A07315	A monument of remembrance erected in Albion, in honor of the magnificent departure from Britannie, and honorable receiuing in Germany, namely at Heidelberge, of the two most noble princes Fredericke, first prince of the imperiall bloud, sprung from glorious Charlemaigne, Count Palatine of Rhine, Duke of Bauier, Elector and Arch-sewer of the holy Romane Empire, and Knight of the renowned order of the Garter. & Elizabeth Infanta of Albion, Princess Palatine, and Dutchesse of Bauier, the onely daughter of our most gratious and soueraigne Lord Charles-Iames, and of his most noble and vertuous wife, Queene Anne. Both of them being almost in one and the same degree lineall descent from 25 emperours of the east and west, of Romanes, Greekes, and Germans, and from 30 kings of diuers countries. By Iames Maxvvel.

the election of the Emperour namely before the Duke of Saxe a Prince of great puissance authority and command notwithstanding that both Otho the 3. Emperor Pope Gregory the 5. which did ordaine the sanction of the seuen Electors according as Blondus Polydorus Bergomensis Nauclerus Crantzius Balaeus and Egnatius do deliuer were both of them Princes of the house of Saxe for the said Emperour Otho belike considering with himselfe how that hee had done a greater wrong to Charlemaigne in bereauing his race of the Golden Crowne of the Empire by the meanes of his foresaid Electionary sanction or decree thē he had done when as he opened his Sepulcher and bereft his Corps of the Golden Crosse did hang about his neck as Ditmarus who liued in those daies doth write for the which it is said that he was in his sleepe visited affrighted with a reuengefull vision of the said Charlemaigne menacing him with death which shortly after did ensue Otho I say considering the wrong afore-said done to Charlemaigne and his Race endeauored by al meanes to yeeld them some competent satisfaction and therefore preferred the Count Palatine of the Rhine being of the Imperiall bloud and Male Race of Charlemaigne before the Duke of Saxe and the rest of the Princes of the Empire in the fore-said Election Besides that the first Emperour which was elected by the seuen Electors which was Henry the second Duke of Bauier being likewise a Prince of the Saxon bloud and afterwards enstiled Saint Henry for his singular Piety Chastity as Vrspergensis Frisingensis Egnatius Cuspinianus others do witnesse he to make yet some further satisfaction to Charlemaignes Race did both marry the daughter of Siffrid Prince Palatine named Cunegunde and did like-wise restore vnto his brother-in-law Henry the first of this name Prince Palatine the Dukedome of Banier as we learne out of Ditmarus others And it was no doubt in regard of their fore-said descent from Charlemaigne that a certaine super-Imperiall priuiledge was cōferred vnto the Palatine Prince which is as the goldē Bul of the Emperor Charls the 4. doth beare that he may in some case cite and summon the Emperor to appeare and answere before him Iudicially And because that in honor of the two most Noble Princes lately maried Frederick Elizabeth we haue drawne diuers Pedigrees descents both from glorious Charlemaigne and frō many other Emperors Kings of diuers countries cōmon to them both especially seuen therfore mee thought it good to exhibite vnto the readers a sūmary view of the same reseruing the more speciall handling thereof to another labour and worke in Latine In the first foure of the said seuen Pedigrees cōmon to both the said Princes our most gratious Soueraigne King Iames his most Noble son-in-law Prince Fredericke are in one the selfe same degree of descent from the 20 Emperors and 24. Kings therein mentioned In the fifth Pedigree our most gratious Queene Anne and the said Prince are likewise in one and the same degree of Descent From the 4. Emperours and 3. Kings therein named And in th sixth and seuenth Prince Fredericke and Princesse Elizabeth do happely and iointly fall into one and the same degree of descent from the Emperour and 8. Kings contained therein Likewise Prince Charles and Prince Fredericke two brothers-in-law are colineally descended from two-borne-brothers to wit from Henry prince Palatine and Duke of Saxe the elder of the two from whom Prince Fredericke is in the 15. degree and from Otho Earle of Yorke and Emperour the yonger brother from whom P. Charles Duke of Yorke being likewise the yonger of the said two brothers-in-law is descended both on his fathers and his mothers side in the 13. and 14. degree though as I noted other-where some do hold that he had no children by any of his wiues The first of the fore-said seuen common pedigrees containeth fifteene Emperours of Romans Greekes and Germans with eight Kings of diuers Countries as namely Germanie Bauier for anciently it was a Kingdome Hungary Boheme Sicile and England whereof two Kings are therein specified to wit Edward the elder and Henry 2. from whom P. Fredericke is descended by both his daughters to wit Maude the elder married to Henry the Lyon Duke of Saxe and Bauier and Leonora the yonger married to Alphonse the 8. King of Castile Whereby we may see that like as P. Fredericke is descended from the Kings of England so is King Iames likewise descended from diuers of the Germane Emperours especially by the meanes of his most Noble mother and the most Illustrious house of Loraine whence it doth follow that hee is capable of the Imperiall dignity as being of the bloud of Germanie and of the Empire The second common Pedigree containeth fiue Emperours of Constantinople together with seuen Kings of France Hungary Aragon Valence and Sicile The third common Pedigree containeth seuen Kings of England Scotland Ierusalem Castile France Naples and Sicile of which number are Edmond Ironside and Henry the first Kings of England besides King Henry the 2. mentioned in the first Pedigree together with Malcolme Cammore King of Scotland The fourth common Pedigree is from S. Lod●wicke or Lewis the incomparable King of France from whom King Iames and Prince Fredericke on their most Noble mothers side Mary and Lucy-Iuliane are lineally descended in one and the same degree with King Lodowick the 13. of this name being all three in the 12 degree The fifth pedigree containeth foure Emperors and three Kings of Boheme and Poland The sixth pedigree containeth seuen Kings of Arragon Valence France Nauarre England Castile and Leon of which number are Edward the 2. and Edward the 3. Kings of England and Iohn of Gant his sonne Knight of the renowned Order of the Garter Earle of Richmond Darby Leicester and Lincolne Palatine of Chester Great Constable of France and High Steward of England Duke of Aquitane and Lancaster and King of Castile and Leon from whom prince Fredericke and princesse Elizabeth are lineally descended the one by his sonne Iohn Earle of Sommerset Marquis Dorset the other by his daughter Philippa married to Iohn King of Portugale both in the tenth degree which is the eleuenth from King Edward the 3. as the pedigree I haue lately published doth shew The seuenth and last Pedigree common to both the said Princes is from Lodowicke the 5. Duke of Bauier and Emperour and his wife Margaret the Empresse and Countesse of Holland together with King Iohn of France from the which Emperour and Empresse they are both in the 12 degree So that the number of the Emperours contained in the said seuen pedigrees common to both falleth out to be twenty fiue and the number of the Kings of diuers countries therin specified is thirty and aboue and euen so many Kings besides 12. Emperours haue we found in the Princely descent of the Illustrious house of Howards as wee shall God willing shew in another

with the vigour of her vertue Her husband being returned and hauing receiued tokens from her with letters letting him to vnderstand how that he should be welcome to Cyrus he made all possible haste of comming to Cyrus his Court accompanied with a thousand horsemen in goodly array Vnto whom Panthaea hauing made report of the religion vertue temperancy continency and compassion of King Cyrus shewed in her behalfe when as it lay in his power to doe with her what he would Abradate replied saying and what wouldst thou my deere Panthaea that I did to requite these curtesies of Cyrus Who answered what shouldst thou do else my deere Abradate but follow the footsteps of his vertue in labouring to be like vnto so worthy a wight And being come before Cyrus he saith for the inestimable curtesie thou hast shewed in the behalfe of my Panthaea thy prisoner I can make thee no other requitall but offer vnto thee my selfe my friendship my society and seruice euer hereafter for the aduancing of thine honor And afterwards when as Abradate was to go to fight against the Aegyptians in the cause quarrell of Cyrus Panthaea had prepared for him a costly Chariot with most gorgeous and glorious armour which when he did put on she exhorted him to shew himselfe a stout chiefetaine for Cyrus his sake who had bin so fauourable to them With which speech Abradate being highly delighted clapping her head and kissing her lippes hee cast his eyes vpwards to heauen vsing these words Vouchsafe great Ioue that I may shew my selfe a husband worthy of such a wife as Panthaea a wight worthy of the frindship of such a one as Cyrus Who had heard this matchlesse Lady encourage her louing husband to shew all possible prowesse for the honor of Cyrus or had seene her kissing the very Chariot wherein her sweetest one did sit would haue much wondred but much more by many degrees who had heard her intreating adiuring her Nurse by her loue towards her to sow her vp in one winding-sheet with her slaine husband Or who had seene her laying his head on her lap and powring her owne heart-bloud into his wounds For when as Cyrus vnderstanding of his most worthy friends fall in the field fighting most valiantly he vsed all the meanes he possible could of comforting cheering vp his peerelesse widow Panthaea telling her how that there should bee nothing left vndone in honour of Abradate that was due vnto a most valorous and chiualrous Chiefetaine and praying her to perswade herselfe of his most feruent and constant affection both for Abradates sake and her owne he likewise prayed her to tell him vnto whom she had a liking to be carryed Who answered Doe not yee trouble your selfe noble Cyrus giue me but leaue a little more to be mourne my deere husband and yee shall know then to whom I desire to go when I haue put an end to my mourning And so it fell out within a few houres that the end of her mourning and the end of her life was all one Abradate was the man whom she loued as much as her owne soule and more then all the men in the world while he was aliue and Abradate was the man whom she loued more then her owne selfe when he was dead In one word it was Panthaea's death to be aliue without Abradate and her sweetest life to dye with her deere Abradate Panthaea thus she takes her leaue and sayes Adue deere One more sweet then Iuno's flowre To thee most due as many be thy dayes As once grew Lillies round about my bowre In Persian fields and in my Lilly-towne As many dayes weare thou the Lilly-crowne 94 When I Panthaea's Lilly-face behold Her rosie lippes her teeth of Iuory And when I looke vpon her lockes of gold And how her eyes are cleerer then the sky I call to minde our Mary Clarabell The all-grac'd Grand-dame of faire Rosimell 95 Me thinkes she lookes as Mary did that day The Lilly-prince did her so louely wed In peerelesse Paris such as saw her say That nere a sweeter Saint to Church was led In any Age in any Land or Clime For of all Princes Mary was the prime 96 Michael Eyzingerus in his Thesaurus principum most worthily affirmeth that there was in this most noble Queene a gratious kinde of contention betweene good Nature and Grace which of the two should bestow most of their perfections vpon her princely person Nature striuing to heape on her head the height of exquisite beauty and Grace on the other part replenishing her heroicall heart with the very comble and heape of vertue bounty Nature and Grace did each of them contend Which of the two should most her magnifie Both of them did their vtmost strength extend Her Minde and Body for to beautifie But her I leaue to my Muse Clarabell For to conclude with her childe Rosimell 97 Abrinsberg is a hill on the right hand of Heidelberg and both in the Dutch appellation the Latine records it is called St. Abrahams hill by Trithemius it is named also St. Michaels mount Then viewes Eliza holy Abrah'ms hill Which men do likewise tearme Saint Michaels mount And there me seemes an Angels quire doth fill Their eares with aires euen such as they were wont To warble forth when soules from sinfull wayes Turne to the path that leades to paradice 98 Abrah'm and Sarah there do seeme to meet Ioynt hand in hand as marryed folkes befits Fred'ricke and his Elizabeth to greet And then a while both downe beside them sits Talking of duties betweene man and wife Of the ardent and constant loue that should be betweene man wife the Author hath discoursed more amply in his Golden Legends of Abraham Sara Isaac and Rebecca Iacob Rahel vpon which it pleased her Grace to bestow the reading some while agoe How they should shun all iealousie and strife 99 Then blesse they them with Isaac and his mate Rebecca lou'd whom beauty did commend But bounty more they wish a happy fate Vnto them both with life that may not end Till many yeares them and their seed do crowne With highest hap amidst the Mirtle-towne 100 Liue Princely-paire in health and honour still Liue Princely-paire in concord peace and loue Liue Princely-paire to grace your Abrah'ms hill Till yee exchang't with Abrah'ms hill aboue Be honour'd all your dayes and after death Be honour'd ay Fred'ricke Elizabeth * ⁎ * THE SVMME OF DIVERS Pedigrees common to the two most Noble Princes FREDERICKE and ELIZABETH Collected by the Authour in Honour of their Highnesses IT is the common consent and constant opinion of Hystorians and Genelogians that the Palatine Princes are lineally descended from glorious Charlemaigne once the most Augustious Emperour of Romans Germanes King of France most Christian and it was chiefly in consideration hereof that they were preferred before many other Princes Potentates of great power in Germany in

worke One thing there is which the special affection I do beare to the honour of the name of Iames will not suffer me to smother vp and that is That our most gracious Souerainge King Iames the first of this name in Britanny and likewise the first Christian vniter of the two kingdomes therof and the son heire of a Matchlesse Q. Mary together with his Noble son-in-law P. Fredericke are both of them in the 13. degree of lineall descent from Iames the first of this name surnamed the Fortunate son and heire of a worthy Queene Mary and the vniting King of Aragon and Valence of whom six famous Spanish Chroniclers Rodericus Toletanus Rodericus Sanctius Alphonsus à Carthagena Franciscus Tarapha Lucius Marinius and Damianus à Goes make most honourable mention And from the same vniting King of Aragon Iames the Fortunate who was likewise the Author of two seuerall Orders of Knighthood as Polydorus Zuingerus and others do write Prince Fredericke and Princesse Elizabeth are yet another way lineally descended and that both in one the same degree of the number of fifteene It is likewise worthy of obseruation that whereas there haue beene but only two Emperours of the Palatine Family he●…●…e the one a yonger brother and Duke of Baui●… 〈◊〉 Lodowicke the 5. the other an elder brother 〈◊〉 ●ount Palatine which was Robert surnamed t●… 〈◊〉 ●hat the two Princes lately married are descended equally from them both with their Empresses Margaret and Elizabeth from the first two both in the 12 degree and from the other two He in the 9. She in the 10 degree And my hearty wish is that these two names aforesaid Margaret and Elizabeth may proue as lucky Imperially for Frederickes and Elizabeths Imperiall preferment in Germany as the same names haue heretofore done royally for King Iames their fathers royall preferment in Britanny It is also worth the noting that as there haue beene as yet but only two Emperours of the Palatine family so haue they had a very different fortune in their acceptance towards the Pope for Lodowicke the 5. Duke of Bauier and Emperour as is said before from whom Prince Fredericke is the 12 was highly hated of Benedict the 12 and before him yet more of Iohn the 22 whose name is so numerous that he might haue well said with the vncleane spirit in the Gospell my name is Legion and yet after him of a third pope Clement the 6. The which three popes most like the three Furies did no other thing else from day to day but heape hellish sentence vpon sentence of excōmunication depriuation against the good Emperour who not withstanding all their Infernall fulminations and Cerbereall oblatrations receiued more honour in Rome at the hands of both Clergy Laity there then they all three did in Auinion and in spite of the Diuell liued longer in the Empire then they all three did in the Papacy But who list to learne more of the quarrels and contentions betweene the good Emperour Lodowike and the foresaid three euill popes of Auinion let them read the histories of Blondus Sabellicus Merula Cuspinianus and Thomas Walsingham who likewise do tell how that Edward the third King of England who went ouer into Germany to salute the said Emperour to treat of an alliance with him against France was met of the said Emperour at Colein and admitted to be his Vicar generall in the Empire And the same Lodowickes father named Lodowicke the Seuere Prince Palatine together with his brother Henry Duke of Bauier had likewise chosen Richard Earle of Cornwall son of King Iohn to be Emperour like as Robert the first of this name Prince Palatine for this Title is in Aurea Bulla as well as that of Count Palatine did choose the foresaid King Edward the third to be Emperour after the death of Lodowicke the 5. though hee too modestly indeed refused the said dignity By which particulars wee may espy how that the Palatine Princes haue been in former times very officious to the Kings of England and their children hoping that they shall hereafter proue yet more officious forward in the same kind then euer they haue done before to the end that old prophesies may take effect which doe promise that the Imperiall dignity shall for many yeares continue in Britanny as our Sibylla Britannica shall largely shew The other Emperour of the Palatine house was Robert surnamed the Noble who reigned in great honor 9 yeares and 9 moneths from whom prince Fredericke is the 9. as the pedigree lately published doth shew and who was so highly beloued of pope Boniface the 9. that hee not onely furthered and confirmed his election but also granted him towards a subsidy one yeares tythes of the Clergy through all Germany as Cuspinianus and others do write So that this good Pope in doing this good office and in vsing so well the worthy Emperour did answere to his name and was a Boniface indeed farre otherwise then did Benedictus the 12. and Clement the 6 in the behalfe of the other Palatine Emperour named before And for mine owne part I wish with all my heart that many such Bishops may sit in the Apostolicall Chaire as may both in their own persons giue vnto God the things that are Gods vnto Caesar the things that are Caesars and with blessed S. Peter teach all Christians to feare God honor the King The foresaid Robert the good Emperour who was so highly beloued of the good pope Boniface the 9. was a prince renowned for his great spirit quicke wit heroicall courage for his loue and study of Iustice for the which cause he was surnamed Robertus Iustimanus for his carefull endeuouring to repaire the ancient glory of the Empire Hee came into England with a goodly company as Fabian Cooper do write in the yeare 1403. to see the magnificence of the Court and the commodities of the Countrey who of King Henry the 4. was honorably triumphantly receiued feasted and during his abode lodged at S. Iohns by Smithfield lastly conueyed towards the seaside where either departed frō other with exchange of rich pretious gifts for this Robert saith our said English Author was a prince of great bounty liberality and magnificence and shewed diuers effects thereof towards the English at his departure He was likewise the first Emperor that euer ware S. Georges renowned order commonly called The Order of the Garter as Maximilian the 2. another glorious Emperour was the eighth He was likewise the first of the three Palatines which haue ben honored with the foresaid noble Order Iohn Casimire being the second who receiued it at the hands of famous Queene Elizabeth about the same time of the yeare day of the moneth to wit the 8. of February that P. Fredericke being the third receiued it at the hands of our gracious K. Iames. The said Emperor Roberts wife was named Elizabeth the Empresse princesse Palatine and was a Lady of singular vertue piety bounty chastity charity towards the poore who brought forth to her worthy husband many fine children to wit fiue sons by the meanes of the yongest whereof P. Fredericke is descended from the said Emperor Empres in the 9. degree three daughters by the meanes of the eldest wherof named Margaret princesse Elizabeth is likewise descended from them in the 10 degree the which numbers in thē vnited make vp K. Iames his luckly number of Nineteene Thus wee see that like as our most gracious King Iames with his hopefull children prince Charles princesse Elizabeth are lineally descended from two Margarets and one Elizabeth of Britany being the renowned daughters of prince Edward surnamed the Outlaw K. Edward the 4. and K. Henry the 7. in whose tripled right the two Margarets being married to two kings of Scotland Malcolme Cammore and Iames the 4. he doth at this day happily and rightfully enioy this Crowne So are they likewise descended lineally from other two Margarets an Elizabeth of Germany to wit frō Margaret Countesse of Holland Dutchesse of Bauier Empresse wife to Lodowicke the Emperour from Elizabeth Dutchesse of Bauier princesse Palatine and Empresse wife to Robert the Emperour and sustly from Margaret Dutchesse of Loraine the eldest daughter of the said Robert the Emperour and Elizabeth the Empresse and who was married to the most noble and valorous prince Charles surnamed Marcelle or the warlike Duke of Loraine from whom I haue deriued our hopefull P. Charles his pedigree and that as well on his noble mothers as on his happy fathers side and yet more from Emperours Kings and Princes of the name of Charles to the number of 9. besides those of other names as also I haue done from P. Albert Marquise of Brandeburge who for his incomparable courage was called the Achilles of Germany wishing with all my heart that like as prince Charles was borne on his day doth participate of his bloud so he may likewise inherit his heroical prowesse and so one day be enstiled the Achilles of Britanny the which our hearty wish is more fully expressed in an Astrologicall and Historicall poem made vpon his Natiuity And thus for the present are we contented to shut vp this Genealogicall summe with this six-line-Epigram in honour of Fredericke and Elizabeth whom the God of heauen prosper and preserue Both from Augustus and Augusta spring Lodwicke-Margret Robert-Elizabeth Both in one month Ioue to the light did bring Augustus nam'd which this good presage hath AVGVSTVS fate one day must them befall And him AVGVSTVS her AVGVSTA call FINIS
