A RELATION Of the French Kings Late Expedition into the Spanish-Netherlands In the years 1667 and 1668. With an Introduction discoursing his Title thereunto And an account of the Peace between the two Crowns made the second of May 1668. Englished by G. H. Gent. LONDON Printed for John Starkey at the Miter in Fleetstreet near Temple Bar. 1669. THE INTRODUCTION Containing a Display of the Grounds upon which the French King layeth claim to a great part of the Spanish Netherlands THat the best Title of the French Queen to the Dutchy of Brabant and its annexes the Seignory of Malmes Antwerp Vpper Gelderland Namur Limburg and the places united on the other side the Meuse Hainault Artois Cambray the County of Burgundy and the Dutchy of Luxembourg consisted in the Sword of the King her Husband scarce seems a doubt to any but the French themselves And with what success the Cause hath been pleaded by that Weapon during the Campagne of 1667. the ensuing Narrative written by one that was present at most of the considerable Actions thereof giveth a particular and yet no immodest Account So that perhaps it is not much necessary to preface this Relation with a Display of the Grounds and Reasons of the War whose progress it exhibits accordingly the Author thought fit not to meddle therewith conceiving I suppose that the Justice of his Soveraigns Armes was sufficiently evidenc'd to all the Subjects by the Manifesto and other writings which his Majesty had publish'd immediately before his Forces enter'd Flanders Nevertheless in regard that 't is likely many into whose hands this Piece may fall have not so fully understood the Reasons whereby the French King hath endeavor'd to justifie to Forreign Princes and States his late Proceedings in the Netherlands nor those contrary ones whereby the Spaniards endeavour to maintain their own possessions and invalidate the French Pretensions I shall adventure to present the Reader with an Abstract of either Parties Allegations The French Queens Title stands thus Philip the fourth King of Spain married Elizabeth Daughter to Henry the fourth and Sister to Lewis the thirteenth Kings of France in the year 1615. on the same day whereon the last mentioned Prince espoused Anne of Austria Infanta of Spain The Portions of either side were satisfied by way of Exchange being the sum of 500000. Crowns of Gold Elizabeth some years after dies leaving behind her a Son nam'd Don Balthasar and a Daughter nam'd Donna Maria Theresa Afterwards King Philip marries another Wife by whom he hath Issue male Don Carlo who by the death of his half-Brother Don Balthasar became Heir apparent to the Catholick Crown In the year 1659. a Treaty of Peace was concluded between the two Crowns and together therewith a Marriage between Lewis the fourteenth now King of France and the above-mention'd Lady Maria Theresa for whose Portion the King her Father obliged himself to pay 500000. Crowns of Gold and pretended Salick Law debars Females from succession to the French Crown as also to the end that the two Crowns being too great and puissant to be united into one Kingdom all occasions of such a Conjunction might be avoided It was covenanted amongst other things that neither the Infanta nor her Children and Descendants in what degree soever should ever succeed in the Kingdoms Signiories or Dominions which do or shall belong to his Catholick Majesty as well within as without the Kingdom of Spain notwithstanding any Law or Custom which by this Agreement which is to continue in the full force and vigour of a Law for ever their Majesties did abolish This Renunciation the Infanta confirmed in these very Terms by her Oath in the presence of the Kings themselves the Princes of the Blood and the chief Nobility of both Kingdoms This Peace remained inviolated about six years in which time the King of Spain for the preservation thereof yielded to the King of France the Precedence which had occasion'd a fray between the Train of the Ambassadours of the two Crowns there at London But upon the death of Philip of Spain which happened toward the latter end of the year 1665. and had been lookt for the year before by his good Neighbour who from the latter end of 1664. had laid up great Magazines of Corn at Amiens and other places on the way towards Flanders discourses began to be spread abroad through France of a Title which the Queen and her Son the Dauphin had to certain Provinces of the Netherlands Nevertheless his French Majesty thought not fit to make discovery of his Designs till he saw what would be the Issue of the War which in great measure by his practices was broken out between the King of Great Brittain and the States of the Vnited Provinces whose Quarrel upon a pretended League made two years before he espoused In the mean time he set forth a considerable Navy at Sea which yet never engaged in any Action against the English and likewise made great Levies and warlike Preparations at Land without manifesting how he intended to imploy the same At length about the middle of May when his Neighbours the English and United Provinces being weary of the War had set on foot a Treaty of Peace at Breda wherein himself was also included he thought it a fit opportunity to publish a Manifesto of his Claim to part of the Spanish Netherlands which he likewise sent to several Princes of Christendom and shortly after seconded by falling into those Countries with a powerful Army the performances whereof are recorded in the following Narrative In the said Manifesto it is set forth 1. That by the customary Law of Brabant the Children by the first Marriage go away with the whole Inheritance of their Father the Children of the same Father by a second Marriage being excluded which Law is called Jus Devolutionis or the Right of Devolution and consequently that the Infanta now Queen of France being the sole surviving Issue of Philip the fourth by his first Marriage is Heir of all those Countries wherein the said Law doth obtain and so excludeth her Brother of the half-blood by a second Marriage 2. That by the Laws of Spain she is likewise Heir to her Mother of all her Marriage-portion and the Jewels left behind her at her death amounting with interest to the sum of 1100000. Crowns of Gold 3. That the Renunciation made by the Infanta at her Marriage is void and null First because that a Renunciation is only of an Estate in expectancy not of an Estate already fallen as these Countries are pretended to have been upon the death of the Spanish Queen Secondly because a Renunciation supposes a Portion actually paid but the Infanta never received any and that if the 500000. Crowns of Gold promised in the Contract of Marriage had been actually paid it had still been no Portion in regard 1100000. were due to her To all which some other specious reasons are added which would take up too much
