thirde wyfe of the same Emanuell was Eleonour sister to the Emperor Charles the fifte by whome he had two children to wit Charles who dyed in his infancie and Marye who also deceased and was neuer marryed When the sayde Emanuell was deceased Iohn the thyrde of that name his eldest sonne succeeded him in the kingdome as is aforesayde who by Katherine his wife had manye children the whiche dyed all in their infancyes except Prince John and Marye The whiche Marye marryed Phillip nowe King and then prince of Castile and dyed before her sayde husbande came to his Crowne leauing one onelye sonne whose name was Charles Whome as the fame thereof is constante his father King Phillip commaunded to bee put to death in pryson When Prynce Iohn came to the age of sixteene yeere hee married Jane the daughter of the sayde Emperour Charles and dyed aboute one yeare after leaving his wife greate with childe who in the sixte monethe after the death of her husbande brought foorth a sonne whose name was Sebastian whiche yong Prince when hee came to aboute the age of foure yeares succeeded in the kingdome by and after the death of the sayde Iohn the thirde his Graundfather by the fathers side Now when King Sebastian was come to the age of foure and twentye yeares vppon the intreatye and solicitation of Mulei Mahumet Kinge as hee pretended of Fez and Marrocos who by Mulei Maluco his brother was expelled and driuen out of his kingdome the sayde King Sebastian at the last determined to passe into Affryca with a greate and puissant Armye to restore this Mulei Mahumet to his kingdome And for the better accomplishmente thereof hee prayed his vncle King Phillip of Castile to voutchsafe some ayde vnto him in that beehalfe The King of Castile graunting this petition promised to ayde him with fiftye Gallyes well appointed and furnished and foure thousand armed souldyours King Sebastian trusting thereunto with all care and dilligence prepared his armye wherewith in the monthe of Iune 1578. hee departed from Lisbone and came to a porte of Castile neere the streighte of Gibraltare called el puerto de Sancta Maria where hee stayed certayne dayes for the Gallyes and menne whiche the Kinge of Castile had promised to sende vnto him But the Kinge of Castile vnder pretence that the greate Turke prepared an Armye for that yeare not onelye denyed to performe his promise but also that is farre woorse caused a proclamation to bee made and published thorowoute all Spayne subiecte to his Iurisdiction whereby all his subiectes were commaunded vppon greate pennalties that none of them shoulde accompanye Kinge Sebastian in that Voyage whereof certaynelye there can no other coniecture bee gathered sauing onely that the king of Castile by his vnmesurable ambition insatiable desire to haue dominion neither coueted nor hoped for any other thing then onely that the yong prince king Sebastian his nephew for want of sufficient force should be ouerthrown and come to destruction in the same Iourney so as thereupon the said king of Castile might by that meane haue oportunity to ioyne the kingdome of Portugall to his kingdome of Castile as it came to passe Neuerthelesse the saide king Sebastian being a prince of greate magnanimitie when hee had all thinges in a readinesse and employed infinite expences vpon the furnishing of this armie whiche was aboue a thousand Saile determined to pursue his voyage and ariued in Affrica and there landed all his armie amounting to about fifteene thousand fighting men Thereupon in the end hee came into a plaine fielde whiche beareth the name of Alcazar where the fift day of August in the same yeare was fought a great and terrible battaile betweene him and the enemie wherein the said yong king Sebastian was not onelye ouercome but also slaine in the field together with Mulei Mahumet whose parte he tooke at what time neyther did Mulei Maluco the king that fought against them escape For he in the time of the battaile being sicke and wearye of sitting his horse was remoued into his horselitter and there dyed during the battaile A battaile certainlye worthie to be had in remembraunce for in the same dyed three kinges together in one daye as in lyke manner there were slaine in the same aboue sixe hundred of the cheefest of the Lordes and gentlemen of the kingdome of Portugall besides the common souldiers the most wherof were slaine in the battaile and the rest taken prisoners amongst whiche number Don Anthonio of whome this booke specially treateth was one of the Captiues Further there be certaine persons who affirme that after the death of the sayde king Maluco there was found in his pocket a letter written vnto him from king Phillip wherein he assured king Maluco that king Sebastian nephew of the saide king Phillip shounde haue no ayde at his handes whereby may be perceaued agreat vnfaithfullnes of king Phillip against his owne blood Now when as by the death of king Sebastian the linage of king Iohn the third his grandfather by the fathers side was vtterly extinct it must follow of necessity if collateral succession take place in this behalfe that recourse must be had to the linage of the said Lodowike as seconde sonne of the aforenamed king Emanuell Whiche Lodowike as is afore aleaged had one onelye sonne called Don Anthonio who therefore his lawfull byrthe presupsupposed was the onelye lawfull and rightfull successor of the kingdome But it fell so out that while he in the said discomfiture of Affrica was taken prisoner and there remained captiue howbeit vnknowne of the enemie as it was alwaies before that tyme vnknowne yea and that also to Don Anthonio himselfe that hee was the legittimate sonne of the said Lodowike Henry the Cardinall his vncle the fift issue male of King Emanuell was preferred to the kingdom being then a very old man within a little while after by a wonderfull meane or rather by the prouidence of God the sayd Don Anthonio about forty daies after the losse of the battaile was deliuered out of captiuitie and returned into Portugall where he was with great ioy receaued not onely by King Henry but also by all the nobilitie and principall gentlemen of the countrey and most chiefly and principally by the common people For hee was beloued of all men as well in respect of his noble and excellent disposition of mynde as for the singular and rare vertues of his sayde Father Lodowike which most cleerely shined in him Within a fewe dayes after Don Anthonio was arriued at Lysbone the metropolitan Citie of the kingdome he was aduertised by one of his father Lodwikes ancient seruantes who was a man of good callinge and approued integritie that his father Lodowicke as is afore mencioned in this treatise was secretlye married to the said Iolenta And howe there were diuerse credible witnesses yet liuinge that could testifie the trouthe therof And besides that dyuerse men of good credit calling had expressed and declared

WHen Iohn the second of that name King of Portugall was departed out of this mortall life without any issue of his bodie lawfully begotten then liuing For his onely legittimate sonne Alfonsus while his Father was liuing dyed at Santaren by the fall of a horse The kingdome of Portugall descended or rather was giuen by election of the people vnto Emanuell the first of that name sonne of Ferdinando who was vncle to the same king John This was that king Emanuell whiche in the time of his Reigne conquered and annexed to his crowne a good part aswell of the East as of the West Indies together with diuers Cities and Townes of Affrica which at this day remaine subiect to the kinges of Portugall The whiche king Emanuell had three wiues the first whereof was Isabell the eldest daughter of Ferdinando and Jsabell king and queene of Castile which queene Isabell wife of the said king Emanuell dyed in child-bed after she had brought forth her first and onely son Michaell who when he was declared and sworne Prince of Castile and Portugall dyed in his yong yeares whereupon the said king Emanuell tooke to his second wife Marie the second daughter of the said king Ferdinando and queene Jsabell his wife By whiche Marie he had nine children The first whereof was John the third who succeeded his father in the kingdome and tooke to his wife Catherine the daughter of Phillip the first of that name king of Castile and Archeduke of Austriche c.

the same by their last willes and testamentes for the discharge of their consciences notwithstanding that it was alwaies kept verye secret through the endeuour of the said Lodowike aswel in respect of thine quallitye of the persons as also for that the publishinge thereof was not materiall at that time for that Don Anthonio was brought vp to be a Priest and Churchman and for that also there were then many other heyres of the kingdom that were nearer to the Crowne then he When Don Anthonio had receaued the same aduertisement he opened the matter to King Henry his vncle and besought him to voutchsafe the examitation thereof and to graunte that hee might produce certaine witnesses and poofes whereby the truth of the matter myght bee founde oute and manifestlye knowne for the auoydinge of all controuersies and warres which otherwise were lyke to arise betweene them who after the death of the sayde Kinge Henry myghte pretende Tytle to the kingdome For sithe hee was the onelye sonne of the sayde Lodowike seconde sonne of the sayde Kinge Emanuell if his byrth bee prooued to bee legittimate hee necessarilye excluded and barred all others that by tytle of consanguinitye myghte aspyre or pretende tytle to the succession of the kingdome notwithstanding there were anye of the children liuing who were beegotten of the daughter of the sayde Kynge Emanuell which was elder then the sayde Lodowike her brother forasmuche as the kingdome of Portugall falleth not by succession to the woman nor anye other descending of her When Kynge Henrye had vnderstandinge thereof beeing a verye olde manne as afore is aleaged and fearing least himselfe shoulde in case Don Anthonio were proued to bee borne in lawfull marriage bee depriued of his kingdome he conceaued so greate indignation thereat that immediatlye hee bannished Don Anthonio Thirtye myles from his courte with expresse commaundemente that hee shoulde not presume to retourne thither vntill his Maiestye shoulde take further order in that behalfe Thereuppon Don Anthonio yeilding his obedience to the same commaundemente made his repayre to the Cytie of Columbria being foure and thyrtie myles from Lysbone where at that tyme Kinge Henry kepte his Courte But yet neuerthelesse the sayd Don Anthonio lefte at Lisbone the sayde auntient seruaunte of his fathers from whome hee had receaued the sayde aduertisemente who at the same tyme was in the seruice of the sayde Kinge Henry and verye farre in his fauoure To this man the sayd Don Anthonio at his departing from Lisbone gaue a speciall charge to sollycite his cause to the Kinge in his absence with all endeuoure and diligence The which the same Minister promised with all fidelitye to accomplishe and made humble petition to Kinge Henry that with his good fauour and lycence hee might prosecute the affayres of the sayde Don Anthonio Whiche the Kinge not onelye graunted but also expressely commaunded him so to doe When the said Agent had receaued this aunswere of the King he required Emanuell Bishop of Almada then conseruator of the priuileges of the order of the Knights of saint Iohn at Thisle of Malta competent Iudge of the sayde Don Anthonio as prior of Crato of the same order To receaue and heare the depositions of witnesses and certain documents and instruments wherby the said Don Anthonio intended to verifie and proue himself to be issued of a lawfull marriage praying the sayd Bishop neuerthelesse to keepe the matter very secrete least the King by vnderstanding the same shoulde conceaue some newe displeasure Whereuppon the sayde Byshoppe proceeded in the examination of the cause Before whome were produced three witnesses who perfectlye with lawfull circumstaunces deposed that they were present at the celebration of Marriage betweene the sayde Lodowike and Iolenta parentes of the sayd Don Anthonio Also there was broughte and produced beefore the sayde conseruatour the Testament of one Rui Celema who while hee liued was knowne to bee a verye honest credible man of approued integritie and was seruaunte to Don Anthonios Father and in good estimation not only with him but also with King Henry This Rui Celema by his testament had declared that he alwaies vnderstood certaynelye knewe that the sayde Lodowike Father of Don Anthonio was secretlye marryed to Jolenta setting downe therewithall diuerse reasons whiche sufficyentlye prooue the same and bycause hee was at poynte of death and for that in tyme to comeit myghte bee expediente and beehouefull to the common wealth of the kingdome of Portugall to knowe that Don Anthonio was issued of a lawfull marryage therefore and for the discharge of his conscience hee had made true declaration thereof in his sayde Testamente There was also exhibited before the sayde Byshop the Testament of the sayd Lodowike wherby he ordeined and appointed the said Don Anthonio his son his only heire not only in al his goods Patrimoniall but also in certaine patronall rightes of greate im-Portance which were lefte vnto the saide Lodowike by the testament of his brother Ferdinando and his wife who as is aforesaide dyed without children Further there were produced before the sayde Bishop other witnesses of good calling and credite who deposed that King John the third of that name immediatlye after the death of the sayd Lodowike his brother gaue vnto Don Anthonio the signet and Armes of his father commaunding him to vse the same frankly and freely without barre or breach in as ample manner as his sayd father had the vse thereof as the sayd Don Anthonio hath alwayes since accordingly done Vppon the proofe of all these thinges the sayd Bishop taking vnto himselfe certaine other Iudges of the same order gaue sentence touching the same matter whereby it was pronounced and declared that the sayde Don Anthonio was the lawfull sonne of the said Lodowike and Iolenta the which sentence was also pronounced and confirmed in the Chauncerie of the saide order howbeit secretly for the cause afore aleaged In the meane tyme King Henry assembleth the estates of his kingdome to treate of diuers matters concerning the common-wealth and tranquillitie of the same and speciallye to deliberate who should be the next and meetest Heire to the crowne after his decease and yet neuerthelesse gaue expresse commaundement to Don Anthonio not to come to the said assembly but to send some deputie or agent that might represent his person there Also the same king Henry being very fearefull least Don Anthonio should proue himselfe to be legittimate required the Pope of Roome to voutchsafe to commit vnto him the hearing and examination of the cause touching the legittimation of the said Don Anthonio In the meane time the same king Henry proceedeth with the conuocation of the saide estates and commaundethe that these personages should be cited thither to wit Philip King of Castile as sonne of Isabell eldest daughter of the said King Emanuell which Isabell as is afore alleaged was married to the Emperor Charles the fift Also the Duke of Sauoy as nephew of Beatrice daughter of

the same King Emanuell Also Katherine Duches of Bergantia daughter to the saide Edward sixt sonne of the saide King Emanuell and lastlye the prince of Parma as father and tutor to his eldest sonne which he had by Mary daughter also to the sayde Edward All the which princes and potentates were cyted by the sayde King Henry to appeare at a certain day to thintent euery of them by his Ambassador or Agent might propound and set downe in the sayd assembly of thestates all such right and tytle as euery of them after his death could pretend to the sayd kingdome Saying hee was minded to determine the same cause in his lyfe time if possibly he could bring it to passe But if death shoulde preuent his purpose therein his meaning was to commit and appoint not onelye certaine persons to gouerne the kingdome but also certaine Iudges to determine who had best right and title to succeede enioy the crowne alleaging he tooke that course to auoide all controuersies inconueniencies warres which otherwise were like to happen Whereuppon all the sayde princes and potentates thus lawfully cyted sent their Ambassadors or deputies with sufficient instructions on their behalfe to propoūd in the said assembly of thestates their seuerall rightes and tytles which they pretended to the said kingdome Except onely Phillip King of Castile who answered he neyther had nor acknoledged and Iudge in earth but onelye in heauen And therfore woulde not commit his righte and tytle to the determination of any Iudges that shoulde bee appointed concerning that matter adding withall howe hee was sufficiently informed by his best learned lawyers in his owne kingdome that there was no other personage in the world sauing onely himselfe that had lawfull right to succeede in the sayde kingdome of Portugall after the death of the sayde King Henry which right in case it shoulde be denyed vnto him that then hee woulde obtaine the kingdome by force of armes When the most excellent pryncesse Katherine de Medicis the french Kings Mother was aduertised of these matters namely that King Henry had commaunded all them to be cyted whiche pretended auy tytle to the kingdome she sent into Portugall for her Ambassador the Byshop of Comminges to propound in lyke manner on her behalfe in the sayde assemblye of thestates the righte which she pretended to the sayde kingdome grounding her tytle vpon her descent from King Alfonsus brother to King Sancho the seconde of that name who before he was King had marryed in Fraunce Mawde Countesse of Bulloyne by whome he had two sonnes one of the whiche was marryed in Fraunce of whome the sayde Katheren de Madicis descended the other of the same sonnes deceasing in Portugall without issue and the plea exhibited on the behalfe of the sayde Kathereine de Medicis was receaued by the saide Kinge Henry in the saide assembly of the-states Also when the people of Portugal vnderstoode the right of succession of the kingdom was committed to examination and considering themselues had lawfull power right to elect choose a Kynge for and in default of a lawfull heire Masle descending directly of the Masculine line therefore they exhibited a supplycation to king Henry that his maiesty would voutchsafe to graunt them lycence to propounde and alleage thier right in that behalfe and to exhibite a plea whiche they had made thereof conteyning in substaunce and effecte as followeth To wit That the people of Portugall had made and chosen for their Kinge Alfonsus the first Kinge of Portugall sonne of Earle Henry Also that the same people had deposed from the administration and gouernement of the kingdome Kinge Sancho the seconde of that name after hee had Reigned by the space of fiue and twentye yeares and that thereupon the same people committed the administration and gouernement of the kingdome to his brother Alfonsus Earle of Bulloyne who had marryed Mawde the Countesse and after the death of Sancho they elected the same Alfonsus to be their King Further that the same people had elected made their king Iohn the first of that name the base son of King Alfonsus the fourth notwithstanding there remayned liuing two legittimate daughters of the same king Alfonsus Which King John the same people of Portugall did confirme in the royall seate mainteyned and defended him againste John Kinge of Castile also the first of that name who pretended title to the succession of the said kingdome of Portugall for and in the name of his wife eldest and legittimate daughter of the saide King Alfonsus Whereuppon there grew sharpe warre betweene the same two Kinges concerning that matter wherein the Kinge of Castile in thende was ouerthrowne in battayle aboute a certaine towne of Portugall called Algibarotta Moreouer that the same people had created their King Emanuell the first for that King Iohn the second had lefte no issue male descending of the righte Masculyne lyne Lastlye that they had made the sayde Cardinall Henry their King after the decease of Kinge Sebastian who was slayne in the battayle of Affrica leauing no lawfull issue of his body to enioy the Crowne By all these reasons the sayde people concluded that their power and righte to make the sayde election was offarre greater force and effecte then the righte and tytle of succession whereuppon the other pretenders grounded them selues and the same people added withall that by the Lawe called the mentall Lawe made by the sayde Kinge Iohn the firste of that name no woman can nor oughte to inherite anye goodes or possessions depending of the Crowne and therefore neyther myghte they who descended of the issues female as all the sayde pretenders did sauing onely the sayd Don Anthonio Vpon thunderstanding of all these matters so propounded and set down on the beehalfe of the people Kinge Henrye lykewise admitted their plea. Hereuppon whyle the states of the Kingdome of Portugall were assembled treating vppon the nomination and election aswell of those persons whiche after the death of the sayde Kinge Henrye should haue the administration and gouernement of the kingdome as also of suche as shoulde decyde and iudge the question and controuersie touchyng the succession of the crowne Thagent of Don Anthonio was informed that one Alphonsus of Alburquerque an aduocate of the Cytye of Lysbone was subcrned and wonne by some of the King of Castiles fautors and that hee had manifestlye declared his aduise and opinion to certayne greate menne of the kingdome whereby it euidentlye appeared that hee was altogether bent and enclyned to the King of Castiles parte Wherefore the same Agent propounded and put in againste the same Alfonsus a plea or byll of recusation to thintent hee shoulde haue no voyce in thelection neyther of the sayde administrators or gouernours of the kingdom nor of the Iudges that should haue the hearing and determination of the cause touching the succession of the crowne also the same Agente auoutched how hee woulde declare sufficiente causes that mooued him to
