himselfe accordingly to perfourme and solemnize this charge in his owne person The King being crowned was royally brought to the Cathedrall Church of that Metropoliticall See On either hand of him both the right and the left did two Archbishoppes support him And fower Kings to wit Angusell King of Albania Caduall King of Venedocia Cador King of Cornewall Sater King of Demetia went before him carying iiii golden Swords The companies also and concourse of sondrie sorts of officers played afore him most melodious heauenly harmonie On the other parte the Quéene was brought to the Church of professed Nunnes being cōducted and accompanied with Archbishops and Bishops with her Armes and titles royally garnished And the Quéenes being wiues vnto the fower Kings aforesayd caryed before her as the order and custome was fower white Doues or Pigeons For behold twelue discréete personages of reuerend countenance came to the King in stately maner carying in their right hands in token and signe of Ambassage Oliue boughes And after they had saluted him they deliuered vnto him on the behalfe of Lucius Tyberius Letters contayning this effect ¶ The Epistle of Lucius the Romaine Lieutenant to Arthur King of Britaine LVcius Gouerner of the Commonwealth to Arthur King of Britaine as he hath deserued I haue excéedingly wondered to thinke of thy malepert and tyrannicall dealing I doe meruaile I say and in considering the matter I am angrie and take in ill part the iniurie that thou hast offered to Rome and that thou no better aduising thy self refusest to acknowledge her Neither hast thou any care speedelie to redresse thyne ouersight thus by vniust dealings to offend the Senate vnto whom thou art not ignorant that the whole world oweth homage and seruice For the Tribute done for Britaine which the Senate commaunded thée to pay for that Iulius Caesar and other worthie Romaines long and many yéeres enioyed the same thou to the contempt of such an honorable Estate hast presumed to detaine and kéepe backe Thou hast also taken from them Gallia thou hast wonne from them the Prouinces of Sauoy and Daulphinie thou hast gotten the possession of all the Ilands of the Ocean the Kings whereof so long as the Romaine authoritie was there obeyed payed Tribute to our Auncestors Sith therfore the Senate hath decréed to redemaund amends and restitution at thy hands for these thy so great wrongs I enioyne and commaund thée to come to Rome in the middest of August the next yéere thexe to answere vnto thy Lords and to abyde such sentence and order as they by iustice shall lay vpon thée Which thing if thou refuse to doe I will inuade thy Countries and whatsoeuer thy wilfull rashnes hath disloyally taken away from their Commonwealth that will I by dint of sword assay to recouer and to them restore ¶ Cador the Duke of Cornewall his Oration to the King I Haue hitherto bene in feare least the Britaines through much ease and long peace should growe to flouth and cowardize and lose that honorable reputation of Cheualrie and martiall prowesse wherein they are generally accoumpted to surmount all other Nations For where the vse of Armes is not estéemed but in stéede therof Dyeing Carding dalying with women and other vayne delites frequented it cannot choose but there cowardize and sluggardie must néedes dimme and deface all vertue honour valiaunce and fame There bee now almost fiue yéeres passed since we hauing lacked Martial exercise haue effeminately bene nuzzeled in these foresayd delites God therefore not willing to see vs any longer marred and stayned with sluggardie hath stirred vp the Romaines that they should be the meanes to reduce our auncient valour vnto the former state and dignitie While hée vsed these and such like wordes confirmed by those that were there at that tyme in presence they came at length to their Benches or Seates where after that euery person was set and placed Arthur vsed this spéech vnto them ❧ The Oration of Arthur to his Lords and people MY fellowes sayth he and companyons both of aduersitie and prosperitie whose fidelities I haue heretofore both in your sound counsels and in exployting militare seruices had good tryall and experience of listen now and affoord vnto me your aduise and wisely foresee what you thinke conuenient for vs touching such demaunds and commaundements to be done For when a thing is wisely aforehand deliberated and carefully foreseene when it commeth to the pinch it is more easilie auoyded and tolerated We shall therefore the easier bee able to abyde the imperious demaund of Lucius if wee lay our heads together and foresee how and which way wee may best defeate and infringe the same And surely for my part I doe not thinke that we haue any cause greatly to feare him sith vpon an vnreasonable cause he seeketh to haue a tribute payed out of Britaine For he alledgeth that the same is due and payable to him because it was payd to Iulius Caesar and others his Successors which being inuited and called hether through the discorde and iarres of the auncient Britaines arriued here in Britaine with numbers of armed Soldiours and with force and vyolence brought vnder their subiection this our Countrey miserably tossed with ciuile garboyles and domesticall discord And because they in this sort got the possession of it they haue since taken and vniustly receiued a Tribute out of it For nothing that is gotten by force and vyolence is iustly possessed by him that offered the vyolence The cause therefore which he pretendeth is vnreasonable whereby he d 〈…〉 eth vs by law and right to be tributarie vnto them Sith therfore he thus presumeth to demaund of vs that which is vniust let vs by the same reason demaund of him tribute at Rome he that is the stronger let him carie away that which he desireth and claymeth For if his reason why he demaundeth tribute now as due to be payed by vs because Caesar and other Romaine Princes sometymes conquered Britaine be good by the like reason I doe thinke that Rome ought to pay tribute to mee because my Predecessors heretofore wanne and subdued it For Belinus that most noble King of Britaines with the helpe and ayde of his brother Brennus Duke of Sauoy tooke by force that Citie and long while possessed it hanging vp in the middest of their chiefe Market place and high streate twentie of the chiefest Nobles among them Constantine also the sonne of Helena and Maximianus likewise being both of them my nere Cosens and either of them successiuely crowned King of Britaine were enthronized in the imperiall Seate of the Romaine Empyre What thinke ye now Iudge you that the Romaines haue any reason or right to demaunde Tribute at our hands As touching Fraunce or other collaterall Ilands of the Ocean it néedeth no answere sith they refused to defend them when we forcibly tooke them out of their cloutches iurisdiction The answere of Howell King of little Britaine THough
