument to haue perswaded him to become a faithfull subiect he would not haue cared what labour or paines he endured to be assured thereof It was thought that the prosecuting of Feugh Mac Hugh was contrary to the Articles agreed vpon betweene the Commissioners and the Rebell Tyrone and it should appeare that he disliked thereof For after his pardon was sent him by Sir Edward Moore and he in all things to the shew of the world readie to haue accepted thereof on the sudden his pardon was brought backe and he returned excéedingly discontented After the time of this last treatie with Tyrone which was in the latter end of Ianuary aforesaid he remained vpon the borders of the North still expecting direction how to procéed in those Northerne affaires which continued from the moneth of Ianuary aforesaid 1596. vntill the moneth of May in the yéere 1597. following for the space of foure moneths At which time he the said Generall Norice receiued aduertisement out of England that the Lord Borowes should come ouer Deputie into Ireland So vntil his comming the Generall kept himselfe vpon the borders of the North. It was thought at the Lord Borowes comming ouer the old grudge would be renewed but I think that matter was carried into England before the Lord Borowes departed thence For that after their méeting contrarie to the expectation of many Sir Iohn Norice caried himselfe very discréetly and respectiuely towards him besides that he made knowne vnto him the state of the countrey at that present together with his best counsell and aduice for the reforming of the desperate estate that then the kingdome was left in In so much as it was thought before Sir Iohn Norice his going into his gouernment of Munster that they were both good friends But now vpon the Lord Borowes his receiuing of the Sword Sir Iohn Norice was absolutely sequestred from all commaund except that of the Prouince and so sent downe into Munster with an opinion to get leaue to passe into England But that fell out contrary to his expectation So he hast ouer three moneths with a shew of his health although inwardly he felt his owne griefe And thus the cause of his conceiued griefe was the hastening of his death and so iudged of by most men which knew the same The manner of his death was answerable to his honourable life and knowne to some of his seruants and followers who now with great griefe must rew it He died the third day of September 1597. at his Brother Sir Thomas Norices house in the towne of Mayallo in the Prouince of Munster within the kingdome of Ireland at the 50. yéere of his age hauing spent 26. of them being the most flourishing time of his life in her Maiesties seruice against her enemies in the Netherlands Spayne Portugall France Britaine and Ireland as particularly before and here finally is mentioned The Honourable Lord Henry Norice Baron of Rycot father of the said Lord Generall had fiue sons moe all Martiall men vz.
