by al the states of that counttey but also a broad as namely of Maximilian the Emperor and approued also by the king of Denmarke and by al the Princes of Germany neere about that realme who saw the resonable causes which that common wealth had to proceed as it did And a litle before that the like was practised also in Denmarke agaynst Cisternus ther lawful king if we respect his discent in blood for he vvas sonne to king Iohn that reigned a fore him and crowned in his fathers life but yet afterwards for his intolerable cruelty he vvas depriued and driuen into banishment together with his vvife and three children al vvhich were disinherited his vncle Frederik Prince of Holsatia vvas chosen king whose progeni yet remayneth in the crowne the other though he were marryed to the sister of Charles the fifth last Emperor of that name and vvere of kyn also to king Henry the eight of Ingland yet could he neuer get to be restored but passed his tyme miserably partly in banishment and partly in prison vntil he dyed But it shal be best perhapps to ende this narration with an example or two out of Ingland it selfe for that no where els haue I read more markable accidents touching this poynt then in Ingland and for breuity sake I shal touch only two or three happened since the cōquest for that I wil go no higher though I might as appeareth by the exāple of K. Edwin others nether vvil I beginne to stand much vppon the example of king Iohn though wel also I might for that by his euel gouerment he made himselfe both so odious at home contemptible abroade hauing lost Normandy Gascony Guyenne and al the rest in effect which the crowne of Ingland had in France as first of al he vvas both excommunicated and deposed by sentence of the pope at the sute of his owne people and vvas inforced to make his peace by resigning his crowne into the handes of Pandulfe the popes legate as Polidor recounteth and afterwards faling back agayne to his old defects and naughtie gouerment albeit by his promise to the pope to go and make warr against the Turkes if he might be quiet at home and that his kyngdome should be perpetually tributary to the sea of Rome he procured him to be of his side for a tyme and against the Barōs yet that stayed not them to proceed to his depriuation which they did effectuate first at Canterbury and after at London in the eighteenth last yeare of king Iohns reigne and meant also to haue disinherited his sonne Henry which vvas afterward named king Henry the third and at that tyme a childe of eight yeares old only and al this in punishement of the father yf he had liued and for that cause they called into Ingland Lodouick the Prince of France sonne to king Philip the second and father to Saynt Lewis the nynth and chose him for their king and did sweare him fealtye with general consent in London the yeare of our Lord 1216. And but that the death of king Iohn that presently ensued altered the vvhole course of that designment and moued them to turne their purposes and accept of his sonne Henry before matters were fully established for king Lodowick it vvas most likely that France and Ingland would haue bin ioyned by thes meanes vnder one crowne But in the end as I haue said king Henry the third vvas admitted and he proued a very wor thi king after so euel as had gon before him and had bin deposed which is a circumstance that you must alwayes note in this narration and he reigned more yeares then euer king in Ingland did before or after him for he reigned ful 53. yeares left his sonne heyre Edward the first not inferior to himselfe in manhode vertue vvho reigned 34. yeares and left a sonne named Edward the second vvho falling into the same defects of gouerment or vvorse then king Iohn his great grandfather had donne was after 19. yeares reigne deposed also by act of parlament holden at London the yeare 1326. his body adiudged to perpetual prison in which he was at that present in the castle of vvallingford vvherher diuers both bishops Lordes knights of the Parlament vvere sent vnto him to denounce the sentence of the realme agaynst him to wit how they had deptiued him and chosen Edward his sonne in his place for vvhich act of choosing his sonne he thanked them hartely and vvith many teares acknowledged his owne vnwoorthines wheruppon he was digraded his name of king first taken from him and he appoynted to be called Edward of Carnaruan from that howre forward and then his crowne and ring were taken away and the steward of his house brake the stafe of his office in his presence and discharged his seruants of their seruice and al other people of ther obedience or allegeance toward him and towardes his mayntenance he had only a hundreth markes a yeare allowed for his expences and then was he delyuered also into the hands of certayne particuler keepers vvho led him prisoner from thence by diuers other places vsing him with extreme indignity in the way vntil at last they tooke his life from him in the castle of Barkley and his sonne Edward the third reigned in his place who if we respect eyther valor provvesse length of reigne acts of cheualry or the multitude of famous Princes his children left behinde him vvas one of the noblest kinges that euer Inglād had though he were chosen in the place of a very euel one as you haue séen But vvhat shal we say is this worthines vvhich God giueth commōly to the successors at thes changes perpetual or certayne by discēt no truly nor the example of one Princes punishment maketh an other to beware for the next successor after this noble Edward vvhich vvas king Richard the second though he were not his sonne but his sonnes sonne to wit sonne and heyre to the excellent and renounced black Prince of vvales this Richard I say forgetting the miserable end of his great grand father for euel gouerment as also the felicity and vertue of his father and grand father for the contrary suffered himselfe to be abused and misled by euel councellors to the great hurte disquietnes of the realme For vvhich cause after he had raigned 22. yeares he was also deposed by act of parlamāt holden in London the yeare of our Lord 1399. and condemned to perpetual prison in the castel of Pomfret vvher he was soone after put to death also and vsed as the other before had bin and in this mānes place by free electiō was chosen for king the noble knight Henry Duke of Lācaster who proued afterwards so notable a king as the world knoweth and vvas father to king Henry the fifth surnamed commonly the Alexander of Ingland for that

For they put them al by the crowne chose for their king Don Alonso the fourth which vvas eldest sonne to Don Ordonio the second before named that had bin last king sauing one and this man also I meane Don Alonso the fourth leauing afterward his kingdome and betaking him selfe to a religious habit offered to the commō wealth of spaine his eldest sonne lawfully begotten named Dō Ordonio to be there king but they refused him and tooke his brother I meane this kings brother and vncle to the yong Prince named Don Ramiro who reigned 19. yeares and vvas a most excellent king and gayned Madrid from the Moores though noted of crueltie for imprisoning pulling out the eyes afterward of this king Don Alonso the 4. and al his children and nephewes for that he would haue left his habit and returned to be king againe But this fact my author Morales excuseth saying that it vvas requisire for peace and safty of the realme so as heere you see two most manifest alteratiōs of lineal succession together by order of the common wealth Furthermore after this noble king Dō Ramiro the second succeded as heyre apparent to the crowne his elder sonne Don Ordonio the third of this name in the yeare of our Sauiour 950. but this succession indured no longer then vnto his owne death which vvas after 7. yeares for then albeit he left a sonne named el enfante Don Vermudo yet he was not admitted but rather his brother Don Sancho the first of this name surnamed el Gordo vvho was vncle to the yong Prince and the reason of this alteration Morales giueth in thes wordes el succeder en el regno al hermano fue por la racon ordinaria de ser el enfante Don Vermudo nīno y no bastante para el gouierno y difença de la terra Which is the cause why the kings brother and not his sonne succeded in the crowne vvas for the ordinary reason so often before alleaged for that the infant or yong Prince Vermudo vvas a little child and not sufficient for gouerment and defence of the countrey Truth it is that after this Don Sancho had reigned and his sonne and heyre named Don Ramiro the third after him for the space of 30. yeares in all then was this youth Don Vermudo that is now put back called by the realme to the succession of the crowne and made kinge by the name of king Vermudo the second vvho left after him Don Alonso the 5. and he agayne his sonne Don Vermudo the third who marying his sister Dona Sancha that was his heire vnto Don Fernando first earle then king of Castile who was second sonne to Don Sancho Mayor king of Nauarr as before hath bin said he ioyned by thes meanes the kingdomes of Leon and Castile together which were seperat before and so ended the line of Don Pelayo first Christian king of Spaine after the entrance of the Moores which had endured now three hundreth yeares and the blood of Nauarr entred as you see and so continued therin vntil the entrance of those of Austria as before hath bin said which was almost 5. hundreth yeares together And thus much I thought good to note out of the stories of Spaine for this first discent of the spanish kings after the entrance of the Moores nether meane I to passe much further both for that it would be ouer long as also for that myne author Morales who is the most diligent that hath writen the chronicles of that natiō endeth heere his story with king Vermudo the third and last of the Gotish bloode Notwithstanding if I would go on further ther would not vvant diuers euident examples also to the same purpose which Stephen Garabay an other chonicler of Spaine doth touch in the continuation of this story vvherof for examples sake only I wil name tvvo or three among the rest And first about the yeare of Christ 1201. ther was a mariage made by king Iohn of Inglād for Dona Blancha his neece that is to say the daughter of his sister Dame Elinor and of Don Alonso the 9. of that name king and Queene of spaine which Blancha was to mary the Prince of Frāce named Luys sonne heyre to king Phillip surnamed Augustus which Luys was after-ward king of France by the name of Luys the 8. was father to Luys the 9. surnamed the saint This lady Blancha vvas neece as I haue said vnto king Iohn and to king Richard the first of Inglād for that her mother lady Elenor was ther sister and daughter to king Henry the second and king Iohn made this mariage ther by to make peace with the French and was content to giue for hir dowrey for that he could not tel how to recouer them agayne al those townes countres which the said king Phillip had taken vppon the Inglish by this kings euel gouerment in Normandie and Gasconie and more ouer promisse was made that if the Prince Henry of spayne that vvas the only brother to the said Lady Blāch should dye without issue as after he did then this lady should succede in the crowne of Spaine also but yet afterward the state of Spayne would not performe this but rather admitted her yonger sister Dona Berenguela maried to the Prince of Leon and excluded both Blanch and her sonne the king S. Luys of France agaynst the euident right of succession and propinquity of blood the only reason they yealded hereof vvas not to admitt strangers to the crowne as Garabay testifieth This hapned then and I do note by the way that this Dona Berenguela second daughter of Queene Elenor the Inglish woman was married as hath bin said to the Prince of Leon and had by him Don Fernando the third of that name king of Castilia surnamed also the saint so as the two daughters of an Inglish Queene had two kings saints for ther sonnes at one tyme the elder of France and the yonger of Spayne After this againe about threescore yeares the Prince of Spayne named Don Alonso surnamed de la cerda for that he was borne with a great gristle heare on his brest called cerda in spanish which Don Alonso was nephew to the king Fernando the saint maried with the daughter of sainct Luys king of France named also Blantha as her grand mother was and had by her two sonnes called Alonso Hernando de la cerda as the Prince their father was named vvhich father of thers dying before the king the grand father left them commended to the realme as lawful heyres apparent to the crowne yet for that a certayne vncle of thers named Don Sancho yonger brother to their father which Do Sancho was surnamed afterward el brauo for his valor and vvas a great warrier and more like to manage vvel the matters of warr then they he was madde heyre

that they were lifted vp and caried a-bout vppon a target by the chiefe subiects ther present as the spaniards were But as touching the principal point of that action which is the substance of admitting the king vnto his royal authority and oth by him made of gouerning wel and iustly and of the reciprocal oth of obediēce made to him againe by his subiects it was not much different from that which now is as shal appeare by the coronation of the foresaid Phillip the first who was crowned in the life and presence of his father king Henry after the fashion then vsed in the yeare of Christ 1059. and it was in manner following as Nangis and Tillet both authores of great authoritie among the French do recount it and Francis Belforest out of them both repeateth the same at large in thes words following King Henry the first of this name seeing himselfe very old and feeble made an assembly of al the states of France in the cytie of Paris in the yeare of Christ 1059. wher bringing in his yong sonne and heire Philip that vvas but 9. yeares of age before them al he said as followeth Hither to my dere frends and subiects I haue bin the head of your nobility men at atmes but now by myne age and disposition of body I do wel perceaue that ear it be long I must be seperated from you and therfore I do desire you that if euer you haue loued me you shew it now in giuing your consent and approbation that this my sonne may be admitted for your king and apparaled with the royal ornaments of this crowne of France and that you wil sweare fealtie vnto him and do him homage Thus said the king and then hauing asked euery one of the assistance in particuler for his consent a part and afterwards the whole assembly in general whether they vvould sweare obedience to him or no and fynding al to promise vvith a good wil he passed ouer the feast of the assention vvith great ioy in Paris and after vvent to Rhemes vvith al the court and trayne to celebrate the coronation vppon the feast of vvhit-sonday Thus far are the wordes of William de Nangis alleaged in the story of France by Belforest and it is to be nored first how the king did request the nobility people to admit his sonne and secondly how he did as ke ther consents a part for that thes two pointes do euidently cōfirme that vvhich I said at the beginning that only succession is not sufficient but that coronation euer requireth a new consent which also includeth a certaine election or new approbation of the subiects This is proued also most manifestly by the very order of coronation which insueth in Belforest taken vvord for vvord out of Tillet in his treatise of Recordes in the chapter of annointing the kings of France in thes wordes In the yeare of grace 1059. and 32. of the reigne of king Henry the first of this name of France and in the 4. yeare of the seat and bishoprick of Geruays Archbishop of Rhemes and in the 23. day of May being whit-sonday king Phillip the first vvas apointed by the said Archbishop Geruays in the great church of Rhemes before the aulter of our lady vvith the order ceremony that ensueth The masse being begonne vvhen it came to the reading of the Epistle the said Lord Archbishop turning about to Phillip the Prince that vvas ther present declared vnto him vvhat vvas the Catholique fayth and asked him whether he did beleue it whether he would desend it against al persons vvhatsoeuer vvho affirming that he vvould his oth vvas brought vnto him wherunto he must sweare vvhich he tooke and read with a loud yoyce and signed it vvith his owne hand and the words of the oth vvere these Ie Philippe par le grace de Dieu prochain d'estre ordonné Roy de France promets au iour de mon sacré deuant Dieu ses sanctes c. That is in Inglish for I vvil not repeate al the oth in French seing it is some what long I Phillip by the grace of God neere to be ordeyned king of France do promisse in this day of my annointing before almightie God and al his saintes that I wil conserue vnto you that are ecclesiastical Prelats al canonical priuileges and al law and iustice dew vnto euery one of you and I vvil defend you by the helpe of God so much as shall lye in my power and as euery king ought to do and as by right and equity he is bound to defend euery Bishop and church to him cōmitted within his realme and further more I shal administer iustice vnto al people giuen me in charge and shal preserue vnto them the defence of lawes and equity appertaining vnto them so far forth as shal lye in my authority so God shal helpe me and his holy Euangelists This oth was read by the king holding his handes betwene the handes of the Archbishop of Rhemes and the bishop of Syen and Bisanson legats of the pope standing by vvith a very great number of other bishops of the realme And the said Archbishop taking the crosse of S. Remigius in his hands he shewed first vnto al the audience the ancient authoritie which the Archbishops of Rhems had euen from the tyme of S. Remigius that baptized ther first christian king Clodoueus to annoint crowne the kings of France which he said vvas confirmed vnto them by priuiledge of the pope Hormisda that liued in the yeare of Christ 516. and after also by pope Victor and this being done he then by licence first asked of king Henry the father ther present dyd chose Phillip for king Il esleut le dit Philippe son sils en pour Roy de France which is word for word the Archbishop chose the said Phillip king Henryes sonne in and for king of France which the legats of the pope presently cōfirmed and al the bishops Abbots and cleargie with the nobility people in ther order did the like crying out three tymes in thes vvordes Nous le apprououns nous le voulons soit fait nostre Roy that is vve approue his election we vvil haue him let him be made our king presently was song Te Deum laudamus in the quyar and the rest of the ceremonies of anointing and coronation were done according to the ancient order of this solemnity vsed in the tyme of king Phillips predecessors kings of France Thus far do French stories recount the old ancient manner of anointing and crowning ther kings of France which had endured as I haue said for al most 600. yeares that is to say from Clodoueus vnto this king Phillip the first vvho was crowned in France 7. yeares before our William conquerer who also was present at this coronation had the third place amōg the temporal Princes as Duke of Normandie entred
