his departing time being come when the Prince attiring her selfe in her w●nted mourning garments and shaping her countenance to her former sorrow throwded her pleasures past and thus we will leaue them returning to our Affirian● sayling on the Sea Chap. XXIIII How after the tempest was past the soldans Armie assembled togither came against Constantinople where by the Emperours power they were discomfited the King of Balisarca his sonne Gueresin and 〈◊〉 other great Lords of Turkie slaine THe tempest which had thrown Palmerin on Hercu●es pillars after many lōg and contagious stormes began n●w to cease the Sea béeing faire and calme and the windes very quiet whereupon the king of Balisarca General of the Armie in short time assembled togither the most part of his Fléete and came vpon the Coast of Natolia where hée attended the rest of his Foystes and Galleyes And hauing there ●●ayed about fifteene dayes among all the Shippes that came hée could heare no ●●dings of Palmerins Carrick the long slay wherof caused him to doubt least he had vnhappily 〈◊〉 in the Sea and ouercome with excéeding gréefe hee thus began Ah gentle Palmerin the flower of all Chiualrie in lucklesse howre didst thon betal●e thy selfe to the Sea what answere shal I make the Soldane for the 〈…〉 the Prince Olorico béeing so especially committed to my trust Nowe cannot Fortune 〈◊〉 so fauourable to vs as she would for by thy losse I vtterlye despayre of expected victorie To cut off these 〈◊〉 complaints he was counselled by the Lords Knights and auncient Captaines to sette forward to Cōstantinople to discharge themselues of their promise to the Soldane least in returning without dealing with the enemie they should be reputed for fearefull faint-harted ●owards Setting their sailes to the wind at length they came to the Bosphor Now was the Emperour veri● aged and sickly hauing altogither committed the superintendaunce of the Empire to his sonne Caniano who had a son aged ●eaurntéene yéeres named Cariteos And being aduertised of the comming of so manie Assiri●ns Turkes and Moores hée sent to all the Christian Princes for succour the greater parte whereof was there as nowe arriued with resolute determination to welcome these Infidels When the Emperours scoutes had espied the enemi● to enter the straight yong Cariteos beholding the Knightes on all sides some on the walles and other in the Fielde came and knéeled before his Graundfather earnes●lye desiring him to graunt him his Knighthood For my Lord quoth he a better time and occasion cannot be then newe The aged Emperour graunted his request and with the teares in his eyes said In the name of God my Sonne maist thou receiue thy order and to the glorious maintenaunce of the Christian faith albeit thy youth forbids thée to venture so soone Presentlye arose the yong Knight Cariteos and clasping on his Helmet was the first that went foorth of the Cittie accompanied with tenne thousand Horsemen and twentie thousand Footemen to hinder the landing of the enemies which a great while hee did with such valour as the Hauen was channged with the bloud of the slaughtred The King of Balisarca hearing thereof commaunded his Archers to their taske 〈◊〉 shafts 〈◊〉 so thicke in such multitude as it were the Hayle that falleth from the Cleudes and on the other side hée gotte thi●tie thousande men on land who assayled the Christians so 〈◊〉 as yong Cariteos was slaine and a great 〈◊〉 of noble personages which was the cause that the Christians retired to the verie Gates of the Citie The Prince Caniano aduertised of his sonnes death and the great daunger wherein the 〈◊〉 issued foorth of the Cittie with eight thousande Horsmen and foure thousand hardie Archers who like hungry Tygers ranne vpon the Turkes beating them to the earth in such heapes as twelue thousand of them were slain at this encounter and the rest repulsed backe to their ships where many entred for sauegard of their liues and a great number were miserably drown●d in the Sea At this mishap the King of Balisarca was greatly e●●ged who with his power presently went on shore the fight enduring so cruell and bloudie thrée howres space as neyther side could be reputed likeliest of victorie In this encounter ended their liues the King of Balisarca his Sonne Gueresin and a great number of Cailiffes and Taborlanes of Turkie and of the Christians the Prince Caniano with diuers other great Princes and Lords whose deathes are to this day lamented in Greece yet were the Pagans and Christians so animated one against another as darke night was the cause of their seperation When the Emperour vnderstood the death of his Sonne and Nephew hée was readie to die with conceit of griefe but séeing the necessitie of the time required other matter then sorrowing teares and vnprofitable lamentations hée presently dispatched Postes and Messengers to haste● the succour was comming from Christendome In short time arriued a mightie Christian power and despight of the Turkes entred the Cittie when the Emperour presently sent tenne thousand into the Field and prouided a signall for the other to set fire among the Turkishe Fléete at what time they receiued the signe from the Cittie The Infidelles séeing the Christians to sallie abroad left their Shippes and came to méete them whereupon the Christians diuided themselues into squadrons and running furiously on the Moores Arabies and Assirians made such hauocke and slaughter of them as happie was he coulde best defend himselfe Then suddainly was the signall of fire made on the highest stéeple in Constantinople to the Emperours power wasting on the Sea which immediately launching among the Turkish Fléete suncke the greater part of them and burned the rest with their wilde fire When the Turkes beheld this stratageme and that they were now destitute of any helpe they beganne to faint so that at the comming of the Emperour who came himself vpon them with a fresh sallie of fiue thousand men they were all slaine except a fewe that escaped into Galleyes that brake from the rest vpon fight of the pollicie Great was the spoyle gotten by this conquest which the Christians taking with them entred Constantinople where they gaue God thankes for their happie victorie But although the Emperour sawe his enemies vanquished after the Princes were departed that came to his succour right gréeueus was the losse of his Sonnes to him wherefore his Lordes aduised him to send for his da●ghter the Quéene Griana and King Tarisius her husband and to commit the gouernment of the Empire to him For the accomplishment of this generall determination the Duke of Pera was appointed Lord Ambassadour being one of the most auncient Princes of Greece who accompanied with many noble Gentlemen made such expedition in his iourney as hée arriued in Hungaria before the King and his Quéene Oriana whose sorrowes may not be expressed for the death of her brother When they vnderstood the Emperours pleasure they resolued on their obedience which caused the

Knights with her hand gesture gaue a signe of her content which was not a little welcome to Trineus Then the Quéene comming foorth of the Chappell with Ag●ola her traine mounted ●n horsebacke taking their wa●e to the Courte againe but when Trineus had lest the sight of them w●●derfull vexations began to assaile him so that hee saide to Palmerin Ah my good Fréende howe happie may that man account himselfe whose fortune honors him with the beauty of Ag●iola Ah Sir Palmerin I féele my self so excéeding lie tormented as I doubt my death will be ineuitable But tell me the trueth and dissemble not how thinke you of my Mistresse is shee not a Ladie more then diuine In good faith my Lord said Palmerin what the Knight in Fraunce told vs was but fables in that she excéedeth report beyond all opinion notwithstanding it is necessary for you to nourish your hope hauing thus spoken to her and bewrayed your afflictions not doubting but this good beginning of your enterprise will cause the ende fal out to your content So rode on these thrée Knights pleasing their humors with their seuerall iudgments of their Ladies yet Palmerin had séene such matter in English Agriola as but his plighted promise to Polynarda was of force sufficient to change hys fancie The next daie they arriued at the King of Englands Campe where because they would not be known they pitched their Tents behinde all y● other and soone after came the Duke of Tin●riel bringing with him a number of hardie men at Armes so that in short time y● Kinges strength was such as they excéeded their enemies in number Héerevpon the King assembled his counsell and concluded that the next daie they woulde goe séeke out the King of Scots wh● in two encounters had the vpper hande which made him so peremptorie as he perswaded himselfe vtterly to cōfound the King of England who raysing his power followed so dill●gentlie as the third daie after he encamped within halfe a mile of his enemie that had besieged the Towne of Corfania and had brought it readie to yéeld but that the King preuented it by the strength he brought CHAP. XLVII Of the cruell battayle betweene the King of Englande and the King of Scots WHen the King of Scots vnderderstoode the comming of the King of England and that in all hast he would bid him battaile he wold no longer busie himselfe in besiedging Corfania but retired a litle for his better aduantage cōferring with his Capitaines about their present affaires concluding to offer the ennemie no skirmishes because thereby they would know their intent notwithstanding he gaue order to prepare for battaile because he knewe the King of England came for no other purpose The Englishmen not suffering the Scots to haue anie leysure to fortefie themselues were by the King the next morning commaunded in array and all winges squadrons appointed the Duke of Tintriel was made leader of the auaun●garde wherein likewise were Trineus Palmerin and Ptolome and to the Dukes Brother was committed the charge of the arrieregarde and béeing all ready to martch on the King himselfe beganne this Oration I thinke my Fréendes that no one of you but sufficientlie is acquainted in what respect we continue this warre namelie to defend the honor and reputation of our Realme and to saue the liues of you your wiues and children and your goods which the enemie wold violently spoile and take from you intending to throwe perpetuall bondage and slauerye on your necks Will you not then defende your liberties will you not maintaine your auncient renowne which is to bee Lords and commaunders of the Scots assure your selues that howe str●ng soeuer our enemie be I hope with y● aide of God your vndaunted courages and the right of our cause to make a noble and victorious conquest For I knowe that our enemie hath not one man in his Armie endued with such an intire hart and magnanimious courage as you are nor that valueth his title of honor with his life as you doo and therefore if we martch on valiantlie continuing resolute and confident togeather euery man laboring for his Prince Countrey fréende and fellow and God for vs all your forwardnes will make them fearefull and your verie countenances enough to conquere Euery manne then bee chéerefull with a desire to vanquish and héere I vowe to you on the worde of a King that if Fortune stande so well with vs as to winne the daie neuer shall the Scots héereafter dare to lift vp thēselues against vs. Thus did the King of England animate his men and so martched on in good araie to the sight of their enemies who by this time hadde ranged themselues for battaile their auauntgarde conducted by the Marques of Monthel the King of Scots himselfe in the maine battaile and the arrieregarde led by the King of the Isle Magdalen and as the King of England had encouraged his Souldiers so began the King of Scots to harten his men in this manner The time is nowe come loyal Subiects and déere Fréendes that the pride of the English must bee abated by the vertue and valoure of the Scots so that if you set before your eyes the occasion calling vs to the fielde there is no one of you but will blame his predecessor for staying so long time to recouer what by true patrimonie belonged to them and by the Kings of Englande tirannous vsurpers againste all right violentlye taken from our Auncestors Will you not then recouer you losse and reenter on those possessions from which your Fathers against all reason were expulsed Duetie doth chalenge it at your handes béeing the good not onely for your selues but for your children and successors Would you then loose so good oportunitie to reestablish things so lost Are your harts more timorous then your enem●es are your mindes made of worse mettall then theirs No no wel am I assured that the least among you is of higher vertue and account then the best in their cōpanie If it hath béene their custome as they themselues vaunt to tryumphe ouer vs let vs learne them to confesse with patience that they haue no such right or custome to vanquish as in thrée skirmishes alreadie we haue sufficiently made knowne with what fortune and vnconquerable spirits you entertained your enemies Dismay no more nowe my good Fréendes then you haue doone let eache-mans sworde make his entraunce amidst his foes and fauour one anothers life so shall swéete successe returne you with victory The King hauing ended they discerned the English power eager to encounter and ●o the Armies méeting began a dreadfull and dangerous battaile There might you heare the Dr●●mnes thunder the Trompets sounde the Clarions ring the Phifes warble Launces shyuered Knights di●●noūted Foo●men scattered heads defended armes and bodies wounded some crying other dying a matter more then lam●ntable to beholde and so long continued this cruell and bloodie conflict as the most part of the

XLVIII How Palmerin Ious●ed against Tomano Drumino and their knights whome he all dismounted and what entertainment the king Abimar and the wise Nigromancer Muzabelino made them BY this time is the princesse with Palmerin and her companie come to the place where the pauillions were erected and not séeing the Piller they passed on wherefore Tomano sent a Damosell to declare the conditions of the passage Palmerin feigning himselfe somewhat wearie made this answer Damosell you may saye to the Prince and his knights that the Princesse Zephira is not in our guarde as the Lady he fights for abideth with him Nor comes she hither to he fought for rather doth she intreat him to spare vs the Ioust in that it will be small honor to him to conquer knights ouerlaboured in trauaile and whose horses are not able for that exercise The Damosell certifying the Prince of this aunswer he grew into anger swearing they should not passe before they tryed their fortune wherefore hee sent the Damosell againe who thus spake to Palmerin Sir knight your excuses may not serue you you must eyther Ioust or leaue the Princesse behind you Trust me Damosell answered Palmerin sorrie woulde I be to accompanie her so far and leaue her in the custody of one I know not did your Prince shewe more courtesie if woulde agrée much better with his order but because he shall not think that we refuse the Iouste through feare or cowardise say hee shall haue his desire both he and all his shall try their fortune ere wee passe further This answer returned to the Prince Drumino first shewed himselfe in the Fielde and by importunate intreatie certaine of the Princesses Knights would first try their valour but such was their ill fortune as Drumino vnhorsed them one after another Zephira somewhat offended heereat intreated Palmerin eyther to win them passage or else with his successe she was content to staye Prisoner I goe Madame quoth Palmerin and Fortune spéede mee as I regard the safetie of your honor Muzabelino hauing acquainted the King with this pastime they came in habits disguised to beholde it at what time the Prince Drumino encountred Palmerin But not to hold you with tedious discourse considering which way the victorie is intended the twe Princes and all their knights were manfullye foyled by Palmerin The Ioust béeing ended and the king returned again to the Cittie Muzabelino came to Palmerin and hauing saluted him with great reuerence thus spake Woorthie Lord who onelie deseruest the name of chiualrie let mee intreate you to excuse the kings Son who to make proofe of your valour by my meanes attempted this noble aduenture from which you haue escaped with great honour and to their shame that made the challenge What are you Syr said Palmeiin that know me so well and the cause why I came into this Countrey Your Fréend Muzabelino quoth he whome you haue taken such paines to finde and who knowing you to be a Christian will kéepe you from all dangers among these Mahumetistes Palmerin suddainlie allighting from his Horsse came and embraced him saying Noble Fréend suffer mée to kisse your hand as a witnesse of my reuerence to your honourable age Not so my Lord answered Muzabelino rather suffer me to doo my dutie to that incomparable person by whose meanes ere sixe Monethes be past the greatest nobilitie in the world shall receyue incredible honour While these courteous ceremonies endured the conquered Princesse with her Ladies came from the Pauillion and saluting Palmerin with great courtesie sayde Sée héere Sir Knight the Lady who trusting in your honourable benignitie commeth to submit her selfe at your disposition béeing woonne with more choyse chiualrie then euer any other Ladie was Notwithstanding I hope that you will not refuse to graunt me one demaund according to the conditions agréed in the Ioust Palmerin séeing her so discréet and modest so sumptuous in apparell and accompanied with so manie Ladies iudged that she was the Kings Daughter and Wife to the Prince Drumino wherefore entertaining her verie graciously hée thus replyed Unfitting it is faire Ladie that a Princesse of so high and speciall qualitie shoulde bée subiect to a poore and vnknowne Knight and though the agréement of the Ioust bee such yet do I humblie thanke you for this honour bequeathing you to your former libertie and restoring you to him that hath best right to you A thousand thankes worthie Lorde said the Princesse now I se'e the words of Muzabelino to my father are true that the Knight who conducted Madame Zephira as in chi●alrie hée surpasseth all other so in sranke ininde and ltberalitic hée hath not his seconde which was the chéefest cause why I aduentured my selfe in this hazarde of Fortune Madame quoth Palmerin if the wise Muzabelino hath vsed any speach of mée in mine absence and to my honor it procéeded not by my vertue but his good will in so ●●●ing which if I liue I will one day acknowledge Right welcome are you saide the Princesse and faire Zephira the rather for your sake and such be the houre of your arriuall héere as you may obtaine the ende of your desires Zephira humblie thanked the Princesse Tomano Drumino and all the rest embracing Palmerin thinking it no dishonour to b● conquered by him they mou●ted all on horsebacke and comming to the Cittie founde the King there readie with an honorable traine to receiue them who saluting the princesse Zephira verie kindly said No maruell Madame if you durst vndertake so long a iourney hauing y● only knight of Fortune in your companie as my Sonnes
